YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - When "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan was hospitalized last month, his mother says she found out about it on the Internet.

Alicia Warden hasn't seen her son in a decade and she adds that she has never asked anything from him.

"I never asked anybody for anything," said the Youngstown resident. "Everything I've got, I got my own, bought myself," Warden said.

Warden raised her children in Brooklyn and moved to Youngstown in the nineties to be closer to her sisters when she was diagnosed with cancer.

When the 62 year-old was laid off last February from her job at MYCAP, she fell behind on her mortgage. With $24,000 still to pay off, she asked her son for help. She claims she was offered $2,000.

"I said, Tell Tracy thank you, but no thank you," remembered Warden. "I'm his mother, I'm not someone in the street."

In a statement sent to us by his publicist, Morgan said, "I am saddened that these untrue stories about me have people questioning my commitment to my family. For reasons that are between us, I have not seen my mother in 11 years, and outside of a random call here and there, have had little to no contact with my sister. We all have personal family issues that we have to deal with in life, but I choose to deal with mine in private and not through the media."

Warden says she wouldn't have talked to the media, except she feels her family's dirty laundry was aired when Morgan portrayed her in an unflattering way in his 2009 book I Am the New Black.

"The whole book was a complete lie," she said. "Don't make me try to look like this or that, a prostitute or something like that just to better your career."

Warden says her foreclosure date is February 23rd. "After the 23rd I'll be on the street," she said.

Warden says she doesn't want to burden her other children by moving in with them.

She says she still loves her son.

"That's still my son and I'm his mother," Warden said. "He can hate me all he wants. I brought him into this world. I love Tracy to death," she said. "That's the way it is."
