Mo'nique's Lawsuit Against Netflix is Moving Forward

It is unclear when the feud between D.L. Hughley and Mo’Nique will end. Over the weekend, the two took to social media to show their contracts to prove who was supposed to be the headliner at the comedy show in Detroit. On Tuesday, D.L. took to his radio show to clear the air, calling Mo’Nique an “occupational hazard” and saying that he was warned about Mo’Nique but decided to give her a chance to grace the stage.

Mo’Nique has since responded in an Instagram video where she takes more shots at D.L. and explains why she brought Steve Harvey into their feud.

“There was nothing that was said about your wife, your family. It was directed specifically to you,” Mo’Nique. She added: “Saturday night, D.L. Hughley was going to get his ass handed to him because, through the years, I’ve heard this man have a lot to say about me.”

Mo’Nique added that she wanted D.L. to be there while she continuously threw him under the bus. She brought Steve Harvey into the mix because he and D.L. Hughley lied about her during a radio interview.

She also disputed claims that audience members were frustrated with her spending her set talking and Hughley and the contract dispute.

D.L. and Mo’Nique posted their contracts on Instagram with conflicting details. D.L. posted his deal memo, which had him as the headliner, while Mo’Nique posted the contract she sent the promoter. The two’s show schedules also were different, with Mo’Niques saying she was the headliner and D.L.’s schedule saying he was headlining.

On his morning show on Tuesday morning, D.L. took the time to clear the air about his beef with Mo’Nique. calling the legendary comedian an “occupational hazard.”

“Now I know what Tyler Perry knows, I know what Lee Daniels knows, I know what Oprah knows, I know what Steve Harvey knows, I know what Charlamagne Tha God knows, I know what Netflix knows. Saying yes to Mo’Nique is an occupational hazard.”

Hughley continued to share his side of the story, blaming himself for taking a chance with Mo’Nique and asking why instead of handling her contract dispute with the promoters, she decided to rant about it on stage during her set.

You can watch D.L.’s remarks below.

50 Cent has been known as of late for giving out of work actors jobs. Most notably he found Geoffery Owens a role in Power Book II: Ghost after pictures surfaced of the former Cosby Show actor working at Trader Joe’s. Now, Fif is calling for the Black film community to start casting Mo’Nique again after she was blackballed following her Academy Award-winning performance in Precious.

Fif took to Instagram to call for Mo’Nique’s “uncancellation” in the industry. “I went to see @therealmoworldwide stand-up show [during] Super Bowl weekend. Oh shit! Was so good, she had my ass in a trance,” he told his followers over the weekend. “You gotta go check her out the shit was [fire].”

Fif shared in another post that he has to get Mo’Nique back acting again, maybe in one of his shows. “I gotta get @therealmoworldwide back in pocket,” he said. “We only [supposed] to cancel shit that ain’t good for the culture. We need you to WIN again now MO’NIQUE.”

In his last post, 50 wrote “All in favour of @therealmoworldwide being back on top, say make it happen 50! STOP F*CKING AROUND.”

For those that don’t know, Mo’Nique was blackballed from the film industry following her Best Supporting Actress win at the Academy Awards for Precious. In a recent interview, Mo’Nique explained that Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry, and Oprah blackballed her and labeled her “difficult to work with” after she refused to do press for Precious without being compensated for it. She even told a story of how Tyler Perry and Oprah called her early one morning and told her to pack her bags and do press for the film without any prior notice.

Maybe we’ll see Mo’Nique hit the small screen soon in the Power universe.
