Her expletive-filled stand-up act during a comedy show at the Apollo Theater on 13 May, revolved around her being “blackballed” – as she called it, by the producers of her 2009 released theatrical project, ‘Precious’ – a claim that was brought to the limelight by the actress herself during the Oscar-campaign of her movie.

Her “Fu** You’s” and “Suck my d**k” expletives from her Saturday night stand-up, directed towards the powerful trio had Twitterattis rolling on the floor as they noted how she may be the one “blackballing” herself with her no-hold barred way of speaking.
TV Host John Murray joked in response to her rant, saying, “At this point, the only person in this business that’ll probably work with #MoNique is Bill Cosby.”
While some urged the former talk-show host to just stop, others wanted more of that tea!
Check out some of the responses people had on Twitter after her speech went viral:

3 black ppl u don't wanna cross as a black person: Oprah Tyler Perry Lee Daniels. Monique I cannot approve of your message— Koretta Gray (@korettag) May 15, 2017
While I disagree with Mo'Nique blasting Tyler Perry, Oprah, and Lee Daniels she can still have a job in Hollywood.— Kevin Simmons (@TheSkorpion) May 15, 2017
@KMJeezy I just wish this wasn’t the hill she’s dying on. Esp when she seemed ill fitted for both roles— Bane (@IntenseDesire) May 15, 2017
