If you thought Katt Williams served up a lot of shade on “Club Shay Shay,” we can only imagine what will happen when Mo’Nique sits down on the podcast.

The Oscar-winning actress and outspoken comedian teased an upcoming interview with host Shannon Sharpe on Instagram Friday evening.

“Hey my sweet babies. Today was a day. Talked with our uncle Shay Shay, the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth!!!!” she captioned a gallery of photos with Sharpe.

It’s unclear when the interview will be released, but we have a feeling it will be a must-see video.

Why? Because Mo’Nique has a long (and bitter) history with Netflix, CBS, Paramount, Steve Harvey, Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey, D.L. Hughley, and Lee Daniels, although she and Daniels recently ended their feud.

Mo’Nique’s beef with Daniels, Winfrey and Perry dates back to the 2009 film Precious.

The Parkers star accused Daniels of blacklisting her in the entertainment industry, because she refused to take part in some awards season events promoting Precious — unless she received additional compensation.

After she seemingly disappeared from movie and TV screens, Mo’Nique told The Hollywood Reporter in a 2015 interview that she was “blackballed” for refusing to “play the game.”

During a 2017 stand-up show at the Apollo Theater, Mo’Nique slammed Daniels, Perry, and Winfrey. Someone in the audience posted video of the performance on Instagram, and it showed Mo’Nique calling out the Hollywood A-listers.

“No I was not blackballed, I was white-balled by some black d—ks who have no balls,” Mo’Nique said. “Thank you Mr. Lee Daniels, thank you Mr. Tyler Perry, thank you Ms. Oprah Winfrey.”

The following year, Daniels insisted he didn’t torpedo Mo’Nique’s Hollywood career — he said she did it herself by being difficult and “out of pocket.”

In 2019, Mo’Nique clashed with Steve Harvey on his daytime talk show when he told her she went too far by going public with her criticism of Daniels, Winfrey and Perry.

“I thought you went about it wrong. I felt you had done yourself a disservice by the way you chose to go about it,” Harvey said.

The Queen of Comedy told Harvey she was “hurt” that he didn’t offer her public support during her dispute with the powerful Hollywood moguls.

Mo’Nique sued Netflix for racial and gender discrimination in 2019. Three years later, the two sides settled and Netflix greenlit her My Name is Mo’Nique stand-up special.

In 2023, she sued CBS and Paramount alleging the companies owe her “millions” of dollars in unpaid profits for her work on The Parkers.

Mo’Nique and fellow comedian D.L. Hughley also publicly feuded over who was the true headliner when they shared the same stage at Detroit’s Fox Theatre in 2022.

Mo’Nique called Hughley a “bi–h” and some other choice words on stage. Hughley fired back by saying she beefs with everyone.

“Oprah was the problem, Tyler Perry was the problem, Charlamagne was the problem, Steve Harvey was the problem, Lee Daniels was the problem, Netflix was the problem… Now it’s my turn. At some point it can’t be everyone else, IT’S YOU!!” Hughley wrote on Instagram.
