In reply to Casual.

@Casual - What I think is absurd is a person being labeled "difficult" when they promote a film domestically but opted NOT to promote the film at internationally. (She wasn't under contract to do so and it is, quite frankly, a CHOSE for all actors/actresses.)

She was blackballed for not promoting the film internationally and of course ANYONE would be upset when your livelihood is taken away because of an innocent choice. (In essence, someone choosing to make your life harder because you choose not to make the choice that they wish you to make. ) No one has the right to play God over anyone else's life.

Lastly, in regards to the venues that Monique vs Amy have played in I find it ridiculous that you are saying that it is perfectly reasonable for a person to accept an offer in which (2) years of their life is given to one business for $500k when they have successfully rose to the top of their profession as a woman. Please note that the offer was $500k for 2 years and prohibited her from gaining income from other appearances in that time period. 2 years of time? $500k? Yup, this sounds JUST LIKE the Wanda Sykes offer only SLIGHTLY supersized.

This woman should have been offered at least 1 million dollars for a (2) year deal that prohibited her from gaining income from other sources. It was and is an insult to demand that much time with that type of restriction for such little pay.
