Mo’Nique is set to reunite with director Lee Daniels in Demon House, a long-in-development horror film that had an open slot for its lead actress.
After the fact, she publically stated that Lee Daniels was working with Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry to blackball her from Hollywood.
Previous star Octavia Spencer had to drop out due to commitments with Apple TV+’s Truth Be Told, allowing Mo’Nique to step in.
The comedian previously collaborated with Lee Daniels on 2009’s award-winning Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire, and the aftermath of that film’s promotional period created a divide between them.
