Comedienne Mo’Nique isn’t holding back against her critics, Charlamage tha God included.

The Oscar-winning actress stopped by “The Breakfast Club” earlier this week to explain her calls for a boycott of Netflix and to confront Charlamagne (aka “Lenard”) after the longtime radio host designated her “Donkey of the Day.”

Things started off well, but the interview soon erupted in chaos as the two argued back and forth over women’s equality, equal pay in Hollywood and the undervaluing if Black women, among other things. The feud didn’t end there, however.

Charlamage posted a behind the scene video of the conclusion of their heated interview, showing the comedienne uttering a few choice words before exiting the studio.

“You know what brotha, you’re gonna hear yourself a lot from me lately. You’re gonna hear yourself around the word because we have to explain brothas like you,” she said, seemingly calling the on-air host a traitor.

“And when we watch that movie ‘Birth of a Nation,’ and we saw that man walk his wife into that master’s house … then we watched him go back and get him. That’s you.”

Charlamagne was clearly puzzled by the comparison.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
