Not so fast. After a new interview about her marriage came out on Monday, Nov. 16, MoNique took to Periscope on Thursday to set the record straight. The Oscar-winning actress, 47, said her words about her nine-year marriage to husband Sidney Hicks had been misconstrued, and gave fans her side of the story.
Biggest Celebrity Cheating Scandals Ever!
When I say Im in an open marriage, it was not my husbands idea, MoNique said in the live-streamed clip, which was shot in her car. Originally it was my idea because at the time when Sid and I got together 10 years ago now keep in mind this was my best friend since I was 14 but when we first got together I was still stuck in being famous and a celebrity and being a star, and I felt like I could have whatever I want. So I was still in an insecure place of, I can have that, I can have that, I can have that. And because I was dealing with my best friend, my best friend said, If thats what you think you need, as your best friend, I dont want to stand in the way of it.
MoNique took offense to critics claiming her husband was forcing her to make these rules so he could cheat.
It makes me laugh when people put it all off on my husband as if it was something he was doing, she said. It was my idea. Thats how I felt back then but what I didnt want to do with my best friend was to be sneaking or cheating, so we had open and honest dialogue, which unfortunately some of us are so afraid to have.

She went on to further clarify her comments about a pass to cheat, saying, We dont give each other passes to cheat, because when you cheat, you lie, when you lie, you steal.
After receiving widespread criticism from several fellow celebs including Sheryl Underwood on The Talk, MoNique said, Id like to ask those people who are so up in arms about it, what kind of relationship do you have? And when youre focused on yours, you dont have enough time to be focused on anyone elses.
The stand-up comic also revealed that she and her husband have a radio show called MoNique and Sidneys Open Relationship premiering on New Years Day where they can talk about the secrets to the success of their marriage.
Open means were open-minded to the world, she clarified. Thats what were open to. We are open to being honest to each other all the way through.
