was it was very controversial show and um once again they had the whole cast on but I wasn't invited so I don't know opra show the controversy between opra Winfrey and Ice Cube stems from Ice Cube's claims that he was snubbed by Oprah and the view due to his controversial opinions Ice Cube mentioned in an interview with Tucker Carson that he tried to appear on The View multiple times but was turned down because his views didn't align with the show's brand of politics similarly he felt excluded from Oprah talk show on more than one occasion citing instances like not being invited to participate with the cast of his movie Barbershop and his show black white that sounds like right-wing extremism and what aboutism what but I've been shut out you know some some platforms will not

let me go sit down and talk with anyone and reject the programming that I can only talk with who corporate media the Democratic party Democratic politicians and social media tell me I can talk with Ice Cube has voiced his discontent with what he describes as an elitist Club within Hollywood he claims that his refusal to conform to Industry standards and his outspoken views have led to professional roadblocks that I'm not part of the club and a lot of you listening to me right here right now you not part of the club either and what I realize with the club is what makes them so mad is when you don't want to be a part of their [ __ ] club that pisses them off what club am I talking about I'm talking about the club of Gatekeepers that we all got to deal with you know who they are and they definitely know who they are um a lot of people be like what who who who come on man stop playing so ever since ever since I put out the contract with black America you know they've been with me here and there this and that but it's cool you know I expect that um you know I've been working with you know on the big three for a long time and you know how they been with me with that I done made it you know plain simple and clear clear what they've been doing you know the NBA been with us now a lot of people might say like but Q you want to work with the NBA really I don't give a about working with the NBA what I want them to do when I say work with us is to stop working against us stop doing that [ __ ] behind the scenes that we know you're doing um mainstream media you know D with us and that's cool we can do it ourselves you know what I'm saying we still on the rise without these ice cubes recent statements about Hollywood's Gatekeepers underscore his belief that an exclusive network of insiders is restricting real progress and success for those who don't conform to its expectations He has expressed frustration over barriers he believes are designed to keep people like him from achieving their potential unless they adhere to the industry's unwritten rules in response he plans to launch a The Gatekeepers podcast tour to highlight these issues publicly and reach a broader audience especially to advocate for transparency and autonomy in Creative Industries what am I going to do to deal with these Gatekeepers well what I'm going do is go on a The Gatekeepers podcast tour and I'm going go talk to everybody everybody you know and get a chance to get my message out to the people um be able to let people hear from me you know and and you know you might agree you might not but the the important thing is you know for me to go on these platform forms say what I feel about what I think and you know some people may get pissed off cuz I'm going to talk to everybody I'm not playing and um it's going to be it's going to be a Crazy Summer it's going to be fun appreciate y'all always support the big three hopefully I'm doing stuff that you guys dig you know I'm not doing this for me I'm doing this for people that's bored as in the summer with Summer Sports and want something cool like the big three so here we are appreciate you while Oprah Winfrey has built a reputation as a champion for social justice and equality she has also faced accusations regarding her treatment of certain black artists and individuals Oprah has also come under growing scrutiny for her treatment and compensation of black artists involved in her projects prompting significant questions about equity and representation within the industry this movie was important because it created a space and roles for a group of black women yes and I would just like to say about this whole T you know I I heard I was trending yesterday uh because people are saying that I was not supporting Taraji Taraji will tell you herself that I've been the greatest champion of this film championing not only the behind the scenes production but also so everything that everybody needed so whenever I heard that there was something that people needed I'm not in charge of the budget because that's Warner Brothers you know that's the way the studio system works and we as producers everybody gets their salary that's negotiated by your team and so whenever I heard there was an issue or there was a problem there was a problem with the cars or there a problem with the food I would step in and do whatever I could to make it right Henson specifically mentioned that she and other black actors including those working on the color purple received lower pay compared to their peers leading to significant backlash against Oprah who co-produced the film well Oprah Winfrey is hitting back at claims that she created a negative experience for the cast during the filming of The Color Purple now speculations started when one of the film stars spoke out about being paid inadequately in Hollywood as well as criticizing production for making cast members drive themselves to set in rental cars but the media Mogul has shut all of those room rumors down saying there's no bad blood between the pair in these discussions Cube addressed how his controversial decisions like refusing the covid-19 vaccine for a film role demonstrated the ways in which his independence placed him at odds with the industries go along to getalong approach by partnering with Carlson a conservative figure Cube challenges the conventional alliances expected in Hollywood and has been vocal about a need to rethink how media and cultural discourse are controlled by elitist networks within the entertainment world do you think that it's harder to be a man in America now than it was when you were a kid yes saying what you feel being yourself um is is what they call toxic you know we shouldn't be um called toxic for for our instincts and for you know I was born this way what are you talking about you know what I mean like why can't we be ourselves we were born this way too so there are some groups like if I say I'm trans then people say that's great you were born that way we affirm you during his interview with Carlson ice cube made remarks on transgender identity that added to the backlash against him while Cube's comments were brief some interpreted his statements as dismissive particularly when he likened the concept of identifying as another G Ender to someone wanting to be treated as a different species like a pigeon so there are some groups like if I say I'm trans and people say that's great you were born that way we affirm you but if you say I'm just a dude with male instincts you're not affirmed you're attacked yeah I mean everybody doesn't really have to affirm you you know if I wake up and say you know I'm a I feel like a pigeon I want everybody to treat me like a pigeon this analogy sparked criticism as many felt it trivialized the experiences and identities of transgender people although Cube did not delve into extensive discussion on the topic his comments were perceived by some as reinforcing stereotypes which fueled controversy around his appearance on the show some people may say whatever Cube we treat you like a pigeon but some people may choose to be like dude no that's your world I'm not part of it and I have to be ready for that it's a big world out here everybody doesn't have to adhere to me Oprah Winfrey has been a strong supporter of social justice movements and has actively used her platform to promote discussions around systemic discrimination inequality and other social issues following events like the police Encounter of George Floyd Oprah hosted specials addressing these issues featuring influential voices such as Ava duven and Stacy Abrams she has also been vocal about her personal experiences and the impact of racial profiling on her loved ones if you got kids in college and the commencement speaker is likely to spew out woke rhetoric encourage them to stand up and walk the hell out that will be one of the best life lessons that you can give them before they head off into the world themselves play the clip you are the generation that is forced to depend on body cams to obtain Justice and even then accountability as we've seen again and again can be so hard to come by you witnessed the storming of the capital and the death of Civility you're accely aware that voting rights are being gutted women's rights are being dismantled books are being banned history is being Rewritten it is funny to me that a lot of these people pushing these agendas are already Filthy Rich and largely unaffected by what they want the rest of us to comply with through either being forced to change or agree with and it is so weird that the dims seem to never be concerned about the real issues like inflation high gas foreign threats in the crime why do you think we're in a happiness slump in America ooh I will tell you one of the most profound reasons I think is because everybody is looking at other people's social media what they believe to be other people's lives which is only a snapshot of other people's lives and feeling Envy about that and one of the things that Arthur and I talk about in this book is that Envy is the great Destroyer the happiness killer it is the happiness killer and so anytime you anytime you're looking at anything else with Envy you have already killed your own happiness or your ability to be happier in that moment and probably in moments to come in her efforts to maintain Her Image as a saintly figure Oprah has openly supported gender fluidity and the importance of embracing one's true self you need to surround yourself with people who are going to stimulate Inspire and lift you up who are going to give you energy and not take energy away from you and if you're around people who are taking energy away from you that's energy drain and that is the sign from your instinct your inner voice your intuition to say let them go wow many critics including prominent figures like rapper 50 Cent have accused Oprah of disproportionately targeting black men in her support of the hashme to movement for example 50 Cent criticized her for focusing on allegations against black figures such as Michael Jackson and Russell Simmons while while seemingly overlooking similar accusations involving white men in Hollywood this has led to claims that Oprah has not always supported black artists in a consistent manner fueling criticism from some in the black community I didn't have anything against Oprah you just called her a [ __ ] I'm going to tell you why you named your dog Oprah didn't yeah I did I did look look I remember that no look every time she made a mention to hip-hop culture it was something that was wrong with it and it was something that was on my CD that was the largest day VI and Hip Hop out you you're looking at it and you're saying that everything that's wrong with our culture is why I'm a success wow so when I actually got a chance to talk to her she was like I never thought about it like that she's not where she's at by accident one of the gravest allegations against Oprah Winfrey is the accusation that she was involved in providing and preparing children for Diddy's Infamous parties adding to these startling claims is the controversy surrounding Oprah's Leadership Academy for girls in South Africa why have all of the girls went missing that was at that school graduating class and nobody is talking about it h I tell you why because you guys are protected and I don't appreciate it I want you guys to tap in tune in comment if you guys know about it talk about it spread the word share this those girls in Africa went missing that was an OA School Oprah wi free where were these girls at has anybody found them why is there not enough coverage join this hm but those five guys that were missing RP definitely feel bad for them that's a lot of coverage of course founded with the noble intention of empowering underprivileged girls the school has faced allegations of misconduct in the past raising concerns authorities found out about it and the employee was charged with 13 counts of getting inappropriate with kids turns out at least six girls aged 13 to 15 were allegedly systematically and ritualistically targeted Oprah went on record saying she was going to look at the situation but after her investigation the employee was cleared of any wrongdoing and some alleged Oprah had a hand in trying to cover it up but these incidents continue to rock the school including a newborn baby being found unived at the school which some say was for trafficking in an interview on shanon Sharp's Club Shay Shay podcast Monique has also confronted Oprah Winfrey about their long-standing Feud Monique accused Winfrey of betraying her by allegedly blackballing her in Hollywood after her Oscar win for precious she claimed that roles she was promised were given to Winfrey instead and that Winfrey and Tyler Perry were behind this effort if Oprah was watching this what would you tell her I would say Oprah Winfrey you know what you need to do and stop hiding behind what you call was negative comments what you call oh I don't even deal with things like that because what people are beginning to do is see you for who you are where Oprah Winfrey and I have a problem is Oprah Winfrey called us up and she said my brother wanted to come on the show and talk about him molesting me and he wanted to tell other parents how to look out for molesters my brother Gerald is a charmer so my mind thought was because she said do you want to come on I said I don't want nothing to do with that cat I said niggaer I know is up to a scam Monique also expressed her hurt over Oprah bringing her estranged brother on the show without her consent feeling it was a breach of trust she emphasized the need for black women to stand up against exploitation in the industry Monique's candid remarks highlighted her frustration and desire for accountability from Winfrey but people can change and who am I to say he hasn't changed it might really be different so I don't want to get in the way of that I just don't want nothing to do with it she said if you don't want me to have your brother on the show I will cancel the show no show will happen but I wanted to call you up to see how you felt first when I hung up that phone brother I looked at my husband I said that is all right with me that's a real she kept it she cuz she didn't have to call me up she didn't have to say my brother was coming she could have just ran with [ __ ] let it happened I dig her for that now I begin to see commercials with my brother my mother my father adding to the bitterness is Monique's perception that Oprah alongside other prominent figures like Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels played a role in blackballing her in Hollywood after her Oscar win for precious I got labeled as difficult cuz I said one word and that was no now I said no to some very powerful people what Tyler Perry showed me Lee Daniels Oprah Winfrey and Lion's gate when you don't do what we ask you to do we'll take your livelihood but this isn't the only difficulty that Monique is facing at the time so while she's getting backlashed because she wasn't playing the game Monique had been betrayed by somebody that she never saw coming this is where things shift from professional to deeply personal what happened and we begin to talk about our relationships with our mothers and our fathers and I shared my relationship with her about my mother as she shared hers with me which I will never repeat because she shared it with me about her mother and father it might be something she shared with everybody but made want to make me feel special I don't know nonetheless it was an Our Moment I shared with her that me and my mother was not talking I shared with her we were in a really bad place I shared with her I was hurt and you know trying to figure this thing out she never said my mother was coming on that show because had Oprah Winfrey said I'm going to have your mother I would have said shut it down I don't need the world seeing how greedy my mother is Monique has consistently argued that her vocal stand against unfair treatment and underpayment in the industry led to her being ostracized and losing out on on significant career opportunities she emphasized that her outspokenness was not just for personal gain but was part of a larger fight against systemic exploitation and discrimination in the entertainment industry you called her the help yes and so I can see how that could be a little contradictory in saying I love my sister she's been dope but she's been the help for all these years how do you um how do you reconcile the two well I told the truth and what happens is we're now in a society that the truth is offensive see I too have been the help and the Very man whoopy Gober told me to get rid of
