Shalon Jackson Blasts Mom Mo’Nique After “Club Shay Shay” Interview: Watch

by

Family feuds are among the messiest and most stressful that make it into the news cycle for celebrities. Currently, comedian Mo’Nique is feeling the heat after her firstborn, Shalon Jackson responded to her comments about parenting on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. “I would like to free her from having to continue telling that lie,” he told viewers of his 10-minute TikTok video that details things from his perspective. To avoid being overcome by emotions or getting off track, Jackson wrote down his thoughts and read them out earlier this week.

“Faith without work is dead, and neither one of us cares to put forth any effort to reconcile with the other. We are separate as she put it because she doesn’t care to be my mother any more than I care to be her son,” the 34-year-old shared. Their relationship has come to a standstill, as neither is making moves to contact the other, Vibe notes. Additionally, Jackson is hurt that his mother’s new husband, known to her as “Daddy,” doesn’t acknowledge him.

Getting ahead of any critics, Mo’s son noted, “Responding this way allows me to say my peace uninterrupted. To all those wondering, why say something now? Call it a form of therapy.” While they don’t have active communication, Jackson did confirm that his family matriarch admitted to not doing her best work in raising him. “My mother does a fantastic job of acknowledging a lot of things, but she doesn’t take accountability very well and anything that she may take true accountability for is only at her convenience in my experience.”

As with virtually everyone who’s appeared on Club Shay Shay this year, Mo’Nique has been making headlines non-stop since her interview first aired. Among those she upset with her comments is D.L. Hughley, who she’s been going back and forth with online over the past few days. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Why Mo’Nique & D.L. Hughley Are At Odds

by

Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast has continued in recent weeks to garner a reputation for being the premiere platform for comedians and public figures to air their grievances and double down on their public feuds. Last week, comedian and actress Mo’Nique joined the pod, delivering a few scathing takes about Oprah, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Taraji P. Henson, Tyler Perry, and others. However, the biggest bombshell dropped on the appearance was Mo’Nique’s opinion of Kings of Comedy comedian D.L. Hughley, escalating a dispute that dates back to 2022.

The Beef Began Over A Contract Dispute

According to Mo’Nique, D.L. Hughley has been speaking negatively about her for years, though their actual feud began during a 2022 stand-up comedy performance in Detroit, Michigan. Apparently, both Mo’Nique and D.L. Hughley had listed in their contracts that they were to headline the event, and neither party would agree to go on stage before the other. While some comedians could have simply swallowed their pride and accepted the terms of the stalemate, Mo’Nique and D.L. Hughley took the spat to social media, where things became far more heated and personal.

So personal, in fact, that Mo’Nique called out Hughley for not publicly naming the person who sexually assaulted his daughter, Ryan Nicole Shepard. Hughley has spoken about the assault publicly in the past and explained that he had trouble believing his daughter at first because the alleged abuser was someone he trusted and respected. After the heated exchange, both parties seemed to put the beef to rest for a time, and though they never truly reconciled, it appeared as though the feud was over.

Monique’s Comments Reignited The Rivalry

During her Club Shay Shay appearance, Mo’Nique discussed an incident in which she appeared on D.L. Hughley’s radio show (without the King of Comedy star present) and became offended at the line of questioning she received during a segment of “Would You Rather.” According to Mo’Nique, she had a personal discussion with Hughley after the event in which the comedian was incredibly dismissive of her grievances. D.L. Hughley denies being dismissive of her, as he agreed to pull the entire “Would You Rather” segment, which is still not available for the public to hear to this day.

D.L. Hughley Responded In A Fiery Social Media Post

After the Club Shay Shay appearance, D.L. Hughley responded to Mo’Nique’s comments via Instagram. In the explosive video, Hughley mocked the comedian’s career, made fun of her weight, and exposed several alleged lies that Mo’Nique has told to the public in recent years. He also called her Netflix special “trash” and claimed that the stand-up comedy routine “got the worst reviews of any Netflix special in history.”

Since then, the pair have continued to fire shots back and forth at one another through social media, with no sign of an end in sight. Mo’Nique will likely continue to drag the feud out in public as promotion for her upcoming stint on Katt Williams’ Dark Matter tour, which she is poised to join later this month.

D.L. Hughley isn’t trying to hear any of what Mo’Nique is saying on Club Shay Shay.

“Welp, ‘Club Shay Shay’ is getting messier and messier,” Hughley said. “It’s almost like Wendy Williams didn’t go nowhere, she just got a weight set.”

Mo’Nique stated on Club Shay Shay that a co-host on Hughley’s radio show offended her. She also stated Hughley would call her to address the situation.

In a clip online, Hughley provided his side of the story: “Mo’Nique’s a liar. When Mo’Nique did call me, I hear her complaints, I listened to her and I pulled the segment. So if I had been as dismissive as she alleges I was, that segment would’ve aired. It didn’t, because I respected her wishes. She’s a liar.”

Mo’Nique On Her “Fraternal Twin Brother” Katt Williams

Mo’Nique and her husband Sidney Hicks shared the news during an Instagram Live earlier today. The couple was addressing D.L. Hughley’s response to her callout on Club Shay Shay, as well as thanking the hosts of The Breakfast Club for their recent apologies. She had claimed that she was made uncomfortable during a game of “Would You Rather” on Hughley’s radio show, prompting him to fire back. “Every time I see Mo’Nique these days, she’s doing some greasy a** video with her and her daddy complaining about something or working out,” he said, also dubbing her a “liar.” According to Mo’Nique and Hicks, however, Hughley only scrapped the interview because they had gotten their attorney involved, though they hadn’t yet reached the point of sending him a cease and desist.

At some point in the Instagram Live, they snuck the announcement in. Fans note that Mo’Nique’s inclusion on the tour is sure to make it all the more explosive.

Mo’Nique’s Brother’s Oprah Interview Resurfaces After Actress Admits She Felt Betrayed

by

Mo’Nique’s recent interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay was jam-packed with revelations. She opened up about being blackballed from the entertainment industry, speaking out against Black icons, being shunned by her peers, and more. At one point in the interview, she reflected on Oprah’s 2010 interview with several of her family members. The interview, which took place only days after she won a Grammy for her role in Precious, revolved around her older brother Gerald, who sexually assaulted her as a child.

According to Mo’Nique, Oprah had called her before having her brother on the show, which she felt grateful for. She recalls telling Oprah that she was okay with Gerald being interviewed, despite not wanting to be involved. She also says that she was never asked about other family members, including her parents and grandparents, appearing on the show. Mo’Nique admits that she was shocked to see them all in commercials later discussing such a traumatic experience for her.

Oprah And Gerald Discuss His Crimes Against Mo’Nique

“I start seeing commercials with my mother and my father, and my other brother who used to be my manager who knew the fear that I had with the brother that was up onstage,” she described. “We never talked about my mother being there. You know how you feel about your grandparents? You know the honor, and how you speak about them? Imagine you then seeing your granddaddy and your grandmamma on a show and they’re talking about somebody that violated you. And that woman didn’t tell you that they were going to be there.”

Now, clips from the interview are also making their rounds online, showing Gerald admitting to his crimes.

Mo'Nique Speaks on Issues with Tiffany Haddish, Oprah, Kevin Hart and Tyler Perry During 'Club Shay Shay' Visit

Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay has become the podcast to go get your gripes off. After the viral Katt Wiliams interview, Shay Shay welcomes another comedian, Mo’Nique, who aired her issues. The targets include Tiffany Haddish, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, and Kevin Hart.

Mo’Nique addressed comments by Haddish directed toward her husband and business partner in discussing the failed Netflix deal. “My business run different than her business,” Haddish said. “I don’t live her life. I don’t have that husband of hers.”

During the episode, Mo’Nique said: “When I saw that, it’s like, Tiffany, if you had a husband like mine, you may not have two DUIs. If you had a husband like mine, you may not be caught up in what looks like you could have been grooming a child.”

Shots fired.

The commentary on Kevin Hart was a bit softer, stating the comedian ghosted her after appearing on his podcast. Hart stated he would executive produce any project she wanted to work on, but his manager gave the impression the comedian didn’t want “anything to do with” her. Hart called it all miscommunication, but there hasn’t been any conversation since.

Mo’Nique also stated when her family was in a bad spot, Kevin Hart extended his hand with a check, whichs he later repaid.

Moving on to Oprah, Mo’Nique states she was “betrayed” by the woman she once idolized. “Family is sacred, and we don’t cross the line with family.” The lengthy discourse on Oprah is available below.

In the same statement, she addressed Taraji P. Henson’s crying in the media, suggesting it was more well-received than standing firm with her husband by her side. “It’s a sad day when we’re questioning why a Black man would stand with his Black woman.” Mo’Nique stated Henson was a “better messenger” for the matters impacting Black women in Hollywood.

Mo’Nique stated she had a recording of Tyler Perry admitting to lying about Mo’Nique being hard to work, leading to her being blackballed.

“That’s cost my family tens of millions of dollars, yeah, over a lie and a rumor,” Mo’Nique said, speaking on a loss of an opportunity for generational wealth. “We want to ensure that when we leave here, our babies are in good hands. Their well-being is paramount. If Tyler Perry hadn’t spread that falsehood, we’d be on our way already.”

During the episode, Mo’Nique revealed Sharpe heard the recording.

Mo’Nique Claims Oprah Winfrey & Tyler Perry “Blackballed” Her In Hollywood

by

Mo’Nique held nothing back while talking about Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry on Club Shay Shay. She claimed that the pair were responsible for her getting “blackballed” in Hollywood. The feud and blackballing allegedly dates back to 2009 and 2010, when Mo’Nique refused to do free promotion for Precious and omitted Perry, Winfrey, and director Lee Daniels from her 2010 Oscars speech. Furthermore, Mo’Nique claimed she also has a recording of Perry admitting that he is the one who started the rumor that she is difficult to work with.

Meanwhile, Mo’Nique claimed that Oprah frequently “overstepped”, such as inviting Mo’Nique’s brother and sexual abuser Gerald onto her talk show. Furthermore, Mo’Nique claimed that Oprah had “stolen” at least two film roles from her, both in Lee Daniels movies. Mo’Nique was meant to be play Gloria Gaynes in The Butler and Richard Pryor’s grandmother is a to-be-released biopic but both roles ended up going to Oprah.

Mo’Nique Reveals Who She Wants Shannon Sharpe To Date

However, the interview wasn’t entirely tea. Mo’Nique also revealed the sort of woman she wants to see host Shannon Sharpe date. “Shannon needs needs an old, fat gal. Someone who bakes good cakes. Someone who can make a smothered turkey and rub his feet at the night time. You don’t need no 26-year-old girl. You don’t need no 36-year-old girl. This is your auntie talking to you. Take your ass and go get yourself an old b-tch out there,” Mo’Nique told a very amused Sharpe.

Of course, Sharpe’s dating life is a common topic across his various media ventures. Back in November 2023, Sharpe revealed that he wanted a “sinner” and specifically named adult actress Miss B. Nasty. “I don’t want nobody who is walking the straight and narrow,” Sharpe added as Chad Johnson responded with disappointment. It is certainly a surprising response as Sharpe has always been the sort of guy to shy away from overt sexuality when it is presented to him. Most recently, he appeared unsure as to whether he would support his partner running an OnlyFans account.
