Mo'Nique Says She's Ready To Fight Tom Joyner

Mo’Nique came through to “The Rickey Smiley Morning Show.” She kicks things off by calling for a protest of Tom Joyner because she showed up to his show 8 minutes late and she couldn’t get into the studio!

Mo’Nique and Rickey Smiley talk about their almost 30 years of friendship, and Rickey recalls a hilarious story of when Mo’Nique made Rickey go out to pick up her husband at 1am.
