If you’re excited about Lifetime’s newest Mary J. Blige–produced film, you’ll definitely want to catch this conversation.
Jordan With The Juice sits down with entertainment powerhouse Mona Scott-Young for an exclusive interview diving into Mary J. Blige Presents Be Happy, the romantic drama that’s already sparking buzz ahead of its premiere. In the interview, Mona opens up about the vision behind the film, Mary J. Blige’s creative involvement as a producer, and why stories centered on women’s emotional journeys continue to resonate so deeply.
Officially titled Mary J. Blige Presents Be Happy, the film follows Val, a devoted wife and stay-at-home mom who begins questioning her identity and marriage after her child leaves for college. As empty-nest feelings, loneliness, and emotional distance from her husband Ross take hold, Val realizes that both her marriage—and the woman she once was—may be slipping away. The story is a powerful exploration of love, reinvention, and what it really means to choose yourself.
The film stars Tisha Campbell, Mekhi Phifer, and Russell Hornsby, with an added layer of star power behind the camera. Be Happy is directed by Oscar-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe, marking another major milestone in her growing career as a filmmaker.
