Mo’Nique’s Blackballing

It’s the drama that won’t quit. Mo’Nique has claimed for years that because she didn’t promote Precious in the way that the film’s producers wanted her to in 2009 during awards season (she felt she should be compensated to do so), she had been blackballed by Hollywood, including by Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels. While the reasoning didn’t make the most sense, it was clear that Mo hadn’t had many roles since her Oscar-winning turn in the critically-acclaimed film for this whole decade. For years, she has called out those Hollywood heavyweights, airing out a phone convo with Perry, publicly questioning Oprah’s character and doing battle with Lee Daniels, telling them all they could “suck my d–k if I had one.” The trio has remained relatively silent on the matter (not Daniels though, he told her to “shut up”), but Mo has remained steadfast in speaking on her grievances. She has continued to speak out against unfairness in Hollywood, most recently suing Netflix for racial discrimination for lowballing her on a deal for a comedy special.
