Mo'Nique Admits To Not Being Able To Sell Out Arenas

[???]

If it was about fair compensation, Monique would've ponied up her own money....hit the road for however many tour dates, charged what she felt her content was for a ticket....filmed it, then put it out with a streaming service.


But Monique want to set fire to everything and everyone cause Netflix aint treating her right.

Addicted to ready made shyt, majority of people don't know what it takes to create a product, they know how to use them though.

Monique is scared of creating her own shyt, she feels so much better with that 'ready to go' shyt that has been ingrained in her skull.

 

[???]

she needs another set of eyes, ears. its like in boxing when fighters have their pops training them and wives managing them. her hubby is intelligent but he isnt street smart and doesnt know how to spin things. yes, he loves her and he means well but he dont know how to hustle. the shyt they spoutin is transparent as fukk. they are getting emotional instead of being sly. like what platform is she on to further her brand? she needs to be on Ryan Leslie's shyt. its amazing how she out here talmbout movies and shyt from years ago and saying she is a legend and trying to use that as clout to demand more pay.

They want that ready made shyt, they don't want to build shyt with parts out of a box, that's too much work for them, they like being catered to and not doing the catering themselves.

hmm. You're advocating that you can't hold netflix accountable and be on tour?...she have always been on tour, thus how she makes her money and is the reason why netflix made an offer
she was recently promoting some new project too
So she's doing exactly what you're suggesting.

At what point are you going to ask netflix for their critieria so that your argument is solidified with proofs. Instead of making suggestions and claims that she proven to either have already done or isn't true?

She should go through the crowdfunding route with all the momentum she has right now because waiting for all those peanut checks from hollywood is just a waste of time imo. They are giving all her roles to that octavia spencer broad and niecy nash anyway, it's over for her.

Hollywood people hate when they get dissed in public so they do all sorts of crazy shyt to ruin your life, monique is not thinking about this critically, she's going to pay for all the excessive name dropping.

right again. Go-along-to-get-along is the way to go about your business, otherwise you won't be sitting at the table. Who cares if you're eating, at least you sitting at the table

Or maybe since you "decorated" or whatever, start a tour for the up and coming comedians and create your own lane instead of asking people to make space for you. Who was the folks behind Shaq's Comedy specials? Latham ENT or some shyt?

Marlon Wayans also got a current TV show on NBC. MoNique has 2 8-10 year old movies (Almost Christmas and Precious), that she is doing more marketing for than when they originally came out

Damn you got a point there.

By simple numbers alone, the black audience will never be as large as the white audience. We are only 13% of the population, or around 30-35 million. Thats as large as her regional fanbase of Philly, NY and Boston.

I am a proud black man but nikkas acting like they don't understand capitalism. (not you, but Monique)

Just say I hire an electrician. I am paying you to get the specific job done, not because you are a legend amongst your coworkers, and since they get 25 an hour, it does not mean you deserve it. If she wanted a job that pays for experience, she should have been a teacher and get tenure. I'm not paying a 80 year old barber more just because he is more experienced than the 25 year old barber with steady hands. You are a comedian acting butthurt about being Donkey of the Day. Where is your sense of humor? If you cant have a sense of humor with this, then I definitely don't want to see your preachy Steve Harvey-esque psuedo Comedy lectures. If she would have come on there, laughed it up, and did a great comedic interview instead of acting like the Breakfast Club was Small Claims Court, shyt would be different.

Also, just because Netflix has a large black audience does not mean that we all fukk with Monique like that. And why would I give her more money to reach a demographic when she has already shown that she won't work the marketing shyt? Issa Rae and Shea Butter Twitter has more of a influence on the culture now. I can't tell you the last time I saw a Monique interview where she wasn't beefing with one person or another.

^^^^All the above!! Thing is Monique is making this a race & gender bias issue. But she hasn't called out any white people by name. Only Oprah, Tyler, Will, Lee and disrespecting Charlamagne. Charlamagne asked legit questions in the interview. Asking him if his mothers alive and calling him a sellout, calling him by his real name, etc. And like the person, I quoted said if she would've done the interview & cracked jokes along with valid points & been respectful she could've changed some peoples opinions. She should be doing shows and building up her buzz to show Netflix and everyone that she brings in crowds. That interview definitely killed her chances because now people won't want to work with her because she will expose their offers and blast other peoples salary.

They didn't even go hard on her having a nasty attitude behind the scenes. Charlamagne even said on the Brilliant Idiots podcast that when the Netflix people did see her at a show the crowd wasn't that big. But even Will Packer gave her a chance with Almost Christmas and said she & her husband were rude to people on that set. But it didn't seem like Netflix wanted to make a deal, because Sidney said that the call got disconnected and Netflix never called them back or answer their calls when they tried to return them. If that happened to Chris Rock that call would've been returned. If she spoke to the Netflix people the way she talked to the black radio host, producers and behind the scenes crew I wouldn't have returned her call either.

I'm saying that If she felt what Netflix was offering was not worth what she felt her resume called for... she should've hit the road, charged what she felt her material was worth..... or what people are paying to see Amy Shumer and everyone else she feels shes on the level with.

You keep trying to make this about Netflix, when it's actually about Monique and her husband.

Monique thinks she's Whoopi, and her husband is too stupid to realize that he should just shut up and let actual professionals get her roles and big paychecks.

Let's fukk up every other black entertainers money cause Monique didn't get treated like she was Whoopi

 

[jackson35]

So u should be mad at HER promoters or Netflix?

both= netflix is doing the same bullshyt of playing it safe. black folks make up a a large majority of their subscription and i don't think they should get our money if all they gonna do is shove all white content in our faces

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

If we're really being honest, I really believe that Monique is upset that other black female comics made it further up the ladder than she did

Wanda Sykes,Sheryl Underwood,Tiffany Haddish,Leslie Jones,Loni Love all are either bigger/more visible than her.

Netflix has roughly 55 Million subscribers in the US, the black population in the US is less than 15%

that would mean that literally every black person in the US would be the only people who paid for Netflix....and not a single other demographic watched Netflix.

y'all just be saying ANYTHING on here.

lol. And you're saying everything but what you finna do to get Netflix to response to the allegations. If you and others, would just say you don't want those cac problems or embarrassment of being dismissed, then we wouldn't be having this convo

Instead you want to deflect via making false claims and making suggestions of things that's she already doing. Now you want to continue to deflect from your inaction and complacent behavior by talmbowt her husband and defending how Whoopi is treated, who was co-signing her boyfriends "comedic" blackface performance. The coli was supposedly offended by Whoopi's actions a couple years ago, but now praising how "hollywood treats her," so to shyt on another Blackwoman demanding to be treated fairly/respectfully

Nah she thought her career would skyrocket after getting the oscar and losing weight but shyt has been wavy.

[Bleed The Freak]

He aint leading any charge, he did one interview and labeled her Donkey of the Day.

Monique made a living out of playing stereotypical Sapphire (loud, sassy, dumb) characters. Her body however is a Mammy stereotype. Which is what makes her career. She has a Sapphire mouth with a Mammy body. She has cashed in on this stereotype, and now she thinks she should be making what the true legends make. If I want to see her standup, I will go watch ComicView.

She getting blackballed because she didn't want to market a movie that she was a part of. Compare that to Paul Robeson who got blackballed because of actual principles. fukk her. fukk Almost Christmas. fukk Professor Ogilvee.

Monique did an extended role of Penny's mom off Good Times and she acting like she a OG. Cicely Tyson don't even keep up this much bullshyt. Mo'Nique just mad she doesn't have a part in Why Did I get Married 4

Exactly. She aint need no help to bury her damn career.

"what are you gonna do to get Netflix to respond to the allegations"

I'm saying, she views herself like she's Whoopi.... she literally claimed to be the "Most Decorated Black Female Comedian"


Netflix lowballed her, and not a single person denied that... but boycotting Netflix at the expense of all the other black female comics/actresses cause Monique said so?

 

[Pimpdaddy]

everyone over here knows whoopi
everyone knows chris rock
the most know dave chappelle
everyone knows eddie murphy
everyone knows kevin hart
hell they even know the wayans brothers over here

but ain't nobody knows that fat bytch over here
turn down half a mill and keep complaining

foh

Not true. But believe and boycott whatever you want. This is a chick crying wolf bc she’s not hot and is blackballed
