Mo'Nique sis if you don't just change your attitude a bit, you don't have to change your views just keep them to yourself. I need to see her on my TV more
Keep your respect Mo'nique you are undoubtedly the greatest Female Comedian of all time. **** the haters and **** what atrl has to say about you or your attitude, She knows her worth.
If she was Cookie though they'd need a different Lucious too. It would've been different, not sure if better or not but I love Mo'nique.
