Mo'Nique Recalls 13-Year Feud With Director Lee Daniels: "It's a New Chapter"

According to Mo'Nique, she never got a clear answer from Daniels immediately after their fallout explaining what had occurred. But in her 2015 interview with THR, she claimed that "six or seven months" prior, she received a phone call from Daniels in which he told her, "'Mo'Nique, you've been blackballed.' And I said, 'I've been blackballed? Why have I been blackballed?'" she recalled. "And he said, 'Because you didn't play the game.' And I said, 'Well, what game is that?' And he gave me no response."
