Mo’Nique Reignites Feud with Tyler Perry Over Emotional Tribute at Angie Stone’s Funeral

Mo’Nique has once again taken to social media to reignite her long-standing feud with Tyler Perry, following his emotional tribute to Angie Stone at the late singer’s funeral. The Oscar-winning actress posted an open letter on her social platforms, addressing what she perceives as contradictions between Perry’s public advocacy and his private actions toward her.

In the heartfelt letter, Mo’Nique directly calls out Tyler Perry for comments he made during his eulogy for Angie Stone, questioning his commitment to fairness and accountability. She outlines four key issues, including the infamous “difficult to work with” label Perry allegedly gave her, his unfulfilled promise of a public apology, and past mistreatment she claims she endured while promoting Precious.

Mo’Nique’s Open Letter to Tyler Perry

Mo’Nique’s open letter begins with condolences for Angie Stone’s family, before addressing Perry directly, expressing her disappointment over what she views as hypocrisy in his actions. Here are some of the key points she raised:

1. Contradictions in Advocacy: Mo’Nique criticizes Perry for condemning the mistreatment of Angie Stone, while labeling her “difficult to work with” without ever working with her personally. She mentions having audio evidence of Perry admitting he was wrong.

2. Unfulfilled Promises: She calls out Perry for asking, “Where’s the money she’s owed?” and counters with, “Where’s the public apology you promised me in 2016?” She accuses him of fueling a false narrative that blackballed her in the industry, costing her millions.

3. Unpaid Work: Mo’Nique challenges Perry’s message of fighting for fair treatment of Black artists by pointing out that he asked her to promote Precious without a contract or compensation.

4. Calls for Accountability: Mo’Nique reminds Perry of his faith and previous assurances of an apology, noting that he has failed to act with love and truth.

She concludes by referencing scripture, urging Perry to reflect on his actions and make amends. “What will it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?” she quotes from Mark 8:36.
