Right. I guess tph will be next on the show. I hope not. She needs to go figure out a few things and get her stories straight bc it's not making sense.

@LisePlansandJournals Yes, that's the question. I'm not sure why I didn't appreciate him standing by her side. My only excuse is I wasn't aware he was her manager too. However, that's beside the point and is immaterial. I recognize that now.

Don't understand why it's hitting differently. This is something that has been going on forever, why did Monique wait to speak on it when she felt it affected her?
There is definitely a disconnect, because Monique is not the first person. Oprah has tried to do this with …look how she wanted to be Michael Jackson‘s Bestie, and when she didn’t feel that was going to happen, she turned on him. She did interviews with him, and she asked all the ridiculous questions instead of important ones, but she wanted to be his Bestie😳🙄?! I believe Tyler may have turned on Monique because every show he had was on an Oprah channel and he felt if he went against Oprah he’d be back to where he started . It was a cloud in his judgment. I think the real problem is Oprah, and others like her she also threw Toni Braxton for no reason under an atomic bus. Oprah cares about Oprah.
Agree but tph knew what it was. I knew something was off too when she said hand picked vs audition. She was taking singing lessons bc she knew about tcp upcoming movie. She is too problematic for me. She picked the worst time to talk about this. I think she ruined it for the others who have yet to be featured in as many movies she has been featured.
I'm not a Monique fan or hater but she presents a valid argument that cannot be ignored for what she experienced and saw herself and challenged the status quo.
THANK YOU and she speaks for young ones coming UP in the industry who don’t have the push or accolades. So many in checked victims that people will SHUN for speaking up. Do you see how they threw Monique away so quickly and she’s NEVER had one hiccup in her career. As soon as she talked about higher up mistreatment… she was “complicated”
Same. She makes great points and is transparent but that honestly doesn't make me like or hate her any which way. She says it here in this video. They act like these celebrities can't do no wrong. That point is flying over everybody's heads here acting like Monique is infallible bc she called others out. I appreciate her and she makes excellent points but this has to be a greater conversation with the people involved.
All these interviews is putting Shannon in an interesting position but he is very careful and caring at the same time to the truths of what is coming out. It's very balanced and not fodder for the tabloids. Much respect.
People have been saying blacks get less pay ever since they got off the boat. She is not the first person to say this. Viola been talking about it too. Taraji is not broke. She just wants her worth.
Blacks have traditionally made less money too. Cookie on Empire is not gonna make what Elaine made on Seinfeld. Seinfeld had bigger numbers and cost less to make. American Pie, Barbershop and Next Friday all had the same budget. American Pie made over 6 times the money. So those white boys are gonna get paid well. It's just a numbers game... we live in a white country. Monique & Taraji know this. I can't speak on Taraji, but Monique is manipulating the narrative. Either that or she's ignorant at her old age.
@Kendra_p Like she said, she gave specific names. And her look. Most are generic -"they", "the industy". She even said she was not the first. It was that she was the big name then and they made an example of her.
She won't, she's not ready...maybe one day she'll be more transparent. Sometimes it takes a real wake up call or being ousted to let the chips fall where they may sadly.
Oprah and Tyler P. You all are iconic figures in African-American eyes. You gave us “HOPE”. We the people help you make it to where you are today. I will not support anything they touch until they make it right!!!!!
Monique's interview with Steve Harvey many years ago is one that sticks with me to this day. When Mo talked about the integrity game, I knew right then and there she'd suffer and it would take years for her truth to do her justice. I myself worked as a private tutor. After teaching for 2 years with stellar academic results, I asked for a raise. Unfortunately the parents and I didn't see eye to eye, so we parted ways, seemingly on peaceful terms. But my old students in that class started saying that I was overcharging, which I speculated to be spoon-fed to them by their own parents, and one of the moms actually called me something along the line of arrogant to my face. The paradox here was that, even though they labelled me with various negative epithets, they were actually willing to pay other teachers the same rate that I had suggested, along with extra gifts on special holidays. And after one year and 3 replacements of teachers, they called me up again. The moment Mo talked about not succumbing to higher authority, I knew what would unfold. I also knew that, although she was able to start the conversation, her voice would not be heard, because she was perceived by most to be the underdog, the disposable, the "you should be happy just to be invited". Years have passed Mo. I don't think things can ever be made right. You cannot relieve the years the have past, along with all of the joy and glory they could have bestowed upon you. I do hope that, as you continue this journey, you'll get your piece of mind.
Monique is right. When you speak up, they have a problem with a person telling the truth. That is a definitely an issue even on government jobs too. Something need to change. People that are in Higher positions create problems for us alike Monique speak about. I love her truthfulness.
And let me just say thank you so much Shannon for your Club Shay Shay platform I truly enjoy it and I wish you nothing but Blessings on your success❣️💐
I remember when Monice complained about unequal pay and people made it seem like she was a diva or ungrateful which was just not true. I think it was so shocking when Taraji said it because she is a leading lady in her own category, she really brings money to movies and tv just on her name and Katt Williams said it best that there was no one that could replace her in these roles. She is the best at what she does and to hear she wasn't making money is shocking
Always thought it interesting the way that prior to Oprah granting Iyanla Vanzant a show on her network, Iyanla chose to publicly apologize to Oprah merely for attempting to have a talk show, independent of Oprah- an act that shouldn’t have required a public apology and expression of gratitude for the friendship; despite the fact that they were both accomplished, their interactions appeared to be very unequal. The next time I viewed them together, if I am not mistaken, Iyanla was providing viewers a tour of the upgrades to her home that Oprah had paid for as a friendly gift, with Iyanla profusely expressing gratitude to Oprah for the gift of friendship and housing upgrade. I remember thinking at that time: real friends don’t provide gifts and conduct joint announcement of it, and that I had never witnessed seen Oprah doing this for her long-time friend Gayle King, unless Gayle mentioned it first. I did not know how the “game” that truth-tellers like Mo’Nique refer to, was played, but I understood that Iyanla did. That’s why I did not understand when it appeared that Iyanla left Oprah’s network complaining about the guests that appeared on the show and and the followers of the show Oprah gave her, holding her accountable for her treatment of the guests for ratings; it seemed clear when Iyanla unnecessarily apologized to Oprah before being granted the show on Oprah’s network, that she knew what she was signing up for and exactly how the game was played.
He has to give snippets in order to gain intrigue. Who is going to sit through almost 3 hours of Monique and Sharp without a vested amount of interest? The interview is about as long as watching the Titanic. Sharp knows what he's doing, he didn't start the podcast yesterday. Every successful podcaster does it or allows a sample of their content from Joe Rogan all the way down.
You must not have seen what happened with Katt’s interview. Trust, Shannon and his team what they’re doing. This format is working…that’s why they keep doing it.
Some people are missing something in these comments. Yes you agree to the pay but you don’t agree to be mistreated. Not everything is in the terms like getting food and a lunch break. (One of Taraji discrepancies) Some things should just be automatic. Also you have to work. They can speak out and try to make a change within the industry without sacrificing their financial well-being.
@@saferides2474Most actors (regardless of race) are NOT getting millions of dollars per role, which is why the least these studios could do is make sure the experience is luxurious. 😂
@saferides2474 if they was making millions they would never have needed to strike at the end of last year for studios to pay actors full scale. Why do you think they have a union?
I want to take the time to compliment the Production work on this show. The camera work is on point, and the colors and depth of the image are poppin'. The lighting compliments the guests... they are not washed out and bright or too dark. The sound is pristine. The set is inviting. it's not just the interesting content... the production value is high. Kudos to the Production Team.
At first, I didn't believe what Monique was saying, but now Kat Williams, Taraji??? Thanks to Shannon for allowing Monique to continue to tell her truth.
I always believed Monique right from day one! She had no reason to lie. It’s not easy to come out and say these things against the rich & powerful- to call out people that can destroy your career. See what Will Smith did to Janet Hubert
Having a job/career does not mean only learning a skill, ability or trade. It means knowing the industry, knowing the region, knowing the compensation rate for your skill and experience for where you are at and what the industry is looking for at that time. At my last job, there were three managers, one left and my boss and I were moved up in leadership. Then my boss left and i was not moved up, even tho i had more experience than he did when they moved him up to GM. I said Ok, stayed quiet and went looking for other employment. After 4 months I got 2 offers and both were better positions than my current one. Now im GM Stop crying and go make something happen. If its not your company or business then you have no control and have to work within the system that exist. Dont cry about a offer that you took
I always believed Mo'Nique from the very beginning. She's speaking all facts right now...she standing on her integrity strong...I love that in her. Mo'Nique is Beautiful

Sounds like that was good strategy to me by the organization when you take emotion out of it.
One thing about Monique is she is always going to “speak her truth “ I love that about her 🔥❤️🔥
Its not “her truth” its THE TRUTH!!
She aint never changed her story one bit… Why?? Cause the Truth never changes
She doesn't SMH.
🤣😂 Recording Tyler Perry phone call and asking him to pay her for 12 years of not working. Yeah. Sure.
Lol yea ok yall just some fake fans go look up how she acts on set then you will see y she cnt get other acting job
Oprah and Tyler P. You all are iconic figures in African-American eyes. You gave us “HOPE”. We the people help you make it to where you are today. I will not support anything they touch until they make it right!!!!!
Being exposed can't look at them the same way but hollywerid been going on forever
👏👏👏
FACTS
Mo'Nique is such a beautiful soul. The movie industry is missing out on such talent. God will continue to bless you and your family.
Celebrity culture is falling apart
Lies tend to cause distortion. The truth is being revealed.

Preach the truth Monique as you always do! GOD bless you and family!
"Hes a tool box with all the tools Mo'Nique needs" Unc. Be killing me lol 😂

Keep schooling them Mo!!! Class and dignity ❤
Whoopi "could have schooled" her. Oh no...I know Mo'nique went in on her when she said that to her. Remember that?
SHE IS 10000000000000000000000000000000% CORRECT.. IT IS WHAT IT IS
Listening to the conversation I appreciate the broke life even more 😂
💯
Yeeesss😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Don't do that fam. Lmao. I don't wanna be broke. But I don't wanna be rich at the cost these mfs talking lol
This isn’t about rich or poor. It’s about a system of enslavement and the treatment of people. This happens in every workplace everywhere
Shannon,’s show is the new TRUTH SERUM…!😂
Still treating us like slaves. Does anybody remember when Prince used the “Slave” symbol to represent what they were “trying” to do to him!!!!
Goofy.
Yes!!!
Where? Please let me see I wanna know
Monique's interview with Steve Harvey many years ago is one that sticks with me to this day. When Mo talked about the integrity game, I knew right then and there she'd suffer and it would take years for her truth to do her justice. I myself worked as a private tutor. After teaching for 2 years with stellar academic results, I asked for a raise. Unfortunately the parents and I didn't see eye to eye, so we parted ways, seemingly on peaceful terms. But my old students in that class started saying that I was overcharging, which I speculated to be spoon-fed to them by their own parents, and one of the moms actually called me something along the line of arrogant to my face. The paradox here was that, even though they labelled me with various negative epithets, they were actually willing to pay other teachers the same rate that I had suggested, along with extra gifts on special holidays. And after one year and 3 replacements of teachers, they called me up again. The moment Mo talked about not succumbing to higher authority, I knew what would unfold. I also knew that, although she was able to start the conversation, her voice would not be heard, because she was perceived by most to be the underdog, the disposable, the "you should be happy just to be invited". Years have passed Mo. I don't think things can ever be made right. You cannot relieve the years the have past, along with all of the joy and glory they could have bestowed upon you. I do hope that, as you continue this journey, you'll get your piece of mind.
I love Monique!!! Strong woman... we are always attacked because we speak the truth!
Always

@@BUMPY_G_JAXON I think he should have stopped her to expound on that statement.
@@sherubawon1 if you don't understand you got a lot of living to do 🙏🙏🙏 no disrespect.

Nothing but truth spoken ❤by my sis.
Monique
Much respect and love 💕 to you and your family .
This whole interview had me sitting here eating 🍿 mo never disappoints
Appreciate Monique on this one! Her tone and delivery is on point and well received!❤😊
Monique is right. When you speak up, they have a problem with a person telling the truth. That is a definitely an issue even on government jobs too. Something need to change. People that are in Higher positions create problems for us alike Monique speak about. I love her truthfulness.
Same in private industry, anywhere there's a hierarchy
This lady is speaking truth!
And let me just say thank you so much Shannon for your Club Shay Shay platform I truly enjoy it and I wish you nothing but Blessings on your success❣️💐
That’s the truth a lot of people died before they turned came and that’s truly sad
she’s a real one❤
thank you brother for your platform ❤❤❤❤❤
When are u gonna get Taraji on the show UNC or have you tried
Mo'Nique.... I stand by you sweetie! Speak your truth and let God handle the rest! AMEN!
Great interview and Mo looking like a beautiful queen 👑
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Mo'Nique speaking facts 💯
I remember when Monice complained about unequal pay and people made it seem like she was a diva or ungrateful which was just not true. I think it was so shocking when Taraji said it because she is a leading lady in her own category, she really brings money to movies and tv just on her name and Katt Williams said it best that there was no one that could replace her in these roles. She is the best at what she does and to hear she wasn't making money is shocking
I could listen to her talk all day. Her voice is so soothing and she speaks so wonderfully. You can tell her words have meaning when she speaks
I'm loving this podcast. Been having some real open o terview s and he keeps the conversation guided well. Good job Shay
Always thought it interesting the way that prior to Oprah granting Iyanla Vanzant a show on her network, Iyanla chose to publicly apologize to Oprah merely for attempting to have a talk show, independent of Oprah- an act that shouldn’t have required a public apology and expression of gratitude for the friendship; despite the fact that they were both accomplished, their interactions appeared to be very unequal. The next time I viewed them together, if I am not mistaken, Iyanla was providing viewers a tour of the upgrades to her home that Oprah had paid for as a friendly gift, with Iyanla profusely expressing gratitude to Oprah for the gift of friendship and housing upgrade. I remember thinking at that time: real friends don’t provide gifts and conduct joint announcement of it, and that I had never witnessed seen Oprah doing this for her long-time friend Gayle King, unless Gayle mentioned it first.
I did not know how the “game” that truth-tellers like Mo’Nique refer to, was played, but I understood that Iyanla did. That’s why I did not understand when it appeared that Iyanla left Oprah’s network complaining about the guests that appeared on the show and and the followers of the show Oprah gave her, holding her accountable for her treatment of the guests for ratings; it seemed clear when Iyanla unnecessarily apologized to Oprah before being granted the show on Oprah’s network, that she knew what she was signing up for and exactly how the game was played.
Y’all be just typing 🤣😭handle your business like you want too. Nothing apologizing. We don’t know what was said or done behind the scene 🎬
Shannon is getting really good @ this interviewing thing!
I love these ladies Monique and Tarija they are both so strong so human so real stand up ladies get your needs met
Shout out Mo'Nique. Always been top tier 🔥❤️
I AGREE with everything she said. It is what it is. Get out emotions. 🔊 Speak up!
Give the main interview a chance to build more views. So many clips dropping in a short span of time is taking away from the full episode.
I agree
He has to give snippets in order to gain intrigue. Who is going to sit through almost 3 hours of Monique and Sharp without a vested amount of interest? The interview is about as long as watching the Titanic.
Sharp knows what he's doing, he didn't start the podcast yesterday. Every successful podcaster does it or allows a sample of their content from Joe Rogan all the way down.
Exactly @@seedking40
I think the clips still count towards the full interview's views.
You must not have seen what happened with Katt’s interview. Trust, Shannon and his team what they’re doing. This format is working…that’s why they keep doing it.
Even in the darkest of the night, a speck of light still shines through.
Monique is telling no lies❤ love you Monique
Some people are missing something in these comments. Yes you agree to the pay but you don’t agree to be mistreated. Not everything is in the terms like getting food and a lunch break. (One of Taraji discrepancies) Some things should just be automatic.
Also you have to work. They can speak out and try to make a change within the industry without sacrificing their financial well-being.
They getting millions they don't need no break get people to bring it to you
@@saferides2474Most actors (regardless of race) are NOT getting millions of dollars per role, which is why the least these studios could do is make sure the experience is luxurious. 😂
I agree 100%!
@saferides2474 if they was making millions they would never have needed to strike at the end of last year for studios to pay actors full scale. Why do you think they have a union?
That is a woman with a very, very strong character!!
I want to take the time to compliment the Production work on this show. The camera work is on point, and the colors and depth of the image are poppin'. The lighting compliments the guests... they are not washed out and bright or too dark. The sound is pristine. The set is inviting.
it's not just the interesting content... the production value is high. Kudos to the Production Team.
She’s speaking facts
Love her, you can see her beautiful soul. God Bless Mo’Nique and her husband.
She right she been right. Everything she said makes sense .
Monique said “Name ‘em!” I felt that. I love it.
This is the year of Shay Shay interviews!
She talking! I’m proud that she has been able to stand up and fight back
When she start smiling or laughing it makes me flash back to The Parker’s where she was always smiling and being so funny
Don't call them out, call them up. I love that
One day I'll be able to have this queen on my show.
“We’re not calling them out, we’re calling them up.” Absolutely
At first, I didn't believe what Monique was saying, but now Kat Williams, Taraji??? Thanks to Shannon for allowing Monique to continue to tell her truth.
I always believed Monique right from day one! She had no reason to lie. It’s not easy to come out and say these things against the rich & powerful- to call out people that can destroy your career. See what Will Smith did to Janet Hubert
But why would you not believe her, but believe that buffoon Katt Williams?
Yep so did I ...my heart has always hurt for her ! @@flourish5blessing424
@@flourish5blessing424it's sad because it's almost always the less melanated people doing it
Brought a few tears to my eyes. She speaks truth and I love every minute of it.
I love this PODCAST. Keep bringing the truth my brother.
Her message is POWERFUL WOW WOW
Having a job/career does not mean only learning a skill, ability or trade. It means knowing the industry, knowing the region, knowing the compensation rate for your skill and experience for where you are at and what the industry is looking for at that time.
At my last job, there were three managers, one left and my boss and I were moved up in leadership. Then my boss left and i was not moved up, even tho i had more experience than he did when they moved him up to GM. I said Ok, stayed quiet and went looking for other employment. After 4 months I got 2 offers and both were better positions than my current one. Now im GM
Stop crying and go make something happen. If its not your company or business then you have no control and have to work within the system that exist. Dont cry about a offer that you took
I always believed Mo'Nique from the very beginning. She's speaking all facts right now...she standing on her integrity strong...I love that in her. Mo'Nique is Beautiful
RESPECT TO YOU MO'NIQUE.🙏❤👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌👏👏👏
Kudos to you Miss Monique, you are DEFINITELY speaking the truth, God bless you!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
