Debbie Allen与Kirk Franklin晚会共舞视频疯传：Allen之子发帖批Franklin太过火、要求道歉
11月9日晚，2026年EBONY Power 100晚会在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市的Hollywood Palladium举行。福音歌手Kirk Franklin为晚会开场，演唱他与说唱歌手GloRilla合作的歌曲《This Time》时走下舞台，与当晚的受表彰者、演员兼编舞家Debbie Allen即兴共舞。这段片段11月10日起在Instagram和Facebook上疯传，成为晚会后被讨论最多的画面之一。
据The Shade Room报道，片段中Franklin身穿格纹西装，Allen身穿黑色晚礼服、披红色披肩。Allen转过身贴近Franklin起舞，动作被不少网友形容为「twerk」；Franklin把一只手搭在她肩上，她抬手轻抚他的脸。片段结尾，Franklin指向Allen、用口型说出「Call me（打给我）」，Allen随即看向镜头、露出夸张表情后走开，旁边有宾客笑出声来。EBONY官方的晚会回顾也写道，Franklin开场先带领全场祷告、再唱起《This Time》，「还与Debbie Allen共舞，引发热议」。
网友反应两极。The Shade Room的Instagram帖子下，许多人留言玩笑，夸76岁的Allen状态好、精力十足；也有人质疑，在一首福音题材歌曲的表演中这样共舞是否得体。两人都已婚多年：Allen自1984年起与前NBA球员Norm Nixon结婚，Franklin自1996年起与Tammy Franklin结婚。
争议随后升级。据HypeFresh与ItsOnlyEntertainment报道，Allen与Norm Nixon之子Norman Nixon Jr.（网名Thumper Nixon）在社交平台发帖批评Franklin，称他「太过火」、得意忘形，说Franklin应当向Norm Nixon、Allen、Franklin自己的妻子与孩子道歉，还说Franklin「需要暂停一下（timeout）」；他并在评论中表示，自己也已就这段共舞与母亲谈过。这些说法是其子对片段的个人解读，GSM按发帖原意转述，不作定论。
截至发稿，Allen与Franklin本人均未就这段视频公开回应。这场晚会由Tisha Campbell主持，主题为「我们塑造的故事」（The Stories We Shape），受表彰者包括Jay-Z、Megan Thee Stallion、Alicia Keys与Brandy等。《This Time》于今年9月发行，Franklin此前曾在「Joe and Jada」播客上向Fat Joe与Jadakiss预览过这首歌。

Debbie Allen and Kirk Franklin's Gala Dance Goes Viral: Allen's Son Says Franklin Went Too Far and Owes Apologies
On the night of November 9, the 2026 EBONY Power 100 Gala was held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Gospel singer Kirk Franklin opened the evening and, while performing "This Time," his song with rapper GloRilla, stepped into the audience and danced with one of the night's honorees, actress and choreographer Debbie Allen. The clip spread widely on Instagram and Facebook from November 10 and became one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
According to The Shade Room, Franklin wore a checkered suit in the clip, while Allen wore a black evening gown with a red wrap. Allen turned around and danced close to Franklin, in moves many viewers compared to twerking; Franklin placed a hand on her shoulder, and she caressed his face. As the moment ended, Franklin pointed at her and mouthed the words "Call me." Allen then looked into the camera with an exaggerated expression before walking away, as a nearby guest laughed. EBONY's own gala recap also noted that Franklin opened with a prayer and "This Time," plus "a dance with Debbie Allen that got people talking."
Reactions were divided. Under The Shade Room's Instagram post, many commenters joked and praised the 76-year-old Allen's energy, while others questioned whether the dance was appropriate during a performance of a gospel-leaning song. Both performers have been married for decades: Allen to former NBA player Norm Nixon since 1984, and Franklin to Tammy Franklin since 1996.
The debate then escalated. According to HypeFresh and ItsOnlyEntertainment, Norman Nixon Jr., the son of Allen and Norm Nixon who posts as Thumper Nixon, criticized Franklin on social media, saying he had gone too far and gotten carried away, that Franklin owed apologies to Norm Nixon, to Allen, and to Franklin's own wife and children, and that Franklin "needs a timeout." He also said in comments that he had confronted his mother about the dance as well. Those remarks are the son's personal reading of the clip, reported here as posted, without GSM drawing a conclusion.
Neither Allen nor Franklin had publicly commented on the video as of publication. The gala, hosted by Tisha Campbell under the theme "The Stories We Shape," honored Jay-Z, Megan Thee Stallion, Alicia Keys, Brandy and others. "This Time" was released in September, and Franklin had previewed it for Fat Joe and Jadakiss on the "Joe and Jada" podcast.
