Kimberly Elise is the latest star to publicly show Almost Christmas co-star Mo’Nique support following her call to boycott Netflix for racial and gender bias.
The John Q actress took to Twitter to let the comic know she’s behind her, sharing, “@moworldwide so much love to you both. They want the #blackgirlmagic but have not wanted pay for it. #worthy”

One troll then asked Elise about Mo’Nique’s role in Almost Christmas, with the talented thespian giving the stand-up her just due for making the comedy a hit.
Hey @iKimberlyElise! Since @moworldwide keeps touting the success of the ENSEMBLE “hit” Almost Christmas, is she does get a deal will she share it with the cast? She didn’t make the film a hit alone.

yes it was an ensemble but @moworldwide was the sparkle and oxygen of that film. I give her a billion props for her work in it. It wouldn’t have been the same without HER. That’s the simple truth.
