Sherri Shepherd and Kym Whitley of the podcast Two Funny Mamas discussed the newest BET film The Reading starring Mo’Nique.
“Mo’Nique got the Oscar for Precious for a reason,” Sherri remarked. People disregard comics.
“She’s really really good – she’s a great actress. Now personality wise, she’s always getting in trouble, always. If it’s not with another comic, D.L. Hughley…it’s somebody.”
Mo’Nique responded via Instagram, saying, “. . . My personality is of such where I have to speak up and out against injustices, so we can stop being as you both said, ‘underrated.’ And if you notice I haven’t ever started a conversation about you two that involved any negativity in any way in all of the years I’ve known you two.” She added, “Anytime the team of you two sisters would like to speak with the team of my husband and I, we welcome it. Thank you two again for the compliments, though backhanded, and please know regardless, I still love you both to life, “sisters”!

Hello @sherrieshepherd and @kymwhitley
first thank you for your compliments regarding my talents and performance in “The Reading”. I couldn’t help but notice though, that you two said, because of my personality I’m always “getting in trouble”.
You then attempted to show a connection between my personality and me being blackballed, along with the fallout I had with Brother DL Hughley. In addition, you two within the same breath mentioned how we as comics are “underestimated”.
First thing, kids with their parents, criminals with the law, and slaves with their masters, get into trouble, and last time I checked, I don’t fit into any of these categories to get in trouble with anyone mentioned, do you two?
When you two say “we as comics are underrated”, and you Sherrie, Kim and I are ironically all black female comics, why do you think we’re “underrated”? My personality is of such where I have to speak up and out against injustices, so we can stop being as you both said, “underrated. And if you notice I haven’t ever started a conversation about you two that involved any negativity in any way in all of the years I’ve known you two.
Check my resume’ I don’t go knocking on anyones door saying things I can’t substantiate, but some people have a problem with me because when they knock on my door with BS. I answer.
Anytime the team of you two sisters would like to speak with the team of my husband and I, we welcome it. Thank you two again for the compliments, though backhanded, and please know regardless, I still love you both to life, “sisters”!
I LOVE US 4REAL!
