Mo'Nique Claims She Was Blackballed By Hollywood After Winning OscarShe found out from director Lee Daniels in 2014. He told her that she “didn’t play the game” and eluded that her manager husband was doing harm than good to her career. She remembered from their conversation:
“Mo’Nique, you’ve been blackballed.” And I said, “I’ve been blackballed? Why have I been blackballed?” And he said, “Because you didn’t play the game.” And I said, “Well, what game is that?” And he gave me no response. The next thing he said to me was, “Your husband is outbidding you.” But he never asked me what [salary] we were asking for. You know, my husband and I had to change things so we wouldn’t have to depend on [others].
