Mo’Nique Didn’t Slap Steve, but Their Confrontation was Intense! – WATCH

*Steve Harvey and Mo’Nique had  their own “Come to Jesus” meeting a few weeks back that made a whole lotta news.

Rumor had it these two almost got physical with each other. Or at least was said that Mo was the one talking smack about smacking somebody.

The reality is that these two did have an important sit down … a conversation … a very HEATED conversation and, thankfully, not a PHYSICAL confrontation … on camera for the world to see. Steve invited his fiery friend to address some of the many headlines she’s been a part of in recent years. The result was a frank and honest discussion about forgiveness, race, being blackballed in Hollywood and more.

When it was over, social media decided he was the loser. Big.

Things started with Mo’Nique wanteing to express her “hurt” after learning Steve had spoken publicly about her.

“We got labeled as difficult because I said one word and that was no. I said no to some very powerful people. I said no to Oprah Winfrey. I said no to Tyler Perry. I said no to Lee Daniels and I said no to Lionsgate,” she explained on Wednesday’s show. “And the difficulty came in when people that looked like me—like Oprah, Tyler, Lee and I got to put my brother Steve on the list—you all knew I was not wrong. Each one of you said to me, ‘Monique you are not wrong’ and when I heard you go on the air and you said, ‘My sister burnt too many bridges and there’s nothing I can do for her now,’ Steve do you know how hurt I was?”

“I thought you went about it wrong. I felt that you had done yourself a disservice by the way you chose to go about it,” was Steve’s response

You’ve no doubt heard Mo’Nique complain that she was blackballed by Hollywood after she refused to campaign for her Oscar-winning film Precious without additional pay. She called out Oprah, Tyler and Lee Daniels, am ong the big names who attempted to silence her during her pursuit of equality.

On the other hand, Steve admitted that he probably should have called Mo’Nique before talking so publicly.

“I’ve got a lot of stuff going on so I didn’t. When I did call you, I listened to you,” he shared. “But I began telling you at the very beginning, I think we’re going about this the wrong way. Now we keep saying stuff in the interim that keeps making it worse….It’s making it worse. The fact that we’re sitting here arguing like this.”

Mo’Nique, however, didn’t want to call it an argument. Instead, she called it a “conversation.”

“I’ve had to understand how to agree to disagree without being upset and that’s the thing,” she added when supporting her residency at the SLS Las Vegas. “I disagree with my brother. I’m not upset with you. I love you.”

Even though they disagree, Steve wanted to make it clear that he loves Mo’Nique like a sister. He also let her know that he wants her to succeed in whatever she wants to accomplish in Hollywood.

“I hate what’s happening to you. I hate what they’re saying that’s not true. I want them to know that you are caring, that you’re a great mother, that you’re an incredible talent,” he proclaimed. “I don’t like the fact that you’ve been blackballed. You can be un-blackballed. You’re too talented to have to worry about all of this.”

Before their talk was over, Steve shared his desire to try to facilitate conversations between Mo’Nique and “these people” in hopes for open dialogue.

“These people owe you an apology. You owe those people an apology,” he shared. “Then we can move forward.”

Steve added, “Looking back on it, I should have picked up the phone and called you more readily. I probably should have done it. Moving forward, as your big brother, I just want to help you Mo. I swear to God. I didn’t come here to bash you. I love you. I wish you well and let’s heal this thing and move forward so the world can see how great we all are.”

Well, there it is. Whatchoothink? Before you answer, know this. Folks on Twitter are going in on Steve … HARD and Fierce!
