Mo’Nique’s conflict with Whoopi arose from a tense exchange on “The View” where Whoopi criticized Mo’Nique for not promoting the film “Precious” internationally, despite Mo’Nique’s claim that she wasn’t contractually obligated and wasn’t paid for it.

Whoopi insisted that promotion is part of the job, a stance that Mo’Nique disagreed with, leading to a palpable tension between them. Mo’Nique later expressed her disappointment in Whoopi’s advice to prioritize herself over future generations, revealing her dismay over Whoopi’s salary at “The View,” which she found surprisingly low.

The tension highlights Mo’Nique’s broader battle against perceived unfair treatment in Hollywood, including her public call to boycott Netflix over pay disparities.

She felt undercut when Netflix offered her $500,000 for a comedy special, while significantly higher amounts were offered to Amy Schumer, Dave Chappelle, and Chris Rock.

Mo’Nique has also clashed with Oprah, Perry, and Daniels, accusing them of blackballing her for not participating in unpaid promotions for “Precious.” She revealed that her refusal to do so led to a reputation of being difficult to work with, impacting her career significantly.

Additionally, Mo’Nique has accused Oprah of betraying her by featuring her estranged family on Oprah’s talk show without her consent, a move that reignited painful personal issues for Mo’Nique.

Mo’Nique’s stand for fair treatment and pay in Hollywood is shared by other actresses like Taraji P. Henson, who also faced pay disparities despite her extensive experience and accolades.

Throughout her career, Mo’Nique has remained steadfast in speaking out against what she views as injustices, despite the personal and professional repercussions.
