LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Mo'Nique has rekindled her long-running conflict with Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey with a vicious tirade during her most recent stand-up routine.

While on stage at Katt Williams' comedy tour, the 56-year-old Oscar winner launched into a verbal assault packed with racially charged remarks directed at the industry heavyweights.

This comes shortly after Mo'Nique allegedly vented her annoyance at Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and Oprah during her appearance on the 'Club Shay Shay' podcast and claimed that her color causes her to encounter prejudice in Hollywood.

Mo'Nique called Oprah 'raggedy b***h' in vicious outburst

The 'Parkers' alum attacked the OWN Network creator during a recent stand-up performance, calling Oprah and Tyler "coon motherf******" and then labeling Oprah "simple-minded" and dubbing the TV host a "raggedy b***h."

In a video obtained by TMZ and posted online by fans, Mo'Nique yelled, "I love that black raggedy b***h. I love that black simple-minded motherf**ker. I love Oprah Winfrey’s black a** and we just need to bring her back to black."

Following this, Mo'Nique, 56, questioned a member of the audience named Melvin whether or not he was a "fan" of Winfrey, 70.

In reply to their affirmative response, the comedian stated, "OK, well I’m not apologizing for a motherf**king thing I say."

The 'Precious' actress subsequently encouraged Melvin to get into a sexual relationship with Winfrey in order to bring her "back to black," per Page Six.



 

Mo'Nique went on to cast doubts on Oprah's friendship with Gayle King and alluded to their possible romantic relationship.

She said, "Every time you see f**king Oprah, you see f**king Gayle. Best friends is what they say. I’ve never seen best friends like that … Who is loving Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King? Each other."

Mo'Nique told the crowd, "I'm too motherf***ing old to be scared of this bitch. I'm too old to be intimidated by this bitch. I'm too old to hold the motherf***ing truth," as her outburst came to an end.

Mo'Nique's feud with Oprah and Tyler

Over the past few years, Mo'Nique has made no secret of her dislike for Oprah and Tyler, alleging they have barred her from entering the entertainment industry.

The ongoing conflict arose from her allegation that they blackballed her from Hollywood after she declined to attend specific press conferences for their 2009 movie 'Precious'.

She has stated in the past that she was "blacklisted" for leaving out filmmaker Lee Daniels, Oprah, and Tyler from her 2010 Oscar speech, per Daily Mail.

More recently, Mo'Nique appeared on Shannon Sharpe's podcast 'Club Shay Shay' and claimed to have a tape of Tyler admitting to criticizing her. However, Tyler has vehemently denied this.

Mo'Nique argued on the podcast that Oprah had often crossed the line, especially when she brought up Mo'Nique's brother Gerald on her daytime talk show and said she "betrayed" her.

"See, when I speak about Oprah Winfrey — and let me be clear I love that sister — I speak about that woman because she’s spoken about me," Mo'Nique said on 'Club Shay Shay' podcast in February.

She further added, "And when you begin to speak about me privately, I’m going to speak about you publicly. You’ve been unfair, you’ve been unjust and you watched a black woman be thrown under the bus and you said nothing."

This happened soon after Mo'Nique won the Oscar for 'Precious', marking the beginning of their behind-the-scenes feud which included her brother Gerald Imes as well as her parents and another brother.

The Oscar winner objected to Oprah interviewing her estranged parents and brother Gerald, who had confessed to assaulting her as a youngster, on her former talk show.

Mo'Nique stated to Sharpe, "We never talked about my mother being there. I understand it. But you betrayed me, sister."

Internet reacts to Mo'Nique's profanity-filled tirade

Social media users flocked to the comment section of the viral video to express their opinions on Mo'Nique's latest vicious outburst, with one stating, "I love Mo'Nique, but she's damn old to be still holding on to that past drama. Let it go, Mo'Nique!"

Another remarked, "And that’s part of her problem with growth these years. Sometimes you have to let that s**t go and breathe."

"I get it! Yes they wronged her and I’m not saying she should be quiet about it…but why subject your audience who paid their hard earned coins to see you to these repetitive topics," a third noted. "They came to laugh and nothing about that shit is funny or satirical in fact it’s exhausting."

Another one echoed a similar sentiment and said, "It has been 15 years since Precious movie and she is still Hating."

"I don’t think Opra and Tyler should dignify this rant with any kind of response whatsoever," suggested one.
