Wanda Sykes Thanks Mo’Nique for Speaking Out Against Netflix, Who Sykes Says Offered Her Even Less Money

On Friday, Mo’Nique took to Instagram to call for a Netflix boycott, accusing the streaming giant of gender and racial bias. Her assertion? That Netflix attempted to lowball her while negotiating a deal for her upcoming comedy special. While Netflix’s offer of $500,000 might seem impressive, the actress says in a video it’s nowhere near what, say, Dave Chappelle or Amy Schumer received for the same product.

(Both comedians received eight-figure deals.)

If Mo’Nique was dismayed by her potential payday, she’s apparently not the only female performer of color to have the same reaction.

On Sunday, comedian Wanda Sykes applauded the Precious star for airing her grievances. “@moworldwide, thank you for speaking out. @netflix offered me less than half of your $500k,” the Curb Your Enthusiasm actress tweeted.

Fortunately in Sykes’s case, she says she was able to strike a more satisfying deal with a different network. Tweeted Sykes, “I was offended but found another home. #EPIX.”

Wow

 

[Dr. Truth]

She's not funny either. Why would I pay Jay Cutler 20 Million if Tom Brady is available?.

P.s. fuck Tom Brady

I mean.... again... it’s wanda Sykes.

I’m going to need some of the female Asian and Mexican comics who have done Netflix specials to say their amounts.

I just can’t support this shit because Netflix is constantly giving minorities a vehicle to produce shows, animated shows, movies, comedy specials, docs.....

Hell just look at that trailer that I posted for that Come Sunday movie...

Man ain’t nobody boycotting Fucking Netflix.

 

[CptMARVEL]

So, a "C" list comedienne (who NOBODY is jocking to see) co-signed Monique.
I'm so impressed...

Next up:
Kathy Griffin gives her useless and unwanted (2) cents in 5,4,3,2,1...

 

[2 ONE 3]

fuck Wanda

@ the responses.

 

[Ill Paragraph]

Peace,

@ the responses.

Disgusting. Exactly the shit that we saw in the Mo’Nique thread. These cats will eagerly defend white America as long as it is attacking black women.

 

[Onpoint]

It'd be different if she was hot right now or people were clamoring to see her but her buzz is dead. Now if they offered just 500K to someone like Tiffany Haddish who's on fire she'd have a case....

 

[doe moe]

Anyone know the last big thing Wanda had popping? I haven't seen her name in a headline in forever.

It’s shameful. Niggas need Mexicans Asians for validation over a person who shares their hue

Can you even speak on what there is to defend?

Whats at play here?

 

[Dr. Truth]

Yall need to knock off the fake militant rage. The same shit would be said about any non funny cac or other. I say the same shit about wack ass Mike epps.

 

[clitsational]

broads continue to b delusional and try to make the subject different than it is

u have no audience is not racism

strictly business

triflin broads tried to compare themselves to mr chappelle

[Slowhands]

smh

 

[double1]

ok...rather you are for or against Monique.
i would like to pose a real question and get as many honest answers as possible.. Before ask I will state that I am a Netflix Subscriber,,a Nigga enjoys there Variety and Products and I would give a fuck If They Ever put a comedy special with her unfunny,, funny looking,, drama queening,,irritating ass on it..In fact if it was on there I probably would not even bother watching it and if I did i am pretty sure i would not watch the whole thing unless she just shocked the fuck out of me and got on some for real funny shit..Aint nobody subscribing to Netflix because they added a Monique special... Now that I got that off my chest here is the question....

How Many of you Guys would pay to See her do any kind of Special.?? From a big Show at the Garden to a fucking stream on the internet that you can pay a little of nothing for,,,
Name your place and what you would pay.......
And let me go first as if I came along on this thread myself..

"Not a Fucking Red Cent that's what Youtube is for and I still would not ever search for her shit... Never Have.. Legend My Ass!!!!!!"

I would assume

Kevin is saying they don't buy from him. A white guy. And he isn't bitching about it at all

Amy Schumer was buzzing in 2015 then went dead. Her show tanked and her movie last year lost money. Yet Netflix still paid her off (which they probably regret because no one checked it out). So when you compare her to Sykes or Mo’ (whose track records are far superior than that joke stealing CAC) it makes you think, why aren’t they getting paid the same?

I like how Wanda just kept it moving and went elsewhere though. She didn’t let them stop her shine. That’s what Mo’ should do. Speak out but fuck the boycott BS. There are plenty of outlets clamoring for content. Make a move to one and get your paper.

That un funny cac sells out arenas with fellow crackas. They think she's funny. She is also a lead in movies. The bitch makes money and Netflix sees that. Wanda Sykes has never had a leading role in anything

Even further, do you think she even makes 500k a year on the road as a comic? Take a looo at her your dates

http://www.ticketmaster.com/monique-tickets/artist/837988

From what I see it's all comedy rooms- 350-400 seaters. She's doing two shows a night there, but Amy shumer is doing theaters and casinos when she was touring

http://www.livenation.com/artists/50742/amy-schumer


Looking at IG followers, Amy has 4.6M while Monique as 211K. That's 28 times as much.

Amy is killing Monique on every scale CURRENTLY. I don't see how Monique thinks her amount of time in comedy makes a difference in what people are willing to pay to see her NOW.

Gotta cosign this. Yes there fuckery in the bizness and Monique is done with the bullshit. I support her stand . She ain’t winning this boycott tho. And yes I would pay to see Wanda and/or Monique standup show.
She’s fucking up with the “most accomplished” shit. That’s some Umar ego shit there. How the fuck you forget about Whoopi?

 

[Deezz]

That's the thing....Dave, Shumer, and the other comedians would get similar money if they went to another outlet. Wanda and Monique are not getting that kind of money from anyone. It's not just Netflix that doesn't find them that funny. It's EVERYBODY!

BTW....It's all subjective whether you find Shumer or Chappelle or whoever funny right now. That's just what the market is willing to pay them at the moment. Dane Cook was once commanding that kind of money. That fucker can't get a a gig at Yucks Yucks now. Monique needs to STFU and quit hatin' and let these people make this money while they can.

Yo man, nobody's listening to two hours of this fat fuck. Give a timestamp or quote the pertinent text/commentary .

It’s shameful. Niggas need Mexicans Asians for validation over a person who shares their hue

So, because we don't support Monique in her clearly race baiting, sexist "endeavor", then that means we MUST be supporters of Amy Schumer and White Supremacy????
If it wasn't so absurd I'd find it funny.
But on the other hand...

 

[Amajorfucup]

Kevin is saying they don't buy from him. A white guy. And he isn't bitching about it at all

The white man say its no issue and aint complaining so everything must be gud!!!

You niggas are a disgrace.

Whats the issue exactly?

 

[BKF]

broads continue to b delusional and try to make the subject different than it is

triflin broads tried to compare themselves to mr chappelle

​

That's funny since Amy renegotiated her contract after learning what Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock were paid and felt as a female she should get the same pay as the two of them. Is she or was she delusional?

 

[dtownsfinest]

If they offering Tiffany Haddish this shit alright. But these non relevant older comedians.....who aren't funny? I understand they not settling for what they think they not worth. I even respect it. But they need to come to grips that may be people don't really think they are funny.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Whats the issue exactly?

With black men discounting and disregarding concerns of bias brought forth by black women while looking for validation of said bias from whites and non blacks? You tell me.

Shit...I don't think Tiffany is funny.
