Stars on a Plane

Comedian Mo’Nique was booted off a United Airlines flight in Chicago after a spat with a flight attendant.
The entertainer was en route to New York on Sunday to tape two episodes of “The View,” where she reportedly is being considered as a replacement for Star Jones.

A flight attendant challenged her stylist when she put a hair dryer in a first-class bin. Mo’Nique was flying in the front of the cabin, but her assistant was in coach.

After an exchange of words, Mo’Nique said the attendant told her: "Tell your people that the next time they have an attitude, they are being thrown off. ... Since 9/11, we don't play around."

“The safety of all of our passengers and our crew is our top priority, and that we regret that Ms. Imes felt in any way that she was not treated with courtesy and respect. When a situation occurs on a flight that causes a delay, or disruption, we must act in the best interest of all of our customers. It was determined that the best course of action was to accommodate Ms. Imes on a later flight.” said an airline spokesperson.


Things didn't get much better for her when she got to "The View."

The trouble began when Barbara Walters asked Mo’Nique if it was true that she didn’t shave her legs. Without missing a beat, the comedienne jumped up to show the audience her unshaven legs. When Mo’Nique told her that her hair does show beneath her pantyhose, Behar quipped “that’s attractive.”

Later in the show, Walters referred to Mo’Nique’s twin babies as “creatures,” a comment that clearly rubbed Mo’Nique the wrong way.

“Wait a minute Barbara; they’re not creatures sugar. Don’t call my children creatures.”

Later, Mo’Nique joked about smacking Behar that Walter’s reminded the comedienne, “Just remember, you come and go, but we stay,” as she reached over Mo’Nique to high-five Behar.


I did like Mo'Nique in "Two Can Play That Game" but my favorite story is when she wore a cow-printed outfit on "Showtime at the Apollo" and Mrs. Poop said she looked more like Moo-Nique.
