SEX WORKER ROLE
Goldie in BMF 2023
Character Is A Strip Club Owner
BMF is an American crime drama series that follows the Black Mafia Family, a drug trafficking and money laundering organization.
Mo’Nique plays Goldie, a sophisticated Atlanta strip club owner with swagger and street smarts. She allies with the Flenory brothers, who will help fuel their migration from Detroit to Atlanta. A fierce protector of her dancers and the people in her world, Goldie isn’t afraid to take care of business, no matter the cost.
In an interview with Variety Mo’Nique says about her character:
“You know what I love about Goldie? She’s the community’s hero, but the government’s villain. What I love about Goldie is she loves her community. She loves those girls. She loves the people around her, but she may not be what’s considered an upstanding person in the Christian community. She’s unapologetic about who she is.”
“She reminds me of my Aunt Vera. When I was a younger girl, I would go and visit with my Aunt Vera — anything you thought you wanted, my Aunt Vera could get it. If there were sisters in the neighborhood who couldn’t see their babies, my Aunt Vera made sure those babies ate. If there was some brothers in the neighborhood who need to be bailed out, my Aunt Vera would make sure they were bailed out. She had a heart full of gold, but what we deem is wrong and not full of morals or principles — that’s how the law looked at her, but the community looked at her with nothing but love and respect.”
