Lettie Mae was the worst kind of hypocrite. Nothing Tara ever did was good enough, or righteous enough for her. Of course, she was busy sinning all over Bon Temps, but she never let that stop her from endlessly condemning her daughter to hell.

Olivia Pope thought her mother died in a plane crash, but she actually was a terrorist who caused the crash. She returned to ruin Olivia’s life by going after Fitz, who was the love of her daughter’s life.

Let’s be very clear, Scarlet Witch is the bad guy, not Wanda. She thought she was trying to save her children, but she was really just ruining the life of another universe’s Wanda. In the end, Wanda was able to overpower Scarlet Witch and be a hero one last time.

D’Angelo wanted out of the life. He was ready to move on. But, his mother manipulated him into staying, setting him on a path that would ultimately lead to his death.

Danai Gurira’s Michonne is a hero in all aspects of her life, except as a mother. I know this is controversial, but abandoning her children during the zombie apocalypse on the off chance that Rick is alive is irresponsible. Maybe the family will be reunited in the new spinoff series starring Gurira and Andrew Lincoln?

Mae never met an insult she didn’t like, proving that nobody knows how to cut you down like a church lady.

Olivia King knew she was destined to be a star. Unfortunately, being a mother wasn’t also part of that destiny and she left her family behind. Though she and her daughter were able to eventually reconcile, she can never make up for all the time she missed.

Victoria was more concerned with appearances than her daughters’ trauma. Even when they directly confronted her with it, she still didn’t want to admit what was happening.

Her children and grandchildren having superpowers isn’t good enough for Alma, and she lets them know it constantly. She’s so awful to poor Bruno, he spends his life living behind a secret wall in the house. And Mirabel is a nobody without powers. She doesn’t deserve all the forgiveness she gets.

Cersei is obviously a narcissistic psychopath, but she did love her children. The problem is she loved them too much. When Tommen starts listening to his wife, Margaery, and the High Sparrow instead of her, she arranges to BLOW UP EVERYONE! Seems like a bit of an overreaction.

Do you know how bad of a mother you are to be the worst on a list with Cersei Lannister and an actual evil witch? Mary blamed Precious for everything that was wrong with her life, never even pretending to care about the harm she was doing to her child. That being said, Mo’Nique earned every last bit of that Oscar.
