Mo'Nique Says Oprah 'Betrayed' Her With Show About Her Traumatic Childhood

Mo’Nique did not hold back while reflecting on her yearslong beef with Oprah Winfrey .

On Wednesday’s episode of Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay ” podcast, the “Parkers” alum opened up about the agonizing experience of finding out the former talk show host had withheld information from her in order to exploit her trauma for ratings.

In 2010, Winfrey aired an interview on “The Oprah Winfrey” show with Mo’Nique’s estranged family. The conversation centered on how her brother, Gerald Imes, sexually assaulted Mo’Nique routinely as a child .

Although Mo’Nique says that she signed off on her brother going on the show, she would have never consented to her entire family being involved in the on-air conversation.

HuffPost has reached out to representatives for Winfrey for comment on Mo’Nique’s allegations, but did not receive an immediate response.

The incident occurred shortly after Mo’Nique won her Oscar for best supporting actress in 2009’s “Precious” — a film Winfrey co-executive produced. Mo’Nique told Sharpe on Wednesday that Winfrey had reached out to her before filming to ask her if it was OK for her to interview her brother on her popular talk show.

“When Oprah Winfrey called me up, and she said … ‘Your brother wants to come on the show, and he wants to apologize to you for molesting you, and he wants to tell people how to look out for predators,’” Mo’Nique recalls nearly 58 minutes into the episode. Mo’Nique said she told Winfrey she “didn’t want anything to do” with her brother or the interview, but she was fine with him appearing on the show.

“I said, ‘Sis, don’t scratch [the interview] because he could be a different person, and I don’t want to get in the way if that cat is a different person, I just don’t
