After weeks of online feuding, Queen of Comedy Mo’Nique apologizes to one of the Kings of Comedy D.L. Hughley and his family.
Mo’Nique & D.L. Hughley’s Beef
As mentioned, Mo’Nique’s apology arrives after much back and forth between Mo, D.L., his wife LaDonna Hughley, and their eldest daughter Ryan Nicole Shepard.
Things first began when Mo’Nique took to the stage in Detroit for a comedy show, featuring both she and D.L. During her performance, Mo’Nique alleged that she was the headliner.
After a few shots tossed back and forth at each other on social media, Mo’Nique took a jab that might have been perceived as one “below the belt.”
In an attempt to strike a nerve, Mo brought up D.L.’s youngest daughter’s sexual assault incident with a family friend.
At the time, Mo said, “I find it funny that DL will call out ICE CUBE, KANYE, RIZZA ISLAM, ANGELA STANTON, MYSELF ETC., but he won’t call out the name of the person that violated his daughter. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SAID I JUST NEED TO LET THINGS GO!”
Mo had been referring to an incident in 2015 when D.L. appeared on Sirius XM’s Shade 45 and told spoke with host Sway about Bill Cosby‘s rape allegations.
During his sitdown with Sway, D.L. seemingly admitted to not believing his own daughter when she finally shared with him that one of his close friends has sexually assaulted her.
He said, “The reason it hits home to me is because my youngest daughter said something happened to her, and because it was somebody I liked, I didn’t believe her. I’ll never get that back. I’m supposed to protect her. I’ll never get that back. She told her father something, and he didn’t do nothing about it because it was inconvenient.”
After Mo drug the situation back up recently, D.L. addressed it and called it “the final straw” in his public feud with Mo.
