2019 been a year for
Mo’Nique!
Nearly two years after
calling for us to boycott Netflix for
offering her a measly $500,000 for a stand-up show, the Oscar winner has slowly risen. From
snatching Steve Harvey’s eyebrows for telling her to play the game to performing in her Vegas residency this summer to recently
filing a lawsuit against Netflix for gender and race discrimination, Mo is proving that you better not ever count her out of this game.
She’ll always come back swinging.
That,
and according to Variety, it was announced that she has been cast as the lead in
Mother Trucker, an indie action film set during the Congressional impeachment hearings to remove President Richard Nixon from office. Mo’Nique will portray a mother, struggling with anger management issues, who is forced to steal her suddenly deceased husband’s trucking haul to provide for her daughter.
“I knew this was unique from the jump, because of the countless scripts we’ve read together, the only other time my husband said ‘this is special’ was for a little movie named ‘Precious,’” she told the entertainment trade publication.
Even better: Today, December 11 is the actress’s 52nd birthday! Hands down, this is the fittest and the flyest she has ever looked! Mo can thank all of her workouts with her trainer and her raw diet for that SNATCHED WAIST!!!
