Her Manager is the enabler; he has killed her career. It is 10 years now after Precious and she has not recovered; her reputation is still shit and the ppl she accusing/criticizing is still making billions, movies and providing for their families!! Every year her worth/value goes down. I am not understanding y she has not gone back before the camera and started making money, but seem to be on a quest of 'trying to prove that she was right and karma is a bitch". This is ridiculous! Does she have kids who depend on her? Since her attempted Netflix bycott has she sold out arenas and shows to prove her asking price and elevate her status so that when the next big company comes around, she can ask for the 20 million? No. She is a comedian and instead of finding a platform to promote her comedy, she is finding them to complain. Monetize your social media presence.Get invited to the White House, Lincoln Centre etc...do something to collect your bag with integrity. I am sick of seeing her self-destructive behaviour. In the 10 years, she has not done any thing to remedy the problem (difficult behaviour) and that is why she is still stuck. Lindsay Lohan was also placed on a blacklist in the Hollywood. What she did? Move to Australia and start a TV show. She is now a Judge on a show similar to America Got Talent. When life throw u lemons or curveballs, u make lemonades or know how to duck.

[@irisstrange5730]

@@blackfirstdealwithitblack8098 One of the reasons that keep us from progressing as a people is that we do not listen to what a person is saying. We are the only people that are quick to turn on our own, because we do not like what they are saying. I think it is a good thing that Mo'Nique and her husband are working together. They want her to get rid of him as her manager because he is a strong black man that can not be intimidated. When a black man stands up to the statis quo, they consider something to be wrong with him. For example when my husband's job transferred him to another state, they tried to say that he had a personality problem. Because he was informing fellow black employees how they were being discriminated against. Because he was in management, he was pushing for qualified blacks to be promoted. He found out about how a lot of nepotism was going on. And these people weren't qualified for the position they were hired for. But all of those black employees he was trying to help were the same ones who went and told management what he was doing. The higher ups labeled him as a racist because he was pushing for more blacks to be promoted. So I know first hand what Mo'Nique is going through. As far as Oprah, Whoopi Goldberg, Tyler Perry and others, we need to ask what have they done in the black community. Have they opened up any businesses in our communities. Instead of these corner stores that are of little value, they can invest in mini markets that offer quality food products. When you help others, you help yourself. This is why so many entertainers and athletes go broke. Instead of opening businessess where they will receive a good return on their investments, they go out and buy these extravagant homes and cars. In the end they wind up broke. I don't want anyone to think that I am anti white. Because I am not. I just want to make my community better. Also I am thankful that Mo'Nique is sharing her experiences with us. I am sorry about the long comment.

[@kentalks2818]

This is by far the best part of the interview series and the best representation of their family dynamic. The problem is that Mo’nique let her husband into a position that no one wants him in. His has control of her business steering wheel and they hate it. She stuck by him when they said he is the problem and they hate it. They wanted her to put him on the back burner and emasculate him or get rid of him altogether. She didn’t and they attempted to dog them both out. But now the access of the internet is allowing them to show what is really what. I applaud them for not falling into the trap. What they did is no different than rappers fighting for their masters and winning. It just in the world of comedy/tv/film. I stand with them. Blessings upon blessings their way

[@jamaal9911]

@@chanta6116 the only problem is it doesn't add up. Sidney seems to be a great husband for her but a horrible manager for her career. His inability to enhance business relationship have been detrimental to her career point blank. It's not about kissing anyone butt, the reality is Hollywood or the entertainment industry has long been the way it is so how much do you expect to change. He didn't have the experience to do the job of managing her career and having dual relationships rarely works. I use the analogy of going to court with a personal friend to represent you that has little knowledge of law rather than an experienced attorney. This whole ordeal has little to do with integrity, she didn't get the money that he thought she should get now it's boycott this and it's a moral thing. If she would have secured that bag she or he wouldn't be saying anything. You never burn Bridges because one day you might have to cross that same bridge.

If we care about our friends and how much work we put in to keep it, we should show that same energy with our partners.

He took a talented comedian turned dramatic actress and Oscar winner and has managed to parlay those accomplishments into chitlin' circuit work - performing in bootleg plays and telling jokes in small comedy clubs.

LaChelle Flood who says you can’t sit down as a man? I sit down at home for that same reason and half the time I’m just getting up and getting my bearings about me and I wanna be comfy... now out in public and those nasty ass bathrooms, absolutely not.

[@sekhemasaru5718]

Wow.....this broadcast explains it all....now I know the roots of their' relationship.....powerful and beautiful. I especially respect him on a greater level now, if you will. Happy for them.

[@MatthewJaen]

Thank you for posting this. All of their interview segments have elevated my understanding and breathed life into my outlook as an aspiring performer trying to navigate the business.

[@CharlesWarrenOnline]

He has a beautiful soul. Monique is sooo happy. I love it!

[@kylelucas7023]

I love them!!! This was a well done interview!! It made me feel comfortable calling them Uncle Sid and Auntie Mo' and I think that's what we really needed to see.

[@reece1929]

"We both can't stand when we pee" Wow that is deep! Thank you, I needed to see this.

[@daangelstar8819]

I love the way she looks at him it’s love admiration and respect behind it this right here is pure and I’m glad he did what he was supposed to in order to keep her protected

[@mrs.ssmith8545]

@therealmoworldwide Monique I so respect you and your husband. I think that Sidney is and will always be your best manager. He honestly has your best interest at heart and he is educated and has experience in the area. He also has enough balls to stand for what is right for you. He has integrity and that goes a long way.

[@mrs.ssmith8545]

@Killer Joe Disagree!!!!!

[@wonderfulworld7133]

Nothing but the upmost respect for Monique & her husband. Their relationship speaks volumes of respect, love & loyalty

Monique!!!! You're an amazing woman- Just wanted you to know that... love you girl

[@girlbye2341]

She really is an awesome woman Indeed.

[@pandorasbox1220]

He's using her for money - it's pretty obvious but more power to them

[@ivannamichelle7575]

@@pandorasbox1220 You don't know anything pooh.

[@samanthacastleberry6341]

I've never seen Mo'Nique smile so brightly and genuinely as when she speaks of her husband.

[@christianschuylerscott4039]

This interview really touched me deeply. This was a really beautiful interview.

[@natkatbow]

Monique you have a wonderful husband.....I pray that God blesses me with someone who protects, supports and stands up for me the way Sydney does for you

[@TheGoldenChile]

wow, beautiful, and thanks for this interview, MoNique has been getting smeared for years

[@maramac6433]

This is beautiful and looking at Monique watching him speak she glows❤️ my husband and I are watching this and we feel the love from y’all. I pray that talks marriage is unstoppable and just blessed by father in Heaven Good job Comedy Hype❤️

[@mrdefinite2455]

The way she lights up when talking about him!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@natep461]

You can be a great husband and not a good manager... HE is not a good manager! Period! Mo’Nique went from the big screen to the basement since he’s been her “manager” ... there are so many other black Hollywood managers that would have you best interest at heart!

[@bchanel25]

I agree! I'm sure Mary J. Blige thought Kendu was a good manager too, but we all see how that turned out.

[@natep461]

B Chanel CHECKMATE!

[@itsjustmemslenonlove375]

Monique your last statement hit the nail on the head. I love your relationship and trust in each other God Bless you both.

[@_Ph0enixx_]

I think it’s so sweet and beautiful the way she looks at him while he talks, she’s smiling. After all those years together, they still have that spark and that’s so amazing to me. Meeting her is on my bucket list for sure.

[@chelle315]

I LOVE what Mo' said at the end....let your husband do what he's supposed to do in the home....LEAD!

[@seriousstrawberry3064]

Love from South Africa. Love this strong couple. That is a man who can handle a strong woman.

[@jerrypetterson6539]

You can be a stand up individual, but understand business and stop belittling yourself and others due to your failure and so-called manager to comprehend negotiating. Love you sistren from the DMV as well. ☝

[@chanta6116]

You are truly capturing the very best part of Mo’nique wow! Their love story is beautiful.

[@thebeatonpath]

I have NO idea how I came across this interview series, but I LOVE IT! I had wondered what happened to Mo'Nique and now I know the TRUTH. She is so honest. I'll be checking out their podcast.

[@db60615]

Monique and Syd have the kind of relationship a lot of people dream of, but are too afraid to say they want!

[@demeatrialawhorn5220]

db60615,,,you can say that again 🙏

[@indigoGoddess7]

db60615 agree!

[@Grownwisdom717]

This is not about her husband being black, this about him being inexperienced like Mary J husband. Still he got with her after the money rolled in

[@rosegl83]

These video series of Mo'Nique and her husband is creating content for bloggers!😆Anyways, love the way you edit the videos, especially how it's ends- POWERFUL!! Is it possible to have one entire video uncut of this interview?! Great job on asking questions and allowing them to speak uninterrupted!

[@toppledoppressor2703]

I ♥️ LOVE 🖤 THIS 💚 To know someone FOREVER before money & fame etc and find your way back to each other and evolve into something more organically

[@stylefoodwithlaila4914]

I can see the love and glow on Moniques face when she talks about her relationship. However, I'm suspicious about her husband. Feel like once she got a bag, on road to success, he decided to marry. I dont agree with compromising to an open relationship. You are a queen.

[@sxm76]

People say her husband is an opportunist but her blood brother is the one who got her. We are just not used to seeing healthy relationships.

[@millybadze2117]

Exactly!!

[@danaglover1]

I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this video. I can now say that my understanding of Monique's situation has broaden. I've gained a new level of respect for her and I appreciate the respect that she has for her husband. I pray that more people will give her the support that she deserves. She is a veteran in the industry and she deserves to be recognized for the body of work she's done. I also pray that what the enemy meant for bad God will turn it into good and her come back will be stronger than ever before. Much love this this sister. P. S., I strongly believe that #TylerPerry will do what's right concerning her.

[@deweymcqueen4723]

New Mo'nique interview?? I'M HERE FOR IT!
