Daniels told TMZ that the Precious actress was disrespectful, wrong and out of pocket for speaking out against him and others.
According to Newsweek, Daniels said he never understood the motive behind Mo?Nique?s allegation that he called her following her Oscar win in 2010 and told her she had been blacklisted in the industry, considering how well they worked together while filming Precious.
But rolling out has obtained exclusive emails that seem to back up Mo?Nique?s claim. According to the emails, which include a longtime colleague and friend of Daniels, Simone Sheffield, it was, in fact, Mo?Nique?s Oscar speech that really made things sour with Daniels. During her speech, Mo?Nique thanked everyone who worked on Precious but did not personally thank Daniels.
According to these exclusively obtained emails, this oversight of recognition is what caused the movie director to grow tired of Mo?Nique.
It reads in part, ?? watched M [Mo?Nique] win the Oscar and NOT thank her director. That was the loudest slap in the face EVER!!!!! The omission spoke volumes in this town?.and cut Lee to the bone.?
It was after Mo?Nique?s Oscar win that she claims Daniels called her and informed her she would be ?blacklisted? in the industry ? a claim Daniels has denied.
