Comedian and Academy Award-winning actress Mo’Nique is once again taking aim at filmmaker Tyler Perry, this time with a bold and sassy open letter that calls out the mogul for his role in her alleged blackballing from Hollywood.
The letter comes on the heels of Perry’s public remarks at the funeral of legendary soul singer Angie Stone, where he lamented how Stone, a trailblazer in hip-hop, R&B, and soul, was long underappreciated and mistreated in her career. Seizing the opportunity, Mo’Nique used the moment to critique Perry, drawing direct parallels between his treatment of Stone and her own alleged struggles with him.
In the letter, Mo’Nique wastes no time addressing the longstanding tension between her and Perry, who is famously known for his Madea films. She makes it clear that she’s not holding back any longer. Her grievances are laid out in four key points, starting with what she sees as a blatant attack on her character.
“You labeled me ‘difficult to work with’ despite never having worked with me,” Mo’Nique writes, accusing Perry of perpetuating damaging and unfounded rumors that hurt her career.
The actress, known for her sharp wit and fearless attitude, doesn’t stop there. She goes on to call Perry out for his role in the financial losses she claims to have suffered due to his actions. “You asked, ‘Where is the money she is owed?’ Well, Tyler, the false narrative you perpetuated helped blackball me and cost me tens of millions of dollars,” she continues.
The letter is a direct challenge to Perry, demanding accountability for the ways in which she believes his influence has negatively impacted her career. Mo’Nique’s words are a reminder that she’s not afraid to speak her truth, no matter how sassy or bold it may be.
For Mo’Nique, the gloves are off. It’s clear that after years of silence, she’s ready to call out those she feels wronged her – and Tyler Perry is no exception.
