Mo'Nique Talks To Ellen About ‘Precious’

[@itsnoahonfire]

Her hair is LAID like nobody's business. Everything she is saying is so raw and unapologetic. Mo'Nique is a fearless actress.

[@Pyramid132420]

Mmm, her hair, HAIR! Absolutely! Nobody cares about what she's saying. Her hair be on fleek tho!

[@Sauvageonne]

The way she's leaning towards Ellen, like "I have nothing to hide". I really admire her.

[@KatrinaSignature]

This movie was powerful she did a great job in this movie!

[@NeuRudy]

Both the book and the movie were a 10/10 for me. Usually, the book outshines the movie but in this case, both were equally well done.

[@rockyblaq510]

Aunty Mo is LEGENDARY!!

[@kcheylin9957]

She was flippin unbelievable. EXCELLENT and every bit deserving of an Academy Award. That cast was seamless

[@rollsroycequeen]

BABYYY!!! HER HAIR!!!!!❤️😍

*her!Éverything*

[@rizaharjanto9536]

You can see from her gesture in that interview, Mrs. Mo’Nique is really an appreciative person to the interviewer

[@zahedah80]

She was the star of that movie

[@LilmissChi]

Aunty Mo is so freaking underrated. Just watched Precious after years.. and I cried like a baby because there’s so much I can relate to. I read the book as a kid and that book was sadder then the movie

[@Owlsworthy]

Powerful woman, wow! I got goosebumps when she was talking about her weight, she has an amazing husband too.

[@whitsfiryellnogobyye]

"I want you for life" that's a beautiful thing to hear from your loved ones

[@xvjk5007x]

I love how Monique validates Ellen's gut reaction to her character.

[@lchau2023]

She's a phenomenal actress 👏🏻 love her! ♥️

[@zthechainz]

She's one of my favourite celebrities. I just adore Monique.

[@hyacinthneedham4560]

Her hair is nice😍

[@juanmadrid2960]

Love me some Mo’Nique! ❤

[@charlenemccracken4894]

A beautiful actress

[@kcoolmuziq]

Mo’Nique is ALWAYS so honest. So anyone that says she’s a liar is a hater.

[@billyjohn7846]

I didn't want this interview to finish ❤

[@MsTilly]

I LOVE MONIQUE SO MUCH! 💙🩷🧡💜💚💛

Not only is she super talented,she,s also beautiful 3:35

[@lilaznkid4ever]

Ellen got so uncomfortable at the end....😅😅😅

[@DeeWeber]

Thank you for your courage

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Hey Nikki Parker

[@tarag7292]

Haaaaaay! 😂

[@ejakaegypt]

It’s her autobiography

[@destinykelley7608]

Ellen was so uncomfortable during this interview lol

[@sirdeon9517]

I just wished she mentioned her oldest son when asked about the twins other than that lets go Mo’

[@moniquecleveland6597]

She has spoke about them a lot the twins were the babies at the time

[@sirdeon9517]

@@moniquecleveland6597 ma’am 😐🙄, what I’m saying is when she was asked about the twins she could have said I in fact have 3 boys .. show em all some love

[@Kalio-lo9fl]

Facts!

[@robynvercetti9476]

I can't take Ellen seriously

[@enricovankeeken1624]

*dOn´t...coming from my Beautiful 83 years YOUNG mom who says that Ellen herself has become a joke, and i agree*

[@delretadonaldson]

I agree...

[@TayTatum]

So Monique was doing promo for this moviev they just wanted more in another country

[@delretadonaldson]

Yep and didn't want to pay her for it....this movie made millions and she was paid $50,000

[@nico114334]

@@delretadonaldsonthat’s because she settled for 50,000 ain’t nobody tell her to sign that contract ! Luenell got paid. A million dollars for borat . So not every black girl has that problem .. like Vivica Fox said “ to each their own “ “IM GOOD “ 😂

[@DaveTonymusic]

@@nico114334the movie was independent when it was filmed! Monique never complained about what she was paid! She did it to support her friend on his film project! So this was not a matter of being upset about low pay!

[@williebhall]

@@delretadonaldsonThe movie was an independant film with a small budget. That is important to mention when you talk about her salary. The entire budget of the film was low. Now she could have had royalties and residuals added to her deal to offset the upfront low salary. That seems to be where her and her team failed.

[@Daskari72]

Monique is funnier than Ellen, and a delight to watch. She gets all the love and admiration.

[@joshwalton9580]

The parkers on upn

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

If this was made available much sooner I believe it would have balanced out a lot of the vitriol this legend has suffered through but that's okay; its delay makes her testimony of God's providence much greater. She literally weathered the storm of public persecution. Glad to see the sun coming out for her.

[@JanetClifton-p1i]

I think she,s beautiful just the way she is 6:09

[@ruthiesmith7403]

How could Lee turn his back on Monique, listening to how she describes him . I don't think he will ever be describe like this again in his life. How dare him!!

[@marvawells3921]

I miss the Ellen show

[@thatonepage]

man we really missed out on more from Monique because of gatekeepers

[@deniseeee.e]

Is that movie based on a true story?

[@deagle2yadome696]

the author lived thru some shii but not exactly a “true story”

[@sharoncooper4801]

Real life events if that makes sense.

[@IyaPatsyOriginalEgunlady]

4:07 no baby you should have prayed . Not party

[@rht100]

It was tough to watch monqiue in that role; so raw and so real

[@candy-sj]

The husband better be in great shape

[@713bates]

Whats going on with them hand signs at 1:16

[@kathryncotter4933]

It’s a natural position for human hands to go to sometimes

[@markiss954]

Shame she didn't add her eldest child

[@moniquecleveland6597]

She has two older boys and spoke on them a lot her twins were just the babies at that time

[@glamaris007]

Wow... she's been Daddy's puppet for years.

[@cbreez40]

This is when Monique was sweet.. it's sad hearing her story..Monique went through a lot but she too is mentally ill and it shows with how she responds towards Oprah and Tyler..

[@Imsoflys7]

U can’t tell people or understand how someone is suppose to react. I don’t believe this woman has a mental illness. You do me wrong I’ll never forget it.

[@glamaris007]

And how she speaks about her son

[@Ilove2teach52]

Wow to know at that time she had 3 kids🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

I would have been annoyed getting interviewed by Ellen . She seems so condescending with her questions

[@Dedicated2WendyWilliams]

back when Monique was unproblematic and likeable

[@TheUlitimateEdge]

But she ain't tho. She stands up to powerful people like Oprah, didn't make her wrong.

[@CharlieGoldDirector]

@@TheUlitimateEdge Oprah didn't do anything to her

[@NotCharAznable]

@@CharlieGoldDirector Oprah is awful.

[@CharlieGoldDirector]

@@NotCharAznable because she interviewed her family? That's ridiculous.

[@daronray7921]

Her abusive family, Oprah asked Mo’nique about her bringing her abusive family on the show, she said she didn’t feel comfortable with this, and oprah betrayed Mo’nique
