Back in 2009 Academy Award winning actress Monique famously refused to promote the movie Precious in the run up to the Oscars [click here and here if you missed that].
Monique now admits that may have been a mistake…
In an essay written for The Hollywood Reporter Monique says director Lee Daniels confirmed her suspicions that she had been blackballed by the industry for her behavior during Precious.
Lee Daniels tells THR
"Mo'Nique is a creative force to be reckoned with. Her demands through Precious were not always in line with the campaign. This soured her relationship with the Hollywood community. I consider her a friend. I have and will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on, however the consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way with these roles."
