Baltimore Riots Mom Oprah Gave Me Thumbs Up For Smackdown On My Son

TMZ just spoke to Toya Graham and her son, Michael Singleton, in NYC where she's become a media darling for her now famous public shaming and butt-whupping of her son when he attempted to join rioters in Baltimore this week.

Toya told TMZ about all the cool people she's met in person since the run-in but explained why the phone call from Oprah topped them all. She also revealed what big O had to say about her parenting skills.

Best of all Toya tells us exactly what kind of punishment Michael's getting at home.
