Mo'Nique slams Tiffany Haddish, Oprah Winfrey and Kevin Hart in scathing podcast: 'You betrayed me'

Supporting winners are an odd bunch. I'm so ashamed of mine.

is she EVER going to get over this?

All I ever hear this woman do is complain and whine.

What on earth is she trying to accomplish? Will no one close to her tell her to shut up?

Yap yap yap. Shut up, bitch. Yes, I said BITCH because that’s all she ever does. Monique and that other one, Hoodraji Henson should go to coffee and BITCH at each other. Give the rest of the world a break already.

She sounds exhausting

It's The Oscar curse. Look at Cher's movie career after she won.

Of course Mo'Nique has made it more difficult for herself by running her mouth and complaining, just like Taraji P. Henson.

[quote] She sounds exhausting

There’s only ONE exhausting and exhausted fattie around here!

You can’t take away the fact she delivers one of the most deserving performances in Oscar history. Gurl is REAL!

That's not the Oscar curse. She's just a chip with a shoulder on it

Is it a great performance or did the director just put a photo of someone she hated in front of her and said "pretend this is Precious. Roll camera."

R9 y ah I'm sure it was a stretch for her to portray a great big repulsive cunt.

If she were white, she’d be Mel McCarthy.

Annoying. She doesn't have to get over it, but she could shut up about it.

In all these feuds, there's one common denominator.

It's like when a man's had seven divorces — honey, they can't ALL be bitches.

I was giving Tyler the titty, because the milk hadn’t dried up in my breastes. And I thought that that was for hygiene. l did what Oprah told me that I was supposed to do with my director, so that's what I did.

More whining.

She's a maladjusted twat whose gay husband blows too much smoke up her fat ass. Her victim complex seems to know no bounds.

R9 But Precious is a terrible actress. Don’t know how she got nominated for that role.

First of all, let me concur that she is absolutely tiresome with her bullshit and she’ll probably never have another bite at the prestige apple as a result.

Best Supporting Actress is my favorite Oscars category, as it is for many movie fags. Mo’nique is probably my favorite win of all time in the category. I vacillate some times, but she’s always among my top three favorites. That performance was so different than almost anything I’d seen before (apart from way off-Broadway type stuff). It was like they found some random woman who’s EBT card just got declined at the corner bodega and asked her to come talk to the camera like it was her parole officer.

Grievous heifertiti.

[quote]R17 “Mo’Nique Says ‘My Name Would Be Melissa McCarthy’ If ‘I Was a White Woman’: ‘Same Track Record,’ but ‘Opportunities Aren’t the Same’ in Hollywood”

What part of any of that is untrue?

I don't blame her for hating Oprah, who seems to love exploiting family drama:

Mo'Nique also again went into her years-old feud with Oprah Winfrey, who in 2010 invited members of Mo'Nique's estranged family on her talk show. "You betrayed me, sister," Mo'Nique said of Winfrey, adding, "Family is sacred, and we don't cross the line with family."

[quote] What part of any of that is untrue?

Melissa McCarthy doesn’t go around complaining about having to do publicity for her movies.

Melissa has been in some crap movies. She collects the paycheck, sucks it up and moves on.

Melissa also doesn’t have an Oscar.

She's going to need to get down to the welfare like her character in Precious if she's doesn't shut her trap.

It is rare when someone with an apostrophe in their first name isn’t a pain in the ass.

Seems she has more of a problem with black people than white people. Then, why should white people be the villains here?

I wasn’t aware Mo’nique was a comedic actress. What has she done that’s funny?

[quote] I wasn’t aware Mo’nique was a comedic actress. What has she done that’s funny?

She was on the sitcom The Parkers. Some thought that was funny.

[quote] It is rare when someone with an apostrophe in their first name isn’t a pain in the ass.

KROIKA!

Mo’nique doesn’t have nearly the proven comedic ability that Melissa has. Sorry.

Estranged family members, ongoing strife with your colleagues. Maybe you are the problem, sis.

Outta control BPD.

She legitimately looks like a pig in the photo at OP

Mo’nique’s Eldest Son, Shalon, Talks About Her Failings As His Mother

I loved me some Mo’nique back in the day, but this writhing and seething race baiting isn’t a good look. She needs to spend that Netflix settlement on better writers and a residency in Vegas.

I think we found the storyline for the next season of FEUD: "Mo'Nique vs Oprah, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart and Melissa McCarthy"

Niecey Nash can play Mo'Nique Octavia Spencer can play Oprah Eddie Murphy can play Kevin Hart Amy Shumer can play Melissa McCarthy

In her defense, Haddish, Hart and Oprah are all assholes

I’ll go ahead and say it without trying to say it like a Klan Granny-

Much of her struggle has nothing to do with skin color, but more to do with her people’s handling, the hard nosed attitude, and negotiation prowess. Her husband really shouldn’t be representing her, and she needs to pay for better, unbiased representation that can guide and reign her in as needed. This is the way.

The longer she isn’t “in” a current production, the cooler her currency as talent is. Her worthiness also has to do with what’s going on with media, YouTube, and streaming consolidation- this paradigm runs completely separately of anything she or her handlers can control.

If I were her, I would book a residency in Vegas, bankroll and record it myself, and sell it direct to media. I would also find great writers rather than keep spitting sour grapes on stage- maybe bury the hatchet with Tyler and have him invest.

What has she done lately? Many of these comedians have been on the circuit and practiced their craft for YEARS before getting a break. I’ve seen some of her standup, she’s hysterical but I would guess rusty and needs the practice in fron to f a crowd again. Acting needs to be set aside until she can get her vibe back.

Collaboration, taking a back seat, tucking the ego in a bit, and having an earnest tone of professionalism go a long way towards an actor or comedian’s career. There are also a lot of emerging stars willing to jump through hoops and do the work rather than rest on laurels that are decades old. She is waiting out her relevancy.

It’s also becoming incredibly difficult to joke and not offend anyone nowadays.

I just watched this first two episodes of this season of Curb, and it’s some of the most brilliant, clever writing I’ve seen specifically because of the gaslighting, and allusions of hysterical situations without hitting people over the head with it or being overly preachy or political.

There’s just no audience that will take her griping onstage for an hour.

In Mo'Nique's defense, Tiffany Haddish is a dumb, shady bitch.

[quote]She was on the sitcom The Parkers.

Which was a spin-off of Brandy's MOESHA.

To be fair, “The Parkers” series ended 2004, 20 years ago.

Moral of the story: Don’t hire or work with Monique.

“Skinny women are evil!”

When you have a problem with one person, it could be you are the issue or it could be them.

Whenever you have a problem with everyone you've met and have a list of people, the issue is you.

You're the common denominator in every drama, in every argument, in every failed relationship, in every job loss.

It's you, sis. You're the asshole.

Her husband allegedly took her to one of Will and Jada’s freaky parties. Not soon after they arrived, her husband hooked up with two women. Mo allegedly spent the evening alone in the den while everyone else was paired up with someone. Her husband must have a magical penis or something.

R39 I agree that Curb Your Enthusiasm navigates uncomfortable stereotypes adroitly. Wanda Sykes delivered or improvised so many quick, mean jabs at Larry’s character during her story arcs. She was great, and so is JB Smoove. His character Leon is a pleasure to watch, with all this disarming frankness and comical/cultural misconceptions (Irma Kostrosky asks him if he likes Little Women, he replies that he loves them, stacks them up to make one whole woman, “tap that a##”). His description of Curly from the Three Stooges (“that little fat motherfucker who run on the floor, like in circles, going ‘woo woo woo?’“) is so funny. Some of the plot devices go sideways or nowhere, but overall Curb Your Enthusiasm manages to navigate race, ableism, gender, faith, ageism, sexuality and others with a sort of brute frankness. You can do that, but it has to be funny, and that’s the really hard part.

Mo’Nique did some of that in her early stand-up comedy. But she has since become something pretty awful, all “friendly fire” at peers, mentors, allies. She is like a wounded porcupine, and those who try to be honest with her get the quills, like Tyler Perry.

I know Precious is an admired film and she was great in it. But that part of Mo’Nique’s identity has been eclipsed by all this graceless and vindictive self pity. It’s too bad, really. She is becoming an allegory.

Fat or thin, Mo’Nique really does have a great face. It’s so expressive. She also worked pretty hard as a stand up comedian. In one set (Biloxi?), she sweated and howled, and delivered some really dark, funny and subversive material. She is not without talent or looks. She has a few good scenes in an old comedy called Soul Plane, with Loni Love (in a bowl haircut). They play inattentive and self involved airline security personnel. Their scenes together are pretty funny. I wonder if she looks at this earlier material and considers it like a minstrel show.

The excellent comedienne Ellen Cleghorne was handed some undignified material on Saturday Night Live. As a kid I thought she was the funniest performer in many episodes. Looking back, I see some of that material has aged badly. I wonder what it would be like to have performed material you didn’t quite believe in to advance in your career, and then not be able to shift audience perceptions of you after. It would be easier with “fuck you” money like Eddie Murphy might have, but for female comedians (excluding Whoopi Goldberg), the economics is different.

Keep your mouth shut until you are in a financial/career position where you can open your mouth. Mo'Nique has no one to blame but herself and that husband.

I love her

Love Mo'Niique she is super talented and black actresses are underpaid. So she's angry, why is everyone so uncomfortable with that?

[quote]Love Mo'Niique she is super talented and black actresses are underpaid. So she's angry, why is everyone so uncomfortable with that?

I don't disagree about pay inequity, my issue is that I hate to see people fuck themselves over. Some fights don't have to be public fights.

Agree with the poster above - it's her stupid fucking hanger-on HUSBAND who has fucked over her career. When you hear her talk about him, it's pathetic. It's truly on the standard of 'do anything for a man' Billie Holiday songs.

I hate when actors compare themselves with others - I should have the career that X has and I don't because of - insert some prejudice here (fat, black, opinionated, etc.).

Notice anything about major stars? You don't find them saying shitty things about co-workers - EVER.

One last note - IMAGINE the drama if all of Monique's former co-workers started talking about the shitty stuff SHE did. Monique would nail herself to a fucking cross and film it.

She's a victim - of her own bad behavior, shitting PR, and stupid free-loading husband.

Wasn’t Tom Arnold like this on the set of Roseanne?

I have no rooting interest here. I think they’re all horrible. That being said, I’ll give Mo’ points for dissing Kevin Hart, who is the most annoying person on the planet.

Less'Nique, please!

I saw the Tiffany Haddish part and she did not bash her. She respectfully countered Haddish’s disresepct of her husband. And she did so without swearing or offensive language. And she is probably right. If Tiffany Haddish had a husband like hers perhaps she would not be riding around in these streets drunk, with multiple DUIs, putting everyone’s lives at risk.

I can only speak of the segment I saw.

R5 But you chose to listen. You chose to listen. It’s not like those 2 are culturally omnipresent like Queen Bey or Justin Bieber. So whose fault is it really? Some people…

So this is my 2 cents. I think Monique is actually right. Let’s not act like the industry isn’t full of assholes and fake liberals who don’t practice what they preach. However at this point it’s becoming her brand and that is not a good look. Let be and move on, if even for your mental health. I miss the fun and hilarious Monique of the early aughts. I miss this Monique.

Another Florence Ballard in the making. Waiting for unsettling demise story.

[quote]She respectfully countered Haddish’s disresepct of her husband.

Did she ask for reparations?

R61 ??????????????

When disrespecting happens, TeaCake, reparations are needed.

Ho, shave yo legs!

If this is true, there must have been hired extras (women). No way Jada was fucking Sidney (M's husband). Also, Sidney pings loud. If he was hooking up with women, his eyes were on the men.

R63 Back in the day people lived in caves, especially in cold climates. It was a protective survival method to combat harsh elements and predators. Some of these people continued to live in caves even as society advanced. These people were called trolls. Today in fully advance modern society there is no need for anyone to live in a cave unless mentally ill. Step out of the cave. Stop being a troll.

R65 He doesn’t ping to me. I think people are just saying that because he is an attractive man with a big chick. And he’s also slim. He just doesn’t ping to me.

The fact of the matter is Tiffany Haddish needs to stop coming for people and expecting them not to intelligently clap back. She also needs to learn how to conjugate her verbs.

R67, IMO, sidney is not attractive. His way of speaking is largely what pings. but if he doesn’t ping to you, that’s your legit experience. we all see thing differently.

At R67, Shakira looks terrible and cheap, there. Usually, I do think she us an attractive woman. WTH happened to her.

r69 she's not being regularly inseminated by Gerard Pique anymore.

Doesn’t shit ping about this man based on any traditional measure of masculinity.

I always side eye any guy who makes their living off of their wife's career. It never seems to end up well for the wife.

Says Othello/Tecake/BrickPollitt...the biggest troll this message board has ever seen.

R22, I think if Mo'Nique was nice and easy to work with she'd have a great career.

Something like Octavia Spencer's career.

Sidney is a chihuahua next to Monique, echoing everything she says. Calling him Daddy is embarrassing esp. if he is her manager. She’s always on camera in her bathrobe, looking unprofessional.

R73 I don’t troll. There were occasions I’ve stated some outlandish things being on and off that shit. And I apologize for my verbal abuse of Asians.

[quote]And I apologize for my verbal abuse of Asians.

OK, as long as you don't mess with Bai Ling!

R74 Nice and easy, I like my women nice and easy.

Team M’Nique. After Kat Williams’ appearance on Club Shay Shay, these accusations against Oprah, Tyler Perry, Kevin Hart and Hadish are starting to gain traction.

[quote] I don’t troll. —BrickPollitt

Teacak, you are the very definition of a troll.

R80 I hate to be a cunt again but why didn’t your mama swallow.

PeeCake's mom never swallowed so she could collect welfare checks!

R82 Haha, you are becoming more blatant with your racism. Even when my dad was a whole gangsta my mom always worked. And we have never ever been on welfare nor lived in the projects.

I love the realness. Keep it up cunt. Show them your true colors, no white sheets.

[quote] Haha, you are becoming more blatant with your racism.

The way you're becoming more blatant with your homophobia, as evidenced by your posts on other threads.

You garbage cunt.

What did I say that was homophobic. I’m gay/bisexual I can say that word.

A little Less'Nique would be fine with me, baby.

R59 showed nothing but a large woman dancing and then out of breath, trying to speak.

Can someone please show us a segment of M being funny?

I love Mo’nique and don’t understand all the hate she gets here. She’s ballsy and that she’s taken on the pinnacle of the black Hollywood power structure and she doesn’t have two fucks to give about it. Yes, she’s not necessarily championing herself, but she’s at least telling the truth and you wouldn’t hear as much about her talking about it if she weren’t being asked about it all the time. Of course it’s salacious anytime one celebrity speaks out about another so that just adds to the attention she gets for it. I don’t think she should have bitched so much about promoting precious or any other film and maybe should have kept some of that between her and the producers. But I have followed her career since around 2000 and she’s always been this way. As someone else up thread said, she’s hysterical in her stand-up. She’s raw, inappropriate, irreverent and outright funny. I do wish she would move on from some of the anger but I can’t help but love her and I want to cheer for her. She only says things that millions of others think and know already.

[quote]There’s just no audience that will take her griping onstage for an hour.

And yet, Trumpanzee morons listen to Trump for hours on end.

F&F the insane obsessed R89

R88, a black person calling out another black person is not risky. What would have been risky was calling out the the executives at Lionsgate by name. However they most likely were powerful white men. Even when she sued Netflix, she never specifically called out anyone by name.

R23, yet she recently said horrible things about her oldest son in comedy set this past weekend. What a hypocrite.
