Mo’Nique has been on quite the crusade of late as she tries to rally up the troops for her Netflix boycott.

And while this time she’s campaigning against perceived race and gender bias, the episode has seen her bring up an earlier issue with Oprah Winfrey and Lee Daniels.

Stressing Hollywood’s bigger with under-compensating, she has been re-treading her time promoting ‘Precious’ as an example.

Indeed, as many will remember, the comedienne demanded to be compensated from the film studio to promote the movie internationally. She would later go on to claim that Daniels (who, together with Winfrey, tried to convince her to participate in promotion) let her know that she had been “blacklisted” due to her lack of compliance.

In a new interview to promote ‘Wrinkle In Time,’ Winfrey was quizzed about it squarely.

See what she had to say, as well as Mo’s response below…

Kandi Burruss may have bowed out from a full-time stint in the Xscape reunion, but that doesn’t mean she’s done with music.

The ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ mogul, who is currently starring in ‘Chicago’ on Broadway, is seizing the moment to release a new song.

Christened ‘Fake People,’ the lyrics read like a confessional right from ‘RHOA.’ Indeed, she sings:

“I can’t f**k with fake people. They always want something for nothing, but they ain’t doing nothing for me.I can’t f**k with fake people, smile in my face (no doubt) while you’re plotting on me.”

When Tyra Banks‘ ‘America’s Next Top Model’ impacted the world in 2003 it did so in a world in which its audience was silent…at least for the most part.

Today, thanks to social media and the voice it has given consumers/viewers, that has all changed.

What this means for Banks’ entertaining but occasionally baffling show? Trouble.

For, said viewers are now using social media to remind the super mogul that they haven’t forgotten about the way she and her team of judges treated the show’s contestants.
