Mo’Nique don’t give a f**k.

TMZ has reported that the comedian unleashed a fiery rant on Oprah and Tyler Perry. During the latest Katt Williams’ Dark Matter comedy tour stop, Mo verbally attacked the two moguls. She then got the crowd to participate in calling Perry and Winfrey “coon mutha**kers.”

“F**k you, Oprah Winfrey! F**k you, Tyler Perry!” she began. “F**k them coon mutherf**kers! I said it, ni**a, say it with me!”

Mo then paused after seeing some people in the crowd decline to participate. The Maryland actress began mocking them and their love for Oprah, but then she insisted that her actions were all out of love. The comedian turned her attention to Oprah’s inner circle. She questioned her close relationship with Gayle King and even insinuated that they were romantically involved.

“I’m too motherf**king old to be scared of this bi**h. I’m too old to be intimidated by this bi**h. I’m too old to hold the mutherf**king truth.”

“I love that Black raggedy bi**h. I love that Black simple-minded mutherf**ker. I love Oprah Winfrey’s Black a**. And we just need to bring her back to Black,” she added.

Mo’Nique then asked a man named Melvin in the audience if they liked Oprah. He confirmed she was a fan, leading Mo to decline to apologize for her remarks. The Precious entertainer followed up by doubling-down on her efforts to “bring her back to Black” by any means necessary.

“We need you to help us bring that bi**h back to Black. I need you to bend her the f**k and f**k her like a Nashville, Tenessee ni**a would, and bring that bi**h back to Black,” Mo’Nique commanded Melvin.

The drama started around 2010 after Mo won an Oscar for her supporting role in Lee Daniel’s Precious. Mo’Nique detailed on Club Shay Shay that that night, her husband, Sidney Hicks, told her Oprah, an executive producer on the film, seemed to have an issue with her win. Hicks stated that Winfrey seemed upset that Mo’Nique was being celebrated for the movie instead of her.

She then noticed a shift in the legendary talk show host’s attitude towards her. The Parkers alum recalled one instance where a role in Daniels’ The Butler that was initially for her went to Oprah. After voicing her concern about the move, Daniels insisted that he didn’t have the power or money to tell Oprah no. She also claimed that the same tactic was used to freeze her out of a role in an unnamed Richard Pryor biopic.

She also alleged that her refusal to promote Precious overseas for free led to both Tyler Perry and Oprah effectively “blackballing” her from Hollywood. The comedian also claimed that Perry later confirmed that he helped spread an industry rumor that she was difficult to work with.
