These pictures of Monica Brown and Taraji P. Henson at the 2012 BET Awards circulated widely on Twitter.com last night, as users assumed singer Monica Brown was shading the actress when she walked behind her on the red carpet.

But ask yourself, why on earth would Monica throw shade at Taraji? That is not even Monica’s style.

Update:

Monica tweeted this earlier today on Twitter.com:

This post was originally written @ 11:42 a.m.

Always the consummate professional, Mo took to her Twitter page to give Taraji a shout out. But the devil was busy last night on black Twitter.

Fortunately, Mo’s fans know she has way too much class to ever shade another professional. Mo was obviously reacting to a joke told by her hubby, Shannon Brown.
