Last week, Mo'Nique blasted Oprah, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels during her standup show at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. New York. The moment instantly went viral and left everyone wanting more details as to why she went so hard on the three powerful Hollywood figures.
Lucky for us, we finally have some! Mo'Nique and her husband, Sidney Hicks, went live on Periscope over the weekend to explain their side of things. Apparently, Oprah played Mo'Nique by not letting the comedian know beforehand that some family members were going to be on her "Oprah Winfrey Show" years ago.
If you can recall, Oprah had an episode of her old talk show where two of Mo'Nique's brothers, her mother and her father were featured. One of the star's brothers molested her as a child and Oprah called Mo on the phone to see if it was OK if she invited him to speak to her on the show. Mo'Nique said that was fine because she wanted America to see how a molester looks. But, "The Parkers" actress had absolutely no idea that her parents and second brother were also going to be on there.
On the same phone call, the comedian explains how terrible her relationship with her mother was at that time. So, Oprah knew that having the mom on the show would be against Mo'Nique's wishes. The funny lady says that's why the journalist didn't tell her that was was coming on. This was the demise of their relationship. When Mo confronted Oprah about this, the Oscar award winner said that the talk show host completely played her not once, but twice.
As for Perry and Daniels, Mo'Nique and her husband said that they just followed Oprah's footsteps of the shadiness. They also spilled some tea about the messed up things Daniels used to say about Oprah and the shady things Perry used to say about Daniels. Messy, messy, messy.
