Monique has gotten into a nasty dispute with fellow comedian D.L. Hughley, and like always, she is not holding back. During a performance in Detroit for 105.9 Kiss FM’s “The Comedy Explosion” show, the Academy Award-winner claimed she was removed as the headlining act in favor of Hughley. “The motherf**king contract said that a b***h (points to self) is the headliner,” Mo’Nique exclaimed in a video from the show. “But a [expletive] named D.L. Hughley turned into a bitch and said ‘I won’t perform if she does that.'”
Following Mo’Nique’s accusations, Hughley took to Instagram to address the debacle directly. “All you have to do is check the order of names on the ticket stub from last night and you’ll see who’s confused,” Hughley wrote. The stand-up comic went on to explain that while he was warned about working with Mo’Nique, he chose to “take a chance” on the former talk show host.
Mo’Nique then commented on Hughley’s post and demanded the comedian reveal the details of his deal agreement. Hughley obliged, posting a deal memo for the show and wrote: “HERE IT IS IN BLACK & WHITE!” Following Hughley’s post of proof, Mo’Nique shared an agreement alongside written exchanges between her team and the show organizers, which stated that she would be the starring act. It seems even showing the receipts won’t be enough to settle this dispute.
