Mo’Nique continues her public dispute with Netflix over pay disparities and gender and race inequality. Over the weekend, the 50-year-old comedienne called for a boycott of the online streaming giant after she claims she was offered $500,000 for a standup comedy special — a fraction of what Netflix pays comedians such as actress Amy Schumer (who is not funny at all) and Chris Rock.
Comedienne Wanda Sykes also criticized Netflix for paying her pennies compared to what men and Caucasian comics receive.
On Monday, Mo’Nique and her husband/manager Sidney Hicks posted an Instagram.com video comparing Schumer’s box office numbers (for comedy film Snatched) to Mo’s holiday movie Almost Christmas.
Almost Christmas (2016) earned a $25 million profit to the paltry $3 million profit Snatched earned.
“Can somebody please make it make sense?” Mo asks.
