NewsOne Now Rewind: Mo’Nique Uncensored 

me!!

Me

I am for the 1st time. I'm disgusted with our people for letting $$ corrupt their souls. Monique I'm proud of you, and your husband. Stand your ground 👊🏾

Me too...1st time

Watching this for the 1st time after watching Club Shay Shay lol. I'm like...Wow!!!

SHE REAL

she not selling her sold for the fame so now we see the Oscar mean nothing the big O down with the goat

Harvey didn't.

I did too 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

Curdelia Franklin 💪🏾💋

Mo'Nique won. Oprah lost. End of story.

i agree. i thought actors/actresses get an initial pay and then make more based on the success of the movie. it makes the most sense. but i guess not

Exactly

Monique is so talented. I wouldn't have done it. That is no money for a woman of her talent. I saw her at queens of comedy show in Houston, Texas

Lee pays lower wage$ than the movie studios. And he was her friend. WOW !!

ray curry it was an independent film

💯💯💯💯

she's clearly extremely intelligent 2 me.....

It is terrible. This is obviously her first go round with the Hollywood higher ups are. I hope that she gets what she wants. I know that she deserves it.

kkmichelle 314 th

Oh she is consistent, because she don't lie. No way. She tells it like it is and people can't handle it. People are not used to honesty, and it seems everyone has something to hide, so they do NOT like honesty. Funny thing is; she woulda never exposed anyone's "secrets" because she not built that way, not in her makeup. So their fear of her honesty is why they blackballed her. Just think of the wonderful things she could be doing...

Rose Zee being strong isn't getting her any movies deals, being strong isnt helping her voice be heard enough to make a difference, I say she close her mouth and do her job and fire her none experienced husband for destroying her career with diva demands, she should have played the game till she got to the top then start making demands like Oprah did.

What person turns down $500,000 dollars when they're not getting any other work? A dumbass, that's who.

Remy Lov a person who knows their self worth

Self worth does not pay the bills though. If we could all get paid on pride and self-worth, we'd be billionaires.

Remy Lov like she said she's not broke. We as brown ppl need to stand for something, instead of falling for any thing🤷‍♀️ we gotta start thinking better.

Joyce Moore Riiiiight!!!!!

Joyce Moore or fight for what’s rightt❗️

Then you become the bad guy

Joyce Moore yessss

Exactly

Carmen Hinton One you stand in your truth and know your worth nobody can tell you otherwise. When you know better you do better. That’s why people are afraid to speak out thinking if we talk too much things will be stripped away. It’s time for to be like Monique and Kaepernick.

👏👏👏💃🥂💅

Love you mo!

It's been 4 years ago that Mo'niek had this ao interviews. Has anyone seen her in anything in these last 4 years, coz I don't think so and she couldn't play Cookie like Taraji P. Henson anyway, it would've been a totally different character, that doesn't fit, not as Lucious wife or the look of a sexy woman like Cookie was. Having said this, it's a shame she d I didn't want to promote Precious outside the US, all expenses paid for, but not money for promotional purposes, she should've gone, coz now she seemed to think doing the movie itself is enough, which, in the real world isn't the case, esp if it wins prices like the Oscar and certainly Cannes, so I get why they didn't like that, but it is not in her contract? That's her excuse, that she didnt get paid for it to promote her own role and the movie, so what, if all expenses are paid and you're flown in a private plane. Her refusal to go is just unprofessional, imo. Also for the other actors, who did go!

The interviewer is not listening to exactly what Mo' is saying and receive her answes. He is chasing to ask the questions but not making follow-ups to her responses. My opinion is that no empathy is showed to her pain. He is not even looking at her body language instead he is awaiting her next question. It almost feels like the interviewer already has the answers to the questions before he even asked them... real sad

@@Boadicea6 For the small amount of money Monique was paid for doing Precious. I believe just doing the movie was enough. Monique did it as a favor to Lee Daniel's. Also the real reason she didn't go to promote the movie is because she had a few days off and chose to spend quality time with her children and husband at home which she had been looking forward to doing. How can anyone not respect her for wanting to spend time with her family and she has said this on many occasions and never changed her story. Also when you are traveling to promote a movie the actors get put in hotels for free and travel for free so it wasn't like they were doing her a favor by picking up the bill. I have been following Monique for sometime now and one thing Monique has done is she always tells the same story which is easy to do when your telling the truth. The money she got paid for Precious was laughable but like Monique said she did it as a favor. To make up for the low pay they should had offered her a percentage of the earnings but no one knew Precious was going to be a hit especially because it was a low budget movie. I love the fact Monique sticks to her words and Guns. Very few celebrities do that today and while she has done that friends have gone against her and bad mouthed her especially when she was feuding with Daniel's, Oprah and Tyler Perry thinking Monique was overreacting. When Lee Daniel's & Tyler Perry went public and apologized to Monique those same people who went against Monique didn't know where to put there faces at. So good for Monique for sticking to the truth cause it's not always worth playing the game. It's more important to have self respect and self worth. Monique is one hell of a strong woman and she isn't only doing it for herself she is also fighting for those who want to make it in this business especially those who are not a size 8 with a 27inch waist and long blonde hair. It's so much harder for the Monique's and Miss Sidibe's to make it as actresses. So I applaud and respect women like Monique because they got famous with just pure talent. Not because daddy had connections or because she looks slim and beautiful in every gown she puts on. Her talent got her to where she is today. I admire those so much more because they literally worked for it and earned it and most of all deserve it!!!

@@rickyparrilla2426 Girl, you're way too much involved in this, but to each their own. I didn't even know her b4 this movie came out and in the end, it only hurts her career since then. She could've had a career after that movie and all she did may help the next black actress not to make certain decisions, like wanting a piece of the proceeds, that's all in the contract you sign, so in the end it's good for the next black actor in such a position and not make the same mistakes she did, which took all the good of the movie's place through backlash, media gossip and wounded egos!! Thank God Ms. Sinibe did do her part promoting the movie and the roles she played since then, unlike Monique, who kinda killed her career. I'm not saying who's right or wrong, just what the end result turned out to be for the players in this and Perry and the others, who are all on their A Game. I'm white, so I'm more pragmatic, she's black and thought she was more important than the movies message, she probebly thought abt those who will come after her, although I doubt that's the 1st thing that she thought abt, it was all abt her and that's a big no no in the movie business. It's a cutthroat business and if you're no A list actor, you do have to do promotional work, esp Award shows. What was she thinking, she's no Oprah, who was just a producer after it was made and even she was there! I know her reasoning, but that's not good enough, not in this business and certainly not if you're not even that famous outside the US, but she didn't think abt that one either, that's egotistical imo.

Who did she expose HERSELF!!!! She know why the Monique show ended...and if she stop pointing the blame on others and just focus on herself...pick up and move on.....she’s done other movies for less money...it’s always confusing why she never wanted to accept the $50k?? And she is still singing the same blame song and we are in the year 2021...guess what everyone has moved on and she’s stuck...when she was to promote precious which initially had a low budget that SHE accepted willingly...she refused to promote it even after Oprah called her and offered her jet to take her to the movie premiers...she still refused and she went on to to drag people who were there to bring her up to the next phase in her career she BLEW it...Whoopi gave her a chance...after the show she tried to drag her from a personal conversation they had...soooo needless to say I would love for Monique to move on and reach her endeavors because she does great work...zeitgeist the blaming needs to stop and look within

@@vibiify plssss shut your lips. Your clearly ignorant to the underlying issue. You’ll probably never understand in your lifetime, the equality fight Mo’Nique has been going through while trying pursue her dreams and knowing her actual WORTH but having to make the most out of any opportunity. hoping one day that her work ethic/ Resume could catch up to her worth. Your pathetic writing a paragraph with no valid points. You make me sick

@@vibiify I wish I could “LIKE” your comment 1000 times because you hit the nail right on the head. You see the thing is Monique can appeal to these people who know nothing about the industry or what she’s NOT saying but we know better. Uncle RoRo’s razor sharp journalism didn’t disappoint either. He was on it! Had her stumbling a bit, it was almost like Roland was trying to teaching her something...to get her to arrive at her own mistakes but she missed that lesson. Smh.

@@bugatti-t878 if you were paying attention there were several valid points given in their paragraph but I she had managed to Lull you into believing she’s innocent in this. Po chile...

@@vibiify I can see wym, but you are leaving out a love of pretext. Yes people have her a chance to promote it, but she has explained many times why she didn’t.

I AGREE... BUT SHE IS NOT FUNNY.. maybe when she did STAND UP A LONG TIME AGO .. SHE WAS FUNNY BUT NOT NOW... and I am not saying I dont support her for standing up for herself and other women to come... BUT SHE IS NOT FUNNY... and WHAT EVER SHE THINKS SHE IS WORK>> THEN GO FOR IT AND STAND FOR THAT!! and she needs to cut the , brother and sister, and yes love and all MS sweet shit.. it does not go with her!!

TheUtubewatcher2010 ....you must be liking your own comment, because I definitely cannot see anyone else doing so.

U r right

@@TheUtubewatcher2010 you dont even know shit lmao

@@specialkyt he got a couple phones and computers lol.

IT IS THE SELF - MANAGEMENT WITH HUSBAND HER RIGHTFUL KNIGHT NEGOTIATING HER EQUITY WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE AND ARE GETTING IT THE TARGET IS TWO TOGETHER STANDING FOR NO LESS !!!

Monique stand strong! You will see yourself soar and those who would bear false witness against you will fall from grace and the whole world will see their disgrace. Let God vindicate you. I believe you.

Exactly. They hate a self confident woman .

Fact of life!!

Indeed.

People get upset when a person do not go along with the plan. So be it, you have to have intregrity, moral values, and truth. There are times in life you have to say no and stay with it.

I truly enjoyed this interview and I love Monique the actress Ang Monique the woman. She is truly one of the great one's. I can't believe that's all she got for precious, they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Me too

Me too this woman is unbelievable

They only mad because she told the truth the fact that they all reacted and got mad for being exposed as a fake a fraud and a uncle Tom sellout or a controlled puppet proves that she was right and is the realist woman and true comedian

All money ain't good money that is facts reality and honesty your Integrity and your dignity as a woman is more valuable and more important than money

Not even white ladies being Mary Poppins for free lol.

They are mad because she woke up. Realized that living is more important and put a real price tag on her talent. Didn't want to play the game they wanted to play.

Truth: is spilling out all over the world. Even those that promote real truth; are being shaken. When truth calls: listen & respond. Before A giant breaks your world down and leave you empty. Then when personal TRUTH is needed the Most. It will NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE for personal use. Be rich on the inside; more than the outside. Only God can make it POSSIBLE to have both riches in character & money! Its too much to balance and still be completely right.

😅😅😅😅

Amen Sista! 😍Thank You For That!😘

Well said👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Just Shawnee Oprah is not one to play with!! She can make people disappear

I felt this

100000000000%

Pay. The woman now

EXACTLY

Dope dope is always black actresses not getting what they need or fairly paid will be stampeding the promised land

Trophygyrl ....you got that right! His past has come forward to haunt him. KARMA!

The problem is CONTROL. When people cannot control us, they LIE about us. 🐓😇☮️💕🙏🎶

Weslee you haven't seen much if this is the best you ever seen.

Weslee The truth never changes

Weslee best interview

Excatly She is telling the truth...

Weslee I was just thinking the same thing They killing this lady right now And I'm still trying to figure out What is wrong with what shes saying??? She's right 100%

Savon Lee that ending almost brought me to tears 🙌🏽😢

I felt that too!

Intelligent woman.

I agree with her and understand what she's saying, they expect her to work for free!! She's an academy award winning actress!! It's sad how black people treat each other! Shameful ! Daniel's and the others ( and you know who I'm talking about) are the same old Back Network and it makes them worse than the white man's GAME !!!🤬 The power has gone to their head and they use it to hurt other actors, instead of lifting them up!! STOP IT!!🤯🤯

Yeah, but because of the demons within & external - she’s messing up. She going against herself, because she’s not see what she needs to see.

Now she gotta flip it to A blessing. Surely the interviewers and big wigs want drama from black folks especially. Being dramatic actress on film or stage we tend to be triple threats and over what's necessary to be recognized as talent. People grow bored if in real life,if a lot aint happening their too. This is a sad way to support a person demanding they lose privacy.

Simmer down Nancy Ding Bat 😒

I am with you.

HELL SHE SMASHED THAT DIDINT SHE OMW SHE WAS KILLING IT

KBFT...Which black women? Actresses & comediennes, nurses, teachers, lawyers & attorneys, blue collar workers, retail & food service workers, stay at home moms, those in "inter-racial" pairings, the homeless, or regular, non-descript, general ladies just going about their business of making an honest living--without the benefit of a public platform? She's not the sole-nor most important mouthpiece, but rather one, serving one perspective. This is the mistake of thinking she speaks solely for "black women". How about as one voice on behalf of women, in general?

Oh, I see her and respect her!!!! Keep doing your thing Mo!

@@knbsd3876 White women have enough, and white women in general, do NOTHING for Black women. What a vile perspective you have!

K Brown she’s referring to black women in the entertainment industry and the inequality that exists for women of colour. She is paving the way for future actresses (black and white) to push for pay equality.

Better pay attention!

You're right it definitely has costed her. Monique had every right to say no to promoting precious without being paid to do so but it cost her. She did nothing wrong by saying no because that was her right to make that choice. But, Actors are not paid to promote movies. So by her saying no they viewed her as being uncooperative and being difficult to work with. That's how they view the situation and they have a right to feel that way and to not want to use her on any future projects. So she can't say they are wrong for that.

She was asked to take a pay cut to do the movie and she would be taken care of.

@@cbeyond1957 see my comment. Then afterwards didn't take of her and expected more without taking care of which would have covered that promotion

Thumbs up Monique

dabby dabby Oprah is a silent killer

@@maribelru2011 Yes. A deceitful snake.

😂 well I am!

Me

vly703 why? It was a low budget film with no real expectations for being successful

SteveLovesGOD True But did she gross much afterwards?

@Jordan Sharpe, Hun, If you are going to call someone stupid please do so within the form of a properly constructed sentence. Your post should have looked as such: "vly703 You're stupid and don't know the business. When she signed on, it was a low budget film that no one thought would be that good. They never expected that"

Mo is right Oprah,tyler,,Lee Daniels there's a saying niggas will be niggas no matter how rich and powerful they are knowing blacks already have it hard shame on all of you and a little bit of advice Oprah Winfrey your not god at the end of the day your still one of us black people.

Damn right.

10000000000000%

Coming back to this interview adds clarity. Monique's issue was originally with Mr. Lee Daniels. He was upset she didn't mention him at the Oscars. Danny Strong said she didn't receive the offers for the Bulter and Cookie. Lion's gate told Monique her business was with Lee Daniels and she had a 5% back end deal with Precious with residuals netting $15k. Lee called Monique demanding, insinuated she was difficult to work with and said she was blackballed. Monique said she didn't buy into the black balled because the offers and scripts never stopped coming in. The offers never reached $1M and never made sense based on her winning the award. She only mentions Tyler with what she should make after awards season. She only mentions Oprah after Lee called her to tell her Oprah signed on the Bulter and she gave her blessings cause she knew how much the project meant to Lee. Tyler admitted his own difficulty with Monique offered $450k and admitted she didn't have to do international press (contractually) in his recording. Oprah has never addressed it. The Bafta speech by Lee that Monique was mad at them was another factor. Lee had apologized. She told the Oscars they needed to fly her team out to give an Oscar the following year! They declined. This was never about Tyler and Oprah. Their names keeps the story alive tho. I'm glad Katt afforded her the opportunity to join him on tour!

I have always loved monique we need more people like her in our Black race a less people like OPRAH.

@@charlenealexander4811 we got nothing but people like monique. Those like oprah learn to act evolved from them. For fun or pay they emulate "this". This is being "real". Black,honest,talented,intelligent...Real". Right,equal, and, learned,if you want a acronym lol.

Mr Nashville Talks Show with Larry Ferguson Monique is right . come on Grammy doesn't equal 500,000 but any shumer an young woman gets 20,000,000 This is racism

Mr Nashville Talks Show with Larry Ferguson Yip agreed.

Mr Nashville Talks Show with Larry Ferguson Meryl Streep called Harvey Wienstein her God

THANSEER Abbas yeah that was sick. Mo’Nique is more a Bette Davis, Jessica Lange style that’s so intense you feel like you’re in the film. Meryl is good with replicating. But Weinstein I guess kept Meryl working long past an actress’s prime age in Hollywood. Oprah is getting roles now and she was pretty good in the Butler but she hasn’t brought it since Color Purple, Women Of Brewster Place. I’m not a fan of Oprah’s especially after she did Mo wrong.

Mr Nashville Talks Show with Larry Ferguson love MO

Keneisha Thomas She used to have a talk show

It makes me wonder if there may have been a little fear she could possibly have eclipsed Oprah 🤔

She had a talk show before, it was a good one too!!

Black women the voice of comfort in old slavery times they put everyone to sleep and generally got us all right(Doctor, Herbalist,Therapist, leader, lawyer...). This includes the slave owning family.

@@hatonx3922 Sooo agree! There is something so soulful that it soothes and comforts. Chiiiiild ;)

That’s our problem, we give white people the benefit of the doubt all the time, but when it comes to our own, we can’t wait to pull us down. Slavery still at work, you asleep, you just don’t see it!

SHE ALWAYS HAS BEEN STRAIGHT UP

I felt that

Life Giver ASE

Obese not obest

Life Giver Yes she does!!!!

An Lynn I'm rooting for Monica but Hollywood is evil and there's too much powerful people so Lee Daniels is right you do have to play the game I feel that it's great that she's exposing them but she won't win your end up like Alex Jones she just going to have to work for herself and make her own platform and just forget about other brands to make a bigger than what she is. She looks beautiful

An Lynn def not she’s ridiculous

You may think she is ridiculous but that does not take away from her worth, it does not take away from her talent and it does not take away from the fact that she represents many black women in Hollywood that are not getting their dues. This is not a new thing. This goes back to Hattie and Eartha and will affect newer generations to come. This affects you as well. See you are probably not making as much as your white counterpart and don't even realize it. If you were a loyal negro you wouldn't have said a word. Cause you don't have to like her to respect her.

Common Sense why are sitting at the women's table, talking it up like the rest of us? Put my cup of tea down and please go build something!

An Lynn Oh i'm sorry I didn't know that THIS is a women's table, I thought this was a public website called RU-vid. Also you said "go build something" That was kinda strange because you assuming that I haven't built anything, I already built that's why I can be on RU-vid in the morning talking to idiots.

Vegas Mitchell I agree black moguls portray a life style that appears to be irresponsible , the elephant in the room is this why do we have to be held at a greater accountability to other counterparts that are in the same lane there was a show called Life Styles of the Rich and Famous that use to come on and it showed white entertainers living a extravagant life style why is it when it's our turn we have to be on a leech with everything it's a double edge sword . Blacks don't get the same as there white counterparts .

im from maryland. her baltimore accent is so pronounced. i love it. makes me proud to be a baltimorean.

I'm surely with HER

I'm here

Carretta Roberts 💯

So you all said youre with her........now what????

Carretta Roberts she is fake as fuck bro, everything about her is fake and off-putting. She is arrogant, conceited and an entitled narcissist. Perfect example is the obesity thing, she couldn't even admit that she shamed women for being "slim" (healthy) and then turned around and SLIMMED down because her husband was concerned about her HEALTH; why? Because that would make her a hypocrite which she IS. Idk if she was actually blackballed (because everything out of her mouth is a lie), but if she did for the reasons they claimed? I completely agree, she should be blackballed Btw her account of her demands is a proven lie, she is outright lying and trying to spin the story to exonerate her rediculous attitude.

Sandra Douglas right she should try Bollywood

@@frog5104 lol😂😂😂😂

Sandra Douglas no they not

That's true most people ain't ready for Real not phony people.

This is an old interview....

This is 3 years old. Martin and Monique are actually in a public argument now.

amen.

Same!! She so funny and such an amazing comedian and actress 👏

Its Not about being a BLACK strong woman. Its about being a STRONG WOMAN PERIOD

@@SM-gq1vj WE AGREE WITH SHE A STRONG WOMAN OLOR ISNT A ISSUE IN SOME CASES BE REAL

I love Monique the question I have can anyone tell me why she is coming at Roland now I recently seen a Twitter conversation between the two and I just didn't understand.

Dreamm It says a lot about Roland.

Shanette Johnson oh really? Urgh! I thought they were cool 😞

ROLAND KNOWS SHE DESERVE HER RIGHTS AND RESPECT BACK SHE DESERVES IT

1

Right

GeminiLuv'sHard ABSOLUTELY!!! Roland did an EXCELLENT job!

GeminiLuv'sHard

Yep and I despise that shit!

And I believe Monique has been in the game longer than Lee... she deserves some kind of respect. How long does she have to play these "games."

They hate that she's a heterosexual woman, black woman with a black husband who is not gay!

Also she says nothing but great things about Black Hollywood. Why doesn’t Black Hollywood support her back.

Thank You Geraldine For Saying That!😘

geraldine pearson I agreed

Andre Brown Jr. Exactly, I agree she really would have , but she want to reraise Holluwood and get them to doing things her way , to accommodate her. She know she wasn't big enough to do that yet...fire ur hubby monique

And I would watch because of her

She sure would had!

@@foxxy66 Wrong!

Thats what i said taraji is not a good actor but she was ok in baby boy lol!

She is delusional with her open marriage/manager bs..come on lady do you have no friends to tell you??

ty mo I agree. That is exactly what she is doing. Black women need to appreciate what she is doing.

ty mo we need to be protesting Netflix because they keep raising the doggon price!!

Uhh, shes not paving a way for anybody, not even herself. She's complaining about rich people problems. How many black women will be in a position to turn their noses up at 500k for 90 minutes of work?

Notthefather Why are you comparing everyday women to female entertainers. That shouldn't even be apart of the discussion because it is irrelevent to what is going on in the entertainment industry. SMH.

Lee Daniels, Oprah, and Tyler Perry knew they did her wrong. I agree with everything else you said.

Free 2bMe hallelujah preach

TheJw1358 you right you right

Free 2bMe That's not true. EVERY interview LD has a different response. The bottom line is he HAS NEVER quoted he and MO conversations. MO tells the same thing and I believe her. Everyone is missing the point here. What she is doing is NO DIFFERENT than any other person pass or present fighting for equality. THEY approached her. It's one thing when you CHOOSE to take less because you are helping someone. Hell she did the promo in the states for Precious. Then you want her to do turn around and do promo internationally at her own expense. I don't blame her. This is some power bull 💩. But what goes around has to come back around. That 500K offer was insulting and its only a ploy for them to gain ALL the money they loss over Kevin Spacey. Man please everyone outraged behind MO and going against her with these HOLLYWEIRD people don't give two 💩's about NOBODY only what makes the more rich. Y'all stay blind. #standingwithMO
