Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast emerged as an outlet for comedians to air their grievances. A month after Katt Williams’ viral appearance on the show, Mo’Nique took shots at Tiffany Haddish in an interview with Sharpe on Wednesday (February 7).
Mo’Nique brought up Haddish’s past legal issues, which included DUIs and a child sexual abuse lawsuit, in response to remarks from 2018. Mo’Nique defended her husband while bashing Haddish.
“I remember our beautiful sister Tiffany Haddish did an interview with GQ magazine,” Mo’Nique said. “And this, in my humble opinion, is where we keep throwing each other under the bus. You’re doing an interview with GQ magazine – and I’m assuming the journalist was a white person – and the conversation turned to Mo’Nique. And she said, ‘Well, I don’t do business like Mo’Nique do business. And I’m glad I don’t have that husband of hers.’ And when I saw that it’s like Tiffany, if you had a husband like mine, you may not have two DUIs.”
She continued, “If you had a husband like mine, you may not be caught up in what looks like you could’ve been grooming a child. And I say all of that with no judgment. But when you speak about having a husband like mine, you open up the door. And I’m saying to you, if you had one like mine, you may not sit in these positions that you can’t explain the next day.”
Haddish mentioned Mo’Nique’s husband while discussing Netflix in a 2018 interview with GQ. Haddish dismissed Mo’Nique’s call to boycott the streaming service.
“My business run different than her business,” Haddish said. “I don’t live her life. I don’t have that husband of hers. I’m looking at how [Netflix has] opened up so many opportunities for Black females and comedy. When my people are dying, that’s when you gonna catch me protesting. I’m not gonna protest because somebody got offered not the amount of money they wanted to get offered. If you don’t like what they’re offering you, just no longer do business with them.”
Haddish wasn’t the only celebrity to face Mo’Nique’s wrath in the chat with Sharpe. Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey were among the notable names spoken of in the Club Shay Shay interview.
