thank you... Mo and Katt are about to cash in.
Mo'Nique Says ‘My Name Would Be Melissa McCarthy' If ‘I Was a White Woman': ‘Same Track Record,' but ‘Opportunities Aren't the Same' in Hollywood
"If I was a white woman, do you know what my name would be? Melissa McCarthy," Mo'Nique told host Shannon Sharpe. "If I was a white woman, my name would be Melissa McCarthy. Same track record! Five-year sitcom in syndication. The opportunities are not the same."
McCarthy starred on the CBS sitcom "Mike and Molly" for six seasons and won an Emmy for outstanding actress in a comedy series. Mo'Nique headlined UPN's "The Parkers" for five seasons. She ended up collecting many awards for her film role in "Precious," which won her the Academy Award for best supporting actress alongside honors from the BAFTA Film Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Golden Globes. Mo'Nique is also a Grammy Award nominee and an Emmy nominee for her performance in the HBO movie "Bessie."
Mo'Nique suggested that her awards success and hit television show did not lead to a similar career like McCarthy's, who was Oscar-nominated for "Bridesmaids" and "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" and has headlined and produced many comedy films. Mo'Nique has long accused Hollywood of blackballing her after she refused to play the awards season campaign game during "Precious."

If being nommed or winning that trophy DOESN'T significantly improve your career and based on the history it DOES NOT..then what the fuck good is it??
With no Vaseline..smh
Sadly so true.
Kevin gave her money when she was down bad and I doubt it was a loan. To her credit she paid him back with interest when she was finally on her feet.
He spoke to her and had her back when many didn't. They minute one thing went wrong she's back to shitting on him. Whether what Kevin did was right or wrong, the man looked out for you when no one else did.
Katt's her fraternal twin, soul Brotha and whatever other term of endearment she chooses to use right now.
If Katt does one thing that she perceives as wrong it'll be fuck him and everyone that knows him.
At this point like many have learned, it's best just to stay away from her.
Lady ( @Camille ) and gentleman (the rest of you mugs) of the jury I would like to point out there is bias....BIAS and DOUBLE STANDARD afoot in this here thread.
I contend that a number of posters here have stated that they hold no prejudice against Mo'Nique but that her actions and behavior has caused their ill-will towards her. When its pointed out that she's only doing what other have done but the PECEPTION and REACTION to it is viciously NEGATIVE. People in this thread vigorously insist this not the case..
Well here is the proof.
Turns out it WAS a roll out for a tour shes going to be on....She did the EXACT same thing that Katt Williams did (and in fact is going on TOUR with him) but somehow its worse coming from her... The issue is that she's a broken record by rehashing the same beefs and issues from a decade ago..but did katt williams say anything new in his interview?? lets go over it..
steve harvey beef, kevin hart beef, gay illuminati, faizon beef, tiffany haddish beef, black men in dresses...gate keepers..bad comedians getting shine they dont deserve..that radio interview where he roasted that chick on air)
Hmmm sounds like shit he's been talking about for years that happened years ago....BUT its ENTERTAINING and NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY when HE does it..venomous and nonsense but still entertaining...
Mo'Nique goes over the old hit list...Oprah, Tyler and Lee, people who spoke ill of her usually other comedians (DL, Tiffany and such) And its decidely NOT entertaining or exposing something or someone... its just passive aggressive and she needs to be avoided at all costs..
same action and behavior....TWO DIFFERENT reactions
But it has nothing to do with her gender and physical looks and dark complexion or weight...thats not a factor at all ladies and gentlemen....
again we are all watching this happen in REAL TIME!!!!
Has nothing to do with Chapelle. He never had beef with them or complained about how much money they gave him for his specials. There's a reason why him and Chris Rock do their comedy specials on Netflix and not on HBO anymore. They both get paid way more on Netflix than on any platform. Chapelle didn't like what comedy central did on their platform and he left and he didn't like what they tried to do with his former show with Netflix. He made a statement and they quickly complied to him. Once again his beef has always been with comedy central
the reason why mo and anyone else is fucking with netflix you answered your own question. understand netflix settled with her too AND paid her a deal she agreed to.
Chapelle never had beef with Netflix or complained about them not paying him well. Monique did. If Dave complained about his money I would of said either find another company or do it yourself. She complained and didn't find another company or do it herself. Yrs later after complain they finally did. Her and Chappelle are not the same. She never went looking for another option. Yrs later still talks about it after it's been resolved
she did do another option...she did a residency at vegas. and you said netflix pays the most of all of them..
What did she initially ask for? What did she think she was worth? Did she get that exact number? How long did it take for her to get her special? Would she had made more doing it on her own?
why did netflix settle if they did nothing wrong?? why not only did they do a comedy special but also a movie with her if she's not worth anything? why did a judge in the case side with mo in declaring that netflix negotiated in bad faith??? Why arent you happy this black woman won her case and got reparations for a fucked up deal??
Oh so a court had to step in? So Netflix didn't give her money cause they thought she was worth it they gave it to her due to force. They offered her money and it was up to her to negotiate or take it or leave it. Who said I wasn't happy for her. Did you ever see me go I'm mad she made money nope. She made money now move on
Mo is toxic and everyone knows this. You would be a fool to work with her.no one wants to admit it but you SEE it. dark skin heavy set females are left out in the cold..by their own people. Mo has an issue with a racist white run industry that clearly under values her and OPRAH and the reaction was shut the fuck up and take whatever they give you fat bitch. Black women in the industry are silent.
A DECADE OR SO LATER....
Taraji has THE SAME ISSUE with the same people involved.... a racist white run industry that clearly under values her and OPRAH.... then she sheds a tear and all the black women in the industry came running to her aid all the black men were like "its a damn shame something needs to be done"
you see it happening IN REAL TIME. She does the exact same thing other people are doing but they get a pass...when she does it everyone takes issue. And everyone wants to pretend theres no inherent bias.
you may not be mad but you sure are skeptical of the settlement... look at that section of the interview where shay shay brings up netflix...listen to her response...its not bitter its a lesson... it actually answers all your questions.
Scarlett Johansson took Disney to court over it all, because she had been promised (and deserved, tbh) that the movie would hit theaters. In a new interview with Variety, Johansson talked about how the lawsuit affected her — and earned her a legion of supporters — and how even with that battle against her boss, she's still (and always will be) a Disney Adult. No hard feelings.
As the suit made headlines, Johansson said that she was met with support, not criticism.
And she's working with Disney again, too, even though she explained that Natasha Romanoff's story in the MCU has wrapped up. She'll be in the upcoming Tower of Terror film, directed by Taika Waititi.
why is it okay for ScarJo to talk about the problem she had with DISNEY after shit was settled but its fake and problem for Monique to talk about Netflix after the shit was settled???
white woman does something = its okay
black woman does the SAME THING = she's a bitch
I'm telling yall theres a REAL BIAS going on....
you would be foolish to believe rumors started by cacs and perpetuated by false friends.

Is it possible thar you're married to a heavy set black woman who works in the entertainment industry and refers to you as daddy?

Movie stars and comedians have seperate deals so please do not compare the two. One deals with box offices and points.. literally some movie stars get a percentage of the box office, dvd sales, etc. . Standup comedy gets an offer and you choose whether or not you agree or disagree. Scarlet signed a contract and when a percentage of her income was in jeopardy she sued Netflix. Monique didn’t like the offer and complained. One was under contract one was not.. Monique is not scarlet.. you obviously think a person with a 10 day contract in the nba is comparable to Steph curry contract. They are completely different. Learn about pay wages and contracts b4 comparing 2 diff things
Some would say you would be foolish to believe everything an “actress” says being they act for livingyou would be foolish to believe rumors started by cacs and perpetuated by false friends.
oh I get all that... I'm not talking about specifics I'm talking about standing on principle. You wanna talk apple for apple amy shumer agreed to a deal and dollar figure then changed her mind and complained. Now do I think and am I saying Mo should get 13 million like amy..NO thats not the point the point is amy stood on her priniciple..I'm worth more than that... she didnt drop out and four wall it and shoot her own special and sell it out of the trunk car. She went public and complained to her fanbase and publicly shamed netflix who then gave her what she thought she was worth. She stood on her principles and won and YOU dont have a problem with that at all.
Well mo did the same thing and now you got all the answers...she needs to go someplace else..she needs to shoot her own specials and post them on her own platform blah blah blah. But she stood on her principle...netflix settled gave her her money and did a movie with her and your all
for licensed content including comedy specials - in addition to the upfront licensing fee Netflix also pays out a residual based on content viewership
after whatever agreed upon metrics are met or surpassed netflix cuts additional checks for residuals
if thats true then tariji is lying...is that what your saying?? those tears were fake??

Her babies as she calls you her fanbase . Ya pocket watch everybody else and use everybody else situation to argue. Everybody else don’t name drop a billion people. When Dave felt a certain way with Comedy Central he didn’t name every single comedian that ever live, movie actor, extra, security guard to prove his point. He just fell back and left.. in less than 2 pages you have name white actress, comedians, black comedians, actors, black actress etc when we talking about Monique. Lot of pocket watching instead of just talking about your situation. Like I said if you have a problem with the offer you could negotiate, step and find another company, or do it yourself. 2024 and ya still talking about shit that happened yrs ago. Even though she end up getting bread in the end. Why you still talking about it. It’s like a broad being 40 and married with a dude for 10 yrs but still bringing up her highschool boyfriend . Bitch get over it. You got a whole nother situation why are you still talking about your boyfriend that you had when you were 16oh I get all that... I'm not talking about specifics I'm talking about standing on principle. You wanna talk apple for apple amy shumer agreed to a deal and dollar figure then changed her mind and complained. Now do I think and am I saying Mo should get 13 million like amy..NO thats not the point the point is amy stood on her priniciple..I'm worth more than that... she didnt drop out and four wall it and shoot her own special and sell it out of the trunk car.

Dl hughley situation
note: you havent actually disproved or disputed the points I posted your shifting the argument to pocket watching...
why can everyone else do something and its okay but if she does the exact same thing it its a problem????
you can bring up chappelle to make a point but I cant bring up shumer to make a point??
amy shumer didnt do that....no reaction from you
scarjo gets a settlement and talks about it after...no reaction from you
why can everyone else do something and its okay but if she does the exact same thing it its a problem????
Actually it was you that brought up Dave chapelle first I never mentioned his name.
You brought up Dave chapelle name first not I… like I said you can’t make a solid argument without using other people situationnote: you havent actually disproved or disputed the points I posted your shifting the argument to pocket watching...
you can bring up chappelle to make a point but I cant bring up shumer to make a point??
