Listen to your mother, folks! CHARLIZE THERON’S mom, Gerda, made it clear she thought scruffy Sean Penn was all wrong for her blonde beauty.

Now the “Monster” Oscar winner has finally tossed her monster fiancé to the curb.

“Gerda basically told Charlize he was bad news and she had to dump him,” a family friend exclusively told The National ENQUIRER. “Gerda believed the romance was doomed from day one.”

As we revealed in February, Gerda warned her daughter that Sean, 54, was “a hothead!”

“At first, Sean lavished Charlize with romantic attention – and the sex was phenomenal,” dished the insider. But as time passed, Sean became more demanding and less attentive, sources said.

In recent months, Charlize began to spend more time with her mom and girlfriends than with Sean – and Gerda began to convince Charlize to break up with the volatile actor.

The Christian Dior spokesmodel, 39, was also battling Sean’s kids from his marriage to Robin Wright.

Charlize was frustrated by the coldness of his daughter, Dylan, 24, and son, Hopper, 21.

“Dylan and Hopper had it drummed into them that no one could replace their mom,” an insider said.

Charlize gushed about Sean on the red carpet at Cannes in May, but close friends already suspected she was wrapping up the relationship.

“She finally came to her senses,” a source told The ENQUIRER. “Charlize realized that her mother was right all along!”
