In a striking turn of events, comedian and actress Mo’Nique has publicly criticized entertainment mogul Tyler Perry following his remarks at the funeral of singer Angie Stone. Perry, during his eulogy, expressed his outrage at the music industry for failing to provide Stone with the financial recognition she deserved throughout her career. He lamented the unpaid royalties Stone was owed, highlighting the broader issue of financial struggles faced by artists in the industry.

However, Mo’Nique seized the opportunity to address what she perceives as Perry’s hypocrisy. In an open letter shared with the public, she extended her condolences to Stone’s family while underscoring her own grievances against Perry. Mo’Nique pointed out the contradiction in Perry’s speech, questioning how he could denounce the mistreatment of Stone while having labeled her as “difficult to work with” despite never collaborating with her.

The actress reminded Perry of a promised public apology from 2016, which she claims has never materialized. She stated that the false narrative surrounding her has led to significant professional setbacks, costing her millions. Mo’Nique also highlighted the disparity between Perry’s critique of the industry and his request for her to promote his film, “Precious,” without compensation.

In her letter, Mo’Nique implored Perry to take responsibility for his actions and to correct the wrongs done to her and her family. She referenced biblical teachings, emphasizing the importance of integrity and accountability. As the entertainment community reflects on the legacy of Angie Stone, the dialogue surrounding fair treatment and recognition for artists continues to resonate, with Mo’Nique’s pointed words serving as a call to action for change within the industry.
