Mo'Nique Says She 'Grew Out' of Open Marriage


For years comedian Mo'Nique had been very vocal about her decision to maintain an open marriage with her husband / manager Sidney Hicks [click here here and here if you missed that]. 

Now Mo'nique says they've grown out of that...

From The Hollywood Reporter
Hicks and Mo’Nique met in 10th grade at Randallstown High School in suburban Baltimore. “Our energies and spirits just connected,” she says. First they became best friends. Then roommates. One day, Hicks leaned toward Mo’Nique while sharing a bathroom mirror and gave her a kiss on the lips. “That’s been over 16 years ago and we’ve not been apart since,” she says. Eventually, Mo’Nique asked him to be her full-time manager. “He’s the best manager that I’ve ever had,” she says. “And I’ve had the big boys.”
On the subject of their open marriage, which they’ve discussed at length on their podcast Mo’Nique & Sidney’s Open Relationship, they say it was Mo’Nique’s idea originally, but both have calmed down with their extramarital activities. “Life began to happen,” she says. “I began to see a strength I had never seen before. He loved me at my worst. I didn’t want to sacrifice that just for a lay. So I grew out of that.”

I think Mo was insecure and didn't think she could have 100% of him and so she suggested the foolishness so she was preemptive by trying to beat him to the punch like she gave him permission. Never let your man taste another woman's nectar. That could've ended her marriage. Know you are enough and worthy if 100%.

I feel like this is a natural progression of a good open marriage. You do that for a while until you both come to the decision that it's not what you want anymore, and you make adjustments together. Glad for them.

@ 10:44 that was so well worded. Also I think that's a problem a lot of women have although many won't admit that. Me personally I wouldn't entertain the thought but that's they business. That type of thought process can tell a lot about how someone feel about themselves. This is just my opinion and nobody has to agree and I'm most def not arguing.

Nothing to say here.

When he kissed her in the bathroom, he saw "lipstick on a pig and a cash cow". Not sure how he was making his money, but it was not Mo's kind of money. I agree with poster she did that to keep him. Open relationship for her was not really a thing since nobody was trying to hit her off with no D unless they were trying to use her for coins.

Why does she keep putting her business in the streets? That’s what I don’t get. I expect more from her.

Monique is utter trash and I hate that Black Hollywood apologized to her. She never deserved an apology. She's horrible.

@7:17 baby you’re the horrible one

She got her apologies because they were owed to her
To have the feelings you do for a stranger is creepy
Get yo life baby
