The brother of Oscar winner Mo’Nique apologized to her Monday on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show for molesting her when they were children.
Gerald Imes said on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that the molestation continued for a year or two, starting when he was 13 and Mo’Nique was 7 or 8.
“I abused and betrayed the trust of another sibling, my sister, my blood sister,” Imes said. He apologized to the actress, saying, “I’m sorry, Mo’Nique. I’m sorry.”
Imes said he decided to appear on Winfrey’s show to apologize to Mo’Nique and bring their family back together. Imes said he too was molested and he was using drugs and alcohol at age 11.
