Mo'Nique got to know Sandra Bullock very well this year, as both attended countless award shows together -- and picked up Academy Awards.
Now, as Best Actress Oscar winner Bullock, 45, battles allegations that her husband Jesse James, 40, had an affair with a tattoo model, the Precious star, 42, wants her to know she's there for her.
"To my sweet sister Sandra, my prayers are with you," the Best Supporting Actress winner said on Entertainment Tonight Monday. "My prayers are also with your husband, baby. That is between the two of you and I hope ya'll make it work.

"It's hard," Mo'Nique went on, "but that's their business. Let them go through their situation ... I don't wish her nothing but happiness, along with her husband. ... I don't want to see any marriages dissolve or break up."

Before the interview ended, she said: "Sandra, if you need me, sugar, call me, baby..."
Interestingly, Mo'Nique - who has known her husband Sidney Hicks for 25 years - has an open marriage.
"Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That's not a deal-breaker," she recently told Barbara Walters. "That's not something that would make us say, 'Pack your things and let's end the marriage.'"

She said it didn't matter if he had numerous flings, either.
"What if it's 20 times?" she said. "So what? We've been best friends for over 25 years, and we truly know who we are. Oftentimes, people get into marriages and they don't know who they're laying next to. I'm very comfortable and secure with my husband."
Tell Us What You Think
42the reason why MOnique marriage is open is because her man is totally gay and probably has something on the side.
I meant to say you shouldnt be married stay single, a marriage is for 2 people who want to be with each other only.
I just think that the whole idea about this open marriage thing is crazy. God meant for a mariiage to be between one woman and one man, if you want to have a relationship with someone else then you really should be married stay single. Everything is changing so much and it seems like no one has any morals now.
Why would Sandra call Mo'Nique? LOL! She should be the last person Sandra calls for advice.
It's one thing to forgive infidelity ... and quite another thing to condone it. People do make mistakes - and you may choose to forgive out of love. But to tell your spouse that have permission to openly disregard the vow you made to each other (forsaking all others) means you are a fool ... and you truly have no "marriage" at all.
The same thing that happens in open marriages happens in traditional marriages. Whether you give your spouse permission or not..IT STILL CAN HAPPEN TO YOU ANYWAY. Regardless of how high your Self-esteem, how cute your are, how serious you take your vows, your faithfulness, your wealth, your body type, religion and so forth. At least Mo'Nique is real and aware of the world she lives in. All this says to me is, regardless of how much you love someone and how much they say they love you. People are going to do what they choose and you have no control over that. Which is the same thing Sandra is going through and anyone else who is married and have gone through it, if not still going through it. Or those who have divorced because of it. She's happy with who she's with so I don't see why everyone is so upset.
They keep saying that she has known her husband for 25 years as if they have been together romantically for 25 years. They were friends!!! So pleas do not act like she has kept him happy for 25 years because of open marriage
TOTAL BULL CRAP!HE SCREWS OTHERS BUT NOT YOU MONIQUE! GET YOUR CONFIDENCE BACK WOMAN! OPEN RELATIONSHIP MY FOOT!
What a ding ding. Keep a husband who brings you STDFs by the buckets. Something way wrong with this woman to have such low self esteem that a cheating husband is not big deal to her. What a loser mentality!
marriage is hard an stressful i dont believe in open marriage for me but for someone else if it makes them happy then so be it. The out come isnt always positive someone will eventually get hurt. But I feel if sandra an he man were ment to be they will if not the wont. no reason to get all hiped about it. Either way i wish Sandra the best
Boom ---STFU !!!!
Please tell that Mo'nique person that she knows NOTHING about marriage or what it's designed and supposed to be and she has NOTHING to offer poor Sandra Bullock or anyone else for that matter! She has an 'open marriage' because she's so obese that she knows her regular sized 'husband' could get it anywhere he wanted and would, so she says she doesn't mind if he has sex outside their sham of a marriage. He's just in it for her money, she has to learn to realize that. Until then, shut your unwanted trap, Mo'nique and leave Sandra alone!
She got what she married and is upset now? : Don't speak for all women, honey. Maybe you are so insecure with YOUR womanhood that you need to cheat on a man to feel good about yourself, but the majority of us value commitment. I would never cheat on my husband because I made a promise not to. You obviously have honesty and loyalty issues. You need a therapist.
First off, Luke is a bitter toad who couldn't get laid if he was a pillow. Secondly, this has nothing to do with "nature". It has to do with something called "commitment", something most men don't understand. If a man is attracted to another woman, that's natural. To act on that urge simply because you have it, when you have promised someone that you wouldn't? That's low moral character. A man has an obligation - no matter how pissed he is at his wife - to go to her and say 'There's a problem, we need to talk it out.' instead of unzipping his fly and using another woman as his personal toilet. THAT is what men do not know how to do. Period. And third, ladies, just do what I did. Before you get married, get a pre-nup with an infidelity clause. I'm lucky I chose a man who doesn't believe in infidelity, but who knows, 50% of men say that when they get married. In any case, if hubby does stray and I can prove it, I get paid. Let's face it, men love their money and if they know they'll have to part with it, maybe they'll think twice about keeping it in their pants.
I'm not shocked at shat Luke cus I'm the one cheating lmaooo. Oh and those vibrators.....girls you all gotta get one if you don't have one.
let me guess you ladies who have something negative to say have a bf that likes to fu4k around lol
ya hope you like the stds hes probably bringing home to your hairy self too! cheating is a total deal breaker to a woman with self esteem!
That's very nice of Monique!
In the shower, doing the laundry, even reading a book, we don't need you LUKE or the likes thereof, to get us to the BIG O! OH oh oh... is that you wondering what your girlfriend/wife is really doing while you are on the golfcourse? Why she is more than happy when she gets out of her bath? or Why all the sudden you wanting to go out with the guys is no big deal? For us ladies LUKE, we don't need a guy or a woman for that matter to cheat on you! Just a AAA battery, and a nice little hiding spot for our little friend that get us from 0 to 100 before you can get your zipper undone! So, while you are out acting like deer in rut, we are already on to the next OH OH OH! ha ha.. what an idiot!
Don't think most of us don't have toys hidden around, because eventually, luke, you don't do it for us! Yeah we moan and carry on for the sake of you precious "manhood", but eventually we all need to get the job done that only a battery can take care of! So, before you start bragging about women being cheated on by their superior husbands, you don't have a clue what us women do when you guys "stepping out". We can get off just as easily and most times better with a little thing called a vibrator! LOL... Luke, just like most men, your blind to what women can do without you! HA HA, so cute, luke, so cute.
