Sister Sister’s Tamera says her ‘fans’ used to call her HORRIBLE names

If, like us, Sister Sister played a massive role in your after-school routine, then you might be stunned to learn that one of the show's stars had to put up with a LOT of negativity behind the scenes.

Speaking on daytime chat-show, The Real, Tamera Mowry opened up about the abuse she suffered at the hands of the show's so-called fans, and by the looks of things it's not something she's completely over.

Revealing that viewers called her the 'ugly goofy twin' in fan letters (seriously, the irony), the 37-year-old actress admitted that she soon began to believe the jibes levelled at her.

"For years, I made an agreement with that stupid statement. And I carried it around with me, you guys, for years. I thought I was ugly and I thought I was goofy," she said choking back tears.

Breaking the hearts of 90s kids everywhere, Tamera – now a mum-of-two – said she carried the upset for years until a friend gave her a stern talking-to.

"My amazing best friend said, "You know what Tamera? You are not 16-years-old anymore. You do not have to listen to that insecurity in your head anymore. You do not let other people define who you are."

The actress was met with major applause from the audience and her fellow panellists when she revealed that she no longer takes those comments ot heart.

"Your words and you – who I don't even know – I'm not going to give you power over who I am. I know who I am and you don't define me. I define me!"

You go, Tamera! Channel that inner Lisa Landry!
