Starz’s original crime drama BMF, short for Black Mafia Family, released its second season in January 2023.
The series originally revolves around the lives of Southwest Detroit drug traffickers Demetrius Edward Flenory and Terry Lee Flenory, also known as Big Meech and Southwest Tee, respectively. However, a new character named Goldie stole the spotlight in season two of the crime show.
Goldie is a recurring character in BMF’s second season and is played by actress Mo’Nique. She appears alongside Mike Merrill, who plays Ty Washington on the show.
Monique Angela Hicks, best known by her stage name Mo’Nique, is an American actress and comedian. During her career of over two decades, she has been a part of 32 movies and TV series.

Is Goldie On BMF A Real Person?
Goldie on BMF is not based on a real person but a fictional character based on different people. Goldie represents a generic of people having similar traits.
Randy Huggins, the BMF creator, earlier revealed that he tried to make the series as accurate as possible. However, he took a few liberties to make the show interesting. The character of Goldie was possibly based on a real person with some modifications, including a name change.
In the TV show, Goldie is a strip club owner in Atlanta who goes on to form a partnership with the Big Meech and Southwest Tee. The alliance helps the Flenory brothers to make their move from Detroit to Atlanta.
Goldie is portrayed as a fierce character with undeterred love for her dancers. She is a protector of her community and can take measures to ensure that her community is safe.
Talking to Jill Munroe from EURweb, Mo’Nique opened up about her character in February 2023.
The actress said, “You know, Goldie is [for me] that sister in the community as she really dug her community and made sure her community was good. Everybody may not have liked the way she took care of the community but, nonetheless, she took care of her community. So, I think [with Goldie] she’s warm, she fell alone. But, don’t regret if she has to send you on your way.”
Mo’Nique also added that her character was loosely inspired by her aunt Vera, a 475-pound woman who didn’t adore the rules of the traditional society. According to the comedian, Goldie is a villain for some and a hero for others.
As of 2023, Goldie has appeared in three episodes of BMF season 2.
