Actress Mo’Nique may have burned her last bridge in Hollywood. Last week, the bitter Oscar winner launched into a tirade against black Hollywood moguls Oprah, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels — telling them, “suck my d-ck”, for allegedly blacklisting her in the industry.
After video of her rant went viral, Perry extended an olive branch to the 49-year-old comedienne. Their conversation was supposed to remain private between the two of them. But Mo’Nique and her husband, Sidney Hicks, may have betrayed Perry’s confidence in an hour long video.
Mo’Nique said Perry called her from the Bahamas to tell her he felt her pain, but Perry said he didn’t want to speak publicly about the allegations because he has a movie coming out soon and it’s “too hot” right now for him to speak on the topic.
Perry also allegedly said he didn’t like Daniels but he was willing to take full responsibility his own actions in derailing Mo’Nique’s career.
Watch the rather long video below.

Yea Monique is doing way too much. She is messing herself up with all these senseless rants.
I’m really tired of hearing about her and her complaints. All these vague things she’s talking about. Either give the real “dish” or hesh up! LOL
I say tell it Monique! Don’t let them silence you!
she a self saboteur
Ohh Monique….honestly Perry didn’t have to apologize about anything if you ask me. I thought it was really nice that he made that gesture and I agree not everything has to be public!
This again….
Woooooooooo…I tried listening to this latest video, but it’s a lot of he said/she said and I just can’t keep up with it all. It’s too much. If the brother (Tyler Perry) had the integrity to call and discuss it with her one on one, she should respect that because nobody else seems like they are rushing to pick up the phone. We don’t need to know alllll the details. I don’t know…this just seems like it’s getting a little messy, but I wish her the best. She’s definitely talented, but I don’t care if you famous or a regular person, you got to watch what you say about people because even a broke person can burn bridges. It seems like she on par to do just that.
And very mature of him as well because THAT is how adults are supposed to act.
Nobody’s going to want to work with her because she has a nasty attitude. She doesn’t get her way and then get nasty. She thinks she’s queen of sheeba but they thought her something, she too can be replaced. They didn’t blacklist her she, her big nasty mouth, blacklisted her.
She’ll be bagging groceries at this rate. Can’t sell poon she too old
Something’s going on cause people are losing it left and right.Mo’s husband should stay out of this mess, she should never have used him as her manager. Where in the Bahamas was Tyler does he own an island there, I wonder if he likes sexy time with Bahamian men those guy’s are hung
Certain decisions have all ready been made when you open your mouth. Mo don’t care anymore. That’s obvious. If you’re going down….go down on your own terms.
Did Mo’Nique Burn Her Last Bridge With Tyler Perry?
^^ At this point.. I have an incling that Mo’ could give a fugg or curr less bout them bridges.. Im just assuming
All these comments talking bad about Monique and the post hasn’t even been up for an hour…nobody watched it; she just the angry black woman with a nasty attitude today
To quote Sommore “She DICKmatized”! You can’t see Sydney’s hands most of the video because he has one of them up Moniques back! ‘Daddy’ is pulling all the strings in this mess.
If Tyler really did mess with her career then I see no issue with her blasting him. You don’t put a fellow black sister down. If her attitude is really nasty then don’t work with her again, but don’t sabotage her getting roles that had nothing to do with you or your work. Who even does that? If I have a prob with you I would keep my distance but I won’t reach out to big names to have them skip past you for roles you deserve and would be good at….wth???
Agreed…this is her life and if she wants to speak out on people telling others in the industry not to work with her she has every right to do so.
Agreed 1099000%!
That’s what I thought too!! I’m actually watching the video. I won’t watch all tho lol.
Her husband did the majority of the talking in this video.
She must not need money anymore.
She has the right to speak out against people who are doing her wrong. If they don’t want to be named or the public to know they shouldn’t have done it because what’s done in the dark comes to the light oneday.
Watch 19:00-22:00.
This is where I draw the line. NOW you messing up OTHER
folks money. He said he had stuff riding on it. He would address you when he could. But no. Why are we as blacks spending so much time on this ghetto trollop? We have spent less time on very important topics and this conniving woman got folks pitted against each other and choosing up and taking sides and what not. She should feel lucky she went from playing the loud fat fren to Oscar winning. Is that not enough lady? Lord Jesus I want her to just STOP.
she really been showing her ass lately, as if anything she’s doing is going to help her get her foot back in the door. This is what people will reference to when looked at for movie rolls! they see how truly unprofessional and unhinged she has acted! in almost all the movies she has acted in her rolls are mainly the same! Her show everything… and from what i’ve seen there hasn’t been a movie out in a while that fits the characters she plays! she’s put HERSELF in that bubble! she gotta prove she’s more than a attitude having loud mouth woman! she gotta prove she can take on more diverse rolls and this isn’t a step in the right direction! she done black balled herself!
If they did something to blackball her, shame on them, but I’m sure her attitude had something to do with it! Tyler Perry seems like a more reasonable person than the other two though, so she should at least appreciate his honesty. In some states its against the law to tape people without their consent, so if she burned her last bridge that’s on her!
Do Whatever Works 4 U Mo’Nique………

So if someone did any of you wrong that are against her speaking out y’all just going to sit there and take it? Maybe it’s not about money obviously she could care less…
They told him to call live like he was actually sitting watching their podcast
Exactly. And it’s because HE has nothing to lose. When her career is completely over, he can find himself a woman like the one’s he was dating for TWENTY years and never ONCE tried to get with her… until. There’s something to be said for a man who friend zone’s your a$$ since 8th grade and then all of a sudden loves you when you hit it big.
And I am also at a loss. WHY is this still such a Brouhaha EIGHT years LATER? I think that is what pisses me off. This wasn’t last year. Or even the year before THAT. Precious is an EIGHT YEAR OLD MOVIE folks.
AMEN
She took it for 7-8 years tho? This reeks of now I am broke, so now Imma say something. If you feel strongly about something you call BS out the damn GATE
#TeamMo’Nique.
Meanwhile Gabby walked away with all your roles because she played the game, every career path has one. She was everywhere that production needed her to be. Its time for Mo to shut up now!
So it WASN’T a breach of contract after all. It wasn’t in her contract so that’s why she asked to be compensated for her time…very reasonable IMO. It was very messy for them to black ball her behind that…she just wanted to be paid fairly
I can’t listen to the whole thing, it just sounds too messy.
She did mention it a long time ago…it’s just back to a hot topic because she did the stand up telling them to suck her dack
First I heard of this was a year or two ago. So yes she spoke up still WAY late.
She better call Katherine Heigel, she humbled her self and started doing mouthwash and cat food commercials to get back in.
Ahhh now you have my mind wondering???? never thought about it like that.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/19/monique-blackballed-hollywood_n_6715426.html
First it was EVER in the media. 2015. Still way later. the movie was 09-’10.
It was a low budget indie film that BECAME a surprisingly blockbuster success. Mo was paid what she that thing she’s married to agreed on. To me, her husband is the hostile person and is sabotaging her career. Mo is so drunk in love that she cannot see the forest for the trees.
I have time today…work is extremely slow…8 – 15 minute mark is where they give real deal
She should’ve handled that then. SHes harboring all those feelings inside and that’s not good.
Agreed
but…she did not ask for a higher salary. She asked for money to do the extra promo. Chilee… I dont charge my employer extra to host and plan networking events on their behalf.. but, you better believe I negotiated a bonus if we gain a new client as a result of my networking events.
Yes she’s a messy bitch
Every show she gets bombs, including the last one with Laverne Cox, which was canceled after 2 episodes. Katherine should have called David Caruso, who got bigheaded when he thought he was too big for tv.
Yep it was a surprise that it had all that success. She was ok with the pay; it was the saying no to the additional promoting that she was asked to do which was not in her contract that pissed them off. I don’t know what type of business dealings her husband has that would prevent her from getting work. More than likely it was the negative talking within the industry big wigs that stopped her from being cast again.
Mo is mad she only got paid 50k for that film, fooled around and surprised every, including herself and won an Oscar off of it, an earned herself a bad rep in the process of it all by refusing to do press for it. Everyone talking about Lee, Tyler, and Oprah may be jealous of her…when really SHE might be jealous of Gabby. Gabby is on Empire. The show SHE was supposed to be on of Lee’s. Gabby got other mainstream movie roles. Anyone ever think of that aspect? Too busy riding for this lady BS
Am indifferent I don’t care anymore , not crazy about Oprah, Lee and Tyler I’ve stopped putting people on pedestals. Mo can speak for herself her husband needs to shut up and step to the back
*everyone
I feel she is more upset about the wage gap then she is the actual Precious movie drama.. she said she is most mad that the winning black actresses make as much as the losing white actresses.
And they all moved on…lol
Exactly!
ppl jumped down Adrienes throat about what she said about Monique but i agree !!! loud & obnoxious does not equal right or keeping it real !!!
Another reason I think Oprah was feeling some type of way about Mo is because Mo took shots at Oprah about not having a husband and children. When the controversy first broke years ago, Mo was like, “I was laying in bed watching cartoon with my children and my husband. I have other obligations unlike some people who have never had a husband and children and don’t know what it means to put them first.” (I am paraphrasing but that was a low blow). It’s not like Mo married a man of substance…she married a con artist who conned her out of her career. Now, the two of them reminds me of the marriage between Latoya Jackson and her husband…the one who got her to say those things about Michael, pose in Playboy, etc.
And also to add to this heffa lateness…now a 2010 Oprah interview broke down her family in light of the incest that went on. You had no issue with Oprah until any of this stuff Mo. Again you had almost a decade to speak up on something that was bothering you
http://v103.cbslocal.com/2017/05/22/monique-oprah-winfrey-dismembered-my-family/
She was in the friend zone since 8th grade…that’s the one you supposed be like look at me now, not here’s my career destroy it…lol
Tyler’s mature? Most women think he’s on the down low not very mature if you are ashamed of your sexuality
Then she should have stipulated that in her contract. She did not unfortunately.
Yes his response to Monique was very mature, maturity has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with his sexuality.
If you care to inform yourself further on the situation, Mo says that there was a stipulation in her contract that stated she’d receive 5% on the backend IF the movie became a Blockbuster hit, which it did and she received nothing.
Am not on anyones side in this drama but Sydney is over stepping he didn’t win an Oscar nor was he in the starring role in The Parker’s, what a nerve
If he is ghey he probably fears it’ll ruin his career. I’d keep it under wraps too if i were him.
To be honest, I would have kept my bridges intact. And just not associate with you. Now my name is tainted all over Hollywood. And I need to work, I like my pool and my house staff…lol
She’s never said anything derogatory about or towards Gabby, so don’t go spreading make believe fairy tales into the atmosphere.
If that’s true and she didn’t receive anything on the back end as contractually agreed upon where is her lawsuit?
Oh woww, that was very mean of her to say. Monique has NOTHING to brag about because she SHARES her man. Oprah CHOSE not to have kids and at least Stedman is all hers!!
I never said she did. it was said her those three (Lee, Tyler, Oprah0 were jealous of HER. I said she MIGHT be. Did you see Might? I do. thanks
????? wtf is his job title supposed to be exactly? He needs to STFU!
Not really. If promo was never mentioned in the contract, there would be no reason to add the stipulation. IF the contract said free promo THEN she should have never signed it.
Meanwhile, black people are still at a disadvantage because too many have the same mindset as you and choose to “play the game” instead of fight the establishment. Meanwhile, Gabby has continued to play meaningless, devaluing stereotypical fat black girl roles and recently was disrespected by Nick Cannon when he sent her a few pages worth of self-deprecating fat jokes because she “stole Monique’s roles.” Why does Monique need to name drop white people when white people aren’t the ones blackballing her?
I don’t know if I would trust what Monique says. Years ago she had a syndicated radio show in Washington DC. In one particular broadcast she said that she and her husband Sid had an open marriage but that it was one-sided. She said Sid was allowed to see whomever he wanted but she did not participate in the open marriage of seeing/sleeping with other people.
Then a week later, this ninja was on the west coast on a late night talk show and again she said she and her husband had an open marriage but that it was one-sided. This time she said it was her that was participating in seeing/sleeping with other people. So the host asked her why her husband wouldn’t see/sleep with other people if she was giving him permission to and she said because he’s not that type of person but he was definitely okay with her doing it. Her east coast and west coast stories changed. She clearly lied. Just not sure which version was true or if any of it was true.
Or maybe she’s invested the money she made wisely an doesn’t need to pucker lips to ass to feed herself.
I agree with that point
You’d have to ask Monique that. I’m only sharing what so many are on commenting on before they’ve even watched the video. In retraction, Mo said the 5% was actually a gentleman’s agreement and not a contract on paper.
I saw MIGHT loud and clear and you have NOTHING backing up what you’re saying, so why would you pull that hogwash out of your ass? As your screen name says – Stop the madness, please!
Speak for your self, Monique! Me and mine aren’t at any disadvantage, as I look at my pool hoping it doesn’t rain this weekend so the kids can get in it. If white folks are all clamoring to get a piece of Monique why isn’t she working? Why is she back on the chitlin circuit. Oprah, Tyler and lee aren’t the only game in town. Like I said perhaps it was the abrupt end to her talk show that soured her reputation around town.
Oh wow!! smh
I kinda don’t even believe the 20 year story because she was married twice before to other men. So where was Syd the Skid then.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7e6b0f34ec7245ff4ebe0348bdf2ec3cab8308ad0aa2e9036ebaf7bb42762122.jpg
whew she addressed everyone saying “her husband need to shut up” 27-31 mark…There must be something said about a man that supports his wife and stands by her side. Stop taking the poison!
TALK YOUR STUFF MONIQUE! F these toe tappers and buck dancers who want to silence you and tell you to be quiet. Stand for the black people who are sick and tired of being thrown scraps, and let the content scrap eaters fall wherever they may.
Maturity has nothing to do with revealing your sexuality to nosey arse gossipers
Monique looks like an angry ape on the lose who pays for the D. She’s messy AF and clearly doesn’t understand that it’s OVER for her career and she needs to move on. It could’ve been repaired IMO because she did have some valid reasons to be upset YEARS AGO, but she took the hood ghetto KEEPING IT REAL ROUTE.
When Mo’Nique came to BET and meet with executives about her talk show she was a huge problem. My boss always had to fly out to Atlanta to talk to her. The word was she was very difficult and no one liked her on set. She creates the problem for herself and she cannot continue to blame everyone. I am sure her peers have tried to talk some sense into her but I believe she is beyond help. It is sad because she is a talent but she sabotages her own career. At times you have to eat humble pie ya know. She refuses to do that.
Please I don’t care for Tyler one iota nor who he’s sleeping with he bores me to tears he’s not remotely interesting , next!
It all a lie, he sleeps with whoever and she allows it because she’s afraid of losing him
So basically he say she say, this should of been In writing. Monique did not think the movie would do as well as it did and this is why she probably did worry too much about a contract until afterwards. If this is true lee Daniels is wrong for this, However Monique should of taken care of her business so that would be her fault
She give me a headache. I can’t take it anymore. STFU!!
When that new Monique movie come out said no one ever…lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/db39a0d11163f35d77d0bfa81355962de5ebc2283475fbc998e7a30f8422e0b8.jpg
a bad attitude gets you NO where!
Maybe she’s angry, Oh well she’s not hurting nobody but herself.
There’s a big difference between support and sabotage. He’s being partially blamed because he didn’t build MoNique, she did. As far as the public knows, he has no credentials (like a Communications degree or clients other than his wife) that justify why he’s having a say in how she makes money. From the sound of things, he got a certificate in Public Relations from DeVry U.
Sidney and Mo’Nique did it to themselves.
how true can this be? did you read the contract?? if any of that was true why didnt monique gather her lawyers and file a lawsuit?? its obvious its a lie
Actress Mo’Nique may have burned her last bridge in Hollywood.
***
Who said Hollyweird was the crème de la crème??? They are NOT GOD. They are full of child m-lesters, pedophiles and such… Maybe she don’t want to be there no more. Keep speaking, Mo!
Monique never said it did wtf
I don’t think she wanted to be paid fairly, she just didn’t want to go to the function at all.
So she can play one in the movie, but in real life its beneath her? Mary Williams was making Precious eat her box. But okay.
Lmo right
Love this!! Golden Girls is my all time favorite show!
Just like THAT is a role…so is playing the game with the SAME set of players.
Keeping it real will keep you unemployed!!
Wayment! I forgot about that… well, maybe she’s had a change of heart. A woman has the right to change her mind, right?
Man listen any time your azz continue to bring up a nagging issue over and over and over …. That is pain bew … Heal Monique end thiss cycle and move the fugg right on along…. Too much energy being put in to this… I have actually watched her show from time to time…. Pretty good… Capitalize on that not this bs about why you cant make something happen (manifest) for yourself … What Part of the game is that ?
And then what is her game plan? You can only change the system with power and she doesn’t have any. She is trying to justify her bad attitude by using the Uncle Tom card after tomming for years. This principle of hers is sudden. She is a loudmouth who thinks she knows it all but isn’t savvy. She does not know how to play the game and that’s why she’s losing. Even if all she’s saying is true, her sh!tty attitude, money hungry ways and slimeball husband certainly don’t help her cause. She is the living, breathing definition of “when keeping it real goes wrong”
Pretty much sums it up.
She is trying to justify her bad attitude by using the Uncle Tom card after tomming for years.
BLOOP!
Supports her? How? She is supporting HIM, he is looking after his OWN interests. Why doesn’t he have a career separate from hers? Stevie Wonder can see she is his work horse and he is fully exploiting her. Yet she’s so wrapped up in dick, she can’t see the forest through the trees. Supporting or pimping her? By her side? He doesn’t have anywhere to be? I am sickened by how she has to defer to him for every minute issue. Mo, you’re the only person that thinks he’s God, the rest of us know he ain’t sh!t. Keep his ugly mug off camera and handle your own business! He’s not shooting at the gym with you, you’re on stage telling jokes, not him.
Yes, desperate. His body language shows he isn’t attracted to her. He almost appears disgusted while it’s easy to see she is head over heels and setlling for whatever he dishes. For all her tough talk, she seems afraid to disagree or p!ss off this fool. Never love a man more than he loves you.
I was rooting for her but after this….well. She deserves what she gets. You have to handle yourself in a professional, businesslike manner. No one wants to deal with a loud mouth who has a bad attitude.
Sabotaging yourself will only make your pay smaller. That has always been the case as it was when she first began acting. Now unequal pay is the issue? A check is better than NO check. I can’t find one legitimate gripe from Monique. It is all bull.
Financial support isn’t the ONLY type of support that exists…she was not speaking in that content but on how he is supporting her decisions and standing by her side. I’ve never heard anything about his management skills so I will not attack his character based on that alone. So what she’s the famous one…I didn’t see any equally famous men trying to date and marry her so if she chose to be with a man that she was friends with first that wasn’t famous then good for her. She seems happy with him and their relationship and that’s all that matters…Men in the industry marry non-famous/wealthy women all the time; and sometimes abandon their ride or die that was there when they had nothing for some arm candy that they barely even know. At least she knew him and was friends with him beforehand.
It is a standard practice in their industry—-press, networking—which could lead to other opportunities but her opportunist husband is short sighted, all about a dollar like a crackhead. He does not understand the bigger picture. You’re not “working for free” if an even bigger job is obtained in the process. Now her reputation is sh!t for wanting the short term fix, when no one else was being paid for press either. She/Sid thought with all of her buzz, they coild hold the producers hostage for ransom because they “needed” her. Lowlife moves. They are hood ghetto and embarrassing.
I don’t work on my off days for free either. If they offer some money then I may actually consider it even if I didn’t want to…she said she asked to be compensated for the promoting that wasn’t in her contract and that was what upset them
It’s amazing how people believe whatever accusations are presented to the court of public opinion! MoNique had relationships with mainstream media, ShowTime, film companies, not just Black Hollywood!
Her husband took over, otherwise she would be doing a Netflix comedy special or some of the original streaming programming (Hulu, Amazon, Crackle, etc.) that is plentiful right now, especially for established entertainers with a following, shows like Ballers, Power, Insecure, TaChina Arnold’s show with baller son, it’s another golden age of television, and Mo’s absent!
So is SHE sabotaging her success or is he?? Yes, I hear him talking but it’s backing up what she said and telling the story how it was brought to both of them. I don’t see how HE’s doing anything detrimental here…it’s her that’s speaking up for herself and her man has her back. I see nothing wrong with that.
There is more going on, in this crazy saga. I hope Monique is saving her standup money, because her movie career might be over.
Again, he is not “supporting” her in any way, especially “decisions” because they are all of his decisions. She seems completely brainwashed at this point and yes, as her husbanger he is responsible for this bull of late. I’m not referring to the power balance as much as this clown doing interviews WITH her. Who does this? He is operating as if he is the star TOO. He is giving her horrible advice all in an effort to keep cash flowing, not procure opportunities and maintain her reputation. He is aware of his influence over her and clearly exploits her. Calling him “Daddy” in an interview discussing your career? Why is this joker even in frame? He could be a janitor, as long as he stuck to “janitoring”. This guy is unemployed and running her career in the ground for money to spend on his wh0res and she will pay for it. He doesn’t give two sh!ts about her career, reputation or even her from the looks of it. We will agree to disagree.
If I knew starring opposite Julia Roberts in a movie guaranteed to gross x amount opening weekend was possible after I got this Oscar and I did the junket like I was asked to do. My ass would been everywhere it needed to be if I knew a 10 million dollar film was down the pike or better yet, I could be starring in a Shanda Rhimes production created just for me. Play the game.
Why wasn’t she “fighting the establishment” when she was employed by BET during their whitewashing? Or when she took other roles? She played the Oscar game, didn’t she? Not to mention all of her cooning and stereotypical sh!t on The Parkers. Now she has integrity? Yes, blacks blackballed her because she is an insufferable embarrassment to the race, talent withstanding.
Tyler can’t be on the down low with us because he’s never expressed sexûality one way or the other he might be bi and his baby mama might be aware and completely fine with it.
And gabby was paid faaaaar less than she was. Hell Terrence Howard got 25k for hustle and flow but guess what he still did…
I am not here for calling BW “apes”. WTF?
He’s supposed to be her manager and have some foresight into how to shape her imagine and he’s doing a horrible job by allowing her to do all of these videos whining and crying about something that happened to her almost a decade ago.
Now that Tyler reached out to her over the weekend she’s making it worse.
Look I don’t care what you think of Tyler or the situation that occurred around Precious whenever one person is mature enough to reach out to someone who has been trashing him most people side with the person trying to squash the beef not the person who continues to play the victim by wallowing in the mud.
It’s called maturity and Mo’Nique has proven time and again that she doesn’t have any.
The shade must have been might strong coming from the Big Three in order to have Mo’Nique still talking about this. Whelp. She has plenty of money so even if she doesn’t work in Hollywood again she’ll be alright. The best revenge would be for her to keep doing her thing and let them know through her actions that they can kiss her black azz….
Just like Mary J’s estranged husband.
These emotionally desperate women allow these men to cross the line between husband and business.
Those two things should never mix.
But her behavior is exhibiting it.
Actions speak louder than words.
When keeping it real goes wrong,…. a la Chapelle style.
and prospered.
Mo’Nique should take notes but she’s too ghetto and ignorant.
Her husband isn’t helping the situation either.
Showing up at the Cannes film festival was an INVESTMENT.
Again Mo’Nique’s ghetto upbringing blinded her to that perspective.
Then she didn’t thank Daniels during her Oscar acceptance speech, but somehow it’s other people’s fault that people believe that she’s difficult and petty.
Mo’Nique wasn’t a known quantity when she made Precious so she had very little leverage, but again Mo’Nique was being short-sighted when he turned down the publicity tour.
Ha,ha,ha!!!
When keeping it real takes food out of your mouth and you homeless.
Oh well she’s not hurting nobody but herself.
That’s what she doesn’t seem to comprehend.
Even if ever single thing she says is true the way she is handling it is 100%.
No one wants to hang around such a Negative Nancy.
None of this in steeped in reality!!
PG: You can only change the system with power and she doesn’t have any.
Welll!!!
Mo’ better go down to the welfare!
So true ver classy, and right after that he told his staff she’ll never see a check with Tyler Perry on it
????
See?
How she have plenty of money? I’m sure her lifestyle and family demand a pretty good salary.
Young one, your tongue is too fast, slow down. Calling BW apes is not cool.
Monique let Gabby take her spot.
Haven’t been a fan for years. Now this ghetto, classless act. Her husband is trying start his career on podcast by attacking people as if they’re on the streets of Baltimore! I would be horrified if my spouse acted like this but then again he would never do this. Neither must have had a regular 9-5 because this is not professional. She better get that lump checked near her neck instead of trying to force people to call her out of anger.
BS excuse. Oprah was an overweight black woman who created a whole new lane. Monique had all the opportunities she could want, but got greedy and loud. That’s her fault.
If he cares enough to call, he might’ve been willing to cast her in something and give her a chance at a comeback. This rant ensures that NOBODY will EVER extend that olive branch again. #Stupid
She’s messy af! Her, that husband, and that open relationship of theirs got her going crazy ?
Riiight! I was all for her exposing them but she’s going too far now. Dang Mo!
True, she is mouthing the words but prior to her marrying this dude, Mo’Nique was pretty low profile. There are situations where managers act as PR people. In many cases, they’re the ventriloquist and their client is the puppet.
Since he’s been on the scene, the husband told her to lose weight, the husband says this, that, and the other. If he were a decent manager, he would steer her in a different direction and not one where she’s getting clowned for talking about stuff that happens years ago…repeatedly.
??? “get that lump checked…”
LOG OFF!!
I listened to what she had to say and I applaud her for taking a stand. She was blacklisted based upon lies that were told about her and all she is asking is for Tyler Perry to make it right again. Everyone is quick to try and silence her, and telling her to fall back. Why should she? She is simply exposing these Hollywood big wigs of the underhand dirty shit that they do, and their tactics has messed with her pockets so why should she just sit back and accept this??
I agree with you 100%
OMG…Even I have been wronged in the workplace!!! More than once. I don’t keep bringing it up year after year, after year, after year….get yo life Mo! Damn!!!! We heard you. Take a stand and make some shit happen on your own like everybody else.
I disagree. Her mouth has been dirty from day one, so no surprises here. She’s a comedian this is what they do. She wasn’t asking Tyler Perry for anything unreasonable, she just wanted to be paid fairly for her work. This is the problem with our people, I bet he wouldn’t have any problems paying some white person a fair wage. She had won an Academy award so this should of held some weight. He could of at least negotiated with her.
We will see…
Tyler won’t be able to make it right because even if he hires her, he can’t force other to do the same. Right now we don’t really know what Tyler said because Monique is doing all the talking. At the end of the day if a person doesn’t want to work with her, she can’t force them. They way she handled this will keep others from wanting to work with her and that will be her fault. Eartha Kitt was blackballed once because she insulted President Johnson’s wife (or something like that). Monique has been talking about this for a while and if things are changing, it might be time to hit the standup route.
She doesn’t and have plenty of money but she might be ok for a second. Often times when some Black actors win a Oscar, their movie careers take a nose dive.
You are so right she is also giving me a headache, so tired of hearing all this complaining…. It’s like she wants them to apologize but when they do she still complains!!
Don’t be offended, some people DO look like apes as well as many whites so relax
That’s what her hairy arse looks like to MEEEEE
She’s such a loser
She’s soooo happy to be HONORED with her HUSBAND who has helped destroy her career. This is how hard it is for a black woman to find a black man — SAD
You hit the nail on the head. Thank you. Why should she be quiet?
And people’s personal lives doesn’t always have to be on front stree
Exactly. If i were in Hollywood my personal life would be as confidential as possible. You know Tyler Perry’s biggest fan base is with the “black church” . Now you KNOW they wouldn’t support him if he confirmed his gayness. I love Tyler though for all he’s overcome.
I remember hearing she isnt even buying her home she is renting it…it cost alot to keep up with the look…she doesnt have it like that, thats why she is on this so hard, she needs to work
To me it’s OK for Monique to tall her truth
What would Jesus do? You do know Tyler Perry allegedly stole that girls saying. Trademarked it.. No need to boycott Tyler Perry”s movie. Monique is a real sister she say don’t boycott that man. But, all at the same time making fun of the caller was all the way wrong
They don’t owe her anything. There are tons of far more talented black actresses who need work.
Lol!!
Yes I hear you, and it’s a shame People can’t let the past go, and try to work with each other. I am reminded of a Sermon I heard a long time ago where the Pastor was preaching about the King who stood at his sons Grave, and looked down on his fallen Son, and said He knew the truth, but he acted like a fool. These Money people in Hollywood, Ect is always finding fault with each other, and it’s a dang shame. And People will learn sooner rather than later that it makes no different how much Money you have got , You will never be able to take it with you.
You NEVER know about someone’s life!!!
Can’t get mad at a man for a woman being a fool. This is from a woman!!!
Once you’re blacklisted in Hollywood….you’re done. White, black or other. I have to question why this keeps happening to Monique. Her BET show, her radio show, TV shows, and now movies. She’s been given every opportunity but she can’t stop KEEPING IT REAL! She needs to just focus on comedy and podcasting because there won’t be any real roles coming to her anytime soon. Waste of talent due to unchecked ghettoism.
Never love a man more than YOURSELF!!!
She’ll never work again. She’s a blabbermouth.
Let’s see another husband without a job as manager scratch off lottery ticket.
Mary J, Blige-Kendu
Sherry Shephard-Sal (still lying about him being in his 40’s)
Patti Labelle-and her husband
Fantasia-she was almost there when her husband tried to make her do an “All Lives Matter” rally until someone spoke to her real quick.
Monique better call Whoopie because Monique is paying her first husband who had no job alimony, she is getting ready for round 2. Is there a “Build a Broke Husband” workshop or Broke Man University around because I am wondering where are they getting these men. These men must have graduated at the top of their class because they are getting women with money not the broke one’s at Mickey D’s.
Exactly. You keep on walking. You don’t keep bad mouthing people for yearrrrssss. And those 3 people didn’t get where they got by bad mouthing people and accusing people of wrong doing.
Besides, I don’t and never have thought she was a funny woman.
Well, her appearance at the Apollo was a standup route. And it wasn’t funny. It was a rant. Nothing funny about her routine.
She needs to find another occupation.
What? I dont recall seeing that?
NOt just black actors, but white ones too…..Has anybody seen Mathew McCon in anything “great” recently? Or Helen Hunt (Oscar winner)….and it’s been awhile since we heard from Hillary Swank.
Monique looks rough up there. She didn’t even try to put on some lipstick or chap stick. She looks like she is blackballed from the industry.
I think Monique believes if she keeps talking people will come to her comedy show, thus more money. But I don’t think that’s whats happening.
This a lesson to the black youths. Never burn bridges. Don’t try to get even. Succeed in getting AHEAD. What good will come from attacking the people you need to hire you? Tuck away your pride and try to make amends. You need money and they have it. Think before you speak. I’ve learned that the hard way in corporate America.
Not to mention the Oprah situation was even longer than that. Plus Oprah was a part of “Precious” and she was cool with Oprah then, so why all of these years later does she need to “keep it real?”
This is what happens when you are married to the wrong person instead of going up she went down this husband of hers has no wisdom or any sense if he was a leader he would have lead his wife to water not the desert I guarantee if monique divorce him her career will be on the upside…she has the wrong man by her side
Yep. Out of all the actors and actresses in that movie, she is the only one that refused to do promo, complained about not getting enough money, and still complaining long after the movie is in the 5 dollar bin at Walmart.
Yes, they do have an open relationship and it has nothing to so with another woman in their bed. The more she opens her wallet where he can stick his hand in it, the longer he will stay.
Play the game or watch it get played ?
She wants Tyler to make it right again, but when he reached out to her, she burned him and put his business in the streets, so now why would he try to help her again when they can’t even have one simple conversation without it ending up on a podcast or on the blogs
You hit the nail on the head people better think about the consequences before trying to keep it real because like you said you will be homeless and broke
Hillary Swank was only paid $1500.00 for her Oscar-winning role.
She ain’t worried about no job her “boo” gonna take care of her. As a husband that is what he supposed to do.
Lol
Not even chap stick, LOL
True… I read that she was worth 13 million on celebrity net worth or something like that….
People talking about Monique won’t work again. This Woman is a Queen of Comedy she got jokes for days??. She had her own talk show, been in several movies, the Parkers are still on reruns, so she is good. She is trying to get the word out not to sell your soul for the entertainment life, because the Heavy Hitters ain’t bout shit. We attack instead of at least hearing a person out, and forming your own opinions. She fulfilled her contractual obligations for Precious, over time costs $. But y’all say this and that about her because she calling people out, y’all want her to be quiet??. That is why Donald Trump is President now. Stop following and lead??
According to celebrity net worth she’s supposed to be worth about 13 million….
???? good point
Dead@ unchecked ghettoism
LOLOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!
Monique bye and the glasses don’t make you the Malcolm X of the industry…you done mucked up now. Back to Bmore you go! Smdh
Yup. I also heard she was difficult on the set of her show…
I would love to hear a convo between Monique and Iyanla, lol
Monique has lost her damn mind, with her alike looking ass. She needs to fire and divorce that lazy, selfish husband of hers. He is her downfall.
Monique has a big heart and an even bigger mouth. If she is waiting on Lee Daniels and Oprah to admit to any wrongdoing or have some sort of dialogue with her she will be wait a long time….
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Iyanla is a netball her damn self.
She needs them. They don’t need her. Tyler was trying to be nice but she burned him with her unchecked ghettoism.
AWWWWWW I think it is soooooo cute for my man to stand up for me when he has no job. Can’t get no betta than that.
And she doesn’t owe him anything either. Not even her silence. So again. Why should fall back?
It’s hard out there , but we can not let the game chisel at our soul ..it’s a weakness …a form of flattery. Entertainers have been shucking and jiving for years just to be accepted by the elite, giving the people behind the scenes way more power than deserved, but all it long it was their power. It was the entertainers that we loved, adored, and came to see (not their production companies, or even their directors). Mo might have taken a hit financially, but when one door closes, another opens. She could write her own check, and use her profit to shoot her own films. She’s powerful enough to call her own shots. You can’t waste time waiting for the people who wrong you to say, “sorry.” They might take that along with a lot of other shit they did to their grave. Take the offense as a sign that it’s time to move on and/or move differently.
**passes out**???????
????
lol
lol
lol
lol so true
The broke ones who are at Mickey D’s are White. That’s who they REALLY aspire to date/marry after getting enough coins from the sistahs.
Self-control is not Mo’Nique’s strong suit. Used to be unchecked food consumption, now it’s unchecked ghettoism on steroids.
Cricket Right. I cringe when Black folks refer to other Blacks as some sort of primate. That term is used by too many racists. Let’s not emulate the racists.
What Black person is she standing up for by standing on stage telling folks to suck a dick? Surely not me, hell it ain’t even helping her! Let’s not try to cloak her selfish, unbridled ignorance behind a “Power to the People” facade. Her ghetto rant represents a lack of professionalism, self-control, dignity and wisdom. Period point blank.
That’s my favorite line from that movie. ?
The more she wags her tongue, the tighter the noose around her neck gets. No one wants to work with a loud-mouthed, loose cannon.
“Mo might have taken a hit financially, but when one door closes, another opens. She could write her own check, and use her profit to shoot her own films. She’s powerful enough to call her own shots.

Kudos!
So ??
This is what I was thinking, didn’t this happen years ago. Why is she airing all this out now? Obviously, she holds grudges and life is too short for all that. Sometimes ppl wrong you in life but that’s not an excuse for you to do wrong as revenge. When Moniques money dries up I wonder if her hubby will still be in her corner.
I never got her comedy either. Comedy is subjective though.
@Kieta – Good post! You are a critical thinker.
I’ve learned through observation that individuals with a NON-AFFIRMING MENTAL SELF-IMAGE and conditioned ‘slave mentality’ will accept being at the back of the bus and grant others’ permission to make them a doormat and punching bag and NEVER be accountable to SELF. This is unintelligent.
To put external authority over and above SELF-AUTHORITY is a SERIOUS violation that CAUSES repercussions and consequences.
Monique is so happy to have a “husband”… I hope that she doesn’t go through what Mary J. Blige did.
Gosh! You read my mind!!!! LOL!!!!
So true!!!!!
Yep, burnt her last bridge. -my guess is any wavering fans left are also hitting the exit door. How is any this helping her land a job in hollyweird or having any hiring agent wanting to deal that!??!
If another door opens or is opening, then she wouldn’t be desperately hating and seeking a jobs from hollyweird.
Instead, wouldn’t be showing the world her opened doors of opportunities and not sound like an angry-bird with negative energy and chip on the shoulder.
-in the end, she is burning bridges and will gain nothing but debt from being jobless.
Nailed it!!
You said exactly what I’ve been thinking. Lol he probably gave her a time limit to find a job or he’s going to bounce. She already allowed him to go out and bone other women but she said she wouldn’t creep outside of the marriage.
She tried going the independent route and it didn’t work out for THEM. She got a little too cocky when she won that Oscar. She need to go back to doing stand up comedy.
Yep
Bob got over on her. -then the truth about what he did and is capable of was revealed on another show.
How did Iyanla not see through him instead berating Sheree??
She might not be willing to sell her soul aka play the game with a wink, but it looks like that is the only way from her to get the contracts for gig$ and dig$ in hollyweird.
-she can’t have it both ways or play with fire and not expect to get burned.
Pretty soon she’ll be pretending to forget her undies while deliberately exposing herself too ‘for hollyweird spirits to enter.’ -and hooking up with females just like the others. ijs
What other job do her boo have?? lol she is his job
Mel B & others had to learn the hard way. -now it will co$t them even more to get that kind of man out of their lives. ijs
But, it will soon have the opposite effect. -people come for a good time, not that negative energy that have them leaving with weighted shoulders. smh
Love the ‘Build a Broke Husband.’ That should be a reality show.
Just more examples of foolish aka emotionally-needy females blinded by their emotions and deep issues to make better choices for themselves.
-then reality sets in where they can see as clear as day.
lol.
Yeah she stepped in it and tracked it into the house this time.
Iyanla wrote some books because of her own life dysfunction. Her books became popular do to Oprah’s book club. Iyanla has no therapeutic training. She has Juris Doctorate which shocks because she is just meh to me.
I don’t
think Monique and Sydney are wrong for sharing “their truth” about how
they believe she’s was treated. Let’s keep it real,
Oprah may have shown generosity to some of our people, but compared to what she’s done for caucasians, i.e. Dr. Phil, Nate
Berkus, Dr. Oz etc.(at least from what the general public has seen), she’s given more of them a come-up. Even other African Americans who were guests on her talk show were invariably
celebrities “before” they were invited to the show. I can think of not one African American that
she gave a “come-up” to as she did for caucasians. And
somehow I can believe the things Monique’s revealed about Tyler and Lee Daniels.
I don’t believe she would make all of this up–that’s never seemed to me to be Monique’s m.o. But some of the celebrities of our race are afraid to stan for Mo because they’re power-brokering hoping to either get in the circles of those they esteem are in power, or remain a part of such circles. And integrity over compromise is obviously not as important to them. Aren’t we always saying “Speak truth to power.” I suppose for many, that only applies to when it’s “convenient” to do so. Continue to do you Mo. (In the words of Dr. KIng, “Truth crushed to earth will rise again.”)
I know. -but that’s how it works in hollyweird. You can be anything as long as someone with clout sponsor or market you to the public. She paid her dues now it was time to give her gig$ and dig$. Mo’nique better take notes on how to play the game. lol
Well Monique ‘shares’ her husband so he really has no reason to leave until the money dries up.
I understand both sides. I don’t think Mo is wrong for speaking out, but she is going about it the wrong way. No these people aren’t “gods”, but they do have some power. They also have people above them that they have to answer to. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet, and deal with things until you can move up. It’s the same way at 9 to 5 jobs. Once you move up then depending on the position you can start calling shots as well. That’s life, and we all know life isn’t always fair. I do respect her for speaking out, but she’s in the game now so she needs to be very careful in how she carries herself.
Also, all that credit that she is giving her husband, the question is, while she is burning all her bridges in Hollywood, can Sydney pick up and pay the bills that they need to be paid. No he can not. She needs to go on a campaign to revamp her image. This could mean getting rid of her as her manager. He is alongside of her but for every brick she throw at her career he throws two. Even on a regular job, I am an RN and there are just some things that you can not say and think you will not burn bridges on hour job. It is called protocol and they are not following it.
Preach that honesty.
the game is officially over for her at this point.
I would too! But for some reason, I don’t think he would loose his fan base, especially with the black church
Is don’t watch the video, didn’t care…what happened between her and Oprah?
Exactly I bet Gabby wasn’t even paid a portion of what she was paid, and she was humbled and you don’t hear her mouth complaining. Gabby stays working, she exudes positive energy and is probably a joy to work with.
I understand that. I meant if she wants to keep her life.
I think he would. You know how some black church folk can be. Got an elephant in their living room but worried about the mouse in your house.
Now Mo’ definitely needs to tighten her game and shut her trap. I understand she’s putting them on blast because they did her wrong, she feels. I feel she should have negotiated her fees before signing the contract for the movie.
Now she’s acting like Aunt Viv and when did we last see Aunt Viv working (other than skin bleaching)?
I may not agree with how she expressed her anger but it sounds like they burned that bridge with her first. It’s just that they have money and power so people are willing to give them a pass and only look at her reaction to their actions. If 3 people with money did you dirty, would you be silent about it because you’re worried about “burning bridges ” or would you speak up on your own behalf because you feel like the damage had already been done and you want to tell your side?
I like what you wrote. This is very true. She’s still doing stand up, so hopefully that’s bringing in enough for her to turn things around for herself. I get it. I can’t stand people who do their dirt for all to see and then want to apologize secretly or say you’re playing the victim for calling them out for doing you dirty. I wouldn’t wait on an apology or for them to admit the truth either, if I were her. She already has fame and some money so hopefully she’ll be able to grow her brand from that. It’s not like she’s completely broke or starting from rock bottom without support. Things would look sort of hopeless if that were her situation but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Ohh I like the way you put that
I wouldn’t wait on their apology or convo at all, if I were her. They all have very big platforms and could have easily used them to publicly apologize to this woman if it were really sincere. They feel like they don’t need her, so they’ll never admit to being wrong about anything. That’s just how life is.
You’re putting them on Gods status. And how was he being nice by secretly apologizing? If he were sincere, he wouldn’t have a problem with saying it for all to hear. I wouldn’t want an apology like that either. Whatever God has for Monique, it will be provided. Maybe it wasn’t meant for them to be her blessing and especially if they’re blocking her money and blackballing her. Who wants to be friends with someone like that?! Maybe you do but I know I wouldn’t and I don’t care how much money they have.
lol @ her doing TD Jakes. CTFU. This is like a train wreck that will never end. Straight dead at him putting Madea on the phone. How old are these two? They haven’t learned yet that life ain’t fair. You always play to live to play another day. Wonder if “Daddy” going to be there when that money dries all the way up. For those who think this isn’t hurting her check out her IMDB page. NOTHING on the horizon. Not good.
Thanks??
I agree. He’s the one who got her into this mess. SMH.
She thinks she’s appealing to (and winning) in the court of public appeal. She should have hired a professional PR firm to help her clean up her image. Go do Broadway. Go do some TV movies. Pitch a series. Star in some indy pics for a reduced rate. Instead she’s throwing gasoline on the fire and that idiot she married is striking the matches. I hear her keep talking about Hattie McDaniel, Harriet Tubman, and even Taraji and other black female stars. She’s trying to position herself as the voice of downtrodden black women. Okay downtrodden black women everywhere will love her for that. But Hollywood still is not going to hire her. I agree 100% about her husband but she doesn’t see it…yet. One day she will.
When Oprah used to be on regular tv and had her own show, she had Monique’s family on and they discussed Monique’s brother admitting that he used to force himself on Monique when they were kids, and that her parents didn’t do anything. I think the parents put him out, but then let him move back in. During the time Oprah thought she was helping because even though Monique wasn’t on the stage at the show, Oprah spoke to her by satellite. NOW years later, Monique is saying that Oprah brought her family on the show when she didn’t want Oprah to. But Oprah called Monique by phone before booking the show. I think Oprah thought she was getting justice for Monique because her family didn’t protect her and the same thing happen to Oprah growing up. Oprah also helped out with the movie Precious which was way AFTER the Oprah Show and you can find pictures with her and Oprah hugging and stuff, so to come out more than 10 years later is kinda weird. But that is the backdrop and her issue with O.
Agreed.
Oh wow
I think Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry, and Oprah are not helping the black image in America through their movies.
She’s complaining about being blacklisted when 95% of the roles she’s played were nothing but coonery. I guess all of the Precious money ran out.
true, sometimes winning the Oscar can kill a career
Wal-Mart always needs greeters
She’s milked this long enough! Move on…
Monique did it to herself she should of have done the press junkets got her well deserve award…And collect her millions know she’s on a podcast complaining smh.
I disagree I just saw a movie Oprah was on. About a lady name Henrietta Lacks her story is amazing until this day Hela is what the scientists call her know smh check it out
Yea I see nothing but negativity when it comes to her “husband”..did anyone else notice the awkward Silence when she called him daddy in the beginning
The Precious money ran out a looooooog time ago. She was only paid $50k for that role.
They’re doing an excellent job. Better than Bravo and the other networks that display Black woman arguing, fighting and cussing (much like Mo’Nique) that Black people seem to love and SUPPORT.
Beverly Oprah’s OWN network also has an excellent show Queen Sugar returning for its second season late June.
From Academy Award winner with a bright future, to back doing stand up & a bootleg podcast she does from home it looks like. At some point she has to accept responsibility for her career going down the drain.
I think her husband is in her ear! she gone feel real stupid listening to him when he leaves after the lil money she got left dries up
You gotta know when to hold when to hold’em, know when to fold em! How old is Monique? Where is her self control? Never let them see you sweat!! The Chile roasted herself…..
Love it can’t wait for season 2
What she’s doing is the act of a bitter desperate woman.
Exactly..
Welllll.. black folks don’t have an economy. She better play the game or stfu. We ain’t STRONG financially.. they didn’t even have to let us in Hollywood.. its a tough pill to swallow we don’t have any allies but them.. africans have never come to our aide. Im good
Feminism
Its hard as hell for a black man to find a black woman as well..
She’s classless. Why is she still talking about this? She’s responsible for her career. Just stfu already. You’re washed up, get over it.
RIGHT! This goes beyond acting.
He’s just a man not God.
The same thing I was thinking, he seems to be a Diva! I can’t ride with her on this one, he’s most definitely in her ear.
She has that Baltimore attitude
Oooooh okay…?
Monique burned the bridge. She didn’t promote the movie nor did she thank the producers or director who put her in the position to win the Oscar
Obama got you all thinking you do but you angry birds don’t have d***s, she sounds dumb as hell. No wonder Oprah shut her dumb azz down
I like Mo.
She speaks way too loud for my taste but I like her honesty. Rare to find in people.
any excuse, but one question:
“How’s that working out for her?”
Now she’s saying she’s mad at Steve Harvey & Cheryl Underwood because they haven’t picked up the phone to call her. Said they keep saying they support her but she hasn’t heard a peep outta them directly.
The Hollywood blacklist—as the broader entertainment industry blacklist is generally known—was the practice of denying employment to screenwriters, actors, directors, musicians, and other American entertainment professionals during the mid-20th century because they were accused of having Communist ties or sympathies. Artists were barred from work on the basis of their alleged membership in or sympathy with the Communist Party USA or refusal to assist investigations into the party’s activities. Even during the period of its strictest enforcement, the late 1940s through the late 1950s, the blacklist was rarely made explicit or verifiable, but it directly damaged the careers of scores of individuals working in the film industry.
Because it’s already hard for “African American” actresses as it is….this BLACKLIST is REAL…..We already “Blacklisted” because of our skin color then when we start blacklisting ourselves….its “curtains”…so to say she needs to take responsibility is BOGUS…One thing Monique doesn’t come off to me is Stupid….She knows what is going on…..
http://www.thetalko.com/15-celebrities-that-have-been-blacklisted/
I swear, I just could not listen to this whole, stupid, hour long rant about his and her tired ass careers. I bet Tyler will never try to “reach out” again. Monique and Sid need to go home, sit down on the sofa, watch t.v., eat some mo’ food, and STFU!
it’s over! But I googled taraji net worth and Monique, according to google, net worth is doubled that of Tataji’s…hope this is not true or I will be sad.
What is the deal with women calling the men that they are sexually intimate with, “daddy?” What is the connection?
ah, that wasn’t a complement
