Monique and Oprah’s relationship took a major hit when Oprah invited Monique’s abusive family on her show without Monique’s consent. Monique had always looked up to Oprah, but this move left her feeling betrayed.
Oprah never apologized for her actions, and this personal betrayal hurt deeply. Monique’s career also suffered due to her refusal to accept unfair offers, like the low deal she got from Netflix. She pushed back and eventually settled a lawsuit with them, not backing down. Monique’s fight was about more than just herself; it was about ensuring fair treatment for others in the industry.
