Mo’Nique is an established actress and comedian. After the height of her acting career, with accolades from Precious and Bessie, we did not see much of her. About four years ago Mo’ came out to tell her story, starting with Empire.

In January of this year, Mo’ focused on her losses with Netflix. She alleged Netflix offered her $500,000, while Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart received deals for $20 million and Amy Schumer received a $13 million deal. Mo’ threatened to sue Netflix for color and gender bias, and requested support in the form a boycott against Netflix.

A Jawn Murrray came out a week later and claimed that Mo’ was actually offered $3 million.

Early February Mo’s tour took a detour as she appeared on Khia And TS Madison’s show The Queens Court. Many pointed out how messy it was of Mo’ to keep livestreaming when TS was breaking down.

Later that same February, Mo’ continued her Netflix ‘inequality pay’ tour, appearing on the View. Most noticeably, Mo’ appeared on The Breakfast Club and chastised Charlemagne the God, after he gave her Donkey of the Day.

Late June, Mo’ released private phone conversations with Tyler Perry.

Late July, Mo’ came out in support of Roseanne Barr, after Barr’s racial tirade, claiming “My SISTER came on my BET show”. This was the incident that led many to end their support for Mo’nique.
