In a 2026 Instagram post, Mo’Nique revisited a 2018 *The View* clash with Whoopi Goldberg, accusing her of hypocrisy over film promotion and industry backlash.

In a March 2026 Instagram open letter, Oscar winner Mo’Nique revisited a 2018 *The View* clash with Whoopi Goldberg, questioning Goldberg’s criticism of her refusal to promote *Precious* internationally. Mo’Nique, who claimed her contract required only domestic promotion, said she felt pressured and bullied by industry figures and was later blackballed. She highlighted a perceived contradiction, noting Goldberg’s own 1993 legal dispute over a film role where she denied a verbal commitment. Mo’Nique challenged Goldberg to reflect on whether her current advocacy for justice is genuine or influenced by alliances with powerful figures, expressing disappointment that a woman of color criticized her on a platform meant to uplift women. Goldberg has not responded.
