Mo’Nique Is Not Backing Down

Mo’Nique brought the heat during her appearance on the ‘Outlaws’ podcast on Tuesday, August 19. She has been vocal for years about her issues with Perry and Winfrey, but this time, she intensified her accusations, asserting that they have derailed her career for over a decade.

“One of the biggest entertainers in the world is Tyler Perry, and Tyler Perry told a lie on me, and that lie cost me 12 years of my career,” she told TS Madison.

Mo’Nique alleges that Perry spread rumors about her being “difficult” to work with, which resulted in significant financial losses. According to her, this also severely limited her opportunities in Hollywood. She is determined not to let this go unnoticed.

“Until he fixes it, I will not stop,” she asserted, drawing parallels between her situation and the years of silence surrounding Harvey Weinstein’s misconduct. Mo’Nique is unafraid to call out what she perceives as the “God complex” of Perry and Winfrey, insisting she will continue to speak her truth until they take responsibility.

Mo’Nique Outlines How to Resolve the Issue

When TS Madison inquired about what “fixing it” entails, Mo’Nique was quick to respond. She referenced Daniels, who publicly apologized to her on stage in 2022 for his part in their feud following the release of ‘Precious.’

“You see what Lee Daniels did? That man walked on that stage publicly. See, you publicly shamed me, so now you have to publicly fix it,” she stated.

Mo’Nique claims that the repercussions of Perry and Winfrey’s actions have cost her family “millions and millions and millions of dollars.” She demands a public apology to rectify the situation once and for all. According to her beliefs, the universe is watching, and she feels she is not alone in being wronged.

What Triggered the Feud?

So how did this all begin? As many of you may know, the feud traces back to 2009 with the film ‘Precious,’ where Mo’Nique won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Perry and Winfrey, who were executive producers alongside Lee Daniels, allegedly pressured Mo’Nique to promote the film at Cannes without additional compensation. Mo’Nique prioritized family time and noted that this request was not part of her contract, leading to her refusal.

This refusal resulted in her being labeled as “difficult,” a rumor she asserts was initiated by Perry, effectively blackballing her from Hollywood. Additionally, Mo’Nique accused Winfrey of betrayal when her estranged family members appeared on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ in 2010, including her brother who allegedly molested her as a child. She expressed feeling completely blindsided by this move. Furthermore, she emphasized how these actions not only harmed her career but also deeply affected her family. Even after all these years, she continues to await accountability from Perry and Winfrey.

It’s important to note that Winfrey has never publicly addressed Mo’Nique’s concerns. Similarly, Perry has not publicly commented on the allegations made against him by the Maryland native.
