Mo’Nique is still fuelling the fire of her years-long feud with Oprah Winfrey.
During a recent stand-up show, the comedian slammed the OWN Network founder, calling her a “raggedy b***h” and chanting “f**k Oprah Winfrey” to the audience.
“I love that black raggedy b***h,” she ranted, per a video obtained by TMZ. “I love that black simple-minded motherf**ker. I love Oprah Winfrey’s black a** and we just need to bring her back to black.”
Mo’Nique, 56, then asked a member of the audience named Melvin if they were a “fan” of Winfrey, 70. When they replied, “Yes,” the comedian said, “OK, well I’m not apologising for a motherf**king thing I say.”
The Precious star then encouraged Melvin to have sex with Winfrey so he could bring her “back to black.”
Mo’Nique said people are scared to say what she says “out loud.”
“I’m too motherf**king old to be scared of this b***h,” she confessed. “I’m too old to be intimidated by this b***h. I’m too old to hold the motherf**king truth!”
A rep for Winfrey did not immediately return our request for comment.
Mo’Nique has been vocal about her disdain for Winfrey and Tyler Perry over the last few years, claiming they blackballed her from Hollywood.
In February, the Queen of Comedy star reignited her feud with Winfrey when she said she felt “betrayed” by the billionaire mogul.
“See, when I speak about Oprah Winfrey — and let me be clear I love that sister — I speak about that woman because she’s spoken about me,” she said on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast in February.
“And when you begin to speak about me privately, I’m going to speak about you publicly,” she added.
“You’ve been unfair, you’ve been unjust and you watched a black woman be thrown under the bus and you said nothing.”
Mo’Nique said she noticed Winfrey began to get roles that were originally offered to her.
Additionally, the Oscar winner took issue with Winfrey interviewing her brother Gerald Imes, who admitted to molesting her as a child, and her estranged parents on her former talk show.
“We never talked about my mother being there,” she told Sharpe, 55.
“I understand it. But you betrayed me, sister.”
