Comedian Mo’Nique visited The David Banner Podcast, where she revealed that at one point in her life, she wasn’t interested in being a mother to her young son, she was caught up in the bright lights of Hollywood.
“[There was a] time that, when he was a little boy, I wasn’t interested in being a mother. I was interested in being a star. I was interested in being famous. And I wasn’t interested in being a wife,” she told Banner.
Mo’Nique added, “I was interested in taking pictures and red carpets and signing autographs and traveling the world. So, I didn’t really put the focus in. Now that I’m 52 and he’ll be 30, I pay for that. There’s a price you have to pay for that and I had to apologize to my son because I said to him, “I don’t want you to think that your story is not valid ’cause I didn’t tuck you in. I didn’t read you those stories. I didn’t show up at sporting events.'”
Harsha but remarkably honest of her. Mo’Nique confessed that all she craved was fame.
