Mo'Nique Breakfast Club Interview...she buggin.

[Sampson]

6 minutes onwards, Whoopi, a well decorated veteran, is trying to show everyone how she tried to put Monique on some game. Look at how quick Monique was in dismissing her.

Come on, it’s easy to see how she was “blackballed”. Who would want to work with someone that difficult? Even though someone is trying to fight your corner, you still come across as combative.

...and at another point "26 times" was mentioned. That's 13 mil.

not by her or her husband...I watched the entire video...they maintained throughout the video a specific counteroffer was never mentioned but alluded to $2 million being a minimum number...dude made the claim that she was seeking $13 million as the basis for labeling her “donkey of the day”...I would like for someone to post a video or an article where she states that or even says she wants to be paid as much as chappelle rock or schumer...she used them as a reference for being extremely lowballed...like them she wanted to be paid what she felt she was worth...that doesn’t equate to being paid the same as them...and based on the video she provides what I believe to be a reasonable “ballpark” figure of what appearing on a netflix special would be worth to her

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

Mo'Nique made some valid points.....but when it pertains to whats she's going through, I think its more so business/relationships than anything else.

Also.......I hate when Sistas hang their hats on that "Brotha vs Sista" narrative. "White & Latin Man supported me, but Brothas didnt!" . Charlemange and the rest of the Brothas she mentioned dont speak for me. So please stop that Black Men do this and that bs.


Btw...she looks good for her age.

 

[LSN]

So here a few things I gather from this......

1) Am I the only one grossed out by the whole "Daddy" shit? She talks about how she's doing this for black women and future black women.......but for someone claiming to be independent.....she's being submissive enough to call her husband "Daddy" outside of the bedroom?

it was a little hot...she gives off an auntie vibe to me tho so I couldn’t get into it...that being said I can’t see a business relationship where a woman openly refers to the man as “daddy” (even if he is her husband) ending well for the woman lol

 

[praetor]

During the interview the $500k number was mentioned, and at another point "26 times" was mentioned. That's 13 mil.

I'll try to find the timestamps in the interview.

not by her or her husband...I watched the entire video...they maintained throughout the video a specific counteroffer was never mentioned but alluded to $2 million being a minimum number...dude made the claim that she was seeking $13 million as the basis for labeling her “donkey of the day”...I would like for someone to post a video or an article where she states that or even says she wants to be paid as much as chappelle rock or schumer...she used them as a reference for being extremely lowballed...like them she wanted to be paid what she felt she was worth...that doesn’t equate to being paid the same as them...and based on the video she provides what I believe to be a reasonable “ballpark” figure of what appearing on a netflix special would be worth to her

At 22:55 in the interview, her husband says half a million

At 35:00 in the interview, her husband says 1/26th.

 

[Mr. Met]

Wow! Is this bitch serious?

How can anybody fuck with her at this point?

 

[LSN]

At 22:55 in the interview, her husband says half a million

At 35:00 in the interview, her husband says 1/26th.

you’re just saying what I already know and mentioned...yes they brought up amy schumer’s number and compared how severely lowballed monique was to amy schumer by mentioning monique was offered 1/26th of what schumer was offered...again (my second or third time saying this) mentioning how much she was lowballed doesn’t equate to her wanting the same pay just that she felt she deserved more and AGAIN she gave an idea of how much she felt it’d be worth to do the special @ a minimum ($2 million)

 

[AllUniverse17]

Link me then? Cause I didn't hear her say a number

I apologize it was not the first breakfast club interview where she said that, it was the Sway interview. She said she wants 20 mill like the legends got. 33 minute mark.

 

[Amajorfucup]

I apologize it was not the first breakfast club interview where she said that, it was the Sway interview. She said she wants 20 mill like the legends got. 33 minute mark.

Even if she did say that... why keep harping on that one time as opposed to the numerous times she said that she doesnt deserve what the legends got?

6 minutes onwards, Whoopi, a well decorated veteran, is trying to show everyone how she tried to put Monique on some game. Look at how quick Monique was in dismissing her.

Her response was dismissive? You guys are so cemented in your stance to trash the woman that you lack the ability to objectively listen to anything she says and adjust your perspective and opinions accordingly.

 

[LSN]

???

$3 million? what am I missing...where does $3 million come into play?

 

[LSN]

I apologize it was not the first breakfast club interview where she said that, it was the Sway interview. She said she wants 20 mill like the legends got. 33 minute mark.

I’m gonna go see if I can find that...if she actually said that and was serious then ya she’s “crazy” lol

I hear what you're saying, but if that 20 mil number is true, then they really weren't saying she shouldn't get the same, they were saying she should get MORE. Lol.

I'm about to check that video out now.

 

[BK Pop]

I feel that she wasted an opportunity 2 promote herself and discuss what her plans are going forward so that she can get back on top of the game. This interview was a total waste for her to bring her big ass in there and basically pick a fight with a shock jock over an opinion piece. The shit was almost as funny as the Birdman appearance

 

[LSN]

This interview was a total waste for her...

when amy schumer threw a tantrum demanding she be paid more for her netflix special...cats here rightfully clowned her BUT the media championed her cause and made it into a whole gender bias thing...monique expected a bit more support from the breakfast club considering the influence they have on her demographic or @ the very least not to be relegated to “donkey of the day” status...she went up there to explain her side...maybe she could’ve been a bit more jovial in the nature tho

 

[BDR]

I got a feeling her condensending way of talking to people got her blackballed. Usually when people accuse people of something they are diverting the attention away from them doing the very same thing they are accusing. She seems more like the bully. Maybe she carried that precious role with her after the movie like PAC did from juice.

Or maybe she’s always been that Precious role in her real life..

 

[praetor]

It seems like she really did say (in the sway interview) she wanted $20 mil. Maybe she would have taken 10 and just been unhappy about it?

 

[BDR]

So because they gave the hottest producer and content creator in television a fair deal, they cant possibly have bias or unfair dealings with an unaffiliated comedian?

Your logic is flawed at best.

Monique ain’t bring shit to the table yet she asking for Chapple money..

Shonda got the resume to demand that type of bread

Look at black panther director it’s only his third film but the first 2 he proved his movies are box office draws

Fruitville station 900k budget and it made 17 mill
Creed 40 mill budget and made 170 mill
Black panther 200 mill budget and the shit is approach 1 billy

Monique gotta come correct and stop pointing fingers..

Monique never compared herself to those directors tho. And its fair to say she shouldnt point fingers if thats what you think shes doing. But i think its fair for her to question a 500k number based on the other numbers paid out by Netlifx.

 

[footloose]

Or maybe she’s always been that Precious role in her real life..

Could be.

 

[Sampson]

Stop. You can’t talk about being objective when you refuse to do so yourself. I even said earlier in the thread she made some valid points.

However, that video I posted clearly showed she has a massive chip on her shoulder when someone who has years on her in the industry, tried to school her on why she got blackballed.

Anyone trying to make it seem like Monique is fighting for altruistic purposes is lying to themselves. Most people agree that what she was offered was an insult, but most people can see she’s not on the same level as Rock and Chappelle, nor does she have the popularity of Amy Schumer.

She’s trying to make it a race/gender issue when it really comes down to her not having the talent or popularity. I bet you can’t name me any “classic” Monique bit from her stand up. Just one. I’ll wait.

 

[keone]

???

$3 million? what am I missing...where does $3 million come into play?

ctg said somebody at netflix told him that she was offered 3 million dollars and not 500k.
she posted that i guess to prove that it was false

 

[AllUniverse17]

Even if she did say that... why keep harping on that one time as opposed to the numerous times she said that she doesnt deserve what the legends got?

Im not harping on it. Somebody asked for the link.

What i am harping on though is the fact that she dancing around the economics of the situation. I keep repeating that we are talking about money.

CTG kept asking her to justify the payday. She kept saying she doesnt need to justify it. If she believes she is worth "x" then she should be able to justify it using numbers.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Stop. You can’t talk about being objective when you refuse to do so yourself. I even said earlier in the thread she made some valid points.

Im not sure you know what objective means.. It surely isnt giving her a "valid points" nod and then qualifying it with how wrong and/or delusional she is.

However, that video I posted clearly showed she has a massive chip on her shoulder when someone who has years on her in the industry, tried to school her on why she got blackballed.

Again, im not sure you know what objectivity is.. But if all you surmised from the clip was that she has a massive chip and then dont even acknowledge that she may be a bit justified in feeling as though she has to be on the defensive... then i dont know what to tell you my man. But objective you are not.

 

[BDR]

Monique never compared herself to those directors tho. And its fair to say she shouldnt point fingers if thats what you think shes doing. But i think its fair for her to question a 500k number based on the other numbers paid out by Netlifx.

But Netflix is clearly using ticket sales, venues and algorithms to come up with that 500k.. broad hasn’t done shit to demand anything above 10 mill

 

[Ryokurin]

Wow! Is this bitch serious?

How can anybody fuck with her at this point?

So her point that she couldn't work for two years wasn't completely true. She couldn't use the same MATERIAL over the next two years. I don't think that's out of the ordinary. Yes, I know it's hard to come up with good material, but shit. 500K or 2 million, if she does netflix and then say a year from now someone sees her and it's the same show, of course they will be pissed.

 

[keone]

when amy schumer threw a tantrum demanding she be paid more for her netflix special...cats here rightfully clowned her BUT the media championed her cause and made it into a whole gender bias thing...monique expected a bit more support from the breakfast club considering the influence they have on her demographic or @ the very least not to be relegated to “donkey of the day” status...she went up there to explain her side...maybe she could’ve been a bit more jovial in the nature tho

tthis all it is. ctg gave her donkey of the day but at the same time he wants to support her getting her money up? shit doesnt make sense. in the interview she made it clear she at least wants 2 million after that it should be done. but ctg wanted to go back on the fact that she said that she want s the same as the others.

 

[Amajorfucup]

But Netflix is clearly using ticket sales, venues and algorithms to come up with that 500k.. broad hasn’t done shit to demand anything above 10 mill

Def nothing that high based on the other numbers.. But 500k is absolutely a low ball figure.

 

[keone]

Def nothing that high based on the other numbers.. But 500k is absolutely a low ball figure.

she proved me right in the interview. i said on here that she deserved between 3 - 5 million dollars. if netflix offered he that she would have taken the deal. 500k is crazy.

to be real tho i think amy schumer fucked it up for everybody. they gave her too much money and didnt see the result they wanted.
so they are going to give you a crazy low money offer now and when the numbers are positive, you would get more in with your second deal.

but at the end of the day people want to say netflix supports a lot of black people.
netflix is still white and when its not popular to mess with us they will drop us as fast. never forget that

Hate to say it. But her classic bits was when she was fat or plump. And her jokes were related to that.

 

[footloose]

One thing I've learned from all this is ya gotta kind a be a likeable person to get people to wanna join ya. That's half her problem right there.

 

[Amajorfucup]

o be real tho i think amy schumer fucked it up for everybody. they gave her too much money and didnt see the result they wanted.

Yea. i think they took a L on that Schumer deal and have adjusted offers going forward. No way she deserved the initial 11million, le alone the bump to 13.

but at the end of the day people want to say netflix supports a lot of black people.
netflix is still white and when its not popular to mess with us they will drop us as fast. never forget that

Exactly. They are serving their bottom line. And because that happens to currently involve producing content with black faces doesnt mean they should be automatically absolved of any current or future discussions pertaining to possible bias.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Yea because rich and famous people are never accused of being assholes or hard to work with.

i hear you bro and i saw the clip. whoopi was saying what she was saying. the thing is she didnt play the game. she did contractually she did nothing wrong. but hollywood is a ''who fucks with you business''
if she went to cannes, she would have been in every fag daniels project.

but that was her point.

 

[footloose]

Yea because rich and famous people are never accused of being assholes or hard to work with.

Yea. But they never need us for nothing.

 

[footloose]

Yea because rich and famous people are never accused of being assholes or hard to work with.

Shit ain't turn out good for nicki either. and she's at the top of her game. Monique ain't. So she fighting an uphill battle.
