‘What Tyler Perry pays black actors, is paying them no damn mind.’: Katt Williams BLASTS Tyler Perry For Torching Shannon Sharpe’s Show & Career | HO
Y’all, Shannon Sharpe is starting to face an insane amount of criticism over his show, and there are rumors that some very powerful people in the industry are trying to force him out. Girl, we all saw this coming from a mile off cause this man has been spilling an insane amount of tea on celebs, and y’all know that these celebs hate it when their crazy secrets get exposed.
But Shannon is fighting alone because his good friend Katt Williams seems to be standing ten toes down with him and defending him against the haters. It’s not surprising that Katt would defend Shannon like this because he’s the one who started spilling some wild tea on celebs to start with, and I’m willing to bet that these celebs are furious at Katt as well.
So, what’s going on between Shannon and these celebrities? Does he have more dirt on them? And why are some people saying that Tyler Perry is trying to end Shannon’s career and his show? Let’s talk about this. When Cat Williams appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast in January, the internet went wild. Cat aired so much dirty laundry that it created a stir online for weeks. It’s been over six months since then, and the drama hasn’t died down.
Cat’s interview has been viewed over 70 million times, and it paved the way for other celebs like Mo’Nique to come on the show and speak their truth. Mo’Nique’s interview alone has been viewed more than 15 million times. Between Cat and Mo’Nique, they exposed a lot of dirt in the industry, which didn’t sit well with many celebs.
Dave Chappelle, for example, accused Cat and Shannon of trying to bring down black artists, saying that they didn’t target white artists in the same way. DL Hughley also spoke up, accusing Shannon of helping his guests spread lies and false narratives about big names in the industry. The podcast has been compared to Wendy Williams’ show in terms of the messiness and drama it stirs up.
Mo’Nique’s interview was particularly explosive because she went after two of the biggest figures in Black Entertainment: Oprah and Tyler Perry. Mo’Nique has a history with Oprah and Tyler Perry, dating back many years. According to Mo’Nique, her beef with them started when she refused to do a promotional press tour for their movie “Precious” without pay.
Oprah and Tyler Perry allegedly retaliated by spreading rumors about Mo’Nique being difficult to work with, which led to her being blacklisted in Hollywood.
Tyler Perry has always insisted that he had nothing to do with Mo’Nique’s issues and claimed that she was using him as a scapegoat. However, Mo’Nique has consistently maintained that Tyler and Oprah played a major role in ruining her career. On Shannon Sharpe’s podcast, she revealed that she even had an audio recording of Tyler Perry admitting that he started the rumor about her being difficult to work with. According to Mo’Nique, Tyler promised to fix the situation but never did.
Mo’Nique also revealed that Tyler’s actions caused her and her family a lot of pain, losing out on jobs worth about $10 million in total. She called on Tyler to compensate her for the damage he caused. Additionally, she claimed that several industry folks who initially supported her turned their backs on her after talking to Tyler Perry.
Despite Tyler Perry’s positive contributions to the black community, some fans are now speculating that he could be behind the attacks on Shannon Sharpe’s show, especially after Mo’Nique’s revelations painted him in a bad light. While there’s no evidence to prove this, it’s an interesting perspective. Fans have commented that the industry hates when it can’t control people and that Shannon should keep pushing forward.
