Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- She has openly acknowledged that as a child, she was sexually abused by her older brother. She withheld the information from her parents for a long time, but when she finally told them, they were supportive of her. She claims that playing an abusive mother in the 2009 film Precious helped her learn how to move forward and forgive her brother for his actions. To this day, she claims that the only apology she ever received from him was "If you think I did something wrong, then I'm sorry".
  Edit Share Hide
- She does not shave her legs, and she is not ashamed to expose it. She claims that she tried shaving once, but it was so "uncomfortable" and "painful," and when the hair grew back, there was even more of it than before, so she vowed never to bother with it again. She says her husband loves her legs.

ADD QUOTES
- Mo'Nique: I don't think that anyone should be in control of a relationship. I think that if you have a woman that controls her man, he is a puppet and he is weak.
