you don't worry about cancel culture huh huh why would you cancel things that are great for the culture right right like I mean like I I was like cancel like Monique why is she cancel I had to revisit that cuz it was like it didn't make sense to me and I said but you Tyler Perry and you never told anyone too actress and comedian Monique has been vifer in her criticism of Bishop TD Jake and Tyler Perry among other media mogal for many years not only has she voiced her General displeasure but she has also l specific and unsettling accusations against them charging that they support A system that takes advantage of young boys for personal benefit these are grave charges yet the public mainly disregarded or ignored them for a very long period her remarks were seen by many as the product of her desire to stir up controversy and her unhappiness with her profession but the story has changed dramatically 50 Cent a rapper and businessman has come out in favor of of Monique and her assertions 50 Cent who was renowned for his tough attitude and Readiness to confront Authority is giving Monique's charges a lot of weight not only is he agreeing with her but he's also making a concerted effort to bring attention to what he sees as an extremely concerning circumstance this goes beyond celebrity rumors these are grave accusations that could have a large scale impact due of 50 cents participation Monique's claims must must be investigated more thoroughly it's important to keep in mind that Monique has remained steadfast not withstanding all of the speculative activity economic transactions and power struggles she has been fighting Tyler Perry for years enduring rejections resistance from the industry and over attempts to silence her she's been referred to be tough resentful and worse but she has never backtracked from her charges she now has a strong Ally on her side in addition to giving her words of encouragement 50 Cent has promised to battle by her side he's elevating her voice and asking that her accusations be taken seriously by putting them back into the public eye by leveraging his position it's personal now not just about business or Hollywood Shenanigans recognizing the unfairness of Monique's circumstances 50 Cent has made a public pledge to support her in her pursuit of Justice with 50 cents connections money and unflinching resolve at her disposal when may finally have the power to Shad the glass ceiling and demand the responsibility she is due this is a story about speaking truth to power demanding Justice and standing up to oppression it is no longer just a Hollywood production all right so if you know how 50 Cent has supported Monique during this entire Tyler Perry controversy he really did take it to a new level let me tell you 50 was blown away when he attended Monique's standup give over Super Bowl weekend Yo Monique had me in a trance that show was fire he wrote on Instagram he meant it if not quite in those terms it is obvious that 50 Cent is fully in support of Monique and he isn't just talking the talk he is putting his money where his mouth is by promoting her work and demonstrating to everyone that she is a force to be reckoned with I'm telling you that with 50 on her side Monique is Unstoppable he was hyping her up so hard telling everyone they have to see her live and then get this he shared this mashuk clip that Monique made mixing precious with power Book 2 I haven't seen it yet but knowing those two it's got to be wild I got to get Monique back in pocket he captioned the clip and it gets even better 50 Cent isn't shying away from the blackballing issue either he straight up said we only cancel stuff that's bad for the culture we need you to win again now Monique he's basically calling out the industry for shutting her out and saying it's time for her comeback then he took get even further posting all in favor of monate being back on top say make it happen 50 sta F asterisk asterisk asterisk around he's rallying the troops getting everyone fired up for Moni's return and you know what the fans are here for it the comments were full of people saying they want to see Monique in 50s power Universe can you imagine with 50 Cent In Her Corner hyping her up and calling for her comeback I think Monique is a about to show everyone what she's really made of get ready world because Monique is back but why is all of this happening well it's because of what happened with the movie Precious do you remember how Monique has been saying she was blackballed after Precious she's always pointed the finger at Lee Daniels Tyler Perry and Oprah saying they shut her out because she wouldn't do those unpaid press tours they'd always denied it but get this Monique was on this show turned out with TS Madison and she dropped a bombshell she said Tyler Perry finally called her to apologize for how she was treated and apparently she recorded the whole conversation the show's host even said she's heard the recording so it's not just Monique's word against theirs anymore this changes everything if Tyler Perry really did apologize it basically confirms that Monique was right all along he might try to spin it but an apology speaks volumes I can't wait to hear this recording and see how Tyler Perry tries to explain himself now monik is telling the truth Madison said often times when it comes to a black woman speaking up and speaking out it goes unheard until she dies then once she dies then we go back and say well she was right and let's make a movie about it Monique said during the show for those of you who are unaware Tyler Perry and Monique are the subjects of some shocking revelations from 50 he revealed all the details of his plan to resurrect Monique's acting career on Big Boy's Neighborhood and he did not hold back believe me 50 Cent made it apparent that he wasn't only the person who cast Monique in season 2 of BMF by confirming that he was the one who did so after years of being shunned he is determined to support her in reestablishing her career this is the truly good part though in fact 50 Cent confronted Tyler Perry about the entire situation he claimed to have had a private meeting with Tyler Perry where he defended Moni and confronted him headon about his part in hindering her career even so could you see yourself as a fly on the wall during that exchange recognizing 50 Cent he didn't hold back in essence he confronted Tyler Perry with his own reasoning how has Monique been unemployed for 13 years for something she said he thought to himself self in fact he said that he found it hard to comprehend Tyler Perry endorsing such blackballing then this bomb was dropped by 50 Cent he claimed that after discussing it with Tyler Perry Perry stated N I never told anyone not to work with her however 50 Cent confronted him with reality telling him but you're Tyler Perry you never told anyone to work with her even if you didn't specifically advise them not to Tyler Perry reportedly thought oh my goodness I never thought of it like that at that point is that really true Tyler Perry seemed to have suddenly realized how much his words and deeds spoke for himself while he may not have deliberately shunned Monique he certainly did not offer any assistance to her who better to expose his hypocrisy than 50 Cent this is far more than just casting Monique in his program 50 Cent is standing up for what he thinks is right by risking his own reputation and professional relationships he is aware of Monique's talent and her mistreatment and he will not remain mute in the face of it I feel that Monique is going to have her final laugh especially with 50 cents supporting her in this way this is only the beginning of her comeback tale before he would even give her the benefit of the doubt he wanted her to retract what she had said and acknowledge that she was mistaken but Monique was having none of it it it seems like 50 Cent is holding Tyler Perry accountable for his actions something no other person in Hollywood has been willing to do this whole situation is messy but I'm here for money to finally get the recognition and support she deserves if you thought it could get any juicier it does she publicly called in out saying eventually the people will see listen and do something about you not keeping your word I am not going anywhere during a live Instagram video stream Monique and her spouse Sydney Hicks aired the audio of Tyler Perry's apologies is it really true they had no intention of Play Tyler Perry seemed to be expressing regret in his voice when he admits to mistreating Monique talk about putting it all on display I mean it was obvious that Monique and Sydney wanted everyone to hear the unver truth but there's still more Tyler Perry and 50cent aren't the only targets he also has Bishop TD Jakes in his sights yes 50 is exposing the mega church pastor for his own set of dubious practices as stated by 50 TD in addition Jake takes advantage of others and abuses his position of authority recall how Monique spent years accusing Perry and Jakes of unscrupulous Behavior it appears that 50 Cent did his homework and thinks she is speaking the truth this is quite significant two of the most influential leaders in Black Entertainment and religion are facing ing up against 50 Cent and mo he is not frightened by their wealth power or reputations his goal is to reveal the truth and make them answerable for their deeds what's truly intriguing you know this is not TD's first experience someone has called Jake's out for years rumors have swirled around him regarding his dubious activities particularly his relationship with Diddy long running rumors and charges have surrounded the two hello I once had Diddy text me welcome to the family but I wased by a platinum selling producer who was one of his cohorts he recently made some quite strange remarks during a sermon it would have engulfed me have you ever experienced engulfment have you ever experienced a period of time when everything seemed too much to handle isn't that strange now money is criticizing TD Jake for seeming a little too familiar with the topic as he is out here preaching about some come out of the closet metaphor monque I see you the queen of uncensored comedy is the perfect person to voice what others are thinking hold on Bishop why are we now discussing swallowing during the sermon she asks are you attempting to communicate with us and you've swallowed that line yeah and G have you I've passed away while everyone else is playing checkers Monique is outside playing chess she doesn't hesitate to expose hypocrisy especially when it is from a prominent mega church pastor furthermore what do you know I'm prepared for it and it seems that everyone is in agreement according to a supporter TD Jakes was concealed from view the entire time I understand that people from various backgrounds can be friends but something about a mega church pastor hanging out with diddy at his infamously wild parties just sounds weird and the rumors didn't help this entire TD Jake and Diddy connection is giving me serious side eye there were rumors circulating that Jake was too close to some dubious activities taking place at those events and that he must be involved in them although it damaged his impeckable reputation Jake deserves credit for his ability to remain composed in the face of difficulty he continued to preach carry out his routine and maintain that he had nothing to conceal you have to agree whether you believe him or not the man certainly understands how it handle adversity nevertheless there seems to be more to this whole narrative don't you think W Monique's criticism of TV Jake is admirable Diddy's former bodyguard is suddenly endorsing her things just became serious here we're not talking about some unknown person Jean deal was Diddy's right-hand man the man who witnessed everything so when he claims to have seen TD Jake at his parties you can be sure he's telling the truth moreover the details Jean is providing seem to match exactly with what Monique has been saying according to two entirely different sources that corroborate each other's account man what I think about it is this you know when I grew up in the church the Sinners was not supposed to have the same atmosphere with the Saints you had to be able to se separate the two so I'm looking at him as a saint going to a party that ain't nothing but sin drinking maybe fornication man on man woman on woman he on she but maybe he had to lay some hands on somebody maybe he there to save some Souls I know he got a contract with Revolt so I'm just like it it it's just real strange that he would be found at any kind of Diddy party or any kind of uh place with Diddy unless it's in a business atmosphere so now what he's doing is he's making he he man he making the Christians look real bad right about now and youve been to these parties right oh yeah uh I was there when he was doing the white parties in the Hamptons and the whole nine yard so I know what goes on at the parties if you know they probably got a little bit more freakier you know as time went on you know cuz they got to the point whereas that they didn't even care it used to be secretly you know where people used to go to you know separate rooms and different rooms and they wasn't doing that out in the public you know so but now they don't care men kissing men and all this other that's just crazy it's it's hard it's hard to even talk about why would you find a a religious man you know when you know that the the Saints supposed to separate their self from the Sinners and why would a religious man like himself be at a party which is a't nothing but sin is going on bro whe it's drinking maybe fting May maybe like I said men on men women on women it it it's hard to to to to put in perspective unless he's involved in himself what is actually going on at the parties it's hard brother bro you know you can't I I I I I really don't don't know [Music] why as a spiritual advisor to him that they buddy buddy why they where he got a party with him like that and be at his parties it's got to be maybe it's something more that meets the eye you know I don't know you know I've had uh you know i' I've talked to preachers and I've talked to to reverends and Priests but they ain't never came to a party with me or nothing like that so it's hard to figure that one out bro without even saying you know what people might be thinking but I heard that there's supposed to be some tapes or something that's coming out real soon and I guess we'll all really know the truth if anything's on those tapes you are aware that when you have nothing to conceal you don't attempt to stop others from speaking TD Jake appears much more guilty in light of his response by attempting to cut the talk short it seems as though he is validating their fears the last person you want to threaten is Monique let's face it she has shown that she is fearless and capable of facing any Challenger even opra and Tyler Perry the entire situation resembles a powder cake that is about to blow it seems like we're only beginning to scrape the surface of something much darker and larger with lawsuits flying all over the place and more and more people coming forward with their experiences rumors regarding TD Jake's dubious friendships are escalating into a major crisis you can be sure that Monique will stand her ground so fasten your seat Bel because this ride is going to get bumpy she isn't going to back down from this battle especially with 50 Cent on her side they are confronting the wealthy and powerful and they won't give up until the truth is known this is about more than simply the controversy in Hollywood it's about exposing the hypocrisy that frequently lurks beneath power and wealth as well as about accountability and Justice listen you may really want to consider promoting this film because if you get nominated for an Oscar award your next film is 3 to $5 million the pastor is attempting to contain the damage now that his name has been mentioned some even claim that Cassie's terrible relationship with the rapper was caused by her attempts to expose puff and his social group yes yes you heard correctly there's still more now Monique and 50 were vehemently opposed to the actions of influential personalities in the entertainment sector whom they dubed bishop and the Tycoon they saw both men as master manipulators who took use of African-American artists for their own Financial benefit dictating storylines and providing few opportunities in exchange for taking the Lion's Share of the revenues the way these individuals promoted themselves as leaders of the black community while feeding negative stereotypes and restricting artistic Freedom infuriated Monique in particular recognized for his astute observations 50 cited Bishop's tight contracts as proof of his abusive Behavior it was clear to Monique and 50 that something needed to change with a focus on black artists taking back control of their own stories and lives and fans are starting to see the bond between these two recently someone tweeted on X did he shared a passage from Bishop TD Jake's sermon about weathering the storm with stability each artist should be allowed to pursue the artistic Endeavor but I still think they're a lot of stuff that's on today is coonery buffoonery but we could do better after 50 Cent made public remarks and the media frenzy that followed Tyler Perry seemed to have gone into damage control mode he had to quickly neutralize the threat to his well- constructed image and how did he try to get 50 Cent to shut up by using a strategy for which he is renowned hanging the prospect of cooperation all of us of a sudden rumors about possible projects started to spread rumors surfaced about 50 Cent working together behind the scenes and there were suggestions that he might appear in a Tyler Perry production it was a traditional charm offensive figing cooperation and common objectives the queen of Feelgood movies Tyler Perry was holding out his hand to welcome 50 Cent into his realm everyone is wondering if Tyler Perry intended for this to be a premeditated move to Qui a critical voice did he think that by using the glamour of Hollywood Fame to Plate 50 Cent he could effectively neutralize a danger to his Empire many people are wondering and the response could provide important insight into the power struggles taking place in this developing drama was 50 Cent fooled by the pretense or was he drawn in by the possibilities according to TMZ Tyler Perry is praising 50s and even hinted at the possibility of combining two production Titans for a future project they reportedly met at Tyler Perry Studios in Georgia and both of them said the encounter went really well call me cynical but there's something so convenient about this whole thing Tyler Perry wants to collaborate with 50 Cent when the ladder begins to expose Perry everything seems to be saying join him if you can't beat him is Tyler Perry genuinely a struck by 50 Cents Enterprise or is the this only a calculated ploy to hedge against his Rivals though it's certainly something to consider I'm not suggesting that's the case Perry is lavishing the praise telling TMZ that he is happy for 50 Cent success and is open to working with him on any projects it's as if he's rolling out the red carpet people it's becoming more and more difficult to ignore this it's as though Tyler Perry skipped ahead to the most obvious strategy in how to silence your critics 101 and showered them with compliments and opportunities is this a sincere appreciation of 50 cents business sense or a premeditated move to dissuade a possible threat you make the decision furthermore fans are genuinely interested in knowing if media will face pow Monet to Jada all right that's very funny right now that paired together let alone in the same universe is beyond my comprehension it's like combining water and oil or perhaps better described as combining holy water with whatever it is that Monet does to anoint her Goods however perhaps that is the purpose perhaps the entire idea is so absurd and bizarre that it's actually brilliant you have to admit Tyler Perry is essentially attempting to purchase 50 Cent silence so it's kind of like a shiny thing used as a distraction tactic it functions rather of discussing the real claims that sparked this whole controversy everyone is focusing about media and munet Tyler Perry is an expert at deceit I'll Grant him that and to be honest Perry seems to be succeeding with his ruse Tyler is out there praising 50 Cent but in recent days 50 has been notably less critical of Perry fans are guessing and raising their eyebrows in response to this abrupt change in tone some people firmly believe Perry is playing chess rather than Checkers they think he's figured out a way to use the prospect of successful Partnerships as leverage on 50 Cent forcing him to comply they contend that 50 has firsthand knowledge of what transpired to Monique when she dared to question the Hollywood establishment is he prepared to take a chance on suffering the same outcome particularly with someone like Tyler Perry who has such great success potential some believe that 50 Cent is just cooperating and utilizing Perry's own strategy against him they regard it as a calculated move a means of gaining access to Perry's power and resources while surreptitiously arranging his next course of action the quiet in this case is really a front a premeditated Calm before the storm what is truly happening behind the scenes will only become clear with time that being said this is by no means finished Tyler Perry and 50 Cent are playing to win and the game is on so what are your thoughts is 50 truly afraid of the studio head people automatically assume he had have done something because you hear how everybody would you know you get this role in Hollywood you had to have done something so now all of a sudden my podcast is moving up the ranks both so people automatically assume man look here man I don't play like that what's more important to you credibility or going viral a lot of times cam I don't even know I don't I didn't know I I didn't know it was going to go viral a lot of these clips that go viral I don't think they could cancel Shannon sharp you know why he's too popular with everyday black people Shannon sharp snow bunny Shannon sharp he has a podcast and he interviewed Cat Williams and Cat Williams exposed everybody Shannon sharp played the whole interview before Shannon sharp interviewed Cat Williams he interviewed Steve Harvey Steve Harvey felt Oprah felt that Shannon sharp should have been a little bit more protective of the reputations of the person's disgust on his platform and he was not so when interviewing Cat Williams and he has not been so when interviewing other people as well Shannon shark broke the Hollywood rule things are going to become really interesting guys Shannon sharp is not one to back down is he he has now come out against Tyler Perry and Oprah for supposedly attempting to ruin his career furthermore what do you know this isn't just a half-hazard rant the queen of keeping it real Monique has long said that Oprah and her Entourage have a tendency to silence Black Talent particularly if they D to defy authority but no one was interested in listening then Moni's truth was disregarded and treated as insignificant however right now these same thoughts are now being expressed by Shannon sharp a legend in the Athletics World and as of late an internet celebrity it appears that they misjudged the people they were interacting with there's going to be a mess but you know we'll be here for the whole thing I'm telling you this and I want you and I want somebody to send it to you and y'all been I've been seeing it in the chat y'all know who I'm talking about I don't know who you talking about but I'm with you I'm my name again and I'mma put the I'm and I'm going release the DM because you said I reached out to you to come on Club sh sh and you a m but hold on what actually transpired as you can see Shannon sharp was doing something right he would have these famous people on his show and they would talk like really talk not just the standard PR proof Spiel but actual casual talks Shannon had a certain way about him even though you were you know a major celebrity he made you feel like you were just talking with a friend people adored it seeing these legendary people be honest transparent and share their experiences with energizing there was a brief period of time when everything was positive this is what we're trying to accomplish and this is showing the the negative side of this other society and this is the J and this is our hero it's our hero who's going to go do America's bidding and go over there and you're like okay and those movies are successful and so they continue this relationship and you become a bit of a propaganda arm for the government and in turn they don't with you then he turned on Cat Williams cat is a different breed isn't he funny guy for sure but he always had that edge to him that said I'm going to be honest even if it hurts everyone was aware that this interview would be unique before it began the energy in the air was almost palpable and it really did not let me down paat made a bold entrance He was discussing anything and everything personal matters social concerns you name it and he wasn't trying to mince words I remember when I did Cam I remember getting up and I turn back and I look at my cat excuse me cat cat and I look at my producer and he's shaking his head I'm like a man we done messed up so I'm like what did I say yeah did I say he like this is going to be the taco 24 no way it was quite captivating because of that you was unable to turn away it was as if you were seeing a slow motion vehicle disaster only instead of a car crash you were staring at a burning societal commentary things were never the same after that interview all of a sudden everyone was glued to Shannon's show these days it was more about the talks than it was about the big names and the potential for another EXP expion of Truth Shannon was just keeping up with Cat Williams who didn't just raise the bar he blew the darn thing up I don't um I've never been propositioned I've never been approached um I go I work I try to create the best content that I possibly can I try to create content that I feel that my viewing and listening audience want to see want to hear and that's the team that's the team that I've assembled that's our job is to try to create the best content indeed following the release of that cat Williams interview things were to put it mildly intense you see cat didn't just say what was on his mind he also called out several huge names in the industry including A-list celebrities and heavyweights and let me tell you he didn't hold back this is this is going to be viral for the whole year I said come on man I see so I'm thinking at that point in time Steve Harvey is my biggest view uh is my most view podcast he's a 8 million I said you think we going to beat Steve he's like yeah I'm hoping for 10 million that's all cam if I get 10 million I'm like that's a pretty good interview think about how how few people that's in this space that interview people that don't get 10 million so if I get 10 million that's one of the biggest podcast now that's not Joe Rogan's numbers but that's pretty good for up and cominging podcast so I felt good the retaliation was severe and quick people were taking sides social media was Ablaze and the court of public opinion was sitting Shannon a person that people had always liked and trusted was suddenly targeted in an interview he even acknowledged that dealing with the negativity was difficult although he was aware that the cat interview would generate controversy he didn't believe anyone had anticipated it would go viral to that degree it appeared as though the entire entertainment sector was keeping a close eye on him to see how he would handle the aftermath got to have a real stable at home situation to understand I got meetings I got study I got a train the way I eat the way I sleep I have to understand that I'm gay now because cat conducted the interview as C conducted the interview my name is Wendy Williams I write gossip column CAC did alert me Shannon a former NFL player who spent 14 seasons in the league mostly with the Denver br Broncos has always been a respective figure both on and off the field he said be prepared because it's going to come he responded when I played Sports I expected the opposing teams fans to dislike me but in Hollywood I had no idea it would be like this sharp continued I would be lying if I told you I expected this and it got personal to people were coming at him for everything even attacking his quality he moved from playing sports to doing Sports commentary with ease appearing frequently on ESPN's first take with the inimitable Stephen aith and going on to achieve even greater success with his own podcast Club shii he had kept his reputation as a straight shooter someone who always gave respect while calling things as they were throughout it all therefore it truly hurt to have people disparage his reputation call into doubt his morality and circulate false information about his Ste legitimacy in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter he even said that dealing with the homophobic attacks was the most difficult aspect of the backlash it just served to highlight how nasty things can get and how easily people will turn their disagreements into personal attacks particularly in the frequently poisonous realm of social media he claimed that social media has a big influence when someone persistently questions a straight man's sexual orientation in 2016 a man made it to the White House and started saying things over and over again to the point where people began to believe him people will accept statements you make as true even if they are false if you say them often enough sharp continued it's not acceptable to say somebody is gay you cannot persuade me that it is acceptable it's not furthermore it extended Beyond merely Anonymous trolls on social media in their standup acts other performers Mike EPs and Eddie Griffin even poked fun at Shannon's F asterisk in reality the damage was done even though both comedians later expressed regret it just demonstrated how nasty things could get and how fast people especially in the frequently poisonous realm of social media would resort to personal attacks when they didn't agree with you sharp told Dar that individuals frequently hide things in jokes I felt very very good because I knew the size of the lady game don't D Pete pause now I'm just saying I just knew I just cuz you know I know they just wait they waiting to wa they waiting on you we knew the L I'm talking about in basketball term don't y'all be gous so I'm going go ahead I'm just the one time I'm saying for oo and I on night no D it wasn't just any interview that cat gave the man went on a nearly 3-hour tie raade about everything and everyone he had issues with people in the entertainment business Hollywood the music industry you name it and even with party invitations cat suspected that Cedric the comedian had stolen his jokes it seemed to be a long list of grievances that Shannon had expressed it makes sense why many were upset it was like witnessing someone throw a bomb into a celebrity filled room before leaving coie and Shannon whether he meant it or not became the one with the PIN and my goodness the things cat was saying were insane you know he kind of went after Ricky Smiley declared that unless the person was dressed in a dress he wouldn't work with him again to his credit Shannon didn't seem to believe that one he inquired even as to cat's reasoning for including such a thing in a contract but cat he went all in saying something along the lines of that's where he's a credible actor he plays good women and Tyler Perry can't portray a male to save their lives can you even begin to comprehend the absolute disdain and audacity it appeared as though he was attempting to make everyone laugh sadly it was successful after this crazy conversation have been going on for almost 2 hours and 20 minutes cat focused on Tyler Perry The Man Behind the Medan movies and TV series among many others currently Tyler Perry is a major force in the entertainment business well known for giving black performers and crew workers opportunities cat though was unimpressed he launched into a TI raade about how Tyler wasn't actually making someone famous or using his power to make someone else famous he implied that the majority of the actors in Tyler Perry plays weren't receiving the same opportunity or publicity as Tyler by pointing out that they could go through a mall without being noticed then cat went a bit farther and brought up Tyler's sexual orientation he implied that if Tyler was genuinely interested in boosting the black community he ought to be supporting other black LGBT plus actors by essentially challenging Tyler to put some other homosexual individuals on he went so far as to call Tyler a gatekeeper someone who could opened doors for others but refrained from doing so it was a daring contentious comment that fueled the already blazing controversy surrounding the interview cat brought up Oprah just when you thought he could push the envelope anymore you see there had been whispers about Oprah and Tyler Perry for years accusations that they had mistreated another extraordinarily gifted black actress named Wii cat embraced the debate without holding back he made the Imp implication that Tyler ought to be even more mindful about promoting other African-American artists particularly those who have been disregarded or sidelined by the business in line of Oprah's purported actions CAC contended that Tyler was involved in the system that kept some people down by failing to take action cat referred to him as a gatekeeper someone who could have altered the course of events but choose to follow the established guidelines it was a daring charge that linked a number of of well-known scandals and placed Tyler Perry at the center of them all you couldn't ignore the fact that he was posing some unsettling queries regarding Authority representation and responsibility in Hollywood regardless of your agreement with cat you have to give Shannon sharp some credit for persevering through all of this he was truly a saint imagine this Shannon is sitting comfortably in his chair nodding along and occasionally smiling while Cat Williams is going on off and delivering Bombshells left and right he embodied the saying I'm only here for the tea with tat he realized he had a live wire on his hands someone who wouldn't back down from a controversial statement consequences be damned and rather than try to control him censor him or change the topic Shannon chose to back off and let tat do his thing he was the epitome of the hype man establishing an environment in which tap was free to let his hair down even if it meant upsetting some very influential people but Tyler Perry and Oprah yes they did not find it funny they were reportedly Furious that Shannon provided Tad with a forum to express all of this dirty laundry they interpreted it as a betrayal an indication that Shannon was picking a side in this convoluted Hollywood play and they believed he had made the wrong decision it seemed to them that he had given Tad a platform and a spotlight enabling him to openly little them without any opposition it was very painful for Oprah her profession had been based on her advocacy of positivism empowerment and speaking up for the voiceless it hurt a lot to have someone on her alleged friend's platform call her a gatekeeper and implicate her in preventing others from moving forward it made her defensive and called it to question her carefully constructed Persona Tyler Perry was apparently even more incensed in the process of building his Empire he had given innumerable black performers and crew workers opportunities it felt like a smack in the face to have his accomplishments downplayed his intentions called into doubt and his sexuality turned into a weapon against him this felt like a direct assault on his legacy and image which he had always passionately guarded the interview had immediate and serious consequences Wildfire rumors of tension behind the scenes and feuds arose people chose sides relationshipss were forged and shattered and the entire incident turned into a cautionary tale about the influence of words and the erratic behavior of public figures cat fanned the Flames even more just as you thought the dust was starting to settle he began discussing his personal experiences in Hollywood saying he had long struggled with salary disparity he hinted that he had lost out on opportunities and financial gain as a result of his cander and readiness to challenge The Establishment then he made a shocking Revelation then with even more fervor he dropped a bombshell had Oprah silenced her detractors with her power did her well-maintained image have a darker side cat's cryptic warnings and Oprah's silence on the subject only served to feed the question's persistence certain stories claimed that Oprah was incensed with Shannon and Cat for providing him with a platform rumors circulated about Poss possible legal action as well as covered efforts to undermine cat and limit the harm it was a major Hollywood Scandal of the sort that could Propel a person to start them or ruin them in a technical sense however Oprah and Perry did harm Monique's career so cat and Shannon aren't really in the wrong that's what she says anyway
