Representative public comments
Monique = 3.3 million views in 18 hours Kat Williams = 4+ million views in 19 hours Shannon = keep on winning Unc
When she said “Oprah is our sister, she just gotta come back across the street” I dieddddd😂😂😂
Katt Williams made that chair more comfortable for truth tellers
Who came back after the allegations? Monique and Katt warned him.😭😭😭
Why aren't we talking about just how articulate and eloquent Monique is? She is a good listener and waits for her turn to speak. Rarely interrupts the host and just makes conversations easy. Its rare these days.
I see a lot of people saying Club Shay Shay messy because of Katt Williams and Mo’Nique’s interviews but I think we should actually stop calling people speaking up and speaking out against professional mistreatment they’ve faced messy. It’s not messy, it’s necessary.
