Mo’Nique is opening up about her high-profile feuds. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 55-year-old comedian discusses both the origins and current standings of her public feuds with Lee Daniels, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry.
Everything started in 2004 when she met Daniels. The following year, she appeared in his directorial debut, “Shadowboxer”. From there, Mo’Nique says, she and Daniels “never stopped communicating,” all the way up to her starring role in the 2009 film “Precious”.
The film quickly earned critical praise and was part of the awards season discussion, something that Daniels, along with producers Winfrey and Perry, wanted to capitalize on. Mo’Nique declined to go on a press tour without being compensated for her time, and thus the rift began.

Mo'Nique won't be appearing on Oprah Winfrey's show any time soon, as she is reportedly still seething over her brother's interview on the talk show. Producers have been trying to get the Oscar winner to guest star but she refuses to be used as a ratings pawn.
RadarOnline.com says that the 42-year-old actress is incensed about her brother Gerald Imes' appearance on Oprah's show. Although she gave Oprah her blessing to interview Gerald, the whole episode left a bitter taste in her mouth.
In the interview, Gerald admitted to sexually harassing Mo'Nique when he was 13 and she was just 7 or 8. He claimed he wanted to appear on the show to apologize to Mo'Nique, but when he alleged that he had molested her during times when she was sleeping when in fact she was awake and scared of him, Mo'Nique became more furious.
