We dont hear enough from Marsha. She was great in this interview.
dude..she's not the only black woman in hollywood...if she was as toxic as you all claim she wouldn't have made it as far as she did or had as many opportunities as shes had. Popular tv show...talk show..movies, awards, Since when is being heavy set, dark skin, female AND toxic personality a winning combination for success in american society??
lets tally up so far:
She was right about the Precious bullshit...lee daniels confirmed.
She was right about netflix.... they just did a deal for a movie AND stand up special
She got Steve Harvey to expose his own shallowness on his own talk show
DL kinda sorta admitted on the air that he MAY have said shit to cause her to feel some type of way about him.
she stands by her husband...she's even submissive to her man in that wifely way bgol actually demands black women do.
thru every single issue she stood her ground and for herself and most of you cats were all FUCK THAT FAT BITCH SHE NEEDS TO STFU....
but you dont wish her ill will
just can't win with you cats

Bruh just stop, because you'll never win against someone who wears this to bed

Before you try to call someone out, maybe proofread your corny ass statement first.

you mad cuz home girl won every point she made..
Good for Monique..i dont find her funny but get your money
@geechiedan told us that she was coming back, defended her like he was related to her..good stuff

I just like rooting for the underdog.
she won every one of her points and peeps was upset about that...but we support black women
Well okay. I guess I'll start to watch it because nobody can pass a car wreck without looking. But I've never found her funny and think her whole mammy/irritated big black woman schtick is offensive. But we'll see.

The Reading is actually a pretty good movie as well
The budget is on some A24/ Blumhouse level, but good
Sounds like it's going to be more of a vent/therapy session than anything.
Like chappelle hasn't done that??
she ain't no chappelle
Chappelle's never won an Oscar either
in fact he did the same thing she did...make a public appeal about his displeasure with the terms of his contract with Netflix and hbo..and the community supported him...she did the same thing and the community told her to STFU and take whatever they offered her.2 black comedians...making the appeal to thier public...2 different responses from thier public. And BOTH were right in their issue but the black man gets celebrated and the black woman still gets side eyed and scorn.

To be fair tho, Monique had a history (about 10 years) of attacking people who were helping her (Lee Daniels, Tyler, Oprah etc....), being "a diva"/ difficult on set and having a chip on her shoulder in regards to her career vs her male counterparts.......leading up to her Netflix fight.
Dave's only other public issue was his initial fall out with Comedy Central / the $50 million dress skit.....
So 2 public beefs in 15 years vs someone who appeared to be beefing with numerous people/ companies over what the public perceived as minor or self-inflicted issues.....
Yeah her fight with Netflix was justified, but by that point she had cried wolf too much
yeah... glad you typed this..cause i ain't got the energy to argue with stans LOL
Chapelle show ended because he was burnt out not some dress skit.
Not sure if serious....
Post a link where Dave said he gave up 50 million because he did not want to wear a dress.
So let's say your point is correct.....
Does that now invalidate or negate the overall point I was originally making?
dude...you clearly didn't see the shit go down when it was happening... All those people you mentioned DIDN'T help her at all...Lee Daniels froze like a deer in the headlights..Tyler Perry said directly to her over the phone that she was right then he too clammed up when the cac/jewish execs black balled her...and he was SUPPOSED TO have some juice on that project as exec producer himself. And Oprah played her dirty when she invited Mo's dysfunctional family on her show without giving her a heads up about it.
Both Daniels and Perry would apologize for the shit they either did or didn't do in regards to her career after Precious. And Netflix came around themselves.
So NONE of them niggas was helping her at that time but she did what a black person was supposed to do...she stood on her points and never wavered.
and cats STILL hate on her for it
because ultimately her OWN people wantedher to SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TAKE IT and she didnt. Thats Black Unity for you.
Yea it was not over a dress. You are confusing that with the movie Blue Streak when they asked him to wear a dress and he refused.
My issue isn't with the dress point.....OK, even if I'm wrong about that detail, does it negate the overall point?

She spent years defaming, talking down to and bad mouthing people that helped her previously because of whatever reasons she had.....
Maybe they just didn't fuck with her like that.
But, yeah some people operate under the mindset self-preservation at all costs. Oprah had deals/partnerships with some of the executives Mo had issues with......welp can't cut my nose off to spite my face.
Lee was trying to follow in the footsteps of Oprah and Tyler so if they're out......
Tyler, on his way to Billionaire status, buying part of an old military base and converting it to the largest black owned production set/lot and then becoming the "boss" he is today.
She earned a reputation for being hell on sets after Precious, "difficult to work with," bringing up her fights during comedy shows that fans felt were distracting and killing the vibes.....
When you have public beefs with 3 well known black celebrities, bad comedy shows, beefs with companies, and a stank rep on set, it's not hard for people to connect the dots and say it all leads back to you......
I can't speak for all black people. I just wanted her to fight her battle without dragging other people in it...
"Tyler never did this, Lee was this, D.L. knows I'm better than....."
None of that is necessary if your issue is with Netflix low balling you.
Chappelle's never won an Oscar either
2 black comedians...making the appeal to thier public...2 different responses from thier public. And BOTH were right in their issue but the black man gets celebrated and the black woman still gets side eyed and scorn.
You fail to mention the difference between the two is that Dave is funny. Monique is not.
And since they are primarily comedians that makes all the difference.
Yes, she "won" an Oscar but we all know how random those things are.
dude Mo's career is over 2 decades long and other than precious when have you ever heard of her being difficult or toxic on any OTHER project??? seriously??
Her beef was with ONE company on ONE project. She did her contractual job and refused to do more and for that they branded her "difficult" and YOU believed that bullshit because YOU don't care for her work or personality.
If she was as HORRIBLE as literally EVERYONE jumped on that cac/jew driven bandwagon....then wheres the OTHER people who could corroborate that over the last 25 YEARS??? There was no dogpile of people coming out to agree how toxic she was??
Once one person complained about how mean and cold Ellen DeGeneres people were and by connection SHE was....at least 5 other came out to agree.
I said this before....
Dude we live in an era of the PILE-ON...meaning when someone tells a story about some bad shit a person did...then 40 other people come out the woodwork and make their claims about shit that happened decades ago...ask cosby and kevin spacey and weinstein about the pile on... hell it happened to ELLEN DEGENEROUS... the story broke on her that she was a cold bitch and her staff were a bunch of assholes to everyone at the studio the show shoots in.... and within a couple of weeks MORE people came out even other CELEBRITIES..
- Stories about the legendary entertainer Ellen DeGeneres being "notoriously one of the meanest people alive" are cropping up online thanks to a viral Twitter thread.
- A comedian named Kevin T. Porter said he would exchange anecdotes about DeGeneres being rude for donations to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and he got nearly 2,000 responses.
- The beauty YouTuber Nikkie de Jager also recently shared her negative experience as a guest on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," and some celebrities have made it clear they think DeGeneres is mean.
- As stories about DeGeneres piled up, so did accusations of a toxic workplace at her show that included allegations of sexual misconduct.
^^^^^^ thats what I'm talking about ^^^^^^^
Who else complained about monique??? Not Countess Vaughn who worked with her on the Parkers...not Vivica Fox not Gabrielle Union not Martin Lawrence etc etc the list goes on. In fact not even the other actors on precious said she was problem during filming. When the initial "rumor" went out after precious there was plenty of opportunity for others to jump in and give validity to it...that didn't happen. Hell even in DL's OWN recollection of past dealings with her he said he had a good time and she was great to interact with. And even the time period after precious and between this one incident wit DL..... she's worked and there wasn't a groundswell of complaints to any significant degree.
NO ONE HAS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF HER CAREER COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT WOMAN. Except ONE TIME...and who did the complaining??? Nameless Executive CRACKASS CRACKAS who didnt like that a black woman said NO to them. And YOU ALL SIDE WITH THEM AND REPEAT THIER NARRATIVE???
as far as Daniels, TP and DL...I said this before as well:
for the people saying she burning bridges....the bridge was abandoned and therefore useless...
in moniques case.. I believe the turning point in her career and life was precious...what should have been her greatest triumph ended being bitter-sweet becuz literally all the people who could have spoke up for her didn;t and add insult to abandonment they turned around and used their platform to speak on her situation and never once said (as far as I can tell) the rumors are NOT true. DL spoke on it on his radio show and essentially just gossiped about with other comedians.
Steve Harvey brought her on his show...NEVER SAID THE RUMORS WERENT TRUE then tried to lecture her about how to behave. Going so far as to say your personal integrity comes a distant second to gettin money. And lets not forget the shit between him and Bernie Mac and how Bernie felt he tried to burn him.
So who is monique really burning bridges with? She won major awards off the strength of HER talent. Her stand up career is parallel in length and time-in to steve and DL...And no ones ever mentioned how they helped her or gave her an opportunity early on....and the ONE TIME they could have helped her they chose to NOT and both have shown to be fake friends who smile in your face but when the shit goes down they step to the side.
Oprah, TP and Lee Daniels showed that don't have any real juice in hollywood cuz when cacs speak they ducked themselves and theyre possibly two-faced too....
Sooo burning those bridges doesn't really mean much does it?? Monique knows she's out here by herself so she may as well do it her way... and she won
and peeps are STILL mad...
Mo'Nique still wants an apology from Oprah for family talk show drama
Mo'Nique opened up about confronting Oprah Winfrey for welcoming her estranged family — including her eldest brother, who admitted to molesting her as a child — onto her eponymous talk show in 2010.

Mo'Nique is opening up about confronting Oprah Winfrey over an episode of her eponymous talk show that involved her estranged family in 2010.
The Oscar winner previously accused Winfrey, as well as filmmakers Lee Daniels and Tyler Perry, of "blackballing" her. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday, Mo'Nique recounted further strain in her relationship with Winfrey, including the time the talk show host welcomed her estranged family — including her eldest brother, who admitted to molesting her as a child — onto her show in 2010.
Following her Oscar win that year, Winfrey informed Mo'Nique that her brother called her and wanted to be on the show to "let her know how parents can watch out for predators," Mo'Nique recounted. "She then said, 'Do you want to come on the show, because he wants to apologize to you?' I said, 'Oprah, I don't want no part of that.'" While she gave Winfrey her blessing to tape the show with her brother, she was "horrified" to see other family members — her parents and another brother, who downplayed the abuse — on the show.

Mo'Nique claimed she and Winfrey "had a lengthy conversation" before the episode where she shared that she and her mother "were not on good terms. We weren't even speaking. Then I see the show and I can tell that my mother is trying to make a dollar. I know my family." She contacted Winfrey, feeling betrayed. "I reached out to everybody I could to try to get to Oprah," Mo'Nique said. "No. Nothing. It just went dead."
It was during an Oscar party at Alfre Woodard's home in celebration of nominee (and eventual winner) Lupita Nyong'o in 2014 that Mo'Nique confronted Winfrey. She took a seat next to her on a sofa and said, "You know we're going to have to talk, right?" Later, when attendees gathered to address Nyong'o about their own Oscar journeys, "I said, 'Lupita, run your race the way you want to run it, baby. Because when you get to the end of it, you should have no regrets,'" she said.
"Oprah Winfrey was sitting on my right. And then I turned to her and said, 'Now I need to talk to you.' There were some phenomenal Black women there. You could have heard a pin drop. I said, 'Since you didn't want to return my calls, for whatever reason, I'm going to say this right here,'" Mo'Nique recounted. She asked Winfrey why she had her estranged family on the show, and Winfrey allegedly said that she had only invited her eldest brother, who showed up with the rest of their family in tow.

Mo'Nique suspected it was a lie, she said. Winfrey said, "I'm going to look into your mother and father being on the show, because I didn't know anything about that," according to Mo'Nique, also adding that Winfrey said "something like, 'If I've done anything to offend you, I apologize.'" That apology, apparently, wasn't enough for Mo'Nique. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she "still demands and expects public apologies from Winfrey and Perry."
Mo'Nique and Daniels recently made amends last year after over a decade of tension, announcing that they would reunite for an upcoming Netflix thriller. Mo'Nique has also said that Perry tried to bury the hatchet, but allegedly only agreed to apologize if she apologized for the blackball claims.
Both Winfrey and Perry declined THR's request for comment on the story. EW has also reached out to the stars' representatives for comment.

She's not getting an apology because Oprah doesn't take kindly to women telling her to suck their dicks.
