After kicking the year off with a requested boycott of streaming giant Netflix for offering what she felt was far below her pay grade (click here to read more), Monique fans rejoiced at recent news the comedienne had finally reached a deal worthy of her talents – to the tune of $10 million.
However, just as soon as the story started gaining a bit of traction, the Academy Award winner took to social media to not only shut it down, but also address director/longtime rival Lee Daniels who recently criticized her for “being disrespectful” and needing to “shut up” (click here to watch that).
Curious how she responded? Watch the video inside:
Get em Monique. Lee Daniel’s punk ass needs to have several seats.
Oh my god move on!
No. One. Cares. About. This. Anymore.
The only way she can do that is if she shuts her naysayers down by producing and directing her own successful comedy special. She has to boss up at this point and create her own successful projects. Nobody is stopping her from making a successful movie like Precious or producing her own Stand up special.
Well she has been stopped from being in the movies. As she’s been saying this whole time she’s been blacklisted.
Cale no one can blacklist you from making your own projects. Monique is lazy and wants a big pay day from being hired instead of being her own boss, taking the risk by investing in your own projects, and reaping the benefits of any profits.
I couldn’t agree more. stop talking .. make money moves..
right… but she’s saying she should create her own… and obviously it’s true that she’s unprofessional. this is not how you respond to botched deals. black women, and women in general tbr, have been slighted by the industry since it’s beginnings, but monique is the only one you see behaving like this… and her issue is more of a personal one. it’s the result of a bad contract, but she nor they could’ve known that precious would go on to make so much money. however, her means of dealing with that comes off very “i didn’t get what i wanted so i’m gonna fuss and make noise and be belligerent until someone GIVES me something.” who else do you see responding like this? the proof is in the pudding. it sucks because we love monique, but she is obviously blacklisting herself at this point. nobody wants to work with someone who will get mad and then blast them.
Hey my loves
I love it! Stand your ground Monique
Somebody really thought Mo’Nique was getting $10mil from ANYBODY?
Nobody cares. I never heard that rumor and at this point most people don’t care.
