Fellow comedians Mo’Nique and Steve Harvey nearly came to blows on the set of the latter’s daytime talk show after Harvey made a bold request that Mo’Nique found insulting.

The Oscar-winning Mo’Nique (Precious) is flexing these days as the proud comedienne markets the fact that she has recently signed a Las Vegas residency. During her promotional tour, she made a stop at the “Steve Harvey” show, and that’s when things went left, TheJasmineBrand and BET report.

Both A-type personalities refused to back down from their positions after Harvey made a request that the comedienne allegedly found insulting and unsettling, inciting her to threaten to slap Harvey in his face.

Harvey, according to the aforementioned publications, boldly told the woman born Monique Angela Imes, 51, that she needed to apologize to Whoopi Goldberg for dismissing the Academy Award-winning actress of Ghost as “the help” in a recent interview. Harvey reportedly suggested that Mo’Nique should apologize to Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, who produced the award-winning Precious, as well as then-rising director Lee Daniels.

After those words floated to the air toward Mo’Nique, she reportedly snapped immediately and “threatened to hit Steve in the face.”

Things reportedly degenerated after Harvey quickly shot back by telling her if she dared to follow through with her threat, “her husband would have to come out and square off.”

The publications reported that the cameras were rolling while the two high-strung personalities popped off at each other verbally.

There is no word on whether that heated exchange will be included during the editing process. The episode is scheduled to air in a few weeks, BET and TheJasmineBrand report.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
