New York Daily News - http://www.nydailynews.com Booted from flight, comedian accuses BY CHRISENA COLEMAN, DANIELLE WARD and NANCY DILLON DAILY NEWS WRITERS Tuesday, July 25th, 2006 TV star Mo'Nique got kicked off a United Airlines flight Sunday after getting into a spat with a flight attendant, and this time the comedian isn't laughing - she's crying racism. "I felt like I was being treated like an animal," said the 38-year-old celebrity, whose seldom-used full name is Mo'Nique Imes-Hicks. "This happens to black people all the time, and they don't have a voice. I have a voice." The "Phat Girlz" actress, rumored to be in line to replace Star Jones on "The View," told the Daily News the incident started when her hair stylist stashed a hair dryer in a first-class bin. While Mo'Nique was flying in the front of the cabin, her aide was in coach. The "Showtime at the Apollo" host said she tried to keep her cool when a flight attendant first questioned the stylist's actions. But things escalated when another flight attendant allegedly refused to believe the beauty tool belonged to Mo'Nique. "Tell your people that the next time they have an attitude, they are being thrown off. ... Since 9/11, we don't play around," one flight attendant allegedly told Mo'Nique. "Are you equating my hair dryer with 9/11?" Mo'Nique said she retorted. The exchange ended in Mo'Nique being escorted back to Chicago's O'Hare Airport, where, according to the star, a supervisor called local police to complain of a "disgruntled and belligerent passenger." "It was humiliating," Mo'Nique said. Chicago police declined to comment yesterday, but Mo'Nique said one of the responding officers was black - and eventually sided with her. "You can't do this to her," the officer told the United supervisor, according to the actress. Desperate to get to New York, where she taped two episodes of "The View" yesterday as a guest host, the actress and her entourage took their case to a sympathetic United agent at another counter, who booked them on the next flight. "We regret that Ms. Imes felt in any way that she was not treated with courtesy and respect," United spokeswoman Jean Medina said. "There was a confrontation involving a customer that caused the flight to be delayed. When a situation occurs on a flight that causes a delay, or disruption, we must act in the best interest of all of our customers." Still, Mo'Nique hopes to unite other customers in a boycott of United. "I won't [fly United again], and I hope no other black person will fly them either," she told the Daily News after venting her frustration on WBLS' "The Steve Harvey Morning Show."cco | ||

I guess she thought the rules didn't apply to her. She's not just anybody she's the fabulous Mo'Nique. I used to be a fan of hers till I saw Queens of Comedy. Paying, what was it, $700 for a fake ponytail when you ought to pay $700 to Jenny Craig and get your health together is beyond preposterous. It feeds into the "nigger rich" mentality. Give a nigger some money and he still won't know what to do with it - so let's keep 'em poor for their own good. And for her to think that Black people gonna stop flying United over her damn hair dryer, is one of the most egotistical, shallow "boycotts" in history. I wasn't there but I don't feel this was about her being Black. This was about United thinking they had a damn bomb on the plane. Why couldn't the hairdresser keep the blow dryer with her? Isn't that what hairdressers do? Sure there wasn't some Pringles in that blow dryer? | ||

Look. You're one a friggin' airplane in a POST-911 world. At least HALF the foks who fly are STILL skurred as Hell to be on a plane. So do yourself, the airlines and everyone else who fly a favor: Do what the flight crew tell you to do, sit down and shut your fat loudmouth A$$ the FUHK UP!!! | ||

Mo'Nique is a fat self-loathing black woman who downs all Black women who are three sizes smaller than she is. She eats herself into a corner(like Kola put it) and hides behind church. When she is outside of church she smokes, drinks, and curses like a sailor. Mo'Nique is sexually promiscuous with BM. She has to be to keep herself from looking in the mirror and sliting her wrist. She loves white ppl because she sees herself as so inferior them that she does not have to try to impress them. But she hates BW. Especially those who look like Tyra Banks, Beyonce, and Gabrielle Union. In her sick little mind BW who eat right, exercise, and take care of there bodies are the biggest sell-outs. She thinks that all BW should look and feel the same way she does. Mo"nique is a "modern day" Beaulah. THe only difference is that Ethel Waters was a "real lady". The white mainstream media loves Mo"nique because she is a walking minstrel show. And you can't accuse them of racism because it is Black ppl making a caricature of themselves. I think it is about time that we Black ppl should start making positive images of ourselves. And if you want someone who is full figured Queen Latifah is a much better role model than Mo "Nique is. And when I down ppl like Mo'Nique it might sound hateful but I am doing it purely out of love. I hate to see BW not take care of there health. | ||

I totally BELIEVE Monique and I support her 100%. I also think she's drop dead gorgeous, and though I hated "The Parkers"---I really love Monique's spirit, boisterousness and her images/messages in her movies. I can't imagine the courage that it takes to BE Monique in a black society that so completely hates black women and is increasingly "classist" on top of it. I adore her apple cheeks and southern accent. I also loved how she handled those SKANKS on "The View". And she was THE BOMB as "Beyonce"!!!!    I just love me some MONIQUE. | ||

Tonya, Look. I have flown A LOT in my lifetime. I've visited nearly every state in the gotdayam country. Flow nearly anytime of the day, in inclement conditions. And have ridden everything from D-10's and Jumbo jets to cropdusters. So as a person who's schleped on and off airplanes for decades, I'm telling you one of the LAST things you wanna have to deal with is some non-cooperative, loudmouth bitch like Mo'Nique. Dayam what race or color you are and how much press you get!!! Sit your greasyass down somewhere before somebody break off a section of the plane with your lardass. | ||
| Kola_boof "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Kola_boof Post Number: 2292 Registered: 02-2005 Rating: N/A |
NO---Serena, Monique does not HATE BW. It's a goddamned JOKE just like Richard Pryor's constant jokes about White people. Why can't you stupid motherfuckers appreciate any other FOOL than Richard Pryor, Bernie Mack, Chris Rock and the rest of those busted tired ass blackheads. MONIQUE is a "STAR"---not because of white people----but because of BLACK WOMEN (millions of whom are FAT---and plenty skinny, shapely ones like me)----who love to hear her talk shit and act a goddamned FOOL. She's no more repulsive than Redd Foxx. | ||

Kola I hate to say this but your reasoning is the reason why BW women are the most likely to develop heart disease, get heart attacks, and are the least likely to exercise. I've seen women like Mo"nique my whole life. And believe me it is not getting any better. What courage does it take to be Mo"Nique. Just sit around and eat hot dogs, Ding Dongs, and Peach Cobbler all day. What takes courage is to be Oprah, Gabrielle Union, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, and Angela Bassett. BW who defy societies expectations of what a BW should be. BW who take care of there bodies because they know that our white supremacist society does not want to see them be healthy and to produce healty children. | ||

ABM, Did you HEAR Monique's interview on Steve Harvey's show??? You don't have any proof that she was being anything OTHER than what she said? Monique claims that she did not act "belligerent" or "loud mouthed"----because she says that's what the stewardesses wanted her to do. She said the more she tried to comply...the nastier the plane officials became. Do you realize, ABM---how many White Women fly with BLOW DRIERS/Electrical Instruments each HOUR?? EVEN the "Black" male police officer mentioned in the article above has gone public---defending Monique's "quiet, dignified responses" and the fact that she wasn't given a chance to comply with the airline's wishes. And he also says that many White Women fly with their BLOW DRIERS and are not given any problems about it. It's a case by case basis. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO HIM, ABM??? I don't give a damn what she did. I'm on Monique's side. | ||

Yes, Serena...and because of Richard Pryor....Black Men are COCAINE Cookers, and because of Redd Foxx, black men are Alcoholics. And what is so WRONG with Beaulah that ain't wrong with Rochester? You don't give a FUCK about Monique's "HEALTH". You hate the damned woman. | ||

From the article: Chicago police declined to comment yesterday, but Mo'Nique said one of the responding officers was black - and eventually sided with her. "You can't do this to her," the officer told the United supervisor, according to the actress. That officer has since been on the radio and he says Monique acted "frightened" if anything---that she was gracious and dignified---but the stewardesses didn't know who she was, so they gave her the "Special Treatment". When Police Arrive, Monique was in tears and was kicked off the plane. Of course when a famous White Woman flies--these issues are handled DIFFERENTLY.  | ||

That type of stupid, niggerish mentality is the same type of mentality that those Black ppl had down in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama until Hurricane Katrina came and swept them all away. They would spend $700.00 on Gold Teeth, Rims, and ugly, colored weaves. But if you looked in there refrigerators who would not a drop of food to eat. | ||

Kola, As I said to Tonya, I've flown A LOT. I've flown First Class, Business Class and Coach. And I've had all kinds of luggage and shyt with me. I've never ONCE had a problem with the stuff. But, of course, I don't travel with an Entourage (Good Grief!!!) Look. First Class is a privilege section of the plane. You're not suppose to bring shyt from Coach into First Class. Did Mo'Nique's flunky have the courtesy of even explaining that what she had belonged to Monique PRIOR to her attempting to just bring the shyt? Did she ASK whether such was permitted PRIOR to attempting to do so? I don't see THAT in the article above. And, btw. I don't give dayam what your gender, race or relative wealth/fame is: You need to keep your hair curlers and dryers to your dayamselves. Who the hell want stray pieces of Mo'Nique's nastya$$ fake Korean or nylon hairs on them, anyway? | ||
| Serenasailor "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Serenasailor Post Number: 601 Registered: 01-2006 Rating: N/A |
And Kola I am not highlighting Redd Foxx, and Richard Pryor. Drug addicts who only slept with WW. I think that they are just as negative an influence as Mo'Nique. | ||

Why is it that whenever you see a brown to black woman on T.V she always looks like Mo "Nique". She fat, loud, neck rolling, and hand glued to the hip. I was watching the hit T.V show Grey's Anatomy. I was looking at the black female lead character and thinking to myself Why can't they have and attactive BW play the lead part. And I don't mean a Halle Berry, Beyonce type. Even though the lead BW character plays the chief surgeon she is a brown-skinned woman who is fat, loud, neck rolling, hand glued to the hip, finger-snappling, bitchy, and domineering BW. I'm like Damn when will these White ppl GET IT RIGHT???? | ||

I agree Serena, why not have an attractive blk woman play the role, although I've never seen the show. I've seen the actress who plays the role in my neighborhood, she walks her two cocker spaniels everynight around seven. I think she just moved into the area because I dont recall seeing her before. | ||
