Mo’Nique Tells Fans She Will Not ‘Celebrate’ Steve Harvey’s ‘Demise’ [VIDEO]

*Mo’Nique and her husband, Sidney Hicks, addressed Steve Harvey’s removal from NBC during a recent episode of their podcast, “Open Relationship.”

Mo previously appeared on Steve’s daytime talk show where they had a tense discussion about her Hollywood blackball claims. There were even rumors that Harvey and Hicks nearly came to blows on the set. Perhaps this is why folks were prompted to tag her on social media about the cancellation of Steve’s show and his replacement as host of “Little Big Shots.”

As noted by Baller Alert, the “Precious” star said the memes and posts have been celebratory in nature, which she is not about to co-sign.

“We do not celebrate what appears to be someone else’s demise,” the Oscar-winning actress said on her show. “We do not stand and applaud and say ‘Yeah, look what’s happening,’ ‘That’s what you get.’ That’s not where we’re coming from. That’s not a stance we’ve ever taken,” Monique said. She continues, “So what I would ask y’all to do…we gotta love our folks through it.”

Sidney noted the fear of “speaking up” in the entertainment industry is why he and his wife will always defend “their people.”

“It’s a difference between people doing things because they’re diabolical and they’re mean and terrible people,” he said. “And it’s a difference between them not buying into the fear that’s been purposefully put into our community that says man, if you speak out Id rather know what I’m going to get from these people thank try to speak up for equality and then not know what’s going to happen.”

Sidney and Mo believe the “system” of white supremacy is what makes Black entertainers spew out-of-pocket statements about their own people.

Do you agree?

Mo’ Nique said “it’s really hard to circumvent the system.”

“That’s why you have to have a foundation. Because without that foundation, the system will whip your ass…when the foundation is not strong y’all, we get lost in it,” she added.
