Mo'Nique Denies $3 Million Netflix Rumor


Earlier this month comedian Mo'Nique sparked a national debate on racial and gender disparities in pay after she turned down a $500k deal with Netflix because white comedian Amy Schumer received $12 million for her Netflix comedy special [click here if you missed that].

Mo'Nique denies reports she was offered $3 million up front...

This week pop culture journalist Jawn Murray reported Netflix initially offered Mo'Nique $3 million for a comedy special if she auditioned or $500k sight unseen [click here if you missed that].

Mo'Nique's husband / manager denies the reports.

Yesterday Sidney Hicks told the Tom Joyner Morning Show,
"No, no one would promise you what they’re going to give you, prior too, based upon the condition of what you’ve done...I would be interested to know how Jawn Murray knows a deal better than we do…To answer your question no.”
