Man, like twenty twenty listen twenty twenty four being crazy Okay, we were with thirty thirty three days in Like, listen, I ate this much popcorn a long time, okay, I mean because its it seems it just seems like it just gets better and better and better. You know, Kat Williams, you think it's quiet, here comes something like, oh lord, oh Lloyd's It's it's incredible. I mean, it's good, uh, you know. And and I gotta say this. I want to give a big shout out to big shout out to Judge Greg Mathis for you know, taking the opportunity to use his platform to try to bring peace, uh to some of the to to some of these celebrities that's got these beefs, and and you know, I appreciate what he did, but the response after that just took me clean out. I mean, Monique is she on fire right now? And one one could say, if they agree with her, with her approach, if they agree with how she's handling this, one could say that she shouldn't be saying nothing at all. You know, but you know, here's what I think about it. That's a grown ass woman, yeah, who who felt and had not just felt, but has experienced some things. Okay, and then you know, this woman is really dec declarated, you know, Emmy Award winner, Oscar Immage Award winner. I mean, this lady is really the truth. I mean, when you really look at her resume, you can her accolade. You cannot deny her. It's yeah, it's like wow, and all of a sudden, here comes this woman being black ball and you know, from from her, from her from what she's saying. Now, we don't really know if that's the case, but you really haven't seen her in no movies. You really haven't seen her really active in the entertainment industry. And now, Coco, you're in the entertainment industry. You know, you kind of may see these things. And you know, I mean, she should have the opportunity to say her truth. Okay. And I always tell people this, co col and I want you to jump in right now when I say this. As I say this, there's there's your truth, my truth, and there's the there's the god honest truth. So God really got the record on what's really going on? You know so, but you know so go ahead, Coco. I just want to get your feedback on what you think about this Monique situation. This, uh, this sentence Sharp you know him and Mike EPP's going at it right now. You know this this, I mean anyway, from Kat to Bonique to Mike Epps. I'm just trying to figure out who next. You know that I know I'm marked safe. I'm mark safe from the bull crap. So they get because my mind's my business, okay, And I mean, yeah, I've got a gay stuff I could drop on people. Please believe it because when they start to realize why y'all ignoring me, I'm taking it all in so I see everything. So but it's never been my style to you know, come at somebody. Or maybe I'm kind of person that forgives easily because holding grudges is it makes you sick, and I don't want to be sick. I feel like, you know, the world has just people, society. Everybody. There's such sheep. There's such sheep. And what I've realized is that when we used to feed sheep grass, we now have to feed them trap. That's the only way they'll stay by you. That's the only way they'll stay, you know, involved and invest in you. You can't feed them class. You have to feed them trash. And my is my thing is y'all pick and choose who you think is telling the truth. It's all subjective to you on who you like, who you don't like. You don't know who's telling the truth. You know, but if you them or you rock with them, or if they're a man over a woman, or if they're skinny to stop, or if they're light over being dark, or if they're more popular over not being so popular, y'all don't know the supers that bit you in the tail because you're only following what you know. It's subjective, you're only following what's popular. And my I've always felt that, you know, Monique had a right to speak her truth and say how she was being treated and how it made her feel. And she claims she was doing it to stand up for the rights to brothers. Yes, when she initially came out with all that, who thought her prom everybody that was that's what hurt her, That's what heard her platform was her approach. Now she's coming back on her y'all, a van zan beloved sweet baby's tip now y'all saying she's faith you know what? But yeah, something like and I'm not knocking a cat. I'm not you know, I'm not knocking a cat. I'm not right. You know, I'm not knocking a cat. But who's the same cat killing the whole truth? Okay, I'm not knocking you know, which is hilarious to me, that the grown man. But you know, he just realized that him trying to have in depth conversations was getting him no love. When he brought the trash, he got to ask, you understand what I'm saying. So yeah, yeah, so he's he's he's he's milking that for all his words, and he wants you to come on there and speak their truth, but he needs it to be messy. It can't be just the truth. And just like Country Wayne had a great interview, you see how y'all skirted over that because he wasn't up there throwing no stones, throwing no mess you know. So you know right now it is obvious everybody's sheep, and if you want to keep the sheep following you, you must feed them trash, not class. It just is what it is now. Honestly, like I said, at this point, Monique is trying to gather her credibility back, because, like I said, her initial approach is what kicked everybody off and turned everybody off. So hold on, let me, let me, let me hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Cooker, let me say this. I gotta jump in here because you you just reiterated this again. Her approach is what got her pretty much silence right in the industry. So let me ask you a question. Question. Yeah, as a as a as a black actress, you are an actress, right you? You are in this industry? Yes? You know? Do you and I works? Yes? And you and you works? Do you feel that she was speaking truth as relates to the disparities of resources that are given to black women like yourself, who are good and who have paid your dues to to be elevated. Do you think that that that was a good point? And just because it was a good point, even though she said it a certain type of way, it doesn't really make it wrong. It's just that, No, she was tired. Wasn't wrong. A lot of us aren't wrong. I mean, yeah, like I said, first of all, they pit us against each other. Yeah, if they get one fat funny chick, they will work her till she lose weight. Then they're gonna find them another fat funny chip. If they get them a sexy, they get them a sexy every dude want to sleep with type of chick. They will work her until she start to age, or y'all over it, and y'all find the next one. And they put us against each other. I knew I had reached a certain level of of of of my career when I walked into an audition and I'm seeing all the sisters I watched in movies and TV auditioning for the same role as me, and I said, oh, okay, And so now you look at each other and you try to be on your coon by yad, but you can smell the venom in the room. Who this hell? Who you you here for? This too? They pit us against each other. They make it seem like there's only one or two opportunities for us when every year they are shoving down our throats ten new non people of color actors. But they hold that thought. Let me take a break, come right back, because I want to hear that perspective that you're talking about that's that's that's pretty deep because now what you're saying that that now is the competition has increased rapidly based on what you're saying. So I want to I want to. I want to get back into that real quick. Hey, y'all, we'll be right back with more than Jeff Brown Show with Cocho Brown. Listen. We and he were talking about it today. Monique, Sha, that does sound kind of crazy. Uh shas can't even get up. I can't even the masculine man and you want It's like, I can't even say it. Yeah, I can't even say it. And Mike Epsen, Kat Williams and Shelon the son of Monique were talking about it all. We'll be with more of the show. This is crazy. It's the manhood. Brother can't get me. I can't even Yeah, I just crazy. This is the Jeff Brown Show. Hey, we are back. Don't about it. You're mad, man, No, listen for the show. I can't even say. They can't even say it. You know throad in your DNA will not It's kind of it's just a man. And then when I think about it and listen, I'm not sharp masculinity or his but it is kind of weird. You know, I'm just saying you couldn't called it the boom boom room. I mean, dude, like you couldn't call it boom boom shay, I can't even say it, can't he get to the second shape. You might as well have called it encore man, I called it. You don't call it club first second right for something something something. But you were saying that, Now when you go out and look at these these when you go out for auditions, now you're talking about you got you know, it's like nine to ten people women black women that you know. Now y'all going for the second rold, y'all going for when when you think that it's an exclusive audition? So now they now they now it's all competitive and yeah like it. It used to be a time where you'd walk in the room and you would see other actresses. Yeah, you know. Now you walk in the room and you got to compet against social media influencers. You got to compete against Instagram comics, you get, you know, and you sit up here like, dang, what did I take all them acting classes for? All I need to worry about is them commas above my head on a profile pick, and they do that to us when they don't do that to the other ones. The other ones don't do that. If you come in and your train, you went to Julliard, you did all this, you know what I'm saying. You know, you you get the respect you were given for us. They don't care how much you've been trained, where we went to school. It's like, where's that comma? How many commas you got? You know? And they put us against each other where we're all fighting for this. They act like there's not enough opportunities for all of us, and it is, but they like to pick and choose based on commas now and not talent. We've seen that a bunch of times. So and then you know, with the whole movie and everything else, which I'm not knocking because that's letting a lot of black filmmakers get their shine, but it all so has watered it down to the fact that any and everybody now can have what used to be a coveted spot. Yeah, so I want to, you know, and I gotta I want to jump in here and say that now. Big shout out to my team, Howard Clay and Strida Kart, myself, yours truly Confessions with Jeff Brown is coming to a network near you very soon. We are just excited about that. Got to give a US Soft Club on my new TV talk show, and I'm doing that because of how everything came about, right that I actually had to go through a process just to get to this point, Like I just couldn't walk in Like this is a like you know, I'm I'm listening to you talking you right, Like the journey for me to get to it to this point, Like my journey didn't start three years ago with Confessions with Jeff Brown. My journey didn't start six years ago with Jeff The Jeff Brown Show with Coco Brown, Right, this journey started ten years ago, ten plus years ago when I went to school and I learned the business, and I learned how to do the things I'm doing now, And now all of that is manifesting and it's translating into what we're seeing today. Okay, So I agree with you. It is you know, you got to put in the time and you got to put in the work. And you're right, they're making it so easy for people who do crazy stuff online on social media, and they're giving them the spots that they really genuinely. I'm not gonna say they haven't earned, but in a sense, they really haven't because at the end of the day, these are you know, you got people like yourself and all these these legends that have put in the work. Y'all put in the work, y'all done, got y'all master degrees and bachelor's degrees, and y'all went to school and y'all did this. But yet they're making it so tough on y'all. So now y'all gotta work five and ten and we have to go backwards. Now we have to go backwards. Yeah, yeah, And it's right, man, any real actor that has put in the work, the time, the sacrifice, the training, we have to go backwards because they said they don't do this on the other side. And I know because I played both sides. I am not a black comic. I've worked in front of multiple whether it be corporate, church, you name it. I've worked all sides, and I know that they do not do this with the other side. They will not bring somebody in who is not trained and embarrass them. Unfortunately for us, if they've made it now that we'll let anybody in. It's not a coveted spot anymore. It's not a spot that you know when you look at the Angela Bassist, the Will Smith's, de Denzel Washington, the Jeffrey Wrights, when you look at them and you know that person trained that person, did you know you realize that's something to aspire to be because they are great. On our side. Now it's like, oh, we're more concerned about how many comments are above your head, or if you got a bunch of followers and all of that. Don't care that you don't know to look to not look in the camera. We don't care that you know how to act, that you can't learn your lines, that you don't know anything about acting. We just want you here, they feel like, But honestly, they're right. I hate to say it, they're right. Black people will follow what's ever popular, whether it is uh making us look good or making us look horrible. That's why you say Kashawan's that are popular. That's why you still got Toukiana's out here, you know, That's why you still got these ignorant people, you know, representing us as a culture. Because we are black people. We got to do better. We're like sheep. They know they're feeding the sheep, they're feeding us trash. They know that if they gave Tabitha Brown a dagg on sitcom, only a small portion is gonna watch it because it's on some positivity. But if they make a sitcom with a bunch of ignorant people that pay act doing stupid stuff for whatever reason, oh they don't line up for it. So still we do better as a people in regulating what we allowed through the gates. Yeah, we're gonna keep getting the crap we're getting because because ultimately controversy creates cash, and ultimately, ultimately we in our culture we like we like controversy. That's why you look at all the reality we like. Yeah, and and and that goes back to the to the premise of the conversation. When you look at Monique, you said it, you said, hey, you know, she's trying to re establish her credibility again. And guess what. And Monique, not only she's trying to do that, but this is the only way she can do it. She has to speak her truth the way she has to speak it. I'm you know, I'm gonna be honest with you, though, co Coke, I ain't mad at Monique doing what she's doing though. You know why because guess what, you know, God blessed Tyler Perry, God bless Oprah and all these different people you know that that are on that level. God blessed Steve Harvey. You know what I'm saying that hurts That hurts her is that And this is with any any entertainer, when you're speaking about what's going on in the inside. Yeah, ninety nine percent of people only see what perception they have chosen to see of someone of someone. So if you come out and you're talking about things on the inside, they're gonna think you're hating. They're gonna think you're bitterer. They don't know. I tell you all the time, we who have been on the inside, we know some people ain't lying. But because y'all don't know, y'all don't know what's on the inside. Y'all don't see the in the workings. You only see the finished product, and you only see the face they put off for them interviews and stuff. You don't know what we know. But but but that's the only thing that hurts her, is that what she's speaking of is on the inside, and nine percent of the world has no idea, but but what do you do? And I'm about to take a quick break and we can touch back on this. I'm a segue into this. Here's a woman saying, hey, she said on Shannel Sharp show. She said, Hey, Tyler owes me this amount of money. She said. She claims allege that Tyler Perry owes her millions of dollars. He cost her millions of dollars because he blackballed her. He did certain things. Okay, but then there's another video that came out with fifty cent He was doing an interview and in the interview, he said he talked to Tyler allegedly. He said he spoke with Tyler and he said he don't believe that Tyler blackballed her, but he also believed that Tyler's silence about her. Did not know because he has because he has the influence, he has the ability to put people, cut it all down with a conversation. Yeah, he could have shut it all down. So at the end of the days, it's not just Monique, but it is, as you say, the inner workings. And now it's kind of out, not kind of is out from her perspective and kat William's perspective, They really need to have some type of conversation in some type of sit down to where they can kind of kill all of this and then those that are on that level, on that open level, and I'm talking about the money and the resource level, the Tyler Perry level, and you know, and so and forth and showing forth that are black and in that position and black of power in the elite. They need to come up with some type of way to make sure that actresses and actress that are the minority that are black are paid and compensated for what their value is. You know, I don't think everybody should be compensated like Dinzel Washington. I don't believe that. I don't believe it. I don't understand the game. But Token, you're not gonna keep temping me, putting me in leading roles and playing me and paying me what you paid me the first go round. It ain't gonna happen like that, and that it's just anything. Then you get raises, you get promotions, and I think that was Tarazi's big thing, that she was still getting paid what she got paid for for her first leading role. Girl, you, Taraji p Henson's your price supposed to go up every time you walk off a set. Yeah, and well you know, and I'm gonna take a break real quick. Listen. She said something. They said that she fired her whole team after the Empire TV series that they did because she said that it ain't no way that her value should not have increased after the performance. So with that said, so she she's standing on her own business with that to listen, and I agree you if you don't walk away, I mean, even with me, I'm not even I'm not at the Tarazi level. I'm getting there. I'm closer than I was, you know what I'm saying. But even I every time I've moved on to a different TV show ever since American Crime Story, I'm not even gonna use no disrespect, but I can't use Tyler Perry as as a blueprint because the industry has their things with Tyler. But when I did American Time Story with Ryan Murphy, from everything I've gotten after that, every time I show up, my price is gone up. Wow, but supposed to go. That's how I was supposed to go. And that's how she should not be making the same amount of money for Color Purple that she got. I can do bad all by myself. Absolutely not for bab absolutely not. Absolute team and getting her more money every time she walk on a set, especially after the run she had on Empire of course, hell after Benjamin Button. Like girls, if your team is just happy to take whatever they can get for you, and then you say for you to get the raises you deserve, that I totally agree. Everybody had to go. Yeah, well listen, We're about to go and come right back. Listen, describe right now. iHeart Radio, Apple Podcast on Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcast. We'll be right back with more of the Jeff Brown Show with Coke o'bron. We'll be right back. It's so crazy, this is the Jeff Brel Show. Oh my god. This has been a great conversation. So Cole, let me ask you a question when you think when you think about this, this this dynamic of Monique and her son. Okay, now we now we now this young man comes out. He said he's a comedian. I've never heard him, so I don't know if you know a lot of people I don't know, so my defense, a lot of new comedians I don't though. Yeah, I've never heard of him, but you know, big shout out to him and his career. But he says that Monique is lying. He's like, you know what, we ain't tried. We ain't try to do this, We ain't trying to do that. He says, faithful, our works is dead. He said, neither Monique or him have put in the work. And he said, I'm freeing, brother. Don't get me started. Okay, Okay, I'm gonna start with this. We have seen this, and I'm not saying that what he said is true. I'm not saying Monique has done anything that's my that's not my cross to bear. What I will say is this, I've always been a firm believer. People in glasshouses should not throw stones. Okay, Now, I'll tell anybody you never see me riding some righteous wave where I am just so ethereal and I'm so spiritual and I'm so above it all and I transcended to some awokeness. No, you'll never see me because I fall short every day. I'm dead every day. Wow. Okay, But I will speak my truth and I will hold myself accountable. That that was the one thing when I watched that young man's confession, The one thing I did take from it was accountability. One. He never said it was her her, her, He said, I'm just as guilty as not as wanting to form this bridge of healing. Also exactly, and if you really paid attention to it, he never went out of his way to disrespect his mother. He did not. He did not. You're right, he never he went He never went out of his way to disrespect her, and I and and that and the people. I think what irritated me when I was reading the comments what so many men were calling him a punk and you you you soft and all of that, and I mean, black men, here we go again. You claim as women, as society, if i'd be a black woman with a society, we don't let a black man express himself that we don't respect his emotions. But here you come calling another black man soft and a wooz because he's speaking his truth. Okay. And the thing is, there are only two results that happened when a man is not allowed to speak his truth. Either explodes and becomes overly emotional and becomes a physic and staftid, or he holds it into the point that he explodes and he harms himself. Or others right, And you guys are up here calling him all out of his name, talking about soft and he and I'm like, but y'all want to blame us as black women saying we don't allow black men and specs themselves. That's y'all. You don't want to hold your brother's accountable. But all at all, your follow whatever Donkey's telling you to hold your stuff and act like you the man. And here's the brother. I don't know if it's true or not, it's valid or not. All I know if he felt compelled to come and shay that, and think about he was talking his circles. The man was going out of his way not to disrespect his mother and all of you saying that crap about he was all over the place. You probably talked to your parents any kind of way. And good look, good look because he preferenced. He prefaced that. He pres yeah, because he said, well, you know, he said he's not good with doing these lives. Dude. He said he didn't want to be. He was because he probably he probably what he wanted to say, and he's gonna want an emotional place. How about that brother, Did you notice the restraint the brother can y'all try that for a change. Well, let me let me say this. I'm gonna say this, and you know, you know I definitely agree with you. But again it goes back to what we said earlier. What you made a statement about we in our culture we are, we are so we are so quick to to to dog to to to frown upon, to be little, to devalue our own Right now here, it is this man is at actually freeing himself too. He said, I'm a free my mother, I'm freeing myself. You don't know that that statement that he made and him having that moment of transparency could have helped another brother that's faced with the same challenge that they put that out there. And daddy issues. Okay, let's let me the mother ain't just the mother, it's you know, they have they have broken relationships with their fathers. This broken relationship with the mothers. Okay, and you know we see a lot of this and uh in our community. Now here's the thing. I'm not saying that it don't happen in other ethnicity groups. I'm not saying that. But when you look at our culture, we are it's just like with the Bishop Jake's thing right, Nobody had any evidence about vision Jake, nobody video. But all it took was a rumor, and it was our it was our community, and it was it was bloggers that looked just like us, looked just like TD Jakes that was pushing an alleged rumor. Nobody stepped up and said, well, you know what, Uh, let's let's let's kill it until something actually you know, uh turns out with evidence to support this. Okay, nobody did that, and so so this is what's happening. And I understand why Judge Greg Mathis came out and said what he said. You know, even a situation with with D. L. Hugery and Monique, you know, I think it was pretty low that if she did talk about his daughter being molested, that's pretty low. You know. I don't know how true that is, but that's low. And I'm every evident. I'm waiting. But my thing is, if God left the pick and choose what you post, right, because y'all claim is evidence that she said that she attacked this man's daughter. Where that I want to see it too, but evidence type of girl, I don't go. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, but that's why I said. But here's the other part about it too, Coco. Listen this thing with her with d L and all this other stuff. Listen, when Cat Williams came out, he didn't saying nothing about d. L. Hillby, but she had something to say about d. L. Hillbey. And then she said on that interview, she said, I'm Cat williams fraternal twin. That's what she said, right, she said, we're I'm his spiritual twin. That's what she said, that's my brother. And then now she's on the she's on the dark matter to her right with him. So my thing is, you know, I've also believed some of that was for her to position herself, as you said, continue to build the credibility, get herself back out there. He said, is looking to work with some of these black actresses that that are not being paid what they're worth, you know. Uh, And and again got a lot of truth and good for him. Uh, you know, big shout out to what he's doing. Also, Uh, you look at Monique's story with Netflix. You know, they did settle out with her. Nobody, nobody knows exactly what that amount was, but she did yourself a major settlement. So what I'm saying is that there's some truth to what's there's truth to what she's saying. What we're seeing, we're seeing, we're seeing different pockets of the evidence and the facts that are favorable to Monique. But yet, and you gotta understand, Jeff, people need to understand this. Facts unfortunately have become subjective. Correct, that's true. It used to be true or false. That was it, no great areas, But now truth and facts have become subjective. You believe who you want to believe, You belittle who you want to belittle, whether the facts are staring you dead in the face, You're gonna go with whom ever seems more popular, who's got more weight, who's got a bigger platform. We are in a situation where the truth doesn't really matter because it's all perception. It's all perceptions, it's all subjectives. The thing is, I said, Kat says some things. I was like, right, right, the things true true. But also, like I said, are some of the things that they see it are inside issues. And unless you're on the inside. And unfortunately, because of Instagram and social media, everybody think they got to peek inside this business. Boo boo, y'all don't have no idea y'all have you don't know? Here, here's what happened. I know we got in the show. You know, I can't believe it went that quick, man, But you know, time be flying. But here's what I want to say people, Uh, you know, the scripture says, the Bible says this, that people would rather believe the lie rather than truth. That's what that's That's what the scripture says. And so what we what we're living in is a is a conspiracy theory generation. People believe conspiracy theory. That's what they believe. And guess what they've already believed. People already believe that that the industry is already taint it. They already believe that it's corrupt. It's all these different things. Baby, that's the thing. But the thing is, it's outside. Now. There was a time that being a celebrity, being a movie star, TV star, whatever was a coveted private affair when everybody was able to come inside as per se. We let everybody in the living room. They ain't in the kitchen, they ain't in the back bedroom, but everybody in the living room. When we took away that that gilded wall that said you're over here because we've achieved something and you guys are over here trying to get it. When we opened up the floodgates and let any and everybody in, that's what got the situation muddled, maybe beyond you know, you made me think about Clubhouse with Clubhouse like the androids in I mean, look for real, I mean yeah, well they got an iPhone. Everybody had an iPhone. Yeah, it was exclusive. But when and it was like, oh hell no, now you hear about Clubhouse. You know, I went on Clubhouse about three weeks ago. I look it is it has with totally died and then went the trash as. I did an interview on Clubhouse the other day with somebody who's a big influencer. That food had thirty people in there. I said, wow, I said, you might want to go and take this over the stream yard man, you take that stream. Yeah. But I mean, right now, you understand we have let people who normally would not have an opinion of how this business operates have an opinion. We're also given them the leverage to say your opinion matters. Yeah. Yeah, when they opened it, when they took away that gilded platform, there was when I came up in the game. You know, you aspired to be a Bernie, You aspired to be on Adele, You aspired to be a Somemore. You inspired to be a deal like you had you had you had golds when they put them on the same level as Joe Smoe with a camera in his basement. Yes, they took away when they took away that line and the stand, they took away that that that that shield. This is what we get now. This is what we get now, and unfortunately we as a people are more fascinated with trash than class. It's come down to that's what's coming up to. Well, let me on this note. If you was if you was a betting woman in a boxing match, in a in a full blown boxing match, who you got Shannon or Mike as Mike ain't coming down himself, Mike coming I know all Napolis coming out. But also, no, you're gonna have that. That's gonna be like Sparter, Honey, That's gonna be like Sparta when he kicked all them soldiers over the cliff. No, you might want to go and leave that alone. Lead that don't even because go see that coming on. Let that let them go. Let that go that muckle ain't gonna block a bullet, ain't gonna knock a bullet. Well, there you have it, Coco. Listen. I love your baby, girl. Listen, I love you too, baby. It's been a funny, funny show, good conversation, and all I'm gonna say is this, Can we all just get a damn long Okay? Can we just get along? Can we get Can we get along? At the end of the day. Everybody got dreams, everybody got goals, everybody. I'm upst know this popcorn? Hey listen, Hey, listen, I keep getting corn in my teeth, little shell I be like that. Yeah, listen, it's just too much going on. But listen, we all want people to get alone. We want people to get along, We want people to to brive. And guess what if we come together, if we work together, it's a lot of great things that we can do together as a community.
