Mo’Nique Slams Oprah Winfrey in Scathing Open Letter for Supporting Accused Rapist Harvey Weinstein

mo'nique, oprah

*Mo’Nique is coming for Oprah yet again… and this time she’s putting the media mogul on blast over her friendship with accused rapist Harvey Weinstein

The comedian took to Instagram to share an open letter in which she calls out Winfrey for not supporting Weinstein’s accusers in the same way she supported Russell Simmons’ accusers. 

“Russell and Harvey are accused of the same thing so in fairness how do you not “support” the accusers of both as you said you did with R.S. or you look for the silver lining for both like you said you did for H.W.?” she wrote.

Take a look at her full letter below.

Dear @oprah, I felt compelled to write you this open letter after observing the disparity in the way that you seem to treat people, who were accused of the same allegations. You did an interview on the CBS Morning Show and were asked about Harvey Weinstein by Norah O’Donnell, and you said as it pertained to him that you “always try to look at the Rainbow in the clouds, whatever is the “silver lining”. You also said “if we make this all about Harvey Weinstein then we have lost the moment”. When you either are, or were going to be a part of documentary on Michael Jackson, and Russell Simmons, how is that not making it all about them? Interestingly, Brother M.J. was acquitted, and deceased, so how is he not off limits? Russell and Harvey are accused of the same thing so in fairness how do you not “support” the accusers of both as you said you did with R.S. or you look for the silver lining for both like you said you did for H.W.? The only difference between the two is there skin color and doesn’t H.W. have way more accusers? My personal experience with you is you’ve watched me as a black women be accused of being difficult for not promoting “Precious” internationally for Lions Gate, at Lions Gate, Tyler Perry and your request, despite the fact my deal was with Lee Daniels Entertainment. And, how are you for black women when you hear Tyler on audio saying I was right and he was going to speak up but you or him still haven’t said a word? When I was sixteen and I meet you at your local show in Baltimore, I told you I wanted to be just like you when I grew up. You responded, “ you have to work really really hard”. My sixteen year old self didn’t know that you in your silence in the face of wrongdoing, would make my life “harder”. Lastly, please consider standing by the people who are right and not just the “right people”. Love you to life, Mo’Nique

We previously reported… in a new interview with ajc.com, Mo said she’s open to reconciling with Winfrey, Lee Daniels and Tyler Perry, but only if all three apologize to her publicly.

When asked why she wants a “public” apology, Mo’Nique explained, “Because it’s not the same if you tell me I’ve done nothing wrong privately but won’t say it publicly. I have an audiotape of Tyler Perry saying, ‘You’ve done nothing wrong.’ But he hasn’t said it publicly. Oprah privately told me I did nothing wrong. They have to do this publicly so the public can see just how the powerful operate.”

Don’t miss her new comedy special, “Mo’Nique and Friends” when it airs Friday, February 7 at 10 p.m. on Showtime.
