Loretta Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Loretta Brown is a fictional character on the FOX animated television series Family Guy, the ex-wife of Cleveland Brown and mother of Cleveland Brown, Jr. She is voiced by Alex Borstein.

Loretta is strong-willed and somewhat controlling. She dominated her ex-husband, and in several episodes Cleveland alludes to the fact that she placed high demands on him in the bedroom. She is keen on promoting black culture and, according to Cleveland, "doesn't allow white literature in our house." Loretta also seems to have some degree of acting talent, as seen in "The King is Dead". She was a very good cricketer, and is very fond of three bean salad.

In the episode "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire", Loretta has an extramarital affair with Glenn Quagmire, and later divorces Cleveland after they had a fight about it. She thinks that Cleveland is too gentle and kind, and (during their confrontation) she scolds him when he apologizes for not satisfying her enough. Since then, Loretta has been retired from the series, and it is assumed she has custody of Cleveland, Jr.

A DVD commentary reveals that Loretta may make a few cameo appearances in Season 5.[original research?]
