MO’NIQUE IN ELEVATOR SCARE
MO’NIQUE was given a scare on the first night of her comedy tour - she wa s trapped in an elevator for 20 minutes after the show.
The Oscar-winner kicked off her Spread the Love stand-up shows in New O rleans, Louisiana last Friday (19Mar10), but the opening night turned sou r after the jokes ended and the star was ushered off to meet fans backsta ge.
Mo’Nique entered an elevator with several associates and a camera crew from U.S. TV show Entertainment Tonight when the carriage came to a sudde n halt and they were left stranded.
The comedienne soon became irritated and phoned her husband, Sidney Hic ks, to complain, yelling into her cell phone, ‘We’re stuck in an elevator ! Do something!" Mo’Nique was later handed the security guard’s walkie-talkie and she wa s filmed shouting irately, "I am stuck in this damn elevator! I don’t kno w what’s going on, but I will be up there as soon as they let me out of t his damn elevator. I’m trying not to cuss! I am stuck on the elevator!" After 20 minutes, the doors were released and Mo’Nique was able to meet and greet the waiting fans, telling them, ‘Thank you all for being so pa tient."
