Overview
- Mo'Nique posted the letter on Instagram on Monday, prompted by a resurfaced clip of their 2018 exchange and recent viewer reactions, and asked Goldberg, "have your feelings changed?"
- In the original segment, Goldberg said promoting a movie is part of an actor’s job and that she could have "schooled" Mo'Nique, who maintained she met her contract and declined unpaid overseas press for Precious.
- Mo'Nique referenced reports about a 1993 dispute tied to Goldberg and Theodore Rex to question the consistency of Goldberg’s 2018 position.
- She said Tyler Perry privately admitted on audio that calling her difficult was wrong but has not publicly corrected it, and she questioned whether ties to Oprah Winfrey, former View executive producer Candi Carter, or Perry shaped Goldberg’s stance.
- Coverage notes Mo'Nique reconciled with Lee Daniels in 2022 and appeared in his 2024 film The Deliverance, and representatives for Goldberg have not immediately commented.
