I wish she had this body shape 15+ years ago
Yeah it's funny that people leave out the truth about her fall out with c00n Daniels...
He asked her to do a press run for the movie and she asked to be paid for it...the studio decided not to pay her so she said she wasn't doing it...
But I guess when you a black woman in hollywood and don't do for free things other people get paid for...it makes you a diva...
Y'all got to help me understand this...
Monique came on the scene as a decent comedian... not great, not horrible but she can get laughs, she ends up getting her own sitcom that ends up becoming pretty popular, ends up in a bunch of mediocre ass movies (Phat Girlz) and ends up in a little movie that gains all kinds of Oscar buzz for some reason which leads to her getting a nightly talk show... Then she lost it all. WTF happened? Like this chick should've seized this opprertunity when she had it man! Who thinks that Monique is a good actress? Anybody ever put her up there with Angela Bassett and them? Man dhe should've embraced every fukking thing that them folks threw at her cause Monique wasn't going to get no more Oscar worthy movies. Man she really did have next but ended up losing everything smh.

Wow man, a lot of y'all dudes are late on this. Here's one article about it
Mo'Nique 'was blackballed by Hollywood for being difficult' after Oscar win | Daily Mail Online
I read somewhere else that her and her husband were acting like divas to everyone making crazy demands, in a city where everybody makes crazy demands
Her and Terrance Howard got hit hard for seeking the same things other white counterparts with similar career paths are given by simple handout. Then forced to appear as unstable. Now granted I do not know much past Howard and his hiccups in negotiations for iron man. Yet Howard was villified for seeking what any draw increased from oscer exposure actor should get and Monique was villified for the same lack of consideration others received who achieved similar acknowledgement for. When we have seen much worse white counterparts be way more difficult to work with and still be given the moon and stars.

Howard was never black balled though. He's appeared in a dozen or so major Hollywood projects since iron man.
Actors have contractual disputes over money all the time, Bruce Willis with Expendables for example. That's probably bad but not bad enough to be blackballed
When you fukk up the money or make yourself unhirable, that's usually when you get blackballed from the industry - Nate Parker right now for example, he's done.
What happened with Nate parker?

Howard was blackballed and bumped down forcibly to where he is on tv now actually.
I also believe he got into it withbjon favreau as well.
Plus never got to get to the promised land consistently in pay like an accredited actor should and generally is if they were white.
