Roland Martin Tastefully Thrashed Mo’Nique Via Twitter

Mo’Nique has been on a crusade the past couple of weeks in an attempt to garner support for the fight against gender and wage equality. Unfortunately, media personality Roland Martin caught a stray shot from Mo and instead of turning the other cheek he decided to clap back with a fully loaded clip.

Originally responding to Mo’Nique’s original tweet questioning his track record for aiding women:

Brother Roland please listen we getting ready to do press. I appreciate your fight, however where is your fight for EQUALITY when it comes to your sisters. Let's talk brother.

— Mo'Nique Worldwide (@moworldwide) January 26, 2018

He decided that he had time to pull receipts :

Mo’Nique, the fact that you are even asking the question about what I have done to fight for equality and sisters shows you don’t know. I don’t talk about it. I DO IT. Have done it my whole career. I don’t need to talk. I put in the work https://t.co/6Gv3PHa03C

ANYONE who watched my @tvonetv shows #WashingtonWatch and #NewsOneNow know that. They know who I put on as guests; panelists; even guest hosts. You don’t want to go there with me. https://t.co/6Gv3PHa03C

But again, Mo’Nique, you really need to address the email @JawnMurray read that he said was from @willpowerpacker to your husband. That is damning. It spoke of how you mistreated the crew, men and women. Either you did or you didn’t. Speak to that. https://t.co/6Gv3PHa03C

I don’t waste my time in silly tit for tats. But Mo’Nique, you gonna have to own up to your stuff too if you want others to. That @EBONYMag cover you were on with @chrisrock and @IAmSteveHarvey? I conceived that issue. I was told the photo shoot was a horror because of you. https://t.co/6Gv3PHa03C

See him read her for filth on the next page:

So here is my final point, Mo’Nique: you are 100% right about Black women, Black men and other people of color getting paid top dollar. But how we treat others impacts how we get paid. Now ask yourself, is it you or every other major Black Hollywood player that’s the problem? https://t.co/6Gv3PHa03C

Is it you and your husband, or is @leedanielsent @Oprah @tylerperry @willpowerpacker @DavidETalbert and others the problem? Your talent is immense. But life ain’t just about who has talent. It’s also how we treat everyone else. THAT’S also equality. https://t.co/6Gv3PHa03C

— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) January 26, 2018

I sat with you on @tvonetv where I discussed the issue w/you and @leedanielsent and Precious. I listened and heard you out. So why all the drama with Almost Christmas, where you were brilliant! You should have gotten lots of roles after that. Ask yourself why you didn’t? https://t.co/6Gv3PHa03C

— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) January 26, 2018

Was it because of what @willpowerpacker said in the email @JawnMurray read? Seriously, Mo, you gotta ask yourself the tough questions too. Let’s all get paid our worth, but let’s also demand excellence in how we interact.

He wasn’t done:

I don’t derive anything from a back and forth. You’ve said your peace. I’ve said mine. I’m going to continue to fight for economic equality for Black men and women, and I wish you good luck in your pursuits. Holla!

— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) January 26, 2018

Y’all keep saying to call @moworldwide. I don’t have her number. Never have. I don’t have personal axes to grind. I’m not being rude or disrespectful. But I will be honest. I wish her all the best. Now I’m taking off from Denver for KC and this funeral. Y’all be blessed!
