Hollywood has long been known for its secrets, but comedian and Oscar-winning actress Mo’Nique refuses to keep silent. In a recent revelation, she shared that her husband often reminds her of the legal action she should have taken years ago—after her fallout with industry giants Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey.

Mo’Nique says her career took a devastating turn after Perry allegedly spread a damaging lie about her, creating what she describes as a “blackball” that followed her throughout Hollywood. Despite delivering strong auditions and even being told she landed roles, she claims projects would later back out, leaving her sidelined and questioning the forces working against her.

“The harassment continues quietly behind the scenes,” she reflected, noting how the shadow of that controversy still impacts her livelihood. But Mo’Nique, never one to hold her tongue, has made it clear that she won’t stop speaking her truth—no matter how uncomfortable it may be for Hollywood’s power players.

Still standing strong with her husband by her side, Mo’Nique is determined to reclaim her narrative. “They may have tried to silence me, but I will never silence myself,” she declared.
