Ill be more concise with a comment I said above..

Netflix aint the problem.. America is..

Monique got the proper internal stats... but America will always value her less (cuz she is a black woman) in all avenues.. because that value is lower... Netflix looks at stats and says well the value/audience ain't there so.. this is what we got.

You can barely name 10 women that America would agree is funny (regardless of race) of those 10 women maybe 40% do stand up. Of those 4 maybe 1 can do arenas solo (and that's SUPER recent).

That name wont be Monique's though and for many she may not be in that top 10. Its not because of her work ethic and accolades though.. its simply because of how we value female comedians and then value black women.

I'm sure all that shit just weighs heavy on her.. but public spats and airing out business dealings aint gonna fix ANY of it.
