“I was offered a $500,000-deal last week to do a comedy special,” Mo’Nique explained. “However Amy Schumer was offered $11 million, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle — $20 million. Then Amy Schumer went and renegotiated two more million dollars because she said, ‘I shouldn’t get what the men are getting, they’re legends, however, I should get more,’ and Netflix agreed.”
Not every HBCU fan on Twitter will be down for a good cause. Mo’Nique want us all to boycott Netflix and stand by her. The black college alum wrote, “I believe women deserve equal pay. However, I don’t believe I deserve equal pay to Chris and Dave. They are legends and 2 of the greatest comics of all time.” Since, HBCU fans on Twitter took to Twitter to react to her plea for help.
It’s a shame that when you speak out, some people come at you like you’re no longer funny. It’s crazy because I know your talent and know the money you’ve brought in for all these corporations. Folks willing to blackball you for speaking up and silly folks believe it 🙁 pic.twitter.com/U98NGIzmVh
