she does that folks find so funny, I'd argue that even $2m or $3m would have still left room for upward negotiation from Mo'Nique.

Otherwise, maybe Netflix is not even the right fit for her. Not when you have other Oscar-winning actresses like Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman out here breaking records with their negotiations for TV appearances.

And Monique speaks on the management thing in that interview, it's not all so cut-and-dry. It must be frustrating for she and her manager/husband to realize they're not taken as seriously in her
negotiations as her white management was.

I honestly just can't believe how hard people are banging against Mo'Nique. She's done a lot for the culture, as a comedienne.

It all points toward uglier trends in the black community, of a) undervaluing folks that don't have that crossover popularity, and b) undervaluing black women's contributions as a whole

*sigh*
