Styleite puts Mo Hubby according to the site, And that’s when I started to learn about Mo’Nique, the business woman. She and her long-time husband/manager, Sidney Hicks, were becoming the talk of the industry because they allegedly asked for money to show up on carpets to support Precious. While she was not contractually obliged to show up to many of these carpets, most nominated actors “kissed the ring” to sweeten their hopes of a win, if not to continue hype around their nominated movie. But Mo’Nique and Sidney didn’t want to “play the game”, as she recently told The Hollywood Reporter. They wanted to get paid to play the game.
I couldn’t report on that, really. It wasn’t a fact I could prove, nor one I thought super important, given the weight of the film itself. One thing everyone wanted to know, though, was What Would Mo’Nique wear?! There was rumor that the actress was having her Oscar dress designed by Tom and Linda Platt in NYC, so I called them. After chatting with Tom various times, we decided that the BET crew would come by to shoot an interview with the designers and show off the types of dresses they created. “Of course, we couldn’t reveal the dress,” Tom told me. “Of course,” I answered. The plan was set, we’d show up on Wednesday to shoot our segment.
