Mo's track record is known..But her issue is her agent sucks and she fought against the system in such a public way...

But let's keep it real. $500,000 for someone who has a sitcom (no matter what I think of it) in SYNDICATION, has an Oscar, an Emmy nomination and headlined that Queens of Comedy tour that had the best ratings for a special on Showtime the year it premiered, headlined her own theater tours at a time when women were not doing that shit is shaky at best...The fact that Wanda Sykes had the same issue adds another dimension to this...

I'm not buying Mo's "boycott" talk....That's misguided at best. But I do see her beef.... Saying that Mo'Nique should not get Chappelle/Rock money is one thing....

Questioning Mo'Nique's achievements as if she's some rookie bum off the street is quite another...

I'll say it again...We need more women on this board....
