The other day comedian and Oscar-winning actress Mo’Nique made headlines because she didn’t mince words when it came to Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels.
In fact, during her recent stand up show, she went all the way in on all three.
Interestingly enough, she recently went into detail about why she said what she did in her podcast with her husband.
Click next for the details.
I’m not saying she wasn’t done wrong by all three, but at what point does she stop talking about this?
So basically it’s just show business people being fake like usual?
I’m still trying to understand how she was blackballed if she’s still getting work ?
Sigh…
Mo is clearly too real for Hollywood and I appreciate that. I will continue to root for her.
Real how??? Jus asking..i saw her talking about it on tmz..it seems to me her husband is pulling those reigns..she couldn’t speak for herself without him practically cutting across speaking for her etc..smh..shes burning bridges..its not what you say but how..
I saw that too, and I was thinking the same thing.
I get what her issue is. My thing is, why not call them up on the phone, arrange a meeting and sit down and talk about it to each other about it. Why is that people have to use social outlets to let people in on your personal trials. All 4 are prominent black people in the industry. When are we going to stop all this foolishness in front of the world. You may never know when you will need that person. For me, I don’t like it. This reality method is a bit much.
Crystal thank you…don’t understand how any of that sh-t is going to be beneficial but whatever
Lee and Tyler sound real messy.
So does Monique and her husband
Ok so she explained everything. So this needs to be the last time she talks about this.
I wish she would shut the hell up. And she needs to stop letting her husband hype her up about sh-t all the time. He’s not going to stop until she really is blacklisted.
You don’t come for Oprah… I’m not cosigning this effery. I never thought she was a good actress. I believe that’s she does have a bad attitude. It shows!!
There’s a back story and Monique and her husband have requested Tyler, Oprah, and Lee call them and talk about the real issue. After the whole comedy thing Tyler Perry finally did. And he admitted to Monique that she has been done wrong. However, he wouldn’t say it in public because he has a movie coming out and it would cause too much controversy. Monique can choose to play their game but I applaud her for standing up for what’s right. Now all of these black actors and actresses are speaking in cirlces because they don’t want to express too much of an opinion in fear of the same backlash. Sad. The story that Monique said on her podcast was of an African American All Star baseball player named Curt Flood who refused to be traded because his contract was up and he wanted to be a free agent. The league wouldn’t allow it so Curt went to his lawyer and filed a lawsuit against Major League Baseball. His lawyer warned him that this might mean that he will never play baseball again and Curt said
“Will this help future players?” The lawyer said yes and Curt went ahead with the lawsuit. This main was an ALL Star but he died broke because he stood up for what was right, and he was ok with that. Stand for something…
