Mo’Nique Slams Oprah, Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry

Mo’Nique lashed out at Hollywood heavyweights she believed blackballed her from show business.

Mo’Nique, 49, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of an abusive mother in “Precious,” claims Lee Daniels blocked her from getting work.

“What is that black d—k connected to? That black man? So no, I was not blackballed. I was white-balled by some black d—ks who have no balls,” the comedian fumed onstage at the Apollo Theater on Saturday.

“Thank you, Mr. Lee Daniels. Thank you, Mr. Tyler Perry. Thank you, Ms. Oprah Winfrey,” she continued. “I know they like to say, ‘Mo’Nique, you talk too motherf—kin’ much.’ It would kill me not to say the real s—t … You are not paying me equally. You are not treating me fairly, so you can suck my d—k if I had one.”

It’s the first time Mo’Nique fingered Perry and Winfrey in blackballing allegations, though she’s spoken about her beef with Daniels, 57, previously.

“I got a phone call from Lee Daniels maybe six or seven months ago, and he said to me, ‘Mo’Nique, you’ve been blackballed,’” she recalled to The Hollywood Reporter in February 2015. “And I said, ‘I’ve been blackballed? Why have I been blackballed?’ And he said, ‘Because you didn’t play the game.'”

“There have been people that have said, ‘Mo’Nique, she can be difficult.’ They could probably be right,” she admitted. “One of the networks said to [Daniels] that I was ‘really difficult to work with.’ And I said, ‘Well, that’s funny, because I’ve never even worked with them, but OK.’”

She added, “I was offered the role in ‘The Butler’ that Oprah Winfrey played. I was also approached by ‘Empire’ to be on ‘Empire.’ And I was also offered the role as Richard Pryor’s grandmother [in a new biopic about the late comedian]. Each of those things that [Daniels] offered me was taken off the table. They all just went away. But that’s just part of the business, you know? I can’t be upset at anybody, ’cause life is too good. It’s just what it is.”

Daniels declined to comment on her onstage rant, but told THR in 2015, “Mo’Nique is a creative force to be reckoned with. Her demands through ‘Precious’ were not always in line with the campaign. This soured her relationship with the Hollywood community. I consider her a friend. I have and will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on. However, the consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way with these roles.”
