Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Mo’Nique may have been coy last week as she took to CNN to defend herself from ‘Empire’ director Lee Daniels’ claims of her “diva” behavior, but this week we got to see a bit more of the sharp-tongued Mo we’re used to.
