Speaker 4: W is podcast club Shashae has been straight up buzzing
ever since that Cat Williams interview dropped. He's been lighting
it up with some seriously wild conversations and let's just
say a few big names in the industry are probably
sweating right now. The gossip is flown like crazy, especially
when it comes to Oprah and Tyler Perry. Given that
Shannon had been rumored to have a rocky history with
both Oprah and Tyler, it's no shock er that fans
are convinced that they're out to get him.
Speaker 2: And y'all want to guess who's right in the middle
of this, Monique. That's who.
Speaker 4: See Monique dragged Oprah and Tyler into this mess when
she went on Club Sha Shay and Homegirl dragged them
for Phil. And now that to have been set up
with this SA lawsuit, all fingers are pointing straight at
Oprah and Tyler. So what exactly did Monique say about
them in the podcast? Let's break it down. Shannon Sharp's
lawsuit has been a hot topic in the past couple
of days, and baby, when I tell you that he's
been getting dragged, he's been getting dragged for Phil. He
even had to step down temporarily from his duty at
ESPN and there are rumors that it might become a
permanent exit. Oh and that one hundred million dollar deal
he was about to sign for Club Well, let's just
say that it's pending at the moment because sponsors don't
want to get mixed up in this kind of drama.
At this point, people are as Shannon was set up,
and it didn't take long for Oprah and Tyler Perry's
names to pop up. Even though there's no hard evidence
to suggest that they had anything to do with it.
Kat William's interview on Club Shashay was messy, but things
really hit the fan with Monique pulled up to and
went all the way in on Oprah and Tyler Perry.
That interview has more than fifteen million views, So you know,
Oprah and Tyler probably solid and let's real pat them
in the best light now if you're not up to speed.
Monique's been beefing with them for years. The drama goes
back to when Tyler Perry asks her to promote the
movie Precious for free. Monique refused, and who can blame her?
Nobody wants to work for exposure, But instead of respecting
her decision or cutting her check, Tyler and Oprah allegedly
started spreading rumors labeling her as difficult, which ended up
getting her blacklisted. When someone like Tyler or Oprah starts
calling you difficult, that kind of label can seriously mess
up your career. And that's exactly what happened to Monique
because people when the industry started avoiding her like she
was a liability. Now, Tyler has always denied having anything
to do with it. He said more than once that
her career problems weren't his fault and that she's just
trying to shift the blame by bringing his name into it.
Speaker 2: But Monique has him back down.
Speaker 4: She stood by her claims that both Tyler and Oprah
had a hand in damaging her career, and when she
sat down with Shannon on Club Shasha, she laid it
all out, accusing Tyler of blackballing her and then lying
to her face about it like nothing ever happened, right, And.
Speaker 5: He said, I can see the pain in you, and
I can hear it, and I want to let you
know that I would never do nothing to hurt you.
But the conversation kept going on, only for Tyler Perry
to admit he did start a rumor that I was
difficult to work with. He lied, only for Tyler Perry
to admit I was wrong, and when my movie Boot
come out.
Speaker 4: She also claimed that Tyler promised that he was going
to fix the situation and get people off her back,
but he never.
Speaker 5: Did, only for Tyler Perry to admit I was wrong,
and when my movie Boot come out, I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 4: She then claimed that she had an audio recording of
Taler Perry where he admitted to starting the rumor that
got her black ball and admitted that it wasn't a
fair thing for him to do.
Speaker 5: Well, we sent you the audio of Tyler Perry. I
don't want you to take me at my word. I
want you to hear his words.
Speaker 3: And what did you hear that man saying? What did
you hear that man saying? He said it? What did
he say?
Speaker 1: Is that.
Speaker 3: Moteney?
Speaker 6: You know you're not supposed to be recording people.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, let me back up. Everything we
did was legal.
Speaker 5: And here's where a black woman really gets the kick
in that had I not recorded Tyler Perry, then it
would have been my word against his, and then on
top of that, it would have been he's so powerful.
We can't even pay no attention to that. Well, now
I have him on audio, which is legal to do
where we live, right, Okay, we have him on audio,
and do you know what?
Speaker 3: Some people then said, why would you record him?
Speaker 5: Just like you said there and said, you know what's
illegal to But did you hear what the man said?
I a violated you, I mistreated you.
Speaker 4: According to fans, she really said what needed to be said.
For years, people have been calling Monique Liar a troublemaker
and pretty much dragging her name through the mud. So
the fact that she got tirled to admit everything on
tape Genie's move and like she mentioned, it's not illegal
to record someone where she lives, a lot of fans
feel like if Tyler had known he was being recorded,
he never would have owned up to spread in those rumors.
She also got rid about how much damage it did
to her and her family. According to Monique, she lost
out on a round ten million dollars worth of work
because of all the behind the scenes sabotage.
Speaker 3: Over a lie and a rumor.
Speaker 6: Is he gonna is he gonna make a call? He's
gonna compensate you for that?
Speaker 3: I want you to look in your camera.
Speaker 5: Yes, and I want you to talk to Tyler Perry
because you heard what that man said, So ask him.
Speaker 3: Will he compensate my family for that? Tyler?
Speaker 6: Will you come on club Shayshay and let's have a
conversation about the fair compensation for what transpired between you
and Monique. You can sit right here, and she's sitting
right here, and you and I can have a conversation
and we'll do you one.
Speaker 3: Better and give me five on that, baby.
Speaker 2: But it gets even messier.
Speaker 4: According to Monique, there were a few folks in the
industry who actually tried to go to bat for her.
Speaker 2: They reached out to Tyler's to help smooth things over.
Speaker 4: At first it seemed like they had her back, but
then they suddenly went radio silence, just disappeared. Monique says.
They stopped returning her calls and completely goes.
Speaker 3: To her, which only mean even more shady with this
whole situation.
Speaker 5: And some of the people that Kat talked about, ironically,
I have issues with those same people. There were people
that reached out to Tyler Perry on my behalf, okay,
and I was grateful for that.
Speaker 3: Okay. There was Al Sharpton, the Reverend Al Sharpton, civil
rights leader. I sent him that audio. He listened to it.
Speaker 5: He said, baby, what that man did to you is wrong,
and you're like my daughter, and we're gonna have to
get him to fix that.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: We didn't hear from l. Sharpton for six months.
Speaker 5: The next time we saw Al Sharpton, he was on
a podium talking about we don't need to fly commercial
because we can fly Tyler Perry's private jet.
Speaker 3: I said, that's why maybe I'm not hearing back from him. Okay.
Speaker 5: Then we had our beautiful sister, Stephanie Mills. Yes, okay,
who is she?
Speaker 3: Don't play? Yes right?
Speaker 5: I told her what happened since her to audio. Now
don't know if she listened to that audio or not.
But however, she called Tyler Perry. She said, Monique, Tyler
Perry does not want to revisit this. Okay, fine, While
we're on the phone, Tyler Perry calls her back and says,
I will meet with Monique, but not with her husband.
Speaker 3: Then you ready for this?
Speaker 5: And now Monique has to apologize publicly to say Oprah
I had nothing to do, was messing up her career.
Speaker 2: So, from the way it looks, Tyler wasn't just spreading rumors.
Speaker 4: He was also allegedly flipping people who were actually in
Monique's corner, Folks who were ready to speak up for
her suddenly went quiet after talking to him. And if
that wasn't enough, he had the nerve to ask her
to apologize to him, like, sir, you're the one who
blackballed her.
Speaker 2: Girl, the audacity is off the charge.
Speaker 4: But Tyler wasn't the only one catching heat because Oprah
got it even worse. Monique's interview just so happened to
drop right when Oprah was already getting dragged online for
low balling Taraji p Henson. That time was brutal because
fans took that as a green light to start digging
up older Oprah probably thought was long forgotten.
Speaker 2: See, right around the.
Speaker 4: Time that Monique was being black balled, Oprah shaded Monique
for having negative energy, saying, it's a law that if
you meet negative when negative, you would just have a
combustive negative force of energy. You can't meet negative energy
where it is. You have to rise above it. You
have to transcend it. I would never stoop to try
to meet somebody where they are negatively, don't care who
they are. After everything went down, Monique pretty much got
iced out. People in the industry started avoiding her, not
because they had a problem with her, but because they
didn't want to risk upsetting Tyler or Oprah. When heavyweights
like that turn against you, it makes people think twice
about working with you. But credit where it's due. Monique
didn't stay quiet. As soon as she realized she was
being blackballed. She started speaking out and calling people out directly.
She wasn't about to let it slide or pretend everything
was cool when it clearly wasn't.
Speaker 2: Here's the wild part.
Speaker 4: Monique told Shannon that after all the back and forth,
she only ended up getting paid.
Speaker 2: Fifty thousand dollars for Precious Now.
Speaker 4: Sure to everyday folks like us, that might sound like
a lot of money, but in Hollywood that's barely enough
to cover her hair, makeup, glam teams, and everything else
that comes with being in the spotlight. Then ad being
expected to promote the movie for free on top of
all of that, and you start to see monique side
of the story. Actors Robin Lee even broke it down once,
saying that about eighty percent of what actors makes go
straight to taxes, agents.
Speaker 2: Lawyers, managers, you name it.
Speaker 4: So when you do the math, Monique probably walked away
with something like tenk. And it may Oprah look really bad.
And if there's one thing we know about Oprah, it's
that she does not like looking bad. Well, fast forward
to Shannon's essay lawsuit and fans are now wondering if
Oprah and Tyler Perry has something to do with it,
and given how embarrassing. Monique's interview was for them. It
explains why fans feel like they might have something to
do with Shannon's legal troubles. Chow, This is a lot,
but do y'all believe that Shannon was set up? Or
do y'all think he really did what he was being
accused of. Drop your thoughts in a comments, then check
