In case you’re a lil’ tardy for the party, the other day comedian/actress, Mo’Nique, has pissed off a few of her fellow comedians nearly, after she blasted several of them on Shannon Sharpe’s, “Club Shay Shay” podcast.
Not all of them have responded, but one we knew good n’ hell well would is comedian/radio host, DL Hughley… and he clapped back with a vengeance at Mo’Nique and her spouse with (who have since responded, but we’ll get to that in a sec’).
During her “Club Shay Shay” interview, Mo’Nique charged Hughley of allowing his co-radio show hosts to disrespect her and dismiss her complaints.
She also touched on a feud between them stemming from confusion over a 2022 event, when Hughley declined to perform if Mo’Nique closed the stand-up special, asserting that he was listed as the headliner in the event memo.
However, as per to Mo’Nique, her contract stated otherwise. At the time of the 2022 event, their altercation took an ugly turn with personal attacks when Mo’Nique brought up the sensitive topic of Hughley’s daughter, Ryan Shepard, a sexual assault survivor. Mo’Nique asked why Hughley had spoken negatively about others but “won’t call out the name of the person that violated his daughter.”
As y’all can imagine, DL wasted no time in firing back. He took to Instagram to vehemently deny Mo’Nique’s assertions, calling her a liar. He criticized her for constantly tearing people down and then trying to always soften the blow with endearing terms like “Brotha,” “Sista,” or “Sweet baby,” stating that it’s far from “love,” as she claims it to be:
DL- “The reason lies and false narratives continue to go on and surafced is because they go unchecked. What you’re not gonna do is call me out my name and not get checked. Mo’Nique is a liar!”
He continued:
“She is constantly throwing the rock and hiding the hand. You don’t get to tear people down and then soften the blow by calling them ‘Brotha,’ ‘Sista,’ or ‘Sweet baby.’ That’s not love, far from it.”
