Taraji P Henson Calls Out Oprah After She Blacklists Her Like Monique?

Taraji P. Henson’s recent revelations about her experiences filming ‘The Color Purple’ have sparked a fresh debate, with Mo’Nique offering a dissenting perspective on Oprah Winfrey’s involvement.

In a candid interview, Henson shed light on the challenges she faced during production, from pay disparities to substandard working conditions. While she credited Oprah with addressing some of these issues after a call, Mo’Nique sees things differently.

Mo’Nique, known for her outspokenness, minced no words in her assessment of Winfrey’s actions. She criticized Winfrey for not championing the cause of black women on set and suggested that her intervention came too late. According to Mo’Nique, Winfrey’s position of power should have ensured that these issues were addressed from the outset.

Joined by her husband Sidney Hicks, Mo’Nique emphasized that the responsibilities of a producer, like Winfrey, include ensuring that the cast and crew are properly taken care of. She argued that Winfrey’s involvement should have preempted the need for intervention, implying that her actions were reactive rather than proactive.

Mo’Nique’s remarks echo her longstanding grievances with Winfrey, dating back to their fallout over the film ‘Precious.’ While Mo’Nique has since reconciled with director Lee Daniels, tensions with Winfrey persist.

As the debate rages on, the industry grapples with questions of accountability and representation, with Mo’Nique serving as a vocal advocate for change.
