Fans of "Tia & Tamera" are still saying "Ewwww" after Tuesday night's season finale.

 

In case you missed it and haven't been on Twitter, Tamera Mowry-Housley gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Aden and, shortly after, wanted her twin sister, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, to partake in a little placenta with her. To be clear, the placenta belonged to Tamera.

Tamera mixed the placenta with brandy in an attempt to make it more appealing, but Tia resisted, at least at first, and said she saw "residue" on the medicine dropper. But in the end, Tia tasted Tamera's placenta and said, "Mmmm. It's kinda good."

"Tia and Tamera took it too far," tweeted Stormi Brock. "Tia just tasted her (sister's) placenta. Ewww!" While Marissa tweeted: "Tia and Tamara -- worse than Kourtney giving Khloe her breast milk."

 

Fans might not recall, but this wasn't the first time the twins have shared each other's post-pregnancy fluids. When Tia had her son Cree nearly two years ago, she got Tamera to drink some of her breast milk.

 

Later, Tia defended her actions on her blog, writing: "Tasting Tamera's encapsulated placenta was very interesting! If you think about it too much, you're not going to like it, because all you're going to think about is that you're consuming placenta. But I was really, really surprised that it tasted pretty good mixed with a little bit of alcohol. It was definitely Tamera paying me back for making her taste my breast milk. I tasted my own breast milk and I still think my breast milk was sweeter than Tamera's placenta!"

 

So, there you have it. Fans can be disgusted all they want, but these sisters are tasters, and they're not afraid to lose fans over it. What do you think? Did the Mowry twins go too far with their placenta cocktail?

Not only are they sisters, their twins! It was funny to watch. Woman's placenta after childbirth has been used in medicine since the 1500s. I'm happy they put this on their show because I'm pregnant and now am going to encapsulate my placenta. I've done a lot of research on the subject.

Eating afterbirth uh...... That's worse than chewing the food for your kid (who has teeth) and spitting it in his mouth as one celebrity does.

And there was a point to this article that the general public was beating down the door to get to?   Sometimes a little too much information is definitely a bad thing.  Don't think many of the readers had a grand desire to share this touching moment between the twins.....and, sorry to say, but it is disgusting and should have been left untold.

Tta and Tamera went too far with this.  Getting her sister to taste her placeenta is waaaaaay too much. That s_i t looks nasty!  I know they are twins and all that but, damn where do you draw the line?  Nonsense..and it might get their show off the tv too.

And these two are role models for our daughters?  Or, are they just two of the baby-mamas from the guy in the lead-in story?  Another two disgusting freaks...
