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].

I'm sorry to hear about the rift going on between Ms. Mo'nique and Mr. Daniels but that's typical of Black people to have drama going on. I'd probably hate the messenger (Mr. Daniels) for telling me what I'd already heard through rumors ( being Blackballed ). Ms. Mo'nique could always go back to comedy. Personally, I love the both of them and pray that the two of them can resolve the matter soon!
