They offered her $500,000. That's a big chunk of change for 99% of working comedians.

Listen, here's what you do......

Tell them no...."I want more". If they say NO, negotiate...if they still say NO, take the original deal.

It's not a bad deal. Ur on the road anyway doing shows.....ur doing the same jokes you do on the road anyway. Except ur recording it this time. You can either work that night in random ass city for $3-4,000, or you can shoot ur special and get paid $500G's. Easy choice.

Kill it so it's undeniable. Let word of mouth do the talking for you and when they approach you for another special, you tell them you want $1mil.

I hope she and Netflix can come to an agreement 'cause I'm seriously gonna cancel my account if they don't honour my request to not see ANYTHING Amy Schumer related. Netflix hit me with that now Pregnant Pig's trailer for her special and that shyt straight up Sparta'd my high and made me nauseous.​

I agree with Monique and do agree she was lowballed for being a black women.

While black women look at it from a fairness/equality standpoint. The black men speaking not in her favor are speaking from a ROI standpoint. One side expects unfairness from the jump and only expects higher numbers by showing great ROI while the other side believes fairness will eventually come by pressure (speaking more on equality of inccome). Without merging those 2 conflicts and not seeing how has a whole has black people are underpaid in all forms of employment under white corporations. Whether that's WNBA players salaries, NBA players salaries, black entertainers income or the structure companies use when hiring our people or fitting minority quotas.
We will never find a true solution because we are unable to see eye to eye on the situation.

People bringing up free markets and business savvy are ignoring the main point of her argument.....
She was undervalued because she was a fat black woman!

Now who knows if that's the real reason but given the discrimination against both black and fat women in hollywood it's worth considering.
Netflix giving bags to no name asian female comics i never heard of and all kinds of shyt. I'm surprised black twitter didn't support the boycott netflix thing more given the feminist and body shaming angle

Nothing MoNique said was lies. Everything Monique predicted and laid claim to, was proven facts and correct. The problem is they didn't like her saying it or bringing more awareness to how the industy PTB operates and functions. They tried to silence her heavy, with the 'angry black woman, irrational, crazy, demanding' label for distraction instead of acknowledging her perspective as credible. With Oprah, Steve Harvey and Lee Daniels getting exposed in recent events; black men being made the face of 'rape culture' while not making their white counterparts accountable - more evidence of the same. Monique won - her paper may not be as long but she maintained her integrity which is worth more, imo.

Ok :manny:

She was undervalued because she is a fat black woman. Why does Netflix HAVE to give her what she wants because she is a fat black woman?

If Netflix doesn't want you on their platform for the price that you want, that is their business. I don't get why because she is fat and black, what that has to do with Netflix not wanting to pay her what she feels she deserves. If Netflix feels that their cost vs. benefit is not worth the investment that she wants, where is that wrong? They are running a business, not a charity.

We have no clue the analytics they run in regards to their demo, their marketing, who watches what, etc. etc. If they don't feel Mo'Nique (fat, black, Oscar winner, legend, female, etc. etc.) is worth 500K, who are we or anyone else to tell them that she is?

here is the main caveat: IF she is worth that money, then that means there is a market that wants to watch her content. Nothing in the world is stopping her from finding and cultivating that market and capitalizing on it herself. :manny:
