!!!So there is politics even in Hollywood....Check the Report while Actress Monique is being refused role in Hollywood.
Five years after TV and film actress Mo'Nique won an Academy Award for her tour-de-force performance in the drama Precious, she finally found out why she wasn't being inundated with attractive offers like other Oscar winners.
The actress said she's learned that she was being punished for refusing to lobby the members of the Academy for votes and for not playing by Hollywood's rules.
'I got a phone call from Lee Daniels maybe six or seven months ago. And he said to me, "Mo'Nique, you've been blackballed,"' the former star of the sitcom The Parkers recalled.
'And I said, "I've been blackballed? Why have I been blackballed?" And he said, "Because you didn't play the game."'
When the 47-year-old comedian and actress asked the Oscar-winning director of Precious what game he was speaking off, Daniels reportedly declined to elaborate.
In a statement to the magazine, Lee Daniels later clarified his 'blackballed’ comment, explaining that Mo'Nique's unwillingness to actively participate in the Precious campaign in the run-up to the Academy Awards ceremony 'soured her relationship with the Hollywood community.'
Mo'Nique also said in the lengthy interview with the magazine that she got an undeserved reputation in Hollywood for being 'difficult.'Big up Monique we all still remember and love you for all your roles.
