The actress is a trending topic on various platforms throughout the day as tens of thousands of people comment on her mother’s recipe. Someone we certainly didn’t expect to become a trending topic today (April 4) is Paula Patton. The actress has found herself at the center of jokes and memes after sharing a video online, and the booing doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon. It’s common for celebrities from all backgrounds to take to their social media pages to share recipes or clips of themselves cooking in their kitchens. Some have even written cookbooks, while others are launching YouTube channels uploading their recipes, and Patton joined in, showing her mom teaching her how to bake chicken. It was an internet moment that could have gone without any public attention, but unfortunately for Patton, it wasn’t. People teased the actress about how she prepared her chicken by rinsing it in water and dipping it in flour before putting it in the hot oil. It was then that she added all the spices to her oil and in the video, Patton boasted about her sizzling fowl. The jokes roll in for most of the day and after the video went wild about TikTok, its visibility has only increased. Even her fellow celebrities and a few rappers have responded in comment sections. People have mentioned Patton’s ex-husband Robin Thicke as well as her biracial background, but you can check out the video for yourself as it continues to get tens of thousands of comments on the internet.
