D.L. Hughley Vs. Mo’Nique: A Sad Day In Comedy

Even though it has nothing to do with me, it’s really hurtful to see ‪@DLHughley1010‬ and Mo’Nique beefin’. D.L. is one of my mentors, and I started out in comedy with Mo’Nique, and all this makes my nerves bad.

My late father used to say, "There's a time and place for everything." "There's your way, and there's the right way." Mo'Nique may be 100% right, but she handled it wrong. Now, she has no credibility, regardless of what went down. Every time you turn around, she's in another scrap with somebody. She's gotta look in the mirror and face the one constant in her problems.

[@yahrayanaarah6891]

How is it she’s 💯% right but needs to look in the mirror??? Make that make sense dude. She’s out spoken nothing wrong with that! She stands in her truth nothing wrong with that! She has plenty credibility! What has she said or done to discredit her????? Everyone who has wronged her had to come back and apologize go figure!!!!!!!! DL is a pompous azz pretentious af hiding behind the wing he has shown himself for whom he really is!!!!!

It's crazy how a female or a male puts their energy into making a better way for you to come through instead of the B.S. they went through for you to be great without going through the B.S. that you think they are wrong. She is fighting and letting those coming behind her not go through the B.S. and she needs to know when and where it's a time and a place for it. looks like she isn't the problem we are. just my two cents

He had a video with Luenell and other comedians and they broke it down. If it was an issue she could have went to the promoter but everything here and the flyers supported what he was saying. If they were both good it didn't matter who went first or last because the show was successful and crowd had a good time.

I think there was more to the story behind the scenes. If Monique was supposed to headline then the artist schedule, the ticket stub, and the marketing flyers should’ve showed that. Yes she had a contract, but for DL to get in his head that he was the headliner it’s the promoters who made the flyers and schedule who fucked up. I believe there was definitely sabotage involved.

Monique might be going through some challenges with her mental health. Being cast out of the entertainment industry may have done some damage to her emotionally and mentally.

How Long y'all think this should be by a person who keep using my babies I'm doing this for you???? Black women really???? So what y'all saying it is ok to KEEP publically calling out these people who are not ACTIVE doing anything to her. I am not saying g it didn't happen to her what I am saying is Mo when you gonna heal and get back to the Mo we can lmaoooo with? DL made a point there are people trying to escape the pain we seeing in this world and now it is all about you and yours. Make the people happy and move on. She was dead ass wrong PERIOD hoe many times we gonna hear all your pain. Kevin Hart did stand up made millions off his pain and guess moved on. Chris Brown after the Rhanna thing LEARNED who was his friends in the industry guess what moved on, Eddie Murphy had issues with SNL guess what he moved on. Mo has not and that is the problem she is rooted in bitterness and u forgiveness. Lesson too you CANNOT ASK AND DEMAND FORGIVENESS AND THEN DON'T FORGIVE either that is not how that works. When you do the healing then her tone and the respect she so demand will also be there and it isn't over 50 and still ranting needs to be checked. You don't see Halle Berry, Viola Davis who advocates for better pay act a damn fool Grow up!!!

Thank you, it seems no one wants to acknowledge and properly apply this scripture. Which leads me to: 2 Timothy 3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents,ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

[@decaturdtp]

But let us not forget Matthew 18:16-17. "But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that 'by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.' And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. " I watched the clip of Monique and there's no telling what was said backstage. But Monique made a point to mention the contract. She also mentioned the promoter was janky and if the promoter is as bad as I sometimes see Uncle Rickey complain about with some of his shows recently; then there may lie the source of the problem. If D.L. had cowardly actions backstage then he deserves to be called out. Nobody tells him to stop when he calls out people and goes too far with his jokes. And if you've watched D.L. you KNOW he can take it WAY too far. Does that make Monique mentioning his wife and family right? NO. When you got an issue with someone your issue is with THEM. Give all the smoke to them but leave the family out of it. I'm pretty sure D.L. said some disrespectful sh*t to Monique and it made her click out. We as black people gotta stop enabling bad behavior of our friends, family, etc. And that goes for BOTH sides. If you outta line, you just outta line and need to cut it out.

This is sad that adults can't resolve an issue without social media. Rickey is right it doesn't matter the order. sometimes the person that goes on last lose the audience because people leave early. Going first and going last are usually the position in which you don't have the full audience. Monique should've learned from her last falling out that playing this out in public is not a good look for her. Thank you Rickey for being the adult in the group because obviously others cannot. I hate that she dragged D.L. to that level!

Back in the day you had to try to sell this kind of stuff to Star Magazine and The National Enquirer for it to make headlines. And it would take more than a week to hit the newsstand. Now people just get a dopamine high from seeing all the views and likes from the stuff the post on social media.

Love ya brother, you always have a common sense solution to most situations.

Weighing up comedian etiquette and show business. It is always good to have the level head person around and be able to talk out the situation/ or bring the good competitive atmosphere. Whatever happens it is what people need to hear.

I didn’t agree with Mo’Nique’s approach at all. I must say though everything Monique has brought to the light a receipt was given. She’s never brought anything to the light without a receipt. Monique has the contract on her IG. DL posted his Deal Memo. I’m looking forward to everyone getting along.

[@georgehood6635]

She shouldn’t mentioned his wife and kids..

[@MillionaireHoyOriginal]

She posted a contract that was drawn up by her company. He posted a memo posted a day after contract, which makes it more up to date. The issue seems to be with the promoters, and miscommunication/confusion. She alleges that he changed things at the last minute, but the flyers, tickets, showtimes, etc. All have him as the headliner. Regardless of any of that, this situation could have been handled better and privately - and without getting as personal as it did.

@@dianejohnson2644 that's an opinion that it was "light", I don't see ANYTHING light about joking about someone's medical condition, it's bullying. Just because you don't think it's a big deal don't mean others and the person that is was said to thinks that....you know better. You're too old to sit here and say something like that....you can't have a double standard and you know that...stop making excuses...it just simply looks ridiculous and manipulative.

If the contract says that d.l. Hughley is headlining, the schedule says the d.l. Hughley is headlining, and the pay says that d.l. Hughley is headlining, and they both signed the same contract, what's the problem? I'm sorry I'm not seeing a both sides here. What's the point in a contract if you're not going to abide by it? I think it's a nice sentiment to say okay, regardless of what the contract says, you can go first, but that's not how business is supposed to operate when you have a legally signed contract, agreed to by the promoters and both parties management. This is about business, and who can put the most people in the seats. I only saw one person calling the other one out of their name and that was Monique. Like DL said, first Lee Daniels was the problem, then Tyler Perry, Oprah and Netflix. I'm only seeing one common denominator here. You mean to tell me she's always right and everybody else is always wrong? 😳 I'm sorry I'm not buying it. This is not a both side situation. Monique's side is the only one that decided to air this dirty laundry instead of handling it behind the scenes like an adult. This is a lesson learned for d.l. Hughley to never f*** with her again. Period.
