The drama between actress-comedienne Mo’Nique and mogul movie Tyler Perry has not been put on pause. In fact, Mo kicked the saga into high-gear after releasing a phone conversation of herself, husband-manager Sydney and Perry.
In the recordings, obtained by RollingOut, Tyler admits that the “difficult to work with” brand that has been attributed to Mo’Nique was unfair. He also said he would pay Mo additional money for the movie Precious, something she previously said never happened.
In the audio, Tyler is also heard stating that Mo’Nique should have been paid to promote the movie Precious overseas, another point she has made on several occasions but even Whoopi Goldberg criticized her for it.
Transcribed below are some of the recorded exchanges with Perry.
Note: the content contains profanity.
Sidney: “When you have that same Black man in Lee Daniels in an interview with Sundance — and I’m telling you somebody’s gonna get that interview — they say what was it like to work with Mo’Nique?”
Tyler: “She’s the Black Oprah Winfrey.”
Sidney: “She’s the Black version of Oprah Winfrey, and it was incredible.”
Tyler: “This is why I’m calling you right now. I just watched the podcast. And the reason I’m calling, I sat down here and watched it, and I’m looking at you and I’m looking at Mo’Nique and I see pain there, I see hurt. I don’t want to be a part of anybody, anybody being hurt.”
Mo’Nique: “It ain’t like I’m no b—- that show up at the party and I don’t perform. It ain’t like I show up drunk and high and I don’t know my lines, it ain’t like that. And y’all know that, so when you and that brother [Lee Daniels] got together a year ago, did y’all at any time say, ‘Ah man, what we did to that sister wasn’t fair, it wasn’t fair’?”
Tyler: “I can totally see the way you see that, but this may piss you off 100%, Mo’Nique, but it’s the truth, I never wanted to look back on Precious or any of that. I chalked it up as a bad experience and I was ready to move on and move forward.”
Tyler: “If someone had said, ‘Tyler, this is what you need to do right now’; if you had picked up the phone and said, ‘Hey, somebody needs to do something to help me out here …’ ”
Mo’Nique: “You’re talking in Tyler Perry language. I would ask you to let Mo’Nique talk to Madea, because when you start talking in Tyler Perry language, brother, you talk like you don’t get it. [Tyler laughs] Right, n—a, you gotta laugh at it, cause, let me tell you, Tyler, when I watch your movies, I dig Madea, you know why I dig her? You know why I dig her, Tyler?”
Sidney: “Because she could be your mother.”
Mo’Nique: “You know why I dig her? Because that b—- is real to her gut and she don’t give a f— how it come out. She don’t give a f— how it is taken, but everybody know she love you, but she going to tell you the real sh*t. You see, when you stepped away from Madea and you became Tyler Perry the billionaire, this is the conversation we’re having saying what do you want me to do?
What do you want me to say? You’re the brother that slept in your car [Tyler laughs] and you needed n—as to fight for you to get you up out the god—- car, — see your momma that you love so dearly, this is when the powers that be — everybody saying, ‘Oh my God it’s Oprah and Tyler,’ — they are the ones that can employ her, why ever would she say it? Because I love those n—as, that’s why I’m saying it.
Because 100 years from now that we watched our brothers and sisters die and suffer in poverty and we know what is right, so what I’m saying to you, Madea [would] make Tyler’s a– step his a– up. I’m talking to Madea right now. Madea, I need you to pull Tyler’s *** in the back and say, ‘Baby, you watching this sister and her family starve.
You’re watching it. What do you want me to do? Listen, don’t you play with that baby like that. You know the s— y’all did to her was wrong. You gave $400K – $500K to charity and you know that b—- got $50K. Where’s my pistol? Where’s my pistol? Cause I need to shoot this n—a. Now I’m not going to kill him, I’m going to shoot him in his a– to let him know Madea’s mad as s— right now.’ I appreciate you calling me. What you gonna do?”
Tyler: “This is Tyler Perry talking. I’m gonna call and find out what money is coming in from Precious, and I’m going to send that to you. I’m going to send that over to you. Whatever it is, I’m gonna send it to you.”
Tyler: “I don’t want you to feel, not one day, that you were mistreated, or that you were treated unfairly. Now, if that means that that’s what I need to do, you do that, and take it from a place of love.”

dont do thatshorty gotta chill. she acting way too talented. But the numbers aint adding up.
dont do that
bunch of talented people
dont get looks
or the numbers
specially a black woman
im riding with her
waityea but...she's not that talented. it's like an argument i got in before over why Adele was poppin and Jasmine Sullivan isn't.
Loud *** annoying *** Tiffany Haddish literally everywhere. I'm not trying to hear that Monique aint poppin because of some cloak and dagger behind the curtain motives.
it vindicates her from the haters.Just don't see why she would leak this.
but they STILL gonna hateit vindicates her from the haters.
Just don't see why she would leak this.
for u to even mention kathy hieglYall need to stop enabling this *******, she's been reported to been a POA to deal with and the last thing worthwhile she was in was precious. I don't see anybody riding for kathy heigl and she was also a POA. She only got yall sympathy points cause she made this about something that it's not.
Thanks for the non answerfor u to even mention kathy hiegl
tells me all i need to know
wait
u telling me u dont think jasmine sullivan is talented
or am i reading ur post wrong
He clearly didn't say that man. He just said Adele is betterwait
u telling me u dont think jasmine sullivan is talented
or am i reading ur post wrong
Oh ok got ityou're reading it wrong. I'm not saying she isnt talented. Jasmine can blow. I'm saying the reason she isnt popping like adele is, is because she's just maybe not AS talented as Adele. Or she's not as relateable. Or likeable. Maybe her songs aren't as addictive. There's any number of reason why people connect to some and not others. I'm leaning more towards talent in Adele's case.
Same with Monique. She talks like she's some otherworldly talent and people are holding her back. Like they don't want her to be great. Maybe....maybe people just don't **** with you like that. Maybe you arent as funny, or as creative as you think you are in your own head.
In a lot of ways, kanye is the same way. When he was spazzing on sway talking about the fashion houses holding him back. and nobody was giving him any money to further his dreams.
I have a high belief that if you are truly talented and gifted, **** will find a way to happen for you. Otherwise, you'll blame people for 'not understanding your genius'
To some peopleWas this really worth it though? The convo is pretty tame, all things considered.
Mo'nique is burning bridges all across Hollywood. Now studio executives and those within the industry know that no conversation with her is safe. Good luck finding work now.
Maybe nothing to usWhat exactly does this prove or do?i was expecting some juicy secret or something.
You reading it wrong.wait
u telling me u dont think jasmine sullivan is talented
