Mo'Nique Defends Roseanne Barr, Claims She Isn't Racist

Mo'Nique DEFENDS Roseanne Barr: "What people don't know is when you call this woman a racist, that was the woman that was fighting for the black promoter." Mo'Nique has MUST-HEAR words for those who have condemned Roseanne as a racist.

[@ryanburton5783]

She isn't racist...nice that Monique stood up for her !!

[@paulalittle5824]

Mo’Nique is truly a STRONG Black woman with enormous character…. God Bless you Mo’Nique

[@alejandromolinac]

Most people didn’t think of Valerie Jarrett as a black woman in the traditional sense….. And people forget all the “fishy” crap with the Middle East that administration had…..

[@graham5208]

Rosanne is as racist as they come, and anti-Semitic. Monique is an idiot for defending her. Maybe Roseanne shows a different face to her.

[@graham5208]

This makes me sick!

[@nikkix2896]

She’s 100% right

[@ricosuaveon2]

God bless you for your honesty!

[@dr.100purrscent5]

She is telling the truth!!! It was even evident in her writing from the old Roseanne show. Roseanne made a mistake, how many of you make mistakes? I do ✋ all the time, but I know what I am and I know what I am Not! Roseanne knows who she is, and her real fans know what she is NOT. She isn't racist, but the people who smoke and mirrored her that way for that quick moment ARE.

[@Whitneypyant]

So making racist jokes about black women not once but twice is a mistake

[@subg8858]

Well the character she was referring from POTA had white skin, so…Entirely reasonable she didn’t know she was black considering she compared her to a white skinned character. And that character is actually cute to be honest

[@subg8858]

arrett and Barr look like they could be related. Roseanne probably thought she was jewish. I mean come on, she looks like a jewish granny

[@madelinerene6805]

I have so much respect for Monique...I always liked her. Now it's signed, sealed and delivered! She's my girl!

[@SScott-nr9vl]

Why you're looking at is called courage and integrity and most people in Hollywood and most people around Roseanne had none. She was thrown under the bus but no damn reason. She called a woman she thought was Iranian a monkey and she does look like one. She just happened to be black and she was made an example of not Jimmy Kimmel or Joey Behar who have done blackface but Roseanne. A woman who has bipolar and was on Ambien at the time. She wasn't canceled she was destroyed and I think it's disgusting!

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Monique is amazing, I like Roseanne I stand behind her

[@Lori-lp6uc]

Roseanne is the voice of the people. People who have no voice and those who are being silenced.

[@lford05]

I knew she wasn't racist when she told that joke, I saw a picture of the woman she was talking about, and she really did look like what she said she looked liked. She wasn't canceled becuase they thought she was racist, she was canceled for being an outspoken Trump supporter.

[@kcar8974]

All of this is true and I'm not a trump supporter at all. So many celebrities have said and done much worse.

[@angelminaj617]

[@user-qx9wv3xf6u]

I hope this beautiful sister joins Roseanne on her new journey with FOX.

[@whylogicalthinking]

Even on the Roseanne show, Roseanne beat the shit out of her child for being a racist. If you don’t remember that episode, I might be conflating two episodes, but I’m pretty fucking sure it tied into the fact that she was trying to correct that behavior, and she went overboard because her dad beat her, and these are all stories from her life so

[@530MAIDU]

I fully support you Monique...you are a Vocal, Amazing, and the Tweet was taken out of Context... f you take the time to listen to her on the Candace Owens Show..you’ll hear the Whole TRUTH and Nothing but the Truth... God Bless you Monique! I’m Standing and continuously posting my SUPPORT in you defended no your actions, as other Women of Color SHOULD... Whose hasn’t Sinned Cast the First Stone. Hmmm🤔🙏🙇🏻‍♀️👏🏽🎤🔑💌

[@steelmagnolia5936]

I recently saw an episode of Roseanne’s podcast here on YT that featured Mo’Nique as her guest. It was clear that she and Monique have had a genuine friendship for years and really care about each other. They are both two women who are going to speak their minds. I respect that but timing and delivery are really important.

[@ralemc1960]

Monique is truth and stands behind what she believes. That is hard in this day in age when you can lose everything.

[@Matuatay]

I love Monique for this so much. In todays climate, it takes balls to stand up for someone when the MSM has it out for them. Monique could have just stayed quiet and let the chips fall where they may for Roseanne, but instead she took a stand for her friend at a time it could have backfired on her. Will always love and respect her for this. Very brave and classy lady. We should all be so lucky as to have a friend like this in our lives.

[@jasonpaz]

Claims?

[@karaanne8929]

Everyone needs a friend exactly like Mo’nique in their lives.

[@cdubz265]

Personally I don’t know of any Black person that views her as a racist, we never cancelled her the media execs did she just made a mistake like we all do in life in addition she has always been known to have No Filter which most Black people that I know appreciate from her. However from a business standpoint ABC Disney would have gotten backlash if they would have kept her on board after the statements that she made especially when sponsors and advertising come to play so she pretty much sealed her fate there.

[@izzythegreat7712]

The problem with commentary shows is that they don't add context to anything. It's just an off the cuff reaction - typically with the intent to drive a narrative. This exchange is refreshing and Mo'Nique is a diamond in the hollyweird rough

[@rellysunshine9665]

I never took Roseanne to be racist

[@craig3240]

I was sayingthis before blm hit it's height. She took a chance which was wrong because today people want old shows back because tv is soft now however ironically that's the result of giving viewers what they want. It's amazing a fan of Roseanne could laugh then and want now but still will be offended. It's amazing how people work now. She touched upon many things related to racism I'm her episodes. There was one that involved prejudicesor may not even know they have, as a result of growing up. It was rarer takes people did.

[@Phethephoenix]

Claims!? Def. A skewed title. She tells you the truth & still you spin it..

[@NolanMillerCollector]

I don't think someone who has done a lot of good should be totally destroyed for a mess up, mistake, bad move... Roseanne freely admits she is mentally ill. I am under the impression, like Monique said, that Roseanne has fought for inclusion of many under represented people through out her career. Her show had plenty of minorities, different sexualities, etc, and showed them in a positive light when it was still controversial. I agree, she has said some crazy and bizarre stuff, but that doesn't delete all the good she has done.

[@perfectliar724]

Mo'nique, so Netflix was racist because they offered you more money than most will see in 10 years, but Roseanne's tweet was fine because she appeared on your show years ago when she had nothing else going on? And why hasn't she spoken up for you with your Netflix mess? Why didnt she appear on your podcast to promote her show? Why didnt she get you on her show?
