True Or False: MoNique Threw Barbara Walters Shade During Their Interview

Posted on March 7th, 2010 - By Bossip Staff

Categories: News, True or False?, out of pocket

According to a source Barbara Walters had her work cut out for her when she interviewed Mo’Nique during her pre-Oscar special. She wouldn’t even let Barbara in her home to conduct the interview.

Pop the top for more.

According to sources Babara has been telling her friends that Mo’Nique has been her most difficult interviewee yet. Mo’Nique hasn’t been a huge fan of Barbara’s after her visit to the View in 2006 where Barbara referred to Mo’Nique’s twins as “little creatures.”

Now that she and Barbara are meeting again, Mo’Nique made it as difficult as possible for the TV reporter. She even refused Barbara to come into her home which is where Barbara usually conducts her celebrity one-on-one interviews.

Between Mo’Nique’s high hair and makeup demands and denying Barbara the privilege to come into her home, Mo’Nique made it clear that she was not feeling Ms. Walters. The producer even picked up on it and asked Mo’Nique’s husband why she was being so rude.

We can’t call it what do you all think… True or False?

probably true…i would not have given her an interview at all because of her insensitive choice of words regarding my kids…
FloRida 3/7/10, 09:20:AM

True… I don’t blame Mo.
Shemander 3/7/10, 09:21:AM

I don’t care if she IS almost 80…don’t talk about my child or family. Mo didn’t have to do the interview if she didn’t want to…I wouldn’t have let that trick in either. hmph
swirlsociety 3/7/10, 09:23:AM

this is right up there in the who cares category it must a be a slow morning
MrsPriss29 3/7/10, 09:24:AM

Well what in the heck did Barbara think would happen. You insult the woman’s kids then want a nice cozy welcoming for your interview. Good job Monique.
shonda 3/7/10, 09:25:AM

Monique should off given her a harder time. Rude woman calling her kids creatures.
miss luv 2 talk 3/7/10, 09:26:AM

If it’s true, good for Mo’nique. No one will stand up for your children if you don’t.People can say what they want to about Mo’nique, she stands her own ground. She’s been through too much not to.
dance1233 3/7/10, 09:27:AM

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at- A_ge_m_i_n_g_le @ c-o–m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.
ThatBish...yeah, that's right. 3/7/10, 09:29:AM

Mo’Nique can do what she wants…Barbaba Walters ain’t shit..been there, now she’s done. Honestly, Mo’Nique’s performance in “Precious” was so good, it would be a shock of all hell if she doesn’t win.. Go head Mo’nique, get your shine while it’s your time. Damn, I can NOT WAIT til the Academy Awards!!
bklynlady 3/7/10, 09:34:AM

I think its true as well and if so THAT RIGHT MO! Old azz cr@cker Barbara Walters…..it’s about time someone knocked her off that high horse….Why didn’t Oprah interview her?
Zulu Chili 3/7/10, 09:35:AM

Go MO!!..
bklynlady 3/7/10, 09:36:AM

I remember that show when Mo was on the view and she shut Barbara’s azz down QUICK….and Joy….she said to Joy when she tried to defend Barbara, “I feel a back smack coming on”. LMFAO…..
TRUTH IS.... 3/7/10, 09:36:AM

i could believe that!
blackguys 3/7/10, 09:38:AM

People always like celebrities, but I think those in uniform deserve more respect. They defend our country and safeguard our policy. Join blackmilitaryfriends.com, show your love and respect to our military heroes.
Shootingstar 3/7/10, 09:41:AM

If somebody referred to Barbara’s grandchildren as creatures I’m sure she would have a fit.

Good for Mo! I would have given her hell too.
Animosity 3/7/10, 09:54:AM

I just watch the video and Mo checked her but I would have have went in on her!! She’s lucky Monique did the interview. I wouldn’t have
phatgirlssuck 3/7/10, 09:55:AM

why even do the interview if you’re gonna act like that?

really can’t stand this heffa

i hope they’re no more mammy roles for her to play
red 3/7/10, 10:04:AM

children ARE creatures
maybe she’s just racist and doesn’t want white folk in her house
SIMPLY PHILLIP BROWN 3/7/10, 10:14:AM

Barbara, is truly something else. Gotta love how she makes a situation seem more about the other person then her. Always trying to play victim – GIRL STOP!
lala 3/7/10, 10:21:AM

Ok “little creatures” is what women of Barbara’s era called cute kids. “Such a beautiful creature” is also what many said about a beautiful woman. Monique was just out of her cultural ream, which explains why the shyte went over her dumbazz head.
smarteston 3/7/10, 10:22:AM

So is that a photoshopped picture?
4Real-Tho 3/7/10, 10:27:AM

Not only that…I remember when Monique was trying to land the job when Star Jones was filed and Joy was provoking and giving her a hard time to the point where Monique got pissed and said “You Know Joy We Can Do This” as in bitch you wanna a fight…now you got one. Then, Barbara interrupted and came to Joy’s aid and said “You Know Monique, people like you come and go…but We’re here to stay as she and Joy gave each other a high five like in your face Monique!” I couldn’t believe it!! Barbara Walters hasn’t invited Monique back since then.

There, I don’t blame Monique. The tables are turned and I wouldn’t give that old snotty bag of wrinkles time of day now, either!

You go Monique…give that bitch hell like she dissed you on her show. This is your time and Barbara Walters now want to give you time a day? smh. Deal with her by extending a 10 pole.
Takkyaa@hotmail.com 3/7/10, 10:32:AM

Barbara Walters doesn’t have any children of her own. She adopted one daughter who refuses to have children of her own. She may have adopted a child also…can’t remember. So we can’t say that Barbara would have been angry if someone referred to her child or grandchildren the same. Hell, she doesn’t have any grandchildren.
bimshire4life 3/7/10, 10:35:AM

that what old white folks call kids creatures. ” oh aren’t you an adorable little creature” “look at the little creature” “i could just steal that little creature” it’s a cultural difference and if monique is to dumb to know that well then why should barbara care? Ms. B is PAID unlike most female journalist Barbara doesn’t have to do this shit, she has enough money to retire. Why do some black people call women “ma or mama or mami” regardless of thier reproductive status. WTF MO get over it.
Birdman-Baby 3/7/10, 10:40:AM

Kudos to Monique…i remember when that white b*tch referred to Monique’s kids as “creatures” when she visited the view…Monique SHOULD have made that b*tch jump thru hoops as she did. God Bless u Monique!!!
ellegirl 3/7/10, 10:41:AM

I don’t know if it’s true or false. If it’s true I think Monique was being a little extra. If you don’t like the woman, don’t do the interview. Also, at her age she should know that having a bad attitude is not productive. Also, I would like to add that I can understand why Monique would have a problem with her given their history, but it doesn’t justify her alleged behavior.
Mock Rock Star 3/7/10, 10:41:AM

Maybe she’s still in character from Precious and doesn’t want a b*tch at her buzzer
memchee 3/7/10, 10:43:AM

*clap* *clap* *clap*

How many of BW’s parties have Monique been invited 2?

Barbara has the habit of acting like she can make or break you! Oprah doesn’t even carry on like that.

Monique deserves xtra cool points for toss’n shade on this one.
SnakeEyes 3/7/10, 10:49:AM

I agreee with the first comment. Just because you are barbra walters does not mean that you can be disrespectful.
Blue Eyed Angel 3/7/10, 11:06:AM

Never talk about a woman’s kids. -The End.

Barbara is so f’n old and dumb.

You’d think she would have the sense to known this by now.. Ms. “I had an affair with a married black man ..and have to tell everyone.. to sell books of course”..Barbara Walters is an old dried up b*tch.

She thought she could say that sh*t about Monique, because she never realized in her small little mind.. she would ever be interviewing Monique in this prestigious manner for the “OSCARS”..

Take that Barbara. haha
Meh 3/7/10, 11:08:AM

Couldn’t care less if it’s true or false. Barbara’s annoying and there is something i really don’t like about Monique.
daahlingnikki 3/7/10, 11:16:AM

That dry coochie b&*ch is lucky Monique didn’t grab her by that frizzy hair of hers and drag her off the set that day..I will never forget that interview…and “creatures” is not a term of endearment no matter what society or culture you come from…Best of luck to Monique tonight..No one else in the category deserves it more…
loveme lovemenot 3/7/10, 11:18:AM

Barbra Walters acts like she’s some high standard diva!! I would not give no body no interview that considers my children as litt;e creatures
capt'n backslap 3/7/10, 11:26:AM

I’ll be glad when tonight is over with and Mo’Niques fifteen minutes are up.
cher shears 3/7/10, 11:34:AM

Thats right MO! Keep that adultress thang up out your house. More people need to keep things real like her. You can tell she really guards and protects heer family. Hell I dont have “anyone” in my pad and Im just a local celebrity lol..
Bruh 3/7/10, 11:40:AM

I remember that show, and while Barbara may
not have really “meant” anything by it, or
to be insulting, the fact remains that its HIGHLY doubtful she would have referred to Angelina and Brad’s twins as “lil creatures”.
Also, its not like MoNique got ignorant, she
merely asked Barbara to “please don’t call my
kids creatures”. She didn’t raise her voice,
or anything when she said it. For those suggesting its just a term that was used in the
past, guess what? WE AIN’T IN THE PAST ANYMORE!” We used to be called “colored” in
the past, too. If Barbara had used that term, would y’all have found it equally as ok, or cool??? Only reason Barbara wanted to interview MoNique anyway, is so she could bask
in the acclaim Mo is getting now. As usual, its more about Barbara, than the interview
subject. Also, something seems “off” about the
story. If Mo wouldn’t allow Babs in her home,
where the h.ell was the interview conducted?
On the porch? In the driveway? Across the street????
whilome 3/7/10, 11:45:AM

Barbara Walters is denying all of this! She said Mo’Nique wasn’t rude.

This is some shade being thrown by Roger Friedman and some white Oscar bloggers trying to make Mo’Nique look a ghetto, black bitch so she won’t win. DON’T HELP THEM.

—————

Ya know, MoNique didn’t just come on the
scene with this performance in “Precious”,
so where is the logic behind your 15 minutes
crack? Mo was a well-respected talent who
has appeared in numerous sitcoms, as well as
having had one of her own. This isn’t even
her first dramatic role in a film, just the
biggest one she’s had thus far. Mo is WELL
beyond any “15 minutes” stage.
Butterscotch™ 3/7/10, 11:52:AM

This, AS USUAL on this site, is NOT the whole story. BOTH Monique and Barbara Walters have denied this story. Not shocking that this “pops up” on the eve of the Oscars.

Monique:
“Oftentimes we hear things that are far from the truth. Watch the Barbara Walters special and decide for yourself.”

Barbara Walters: “There was nothing about her that was rude. It’s a wonderful, funny interview. She couldn’t have been more open. If you’re not happy, you don’t answer those questions. And there was nothing unusual about Mo’Nique’s hair and makeup requirements. I can’t remember when we did an interview in someone’s house.”
REPOSITORY 3/7/10, 11:53:AM

how about not doing the interview all together?? I mean she had that choice too, instead of giving someone hard time
DeMI 3/7/10, 11:57:AM

Mo is ignorant and doesn’t deserve to win an Academy Award. I hope that there is an upset and she loses.

Name one black person who calls their mother “mami?” Because that damn sure is a derogatory term. …and if thats the case as far as old white people calling kids creatures, keep that sh*t btwn ya’ll because I’ve NEVER heard anyone black refer to a child in those terms…EVER! We as the human race are creatures, however you call my kid one and I’m smacking you. White people ALLLLLWAYS looking for an excuse to justify their sh*t…
Dunno 3/7/10, 12:11:PM

You must be one of her former “Big is Sexy” fans who feels dejected that your leader has abadoned you.

Get yo fat a!ss off the couch and work out!
WeSLyN 3/7/10, 12:18:PM

good for Mo..wow didn’t know about the creatures comment but we all know how BW can get out of pocket..like this old **** deserves any respect (admitting to and obviously being proud of sleeping around with married black senators and like Paul Mooney said on his old standup “MasterPiece”- at least she wasn’t claiming she wanted to be white at one time and kissing up like when she interviewed Oprah at her home, feet all up on Oprah’s white couch, does this white lady have any home training….
Marquis de Sade 3/7/10, 12:29:PM

I wouldn’t be surprised if ol’ Mo’Nique don’t have an “EDDIE MURPHY” moment (ala Dreamgirls) durin’ the BEST SUPPORTIN’ ACTRESS award handout, and give it to one of her competitors instead. I’d bet the look of disappointment on her face would be priceless.

Jessica-Keepin it real 3/7/10, 12:45:PM

True but Barbara is always out of pocket and Monique called her out on it prior. I heard her do an interview where she talked about why she’d never be a guest host on the view because she interupts people and she’s rude and she did call this woman’s children little creaters. It reminded me of that scene from a color purple when that white woman was like sophia’s kids were so clean and then asked her how would she like to be her made. It’s just condescending and Monique ain’t ignoring that. So no B you can’t come to my house. I’m with her.
ebonieladi 3/7/10, 01:03:PM

It’s almost the same as calling her kids little monkeys. Barbara Walters had BEEN out of pocket. While she may be well informed she is very ignorant when it comes to knowing about black people. I remember when they did the show about Good Hair and she kept insisting that black women get perms and weaves because they want to be like white women. Despite the fact that Whoopi and
Sherri explained to her that was not the case, it was more for convenience, as soon as Chris Rock came out she asked him the same question and he looked at her like “Didn’t Whoopi and Sherri just finish explaining that to you?”
She tends to get on my last nerves at times. Mo’Nique treated her liked she needed to be treated, keeping her at a distance, without being phony.
