“That’s why when people say, ‘Mo’Nique, when are you going to stop with Tyler and Oprah?’ I’m not. Just so we clear, I’m not,” she declared during the livestream. She’s standing firm, and we’re listening.
Mo’Nique went deeper, explaining that this pressure to stay silent is a reflection of generational trauma within our community. “That dates all the way back to slavery. Just don’t say nothing. Just keep moving on. And that’s why we continue to be treated the way that we get treated,” she shared with her fans. It’s a powerful point about breaking cycles.
Despite facing criticism, Mo’Nique is clear that her stance isn’t fueled by hate or bitterness. It’s about truth and accountability. “I love my brother and sister or my sister and sister. Whatever day Tyler chooses, whichever way he goes, I love all of them. However, wrong is wrong and right is right.” She’s reminding us that love and holding people accountable can coexist.
This decade-plus feud with Perry and Winfrey stems back to her Oscar-winning role in *Precious* (2010). Mo’Nique has consistently stated that she was blackballed after refusing to promote the film without proper compensation. And, heartbreakingly, she’s also spoken about the deep pain caused by Oprah featuring her estranged family on her talk show — including her brother, who confessed to molesting her. That’s a lot to process, and her feelings are valid.
While Mo’Nique has since made peace with director Lee Daniels, she remains unwavering in her commitment to hold Perry and Winfrey accountable. She let her fans know she has no plans to stop speaking out anytime soon. We’re here for her journey and her truth.
