The 6 God won’t be playing nice with anyone who has beef with 21.

The Oscar winner had every right to fight for the pay she felt she deserved. But the actor-comedian, who notably portrayed Nicole “Nikki” Ann Parker Oglevee on the iconic sitcom “The Parkers,” is so funny — and not enough conversations about Mo’Nique in recent years have centered just on that. This stand-up special ― her seventh overall, first for Netflix and first since 2016 ― is rightly being hailed as a “reintroduction.”

The special begins with Mo’Nique en route to the stage as we hear a voice saying “Mo’Nique is a legend” while another says “She burned too many bridges and her career is over.” There is also audio of Charlamagne Tha God calling her “Donkey of the Day” on the popular radio show “The Breakfast Club.”

It was during those same years that Mo’Nique developed her instincts to protect those perceived as vulnerable. In one instance, she approached the bullies in her school for mocking her classmate in special education. In another, she stood up to a racist school administrator that noticeably segregated the students by race.

I know intimately what that experience feels like, so I understand deeply how it impacted her to watch her Uncle Tina struggle with alcoholism because her mother couldn’t love her the way she needed to be loved. How it made Mo’Nique afraid to reveal to her grandmother who she really was due to the fear of losing her family.

Overall, Mo’Nique tackles hard subject matter and talks about the worst in people, including or especially family. She describes her mother as a gambler, her father as an alcoholic, one brother as a molester and another as a thief who tried to commit fraud in her name.

There is lighter fare in the set. This same grandmother also gave Mo’Nique the kind of instructions about giving head that lead to involuntary hospitalization at a psychiatric ward. And by the time she came to grips with her attractions to men and women, Mo’Nique still had to tell her current, and third, husband, she shares.

So much has happened to Mo’Nique, but she says she has made peace with her past. Some of the people she’s publicly fought now understand her — including Lee Daniels, whom she mentions in her set and is sitting in the audience. The two are once again working together — first on the BET+ film “The Reading,” which premiered in February, and next on “The Deliverance,” an upcoming horror film for Netflix.

A season-long photo project has helped the UF gymnastics team stay in the moment and all for the Gators.

A mom in Ontario, Canada, recently discovered TikTok gold in her 5-year-old son’s school bag.

“I opened his backpack and there was a birthday invitation in there,” Natalie LeClaire tells TODAY.com. “I started reading it and my jaw dropped. It was so honest and straight up. I was like, ‘I need to be friends with this person.’”

Now everyone wants to be friends with Carys Roberts, after LeClaire shared the hilarious invite with her TikTok followers.

“I’m flattered!” Roberts, whose twin daughters Edie and Elle are turning 5 in July, tells TODAY.com.

“This event is brought to you by Pinterest fails and the Dollar Store so please set your expectations appropriately,” Roberts wrote.

“As requested the theme will be ‘unicorns but with rainbows and maybe bats but there should be princesses and also Minnie and we need dancing lights,’ so … dress accordingly,” she continued. “Please pack a bathing suit, sunscreen, puddle jumpers etc. in case your sweet baby angels decide our original plan sucks and the pool would be a better time.” 

Roberts went on to note that parents should feel free to “drop off and run.” 

“If you want to stay, we will provide ‘adult juice’ and deny any offers to help to be polite but deep down want the support,” she wrote. “You do you.”

“I loved that detail about how if you want to drop off it’s OK, and if you want to stay that’s OK, too,” LeClaire says. “There’s always that uncertainty.”

After LeClaire posted about the epic invite on TikTok, the footage went viral with more than 4 million views.

“I am so here for this! I can’t wait till the invitation Mom finds out how many new besties she now has!” one person wrote in the comments.

Added another, “Dude. I normally dread birthday invites but I would call off work for this one. It’s gonna be lit.”

Roberts says she “whipped up” the invitation pretty quickly and hoped that parents would “find it funny.”

“Ultimately, I just didn’t want anyone to stress about gifts. The last thing we want is for people to be spending a lot of money. We’re really low-key,” Roberts says. “I’ve received a lot of great feedback and I’m truly thrilled that people thought the invitation was so relatable and funny.” 

Transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney has had a boost to her profile following the controversy surrounding her partnership with Bud Light.

Mulvaney, 26, became the center of a debate about transgender brand ambassadors when Bud Light sent her a personalized can of beer with her face on it to commemorate one year since she started her gender transition.

With her growing popularity have come a number of brand deals, including with Kate Spade and Nike, but her partnership with Bud Light has incited some violent responses from conservatives who have vowed to boycott the beer brand.

Prior to the controversy in early April, Mulvaney had 10.8 million followers on TikTok thanks to her Day 365 Of Girlhood video series which charted her first year of transitioning.

The backlash has had a positive effect on Mulvaney’s social media footprint, as she gained more than 87,000 new followers on Instagram this month.

She started April with around 1.76 million followers and gained an average of 2,901 new follows every day since. Mulvaney now has more than 1.82 million followers on Instagram, according to social media statistics website Social Blade.

The influencer is not the only social media account to get a boost following the backlash, as Bud Light also saw an increase in its social media interactions.

On Friday, it broke its social media silence following the controversy when it wrote on Twitter “TGIF?” along with an image of a Bud Light can.

The tweet had been viewed 11.1 million times as of 6 a.m. ET Monday, with more than 25,200 replies and nearly 4,700 likes. In comparison, tweets from March, before the controversy erupted, normally only got tens of thousands of views. A tweet offering the chance to “win a round of beer money” on March 24 was the last to receive over a million views.

Bud Light’s Twitter account has seen a near-4,000 follower increase in the last 30 days, according to Social Blade.

That is a rate increase of 51.3 percent and even though its following had steadily risen since early September, the growth jumped sharply in the past two weeks.

However, the brand has not fared so well on other social media channels. Bud Light lost more than 3,500 Facebook likes in the last 30 days and 3,510 Instagram followers.

A spokesperson for Anheuser-Busch, the company that owns Bud Light, told Newsweek on April 3 that it “works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics.”

The spokesperson added that the can sent to Mulvaney “was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”

Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth released his first statement since the backlash began on Friday.

“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer,” he began.

“My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.

“I care deeply about this country, this company, our brand and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others.”

The backlash to Mulvaney’s commemorative can comes at time of broader debate about the acceptance of transgender individuals in public life.

Transgender issues are also under intense legal scrutiny, with more than 385 bills targeting the trans community introduced in the U.S. in 2023 alone.

Lawmakers in some states are looking to repeal some transgender rights, including access to certain types of gender affirming healthcare and banning transgender people from using public restrooms that align with their gender identity, instead forcing them to use the restroom of their gender assigned at birth.
