Oscar winner and”Queen of Comedy” Mo’Nique, is calling Netflix out for racial and gender bias. She made a video last week claiming that Netflix offered her counterparts more money. Shortly after, comedienne Wanda Sykes said she was offered an even lower amount than Monique and praised her for speaking out against the network.
.@moworldwide, thank you for speaking out. @netflix offered me less than half of your $500k. I was offended but found another home. #EPIX

“I am asking that you stand with me and boycott Netflix for gender bias and color bias. I was offered a $500,000 deal last week to do a comedy special. However, Amy Schumer was offered $11 million, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle $20 million”, Mo’Nique stated in an Instagram video.
Mo’Nique went on ‘Sway In The Morning‘ to spill more tea on why she’s asking others to boycott Netflix. She even shared the emails exchanged between both parties.
