Mo’Nique Says ‘My Name Would Be Melissa McCarthy’ If ‘I Was a White Woman’: ‘Same Track Record,’ but ‘Opportunities Aren’t the Same’ in Hollywood
Mo'Nique said her career would be more like Melissa McCarthy's if she was white and given the same opportunities.
In one of the podcast’s most quoted moments, Mo’Nique declared that her career might’ve been as successful as that of fellow comic Melissa McCarthy had she been given equal opportunities as her white contemporaries. Mo’Nique suggested that her awards success and hit television show did not lead to a similar career like McCarthy’s, who was Oscar-nominated for “Bridesmaids” and “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” and has headlined and produced many comedy films. Elsewhere during the “Club Shay Podcast,” Mo’Nique called out Kevin Hart for allegedly falling back on his word to produce new content with her.
