‘The Plug is About to be Pulled on You’: Mo’Nique’s Older Sister Issues Star Some Tough Love Amid Feud with D.L. Hughley 

Mo’Nique’s sister Millicent Imes has a message for her younger sibling following her weeks’-long feud with comedian D.L. Hughley. Several days ago, Imes took to her social media page, where she called the Academy Award-winning actress out on her online behavior and advised her younger sibling to redirect some of her anger. 

“Enough is Enough!! My Sister!! Stop the Madness!! It’s not a good look!!” Imes wrote in her lengthy Facebook post. “God has Shut you down before and believe me he will do it again!!! Let’s start by staying on topic. YOU are and have been displacing your anger on the wrong people.”

Imes advised her sister to “take heed and clean your house up because it’s DIRTY!!!” She added, “Sis, you’re coming with the same story over and over again. If nothing changes, NOTHING CHANGES!! Your career has been dead in the past and now it’s about to come to LIFE and now you are killing it again and now the plug is about to be pulled on you and YOU are about to be CANCELED, Again…This time it’s Flatline.”

Imes admitted that it was “absolutely maddening” to see the “Precious” star “embarrass” herself before getting into more personal examples. “At this time it’s a reflection on the family (YOUR TRUE BIOLOGICAL FAMILY) Not your made-up family or your WIFE!!.. But your siblings and OUR Parents. May they rest in peace are turning over in Heaven on your Earthy behavior!” she continued.  

Imes continued to slam her sister’s behavior, writing, “I see you making statements about other people’s children,” before asking, “so where are yours???” She concluded her message by saying that she believes her sister should “play nice” and noting that her message was “all coming from love.”

As previously reported, the fallout between the “Almost Christmas” star and one of the original “Kings of Comedy” star occurred following a disagreement over who was headlining a show during Memorial Day weekend. Both stars uploaded their versions of contracts they received for their performance.

However, when Mo’Nique shared a video of Hughley’s reaction to his daughter telling him about a sexual assault, things got personal. The actor responded by calling the actress a “monster.”

Things appeared to have settled down between the two Hollywood stars, though Mo’Nique has yet to respond to her sister’s memo. Curious to know more about how this quibble began? Click here

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
