In a lengthy Instagram post featuring Perry’s speech, the comedian questioned how he could condemn the entertainment industry for mistreating Stone while allegedly doing the same to her.

“Dear @tylerperry, I recently watched your heartfelt speech at Angie Stone’s funeral, where you expressed frustration over her mistreatment by the music industry. It struck me, and my husband Sidney, as poignant, but also made us reflect on some unsettling discrepancies in your actions towards me,” Mo’Nique wrote. “You expressed anger over Angie’s mistreatment. Yet, you labeled me ‘difficult to work with,’ despite never having worked with me. How can you condemn poor treatment of others when you’ve imposed the same on me? We have audio of you admitting you were wrong.”

Mo’Nique and Perry’s long-standing feud dates back to 2005 when she refused to participate in a press tour for “Precious,” a film executive produced by Perry and Oprah Winfrey. She explained that since she was not being paid for promotional appearances, she declined to attend, including skipping the Cannes Film Festival. According to Mo’Nique, this decision led to her being blackballed in the industry, a claim she has repeatedly asserted over the years.

The comedian also criticized Perry for failing to publicly apologize to her, despite his recent remarks about artists being denied fair compensation.

“Where’s my public apology that you promised in 2016? The false narrative you perpetuated helped blackball me, costing me tens of millions. Where’s the restitution for that? You mentioned being ‘tired’ of us not receiving the benefits we deserve. Yet, you asked me to promote Precious for free, without a contract or compensation, which highlights your double standard,” she continued.

Before her passing, Stone had publicly accused Universal Music Group of withholding millions of dollars in earnings, forcing her to continue performing to make a living. At the time of her death, it appeared that these financial disputes remained unresolved.

As of now, Perry has not responded to Mo’Nique’s latest remarks.
