There may still be bad blood between Mo’nique and Tyler Perry.
After Perry gave a speech to the late singer Angie Stone Funeralin which he spoke of the mistreatment he faced during his career, he wrote a long open letter to Instagram to address the “disturbing discrepancies in actions (Perry) towards me.”
Here is what he said and the telephone conversations he filtered.
Mo’nique reminds Perry his controversial past
Before calling Perry, Mo’nique shared his “condolence” to Stone’s family.
“Please know that your struggle inspired us to write this letter and that the struggle does not end with your step, as it just begins,” he wrote with a clip from Perry’s speech.
He then went to “Mr. Perry”, explaining that his speech during Stone’s funeral “caught my attention and my husband Sidney as moving, but also made us reflect on some disturbing discrepancies in your actions towards me.”
“You have expressed anger for Angie’s abuse,” he wrote. “However, you have tagged me” difficult to work, “despite never working with me. How can you condemn the bad treatment of others when you have imposed the same?
Mo’nique asked Perry about the “public apology you promised in 2016” and explained how “the false story you perpetuated helped Blackball Me, costing -dozens of millions.”
She asked, “Where is the restitution for that?”
The actress also called Perry for not paying -to promote the 2009 movie Precious While, in his speech at Stone’s funeral, he discussed being “tired” of not receiving the benefits we deserve. “
After arguing that, as a “man of faith”, Perry should defend a “responsibility to act with love and truth”, Mo’nique concluded his message by asking the multi-hyphew to correct the mistakes he has made to her and his family.
“ At the end, I hope your words from Angie’s funeral inspire you to correct the mistakes they have made to my family and me. You have the power to make it. Because you have shared biblical teaching, remember: “ What a man will win to win the whole world but lose his soul ” (Marc 8:36). We look forward to your answer. “

In the second clip, Perry tells Hicks in a playful way that he will address Blackballing’s Mo’nique’s statements on his next press tour. However, he did not explicitly agree to apologize to the actress publicly.
