At the end of the day Monique is full of mixed messages.
She said she took the precious role because she was told it could get her an oscar. That was why she was cool with the 50k salary. Monique also mentioned that from what the folks in Hollywood told her a oscar nomination would get her 3 million and winning the oscar would get her 8 mill (in her next roles).
Then she said when she got the oscar she turned down roles because they weren't offering her the 8 mill range.
She then was offered to host the oscars the next year after winning the oscar. But she turned it down because they would not fly out her team out (for free) as well. She also mentioned that she turned down hosting the oscars and promoting the movie in France due to wanting to be home with her hisband and kids.
So let me get this straight its about integrity but originally you said it was about the money then you said it was about family and saving your marriage.
Now years after winning the oscar she mentions that she still holding out for a pay day while throwing everyone she can touch under the bus.
Sad part is folks don't realize this how the real world works. You can't be unemployed and then burn bridges and then think you gonna make a salary that you would make before you were jobless. As an unemployed person you basically know you have to take a lower level salary. Cause you starting over until you hot again then you can jump to a new gig and make more.
Go get laid off in the real world not work for a year and see what type of offers you get.
Oh and as a provider myself you will always turn down jobs to be able to spend free time with family. shyt you may turn down dream jobs that never come back. But them be the breaks and you understand that as an adult and professional.
IMO Monique and her husband have a set price in their head of what Monique needs to make because of her Oscar. And because of that she will not take anything less and will scorch the earth if she isn't compensated as such.
