Last week Lee Daniels promised to pay Damon Dash $2 million after Damon publicly shamed Lee over a movie investment gone wrong [click here if you missed that].
Lee does NOT extend that same courtesy to Mo'Nique...
For years Mo'Nique has been accusing Lee Daniels, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry of blackballing her for refusing to promote the film "Precious" after she was nominated for [and won] an Academy Award [click here if you missed that].
Now Lee Daniels tells Raq Rants
“I fought hard for her to get that job. I wanted her to get that job. And she was paid her money.”
“She was paid the money for the budget that we had. And for her to badmouth myself and Tyler and Oprah is disrespectful and it’s wrong. She’s out of pocket. She’s really wrong.”
“I respect her [as an] actor because she gave me her soul, but I gave her my soul. And for that she was given the Golden Globe and the Academy Award … and it breaks my heart that she feels that we blackballed her. No one blackballed her. Mo’Nique blackballed her. And for her to continue to speak about Oprah and myself and Tyler is disrespectful.”
