The Mo’Nique and Tyler Perry drama is still alive.
On Feb. 16, Mo’Nique was a guest on the show “Turnt Out with TS Madison,” where she explained her long history with Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey.
Throughout the show, she explains how she was blackballed by Perry and Winfrey because she didn’t want to promote the film Precious. Instead, Mo’Nique wanted to enjoy time with her family.
With that, she said there were reports that she was difficult to work with, which came from Perry and Winfrey. Mo’Nique says she never worked with Perry, because he joined the Precious film after they had finished shooting.
Mo’Nique then says that she recorded a phone conversation with her and Perry, during which he said what he did to her was wrong. Kevin Hart and Al Sharpton both heard the recording and contacted Perry, but he said he didn’t want to revisit the conversation.
Recently, Perry told a mutual friend that he would meet with Mo’Nique, but only on two conditions.
“Then he calls back and says I will meet with Mo’Nique but not with her husband and then she [would have] to apologize to me and Oprah Winfrey for saying we had anything to do with ruining her career,” Mo’Nique said on the show.
Mo’Nique did not confirm on the show whether she would meet with Perry.
