Mo&#8217;Nique held nothing back as she went off on several A-list comedians and spoke further about some ongoing feuds in a scathing new podcast interview.

The Oscar-winning &#8220;Precious&#8221; star appeared Wednesday on the &#8220;Club Shay Shay&#8221; podcast, where she took shots at Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, and Oprah Winfrey. Throughout the interview, she also argued she has not received the same opportunities in Hollywood as she would if she were white and that she has been effectively blackballed for prior comments she has made along these same lines.
&#8220;If I was a white woman, my name would be Melissa McCarthy,&#8221; she told host Shannon Sharpe. &#8220;Same track record. Five-year sitcom in syndication. Same track record. The opportunities are not the same.&#8221;
The comedian, who settled a discrimination lawsuit against Netflix in 2022, starred on the sitcom &#8220;The Parkers,&#8221; while McCarthy starred on &#8220;Mike &amp; Molly.&#8221;

At one point in the wide-ranging, three-hour conversation, Mo&#8217;Nique slammed comedian Tiffany Haddish for a 2018 remark the &#8220;Girls Trip&#8221; star made about her husband Sidney Hicks, who is also her manager.
In an interview with GQ at the time, Haddish discussed Mo&#8217;Nique&#8217;s call for a boycott of Netflix by saying, &#8220;My business run different than her business. I don&#8217;t live her life. I don&#8217;t have that husband of hers.&#8221;
Mo&#8217;Nique fired back, &#8220;When I saw that, it&#8217;s like, Tiffany, if you had a husband like mine, you may not have two DUIs. If you had a husband like mine, you may not be caught up in what looks like you could have been grooming a child.&#8221;

Haddish was arrested for DUI for the second time in two years in November, which came after she was named in a lawsuit alleging 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual battery, 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment and 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual abuse of a minor in 2022. The allegations stemmed from a sketch that Haddish said was &#8220;intended to be comedic&#8221; but &#8220;wasn&#8217;t funny at all.&#8221;
Haddish added, &#8220;I deeply regret having agreed to act in it.&#8221; The lawsuit was later dismissed at the plaintiff&#8217;s request.
Mo&#8217;Nique on &#8216;miscommunication&#8217; with Kevin Hart
Another target in Mo&#8217;Nique&#8217;s interview was Kevin Hart.
She alleged that after appearing on the comedian&#8217;s podcast, Hart offered to partner with her to executive produce any projects she wanted. But Mo&#8217;Nique claimed that when she tried to take him up on this, she learned that Hart&#8217;s manager was allegedly making it known that Hart actually didn&#8217;t want &#8220;anything to do with&#8221; her.
According to Mo&#8217;Nique, Hart blamed a &#8220;miscommunication,&#8221; but she never heard from him again in the two years since. Mo&#8217;Nique did, however, give Hart &#8220;proper credit&#8221; for writing her family a check when they were &#8220;up against the wall.&#8221;

Mo&#8217;Nique also again went into her years-old feud with Oprah Winfrey, who in 2010 invited members of Mo&#8217;Nique&#8217;s estranged family on her talk show. &#8220;You betrayed me, sister,&#8221; Mo&#8217;Nique said of Winfrey, adding, &#8220;Family is sacred, and we don&#8217;t cross the line with family.&#8221;
Mo&#8217;Nique&#8217;s podcast appearance came after Katt Williams appeared on the &#8220;Club Shay Shay&#8221; podcast in January, where he similarly went off on a laundry list of names, from Cedric the Entertainer to Steve Harvey.
