Tiffany Haddish Dismisses Mo’Nique’s Netflix Boycott + Spills More Beyonce Tea (UPDATE)

Tiffany Haddish Shares Another Beyoncé Story

Recently, Tiffany Haddish’s long-awaited interview with GQ was released. Readers finally got details regarding Tiffany’s story of almost fighting another actress at Beyoncé’s party last year.

GQ writes:

“There was this actress there,” continues Haddish, keeping her voice low, “that’s just, like, doing the mostest.” One of the most things she did? “She bit Beyoncé in the face.”

Haddish declines to name the actress.

(“I absolutely cannot comment on any of this, as I have no knowledge,” said Beyoncé’s representative, Yvette Noel-Schure, when GQ sought confirmation from the singer.)

“So Beyoncé stormed away,” Haddish says, “went up to Jay-Z, and was like, ‘Jay! Come here! This b***h—’ and snatched him. They went to the back of the room. I was like, ‘What just happened?’ And Beyoncé’s friend walked up and was like, ‘Can you believe this b**** just bit Beyoncé?’ ”

“And so then…,” she continues, “a lot of things happened.”

According to Haddish, she and the actress continued to cross paths throughout the night, culminating in a brief standoff. The actress, at one point, told Haddish to stop dancing, which—good luck making that happen.

“And then Beyoncé and Jay-Z walked by me, and I tapped Beyoncé.”

Haddish says she told Beyoncé, “I’m going to beat somebody a** at your party. I just want to let you know that.” Beyoncé asked her not to—told her to “have fun” instead. (Haddish leveraged this moment into a selfie with Beyoncé.)

“Near the end of the party,” says Haddish, describing her final run-in with Mrs. Carter sometime later, “Beyoncé’s at the bar, so I said to Beyoncé, ‘Did she really bite you?’ She was like, ‘Yeah.’ I was like, ‘She gonna get her a** beat tonight.’ She was like, ‘Tiffany, no. Don’t do that. That b**** is on drugs. She not even drunk. The b**** is on drugs. She not like that all the time. Just chill.’ ”

Haddish held this story in for as long as she could. Weeks. When people asked about what happened when she met Beyoncé, she tried to remain vague: “I’m not at liberty to say,” she would explain.  Right now Tiffany Haddish is too happy to keep a tale this juicy bottled up inside her any longer.

“There’s people out here biting Beyoncé!” she says, incredulous.

Tiffany Haddish Dismisses Mo’Nique’s Netflix Boycott?

Later in the interview, Tiffany Haddish has some things to say about Mo’Nique and her Netflix boycott. Apparently, Tiffany feels the platform is opening many doors for African-Americans in Hollywood. A Netflix Boycott could stop opportunities for these people.

She also feels Mo’Nique’s cause isn’t worth protesting about.

In fact, she feels Mo should just not do business with Netflix if they aren’t offering the money she wants. Tiffany also seemingly took a swipe at Mo’Nique’s husband, Sidney Hicks.

GQ also writes:

“My business run different than her business,” says Haddish. “I don’t live her life. I don’t have that husband of hers. I’m looking at how [Netflix has] opened up so many opportunities for black females and comedy. When my people are dying, that’s when you gonna catch me protesting. I’m not gonna protest because somebody got offered not the amount of money they wanted to get offered. If you don’t like what they’re offering you, just no longer do business with them. If I protest Netflix—what about all the black shows that are on there? What about all the other actors that are working on there? All the Indians, the Hispanics, the Asians. My show, The Carmichael Show, airs on there right now. It ain’t on NBC.”

Mo’Nique nor Sidney responded to Tiffany’s comments on their boycott at this time.

UPDATE: Apparently some people suspected that the actress who bit Beyonce was Sanaa Lathan. She denied this in a tweet.

  1. I don’t like MoNique but Tiff is wrong for criticizing her boycott on a white platform. Black people have to do better. It’s not like Netflix doesn’t have a history of underpaying black talent anyway.

  2. Tiffany ain’t been in the business for five minutes. She’ll see soon what Mo’Nique is saying. Right now she’s just happy to have any kind of opportunities. As far as the Beyonce bit, Tiffany is quickly gaining the reputation as someone who can’t hold water. That will hurt her later.

  3. I get c—n vibes from this woman. She’s pretty much paid to be every negative stereotype of black women possible. They love how loud and ignorant she is. It makes other races comfortable. But black people are supposed to love her right? I’ll pass.

  4. She didn’t have to shade Sidney to express her opinion. She’s on top. There’s no need to be messy when Mo’Nique has always spoken positively of her. This makes me look at her differently.

    1. I agree. This actually makes her look bad in my opinion. Especially when she just said on Twitter that she respects MoNique and supports her feelings/agrees there’s a pay issue for black women. I guess she was just being fake to look good.

      1. She’s friends with Charlemagne. I’m sure he called her to told her to follow the same script he’s been given. Once I saw her selfie with Oprah, I knew she would be changing her tune soon.

  5. Now see if MoNique read her a long time ago, people would have said she was wrong. But here she is being a b—- for no real reason. I see success has gone to her head. And by the way, her people are dying. Yet I don’t see her saying anything or doing anything about it. She just wanted to grandstand.

  6. “I don’t have that husband of hers”

    Now sis. You don’t want no smoke with Mo’Nique. She’s a real comedian and will read your non funny a— for filth. Don’t let Charlamagne pump you up boo.

  7. I don’t like Tiffany. Not only does she talk too much but she really is her character from Girls Trip. So that means she really wasn’t acting.

    1. That’s the thing. If you’re going to keep spilling tea, then spill all of it. Say who it was or say nothing at all.

  8. At some point, people have to understand that you can’t say everything you want to. Tiffany is going to mess up and say something she won’t be able to take back one day. She really does talk way too much.

  9. Come on now Tiff. And can she chill on discussing Bey in interviews? She talks more about Bey than herself.

  10. Man yet another chick hyped up by Charlamagne and the black blogs comes through to show how problematic she is. First Cardi, now her. They could use their platforms to promote real talent who don’t embarrass themselves for pennies. But nope, they promote people like Tiffany and Cardi. I’m so over it.

  11. First off this was a very tacky interview. Tiffany going to really regret this interview because not only does it show she has a big mouth but shows her lack of awareness and understanding of the industry. I definitely don’t agree with her stance aginst Monique’s boycott but I ain’t surprised. But I have a MAJOR problem with her speaking on Monique’s husband. That’s not her place to speak on him or how Monique’s business is run. I can understand if Oprah,Tyler,Lee, Will Packer or others who have had a business relationship with Monique criticized her because they’ve worked with her and can say I’ve experience etc etc. She has had no interaction with Monique or Sidney in terms of business so how can you speak on it smh.

  12. Ooo B. You just said the wrong thing. A difference of opinion is fine. But you got personal. “That husband of hers”. Mo’ is about to go in, and rightfully so. I hope you’re ready.
