The emails between a rep for Daniels and Mo'Nique however also revealed that the network decided to back away before signing Taraji P. Henson on to the role.
Mo'Nique has said in the past that she was originally tapped as Cookie but many didn't believe her because it was around the time she also said Daniels told her she was blackballed in Hollywood after the two worked together on Precious. So at the time she appeared to be a woman scorned. But now she's provided proof. Check it out below.
