Meagan Good's pastor husband defends her revealing outfits in public, says it's all about her heart, not what she wears.
Devon Franklin, Seventh Day Adventist Minister and husband of 'Think Like A Man' actress, Meagan Good, has risen to her defense following harsh criticisms of her outfits in public, which some have considered too revealing for a clergy's wife.
According to Essence magazine, Meagan, who got married to Devon in 2012, has been the subject of public bashing by those who expected her to have changed her wardrobe once she got married. Another section think her husband is to blame for not calling her to order.
Speaking at the Essence Festival empowerment panel on love and marriage in New Orleans on July 5, Franklin said: "I don't own her [and] she doesn't own me. We are together and I respect whatever she chooses to put on. When I married her, I said, 'I accept you for who you are. And whatever you choose to wear, that is your right'".
The minister of the gospel continued: "So many people try to live by a label, but that's not the box God put us in. Who we are is not defined by a box. When I live by your expectations of what I should do, then I limit who I am and then I become depressed because I can't be my true self".
Speaking on the plunging blue dress Meagan wore to the 2013 BET Awards, which sparked outrage on social media, her pastor husband said: "I saw her before she walked out, and I said, 'Amen, praise the Lord!' The only ones with the guns out were those that read the same word that says, 'Love your neighbor as yourself'. But the love was not there. I don't have an issue [with her clothes]. It's not about the dress; it's about her heart. And I know her heart is amazing, that's why I love her".
