Mo’Nique’s Open Letter To Tyler Perry

First and foremost, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Angie Stone’s family and loved ones.

Sister Angie, we stand on the shoulders of elders like you, and your fight for fairness inspires us to continue the conversation.

Dear @tylerperry,

I recently watched your heartfelt speech at Angie Stone’s funeral, where you passionately spoke about the injustices she faced in the music industry.

Your words struck me—and my husband, Sidney—but also brought to mind some unsettling contradictions in your actions toward me.

1️⃣ You condemned Angie’s mistreatment, but labeled me “difficult to work with”—despite never actually working with me. How can you advocate for fairness while perpetuating the same treatment? We have audio of you admitting you were wrong.

2️⃣ You asked, “Where’s the money she’s owed?” Well, where’s the public apology you promised me in 2016? The false narrative you fueled blackballed me, costing me tens of millions. Where’s the restitution for that?

3️⃣ You spoke about being “tired” of Black artists not getting what they deserve. Yet, you asked me to promote Precious for free—without a contract, without compensation. How does that align with your message?

4️⃣ You preached about treating “children of God” with care. As a man of faith, where is your responsibility to act with love and truth? You assured me of an apology years ago, yet it has never come.

Unlike the music industry, which you rightly criticized, we have audio documentation of your actions. Shouldn’t you be held accountable, too?

I truly hope your words at Angie Stone’s funeral inspire you to right the wrongs done to my family and me. You have the power to do so.

As you often reference scripture, let me leave you with this: “What will it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?” (Mark 8:36)

We await your response.

With love and respect,
Mo’Nique & Sidney
