Its been a rollercoaster of emotions for comedian Mo’Nique. Since 2009, Mo’Nique has been struggling to get booked in Hollywood. Mo’Nique lashed out at on Hollywood’s Lee Daniel, Oprah Winfrey, and Tyler Perry stating that she believed blackballed her from show business.
Just recently, In the Instagram video, Mo’Nique urged us to boycott Netflix because of gender and racial bias. Netflix offered her $500,000 for her next special, a number she found to be low, considering that Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock were each reportedly paid $20 million for their specials. This has caused a lot of tension between her and Hollywood this last couple of years. But artists are started to support Mo’Nique during this time. Artists like Chance the Rapper, Jada Pinkett Smith have come to her defense.
