I can only imagine, but God is good I'm so glad you pulled through. girl we can definitely make a meetup happen sometime, take care!! BTW hey everyone on this thread lol.=)
Sharnika Tonkia Yes, yet it was so apropos. I thought the same thing when I saw it. The same act of manipulating emotions. Couldn't even look at it without laughing on the inside. 😂😂
I'm an Actor and Screen Writter in LA. This lady has the best response to Monique. She not trashing Monique but she's also not acting like a drunk fan who thinks Monique cant do no harm. She's speaking truth which is rare on the internet. This lady knows good business. Love it
She failed to mention that Chris, Dave and Amy were in biding wars with HBO and other networks for their specials! Who's fighting over a Monique special? Her audience got her that deal not the network. She doesn't have a 20 million dollar following keep it real!
@Crystal Palms Exactly! Yes, black actresses are treated unfairly in Hollywood, but Monique is NOT an A list comedian like Dave Chappelle or even "in" at the moment like Amy Schumer. She is on the D list and cannot bring in the type of audience they can bring. I feel like she's self-sabotaging.
MissKitae Right! legend or not. Its like Diana Ross demanding Beyonce or taylor swift prices! Yes you are a legend but we are talking numbers in 2018 why is that so hard for her to understand?
MissKitae true, you should negotiate, that's why they invented the word. In her case she should except the chance, over the money. Giving the chance to stand before an audience when I'm blackballed is a fortune in itself, I would of for free. Then turned it to millions, if I were truly good and relevant. She have been so gassed by her opportunist husband that she can't see 500,000 as enough to get the ball rolling in her favor. She forgot she's not offered anything, anymore and in that case half a mill is great. Also the amount Dave got has to be divided between 4 specials. I looked up her comedy schedule it was for 3 shows at an Improv and one at the Apollo, each only housing hundreds not thousands. "Eat the Cake Annie Mae"
You are 100% right Monique did need to learn how to stop being employed and become the boss, and you also need to go help her out. Thank God that he delivered you from your surgery, and bless you and your wonderful husband keep growing strong sister!!😍😍😍
The husband crying had me ROLLING! We already know they have an open relationship and it's rumored Mo'Nique was always afraid of losing him, so she always gave into what he wanted. The reason he crying is because when her money stops flowing, so does his. Clown.
Tasha you are telling *the truth*. Monique messed up with accepting that lowball offer for Precious. Unfortunately, she messed up more by not accepting this 500k (3m?¿). She should have used it to produce a special and then sold it to them for 5 million w/ a cut through her own production company. She then should have went on tour and did it again for 10 million. She then should have signed a deal with Netflix with her production company to produce specials and original comedy series putting on other brothers and sisters. She then should have topped all of that by selling out an arena, filming it, and then selling it to Netflix for 20 million. At this point, Mo is just that usher in church telling you to give your last $20 instead of $5, because God is going to bless you. I can't with her.
I love Mo, I think that husband is in her head giving her bad advice. I can't boycot Netfix though, Netflix has opened up so many doors for black people, independent films, just to mention a few. Not to mention Shonda rhimes just signed a huge deal with them. 4 year, 100 million dollars! Mo is not relevant right now. I think she is doing herself a disservice. I hate to see her do this to herself and her career.
That’s a lie Monique posted the contract they sent her. It WAS 500k AND a no compete clause for 2 years meaning she couldn’t work in standup for the next 2 years while only being paid $500k
I don't think taking that amount of money was the problem for her because it was an indie movie and plenty of known actors take significantly lower for a project they stand by. What messed her up was not promoting. All actors (at least the primary characters) know promoting is pretty much a requirement. She was the main person in the movie what type of message does that send if she won't promote a movie she is in as the main person? Why would anyone else want to pay her a major amount of money for a project that she may or may not promote? Either way she screwed herself and she's too in her feelings to realize it was due to her own actions. With the exception of Oprah......she did her dirty!
Yes, I agree that there continues to be gender/race bias, however, this gad absolutely nothing to do with it. She wasn't going to pull in that amount of money. Facts.
@@ellebailey5358 she specifically said she promoted domestically as per the terms of her contract. The issue was that she was asked to promoted internationally for free, are you gonna work for free if someone asks you? Do then why should she? Her agreement was with Lee Daniels, not lionsgate, not oprah and Tyler perry.
@@isaiahcaston4539 No, I would not work for free. But I'm not a business Monique is. From what I understand (I could be wrong), they offered to take care of travel, room and board for the time she was there and few extra days for her and her family. No she wasn't getting paid but she wasn't losing money either. She could have used the opportunity to network and further her career Should they have treated her that way because she chose not to participate in the extra promo...no, of course not. But she also could have handled it a different way so it would not have had such a negative impact on her and her career. But all this is easy to say when I wasn't the one living it.
Yess I've been waiting for youu😩😩 Been checking your channel looking for uploads like "👀👀 I need some realness in my life" 😂❤️ Then that notification came through 💓👏🏾👏🏾
You’re the first person to break it down, and explain the route she should’ve taken. I’m so happy you’re feeling better. The appendix is nothing to play with.
Kumtekmeon no one ever denied that she was low balled. $500k is low for monique, however her husband isn’t helping. He’s hindering her career and it’s came out more than once that people that she’s worked with have said the same thing. It’s her husband. She needs a better manager. The way they went about it just ensures that she won’t get many, if any, job opportunities now.
Monique was offered 3million$ and all she had to do was a showcase. She refused to do the showcase. She is notoriously difficult to work with. You are right she is a legend, and an academy award winner. You are right. She should have turned herself into a business and this would not have been a problem.
Mo' and her husband remind me of Dorothy Dandridge and Otto Preminger. Otto had convinced Dorothy that because Carmen Jones made her a star and an Oscar Nominee, that the jobs she was offered after CJ were beneath her and to decline them. Next thing Dorothy knew, the job offers stopped coming. *shrugs*
That’s what I said too, Tasha. This is just poor management 🙄 Monique needs to just let him manage the UA-cam channel and get professional management and public relations 🤨
Mo'Nique should have just taken Netflix's offer, then used it as a bargaining tool to negotiate a higher salary for her next comedy special. Mo'Nique needs to learn that sometimes we have to flip burgers before we can run corporations.
She already flipped burgers when she was on the Parkers. When you have paid your dues and have worked hard for years to promote yourself, you just cant settle for less. I wouldn't have taken the deal either.
Tasha you hit the nail on the head. Mo'nique never made the transition to being an employee to a producer. She needs to take a page out of Viola Davis' book. She and her husband have their own production company but her husband knows how to be seen and not heard. He does what he's good at which is manage the company.
These chicks be trusting these men with their careers. I get it. That’s your mate. You want more for him and you trust him to take your career to the next level bcuz that is your husband. But if he ain’t taking his own damn career to the next level, what makes you think he will do differently with yours?
You are forgetting something 100% more important than transitioning from talent to producer. Monique did not transition from Black famous to WHITE FAMOUS. Huge difference. Rock, Chapelle and Mack did.
He’s crying because he’s a manipulator. No different than crying Tyrese. And they have said that Monique was hell to work with. And you got mad at Oprah for making a BUSINESS move instead of dealing on emotions.
The studio picks up the travel and lodging expenses for promotional work overseas. She wouldn't have had to go into her pocket for that. And some top actors - actors with bigger acting resumes that have actually achieved stardom, will sometimes take scale to do a role in a smaller film. Her ego got her into this mess. NetFlix doesn't care about an acting Oscar when they're looking at your value for a comedy special. Those other comedians that got more money from NetFlix are more proven draws. I don't think Schumer is funny, but there's a HUGE audience out there that does. It goes without saying what Rock and Chappelle pull.
Yes...i feel like she had an attitude the whole time. She contradicts herself when she says she took the role because she believed in it but wouldn't promote it. Wouldn't you want to promote it if it was important enough for you to do the role basically for free?
She knows her worth but she figures that if she acts stupid enough that no one will pay attention to the facts. Say it long enough and loud enough somebody will agree with you.
its honestly fucking annoying her videos always pop up when im watching other stuff , giving me a damn headache. i just had to scroll down and see if anyone else found her annoying
I’m in my 30’s and this is what I’ve realized- I’ve worked so hard to be myself and live an authentic life but to survive in life, you have to be fake with fake people. It sucks but that’s how the game is. Luckily, you do have a choice. If you’re lucky enough to find real and like minded people you can kick it with it, then go ‘head but if you need to work or be surrounded by the fakes bc it’s obligated, then do you’re best, suck it up, and play the game. You don’t need to be best friends but establish your boundaries and make an emotional disconnect and remember that you’re just doing what you have to do. Not everyone in this world is real and no matter how much you try to get them to see it, they’ll never get it and make YOU look like you’re crazy. This can be applied to people at work, families, and communities everywhere. Protect your heart always ❤️ Also, another thing I learned is that you can’t always trust your own kind. I’ve seen my mom go through it, my Hispanic, Chinese, Nigerian friends/family go through this. We’re taught that people in your culture will have your back...that’s not always the case and if anything, some people will screw you over more bc of it. Don’t let down your guard bc someone’s black/Asian/Hispanic just like you, always look out for you
K de la Cruz thank God it didn’t take me being 30 to catch up on this world’s fakeness, caught it at 27 in 2016. Wish I did sooner, now I leave my emotions out of everything and treat people like business partners.
Bella Aldama same here. I’m like, “why didn’t I get this at 25? Or younger?” I think we can all recognize fakeness (even at that age and with certain people) but when you see it more in the real world as a whole or attach it to substance, it really changes you. When you see grown ass people or aunties you’ve grown up respecting be fake, it’s mind blowing. You’re right on the money girl- most people see you as “business”, therefore you gotta do the same
K de la Cruz we did see it, but when you have a good heart you always give people the benefit of the doubt. Now I don’t give people tryouts, now you make one mistake, you’re out( even in dating. People can do what they want with their lives, but I don’t go back to boyfriends. Forgiveness after cheating, or they’re treating with no respect, the man making them chasing him. Not me, on strike and you’re out)I don’t play second chances, because what you did was not a mistake and was well thought out. Always see what you’re getting out of a situation, before you think with your good heart.( whether it’s relationship, school, job)You always have to look out for yourself, because people are about theirs and their money. The only person who genuinely have my back is my mom.
Bella Aldama you are spot on! We did see it and I think now we’re much stronger and wiser... we are warriors and no one will knock us down. You’re so lucky your mom has your back. My mom can get fickle-minded, depending on the situation lol but man, because of what we know now, we are so much better. In the words of nene, “I’m rich, bitch!” CHEERS 🥂 😊
It's not about Mo devaluing her worth. Netflix doesn't care what you were paid elsewhere. What THEY care about is HOW MANY VIEWERS YOU WILL BRING IN. How many subscribers would stay because of you. How many NEW subscribers would come because of you. That is why Amy, Dave, and Chris got those deals. They have a measurable fanbase that Netflix would expect to come over to watch him. Monique after winning her Oscar sat around waiting for the big deal to come along instead of building her brand. For almost 10 years she did that. And what happened? When she FINALLY starts doing stand up touring, she STRUGGLES to sell out a 440 capacity tiny venue. Netflix cares about ONE thing. RETURN on INVESTMENT. Not how pretty her resume is. She don't have the numbers anymore.
I have been argueing with ppl on empressive channel. people are dumb as hell. They dont understand its just business. Monique doesnt have the fanbase anymore. Those 3 do. she has had 2 issues with 2 directors.
Tiffany Haddish out here brand new on the block, getting better deals than Monique. Black British female comedian Michaela Coel on Netflix getting better deals than Monique. Someone tweeted Tiffany Haddish and said: "If Tiffany Haddish gets a multimillion netflix deal at the level of Amy Schumer it’s because Monique stood up🤷🏾♀️#facts" You know what Tiffany clapped backed with??? Tiffany Tweeted back: "I already got a deal at Netflix and I signed it way before she said a thing and its not legend money but its enough to take care of my family for min. #Facts"
Bear Manley I’ve been saying this smh!!!!! I definitely feel that gender/ racial bias is definitely a real thing BUT this doesn’t apply to Monique!!!! The part that nobody highlights is Chris Amy and Dave did tours and shows before inking their deals!!!! Monique did TWO shows before trying to ink a deal!!!! Monique ain’t do a damn thing to build her brand far as stand up!!!!!
He's not good even for his personal gain he did a poor job. She was gonna give him whatever he asked for but he can't recondition her now without it biting him
I see your picture your kind don't understand black life are you sure your husband is not bringing you down are you with him all the time everyday of the week
What I don't understand is why any of these celebrities think we have to support their million dollar careers on our hundred dollar budgets. MoNique should have hired a real manager and handled her business. Why we gotta be involved over rich folks salaries? Mannnn Imma bout to microwave some popcorn and fire up the Roku right NOW.
I agree with most of you you said however Monique was offered 3 million with the condition that she audition for the big wigs at Netflix she refused so Netflix said Ok then if you won’t audition then will give you $500,00.00 without having to audition. In the business is all about money not necessarily about your resume. Everybody know that when you make a movie you have to promote it you see it all the time. Monique over extended herself at the she had her TV show and was doing a comedy tour. I saw an interview from where she said and this was back then that she said no to going to can because she wanted to spend time with her family which she should do however because she failed to promote the movie she was labeled as difficult and nobody wanted to work with her. A lot of people advised her to go promote the movie and she didn’t listen. They were trying to protect her but she didn’t see it that way and now we come to this. You think HBO or Showtime is going to give her a special now with all this shit. I truly doubt it.
Thank you. She has on blinders and only sees how she is being done but not what she's doing to create the situations. Everybody knows you have to promote. She should have worked that into her contract that they at least pay for her travel and hotel for promoting. She created all of this and is going about it the wrong way.
Monique is not about anyone's paycheck but her own. Monique is comparing herself to people who are currently selling out arenas. Please tell me unWinewith TashaK heard about how Netflix offered Monique 3 million dollars if she auditioned, and the $500, 000 was a flat offer if she didn't audition.
They actually offered her $3 million. But they wanted her to audition for them. She felt above an audition, so they offered her $500k without the audition. She didn't like that either. She tried to cite her Oscar win as her bargaining chip, but she won that shit for a drama role. Not her comedy. This is all about ego. She's NEVER been offered $3 million for a single project EVER. If she wasn't so in her feelings, she would have taken the 3, killed the audition, killed the special, and THEN came back to renegotiate. She brought forth her OWN demise. And I'll be DAMNED if I cancel my Netflix because of her pride issues. Plus, I'm grandfathered in, too lmao
TremendouslyTanya Who gets a "receipt" for an "offer?" Hollywood negotiations are no different than regular job salary negotiations. You sit down with someone representing the company, discuss the salary, and when terms are met, you put it in writing THEN. No one conducts business of that magnitude through email as emails can be edited by both the sender and receiver and fo that reason, NOT admissable in court as evidence. Don't drink the Monique Kool-Aid. Notice how NOBODY else who's had a special on Netflix, from Deon Cole to Amy Schumar to Chappelle, has had a problem with what they were offered. But Monique seems to have a problem with, well everyone. EVERYONE isn't doing her wrong. When you're having issues with EVERYONE you're dealing with, the problem isn't everyone else. It's you. I'm not a Monique fan, but I do respect her accomplishments. She's done some pretty solid things throughout her career. But NONE of them justify her overinflated ego of where she "thinks" she is and where she actually is. Her undoing in the entertainment industry is by her own hand. Not anyone elses.
Dia Akin I feel you. But, audition for someone who has an Oscar? Even if it is in a Dramatic role. I may have had to put that pride away instead of losing 2.5M. Just saying.
Gender bias and racial bias is definitely a real thing NO DEBATING but this doesn’t apply with Monique!!!! It’s a valid issue that takes all attention off Monique to make you feel like she has to win by default!!!! Pretty smart I have to say!!! Amy Dave AND Chris all did tours and shows before inking a deal with Netflix!!!! Amy did 150 shows selling out arenas!!!! Chris toured doing like 50+ shows!!!! And Dave even did regular comedy club shows when he didn’t really have to!!! His buzz was so big coming back from Africa he could have just got a deal right off the top!!!! Dave AND Chris have accolades and decoration too but still took time to get back out there and build!!!! They made their buzz so big that they all had multiple offers and 1 of them being HBO!!!! Then we have Monique who all of her decoration comes from a movie that wasn’t even a comedy!!!! Known in stand up for 10-15 min sets and the Queens of Comedy as Her biggest stand up which involved 3 other females!!! Being a person who is rumored to be hard to work with on top of all that (which is a bad rumor to have but not enough for a blackball)!!! I fucks with Monique but as a SOLO stand up comedy her body of work is solid but not spectacular!!!! And even if it was, it was so long ago that people almost forgot she was had a stand up career!!!! She probably walked into Netflix office and slammed the Oscar on the desk and said pay me!!!! Shit don’t work like that being realistic, because the fact is SHE ONLY DID TWO SHOWS before she decided to get with Netflix!!!! So people out here doing 50+ shows busting they ass (even the legends) and Monique comes with a Oscar and 2 shows and think she get bag??? She could easily put her own money up or do 50/50 ventures like how Kevin Hart do!!! Why run to Netflix or HBO to be under them when you could be a partner on the venture???? Definitely not thinking like a boss on this!!!! She ain’t put in the work to leverage herself to be in position PERIOD but definitely hope she get a bag!!!! We as people definitely need to be careful who we follow!!!! Blindly following people can result in us drinking our own death (Jim Jones)!!!! Especially when it’s a touchy subject (like race/ gender equality) involved, we have to beware of hidden agendas!!!!
Fier The Great Everything you just said is EXACTLY what Charlemagne Tha God said on The Breakfast Club and everybody in black Twitter was dragging him saying he doesn't respect black women because he gave her DOTD. At the ends of the day Mo'Nique is NOT hot right now. If she wants the same bag the Amy, Chris and Dave got then you get out on the road and get your weight up the SAME WAY they did. PERIOD!
Shelton Hardy feel me?? I’m all for Monique or anyone qualified to obtain success or the same opportunities but I can’t be a group thinker about it!!! I MUST be objective and be able to understand and view all aspects of every situation!!!! Monique needs to get out there and grind like it’s her 1st time again!!!!
BlessedByHim he crying cause deep down he knows he’s out of league as a manager. Tasha can get her career back on track. She need a strong sister like her in her corner.
Only thing I disagree with is that Lee Daniels was never going to give anybody 1 million for appearing in Precious, not even a White woman. The budget for the entire film was only 10 million. It's a producers job to keep the costs down, you should know this it's common knowledge. It was Mo'nique's responsibility or her agents to ask for more or turn it down if they price wasn't right. Ain't Lee Daniels responsibility to make sure folks get their money. Friends and money don't mix. They ain't friends.
Unfortunately, you're absolutely right. You have to transition from talent to producer. Not only do you extend your reach, you extend your influence. You take control over your fate by learning how the business works, and making it work for you. As an employee, you cannot pick and choose: you get given what you get. When you start producing, you can develop multiple projects for yourself and others, and so develop multiple income streams over time. Monique has not grasped this essential thing about herself: she needs to stop thinking like an jobbing actor, and start thinking about herself as a long-term investment. If she did, she might start reigning in her abrasiveness and be more businesslike.
She isn't a legend. And I think she's one of the worst comedians out there, but comedy is subject so whatever. However, Schumer sells out shows, I honestly never heard of Monique. The way Netflix makes money is by subscription. Who in there right mind is going to sign up for Netflix because of Monique? When I heard Chappelle was coming back, I was excited. I would have got Netflix just for that. That's the difference. Again, she might be funnier, but she doesn't bring in the money, and that's what matters.
I agree with a lot of your points, if Monique really believed in her craft she should have taken that 3mil came back with a request for points on the back end if the special did well.
So glad to have you back. What you said about Monique makes a lot of sense. I just hope she hopes she can get back to her happy. She seems happy with this "me & Daddy against the world" foolery, but I truly believe without her own studio or personal backing (putting HER $$$ where her mouth is) her work will continue to be marginalized.
Yeah Joan cared because she had to shill jewelry after being cut out of the late night chat show game. She couldn't get as much exposure, and she didn't want to change her delivery, so her career withered on the vine.
Girl... Out of EVERYBODY That Had Something To Say About Mo'Nique, You Are the ONLY ONE That Broke It ALL THE WAY DOWN, and ALL THE WAY REAL!!! As Owner of a Talent Agency myself, YOU SAID THAT!! And, Mo'Nique Has EVERY RIGHT To Be Upset with Oprah concerning her Family... That's Trifflin... KUDOS GIRL! As our Elders used to say, "Tell The Truth & SHAME THE DEVIL!!" PS: So Glad You're Okay & Well From Your Surgery!..
Real talk..I was about to go in but after I heard what this sista had to say I agree and I respect it...she didn't tear Monique down at all but have some good advice, hell u need to be monique's manager
I'm reminded of a saying my grandfather used to tell me when as little.... "NOONE UNDER 30 WOULD EVER WATCH A MONIQUE COMEDY SPECIAL!!!!!!" I miss him so much.
I was wondering where you had been.. So glad your well. I’m going to head over to IG to follow you now. Does this channel have Patreon! Thanks for always cracking me up 😂😂🙄
I'm so glad you are the one saying this. People see my pic and don't know that I'm not white and then attack me for saying the exact same thing. I think Monique's problem is the people she surrounds herself with. I honestly wish she would fire her hubby as manager. It is better for the marriage anyways. She should get a good manager, mend fences and get back to work.
Metamorphosis Rox If that had been a Whiteman and his woman you wouldn't have made that comment. Black females are not used to seeing strong blk husband standing up for their wives and taking the lead in the household.
Proud of You, Tasha, for refusing to become reliant on that prescription crack. That's one hellovah drug...though it's cool (as prescribed) if folk need it. Glad to see you healthy and back on UA-cam--spitting truth. **Great job to your husband for holding it down & helping you through the healing process!!! **Wishing you & Fam the best, Sis❤
Monique do need to call you to help her, because you nailed the whole situation concerning her career and where it stands now. Cudos TashaK, you broke it down sis!
She need to to stop counting other ppl coins and worry about her dam self. And tell her puppet aster husband get his hand out her back. He if she could she would do stand up with him. I know she was on tom Joyner and a women asked her a question and she said IMA let Sydney answer that. The lady said I want you u to answer it. Heffa can't even talk for herself.
You amaze me, what a strong woman you are. I wonder what your daughter's going to do in life? With a Mom like you, the skies the limit for your family!👏👏🤩❤
You made some great and valid points about her not transitioning over to the producer side of the game. Also I think her husband/ manager has a lot to do with her not getting her coins these days.
“There’s no crying in baseball!!!” That is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies. Girl, you had me SCREAMING in my house!!! You are ALL THAT!!!
Ilene Gauthiers Monique was not ready to forgive her family and that moment on Oprah sent her over the edge. On the other hand because of what O has gone through herself, she properly recognized that Mo was still stuck. O properly meant well but she was playing God with Mo's healing. It backfired and 8 years later Mo is still paying the cost of her festering wounds.
Ilene Gauthiers Also seeing the email from the director of that last movie she was in that claimed she and her husband mistreated the workers and constantly demanded more money every step of the way. They sounded like pimps. You truly become what you hate and what you haven't forgiven.
Amazing breakdown of the situation. This all started with Precious. Instead of taking peanuts and then acting like a diva to get paid for promotion and press (thus branding herself as difficult) she should have made boss moves and produced it. Crossover from talent to production. Facts.
you stated nothing but facts sis!! i didn't know you had surgery, i'm glad you made it through ok, you look beautiful and full of life!!
I literally just came from your channel lovelyti2002!
Ladies would love to see you both do a collab and give WendyW a run for her money !!!
Hey ti lol
I can only imagine, but God is good I'm so glad you pulled through.
girl we can definitely make a meetup happen sometime, take care!!
BTW hey everyone on this thread lol.=)
Yess!! Tasha and Lovelyti you two are my favorite UA-camrs! Y’all are the best 🤗💅🏾
Now you know you not right showing Monique husband crying and then turn around and show tyrese lol I was hollering 😂😂😂
Sharnika Tonkia Yes, yet it was so apropos. I thought the same thing when I saw it. The same act of manipulating emotions. Couldn't even look at it without laughing on the inside. 😂😂
Sharnika Tonkia what's up

I'm an Actor and Screen Writter in LA. This lady has the best response to Monique. She not trashing Monique but she's also not acting like a drunk fan who thinks Monique cant do no harm. She's speaking truth which is rare on the internet. This lady knows good business. Love it
Damani Scott put me on
You're such a good looking handsome man too! Keep it up I see you going far! ✨😇
MONIQUE KNOW SHE DIDN'T PLAY HER CARDS RIGHT ✔💯💣
She failed to mention that Chris, Dave and Amy were in biding wars with HBO and other networks for their specials! Who's fighting over a Monique special? Her audience got her that deal not the network. She doesn't have a 20 million dollar following keep it real!
Exactly
💯
@Crystal Palms Exactly! Yes, black actresses are treated unfairly in Hollywood, but Monique is NOT an A list comedian like Dave Chappelle or even "in" at the moment like Amy Schumer. She is on the D list and cannot bring in the type of audience they can bring. I feel like she's self-sabotaging.
MissKitae Right! legend or not. Its like Diana Ross demanding Beyonce or taylor swift prices! Yes you are a legend but we are talking numbers in 2018 why is that so hard for her to understand?
MissKitae true, you should negotiate, that's why they invented the word. In her case she should except the chance, over the money. Giving the chance to stand before an audience when I'm blackballed is a fortune in itself, I would of for free. Then turned it to millions, if I were truly good and relevant.
She have been so gassed by her opportunist husband that she can't see 500,000 as enough to get the ball rolling in her favor. She forgot she's not offered anything, anymore and in that case half a mill is great. Also the amount Dave got has to be divided between 4 specials. I looked up her comedy schedule it was for 3 shows at an Improv and one at the Apollo, each only housing hundreds not thousands. "Eat the Cake Annie Mae"
That husband of hers is dragging her down
Agree💯 He did that already
You are 100% right Monique did need to learn how to stop being employed and become the boss, and you also need to go help her out. Thank God that he delivered you from your surgery, and bless you and your wonderful husband keep growing strong sister!!😍😍😍
Freddie Butler Ummmh what surgery? I have not seen any information on her blog about her having surgery. I bid this woman Health...
The husband crying had me ROLLING! We already know they have an open relationship and it's rumored Mo'Nique was always afraid of losing him, so she always gave into what he wanted.
The reason he crying is because when her money stops flowing, so does his. Clown.
Truth
Thank you for saying it!!! She reconstructed her entire self for this man
S. Reid I laughed 😂😂😂😂so hard,,theres no way I would have allow them to degrade an break me down in public!
I agree with you 100% and you look GREAT. I wish we could start dating immediately. Hit me back A.S.A.P.
@@lasandrawiggins2078 right he would get dropped like a bad habit. Not finna have no en relationship. That ain't what marriage is about.

Tasha you are telling *the truth*. Monique messed up with accepting that lowball offer for Precious. Unfortunately, she messed up more by not accepting this 500k (3m?¿). She should have used it to produce a special and then sold it to them for 5 million w/ a cut through her own production company. She then should have went on tour and did it again for 10 million. She then should have signed a deal with Netflix with her production company to produce specials and original comedy series putting on other brothers and sisters. She then should have topped all of that by selling out an arena, filming it, and then selling it to Netflix for 20 million. At this point, Mo is just that usher in church telling you to give your last $20 instead of $5, because God is going to bless you. I can't with her.
Mariah Braxton Right
Why boycott? Netflix has supported black filmmakers and more I also heard they offered her 3mil.
creek boie that was false Netflix said they dont make comments on contracts
minnie cee All actors and comedies have to audition. Either way, Monique played out ass should ve been on the hustle with comedy tours.
I love Mo, I think that husband is in her head giving her bad advice. I can't boycot Netfix though, Netflix has opened up so many doors for black people, independent films, just to mention a few. Not to mention Shonda rhimes just signed a huge deal with them. 4 year, 100 million dollars! Mo is not relevant right now. I think she is doing herself a disservice. I hate to see her do this to herself and her career.
That’s a lie Monique posted the contract they sent her. It WAS 500k AND a no compete clause for 2 years meaning she couldn’t work in standup for the next 2 years while only being paid $500k
Ricky Clover no they don't but of course you know that lol
Monique should have never done Precious for $50,000 once she did that she lowered herself
I don't think taking that amount of money was the problem for her because it was an indie movie and plenty of known actors take significantly lower for a project they stand by. What messed her up was not promoting. All actors (at least the primary characters) know promoting is pretty much a requirement. She was the main person in the movie what type of message does that send if she won't promote a movie she is in as the main person? Why would anyone else want to pay her a major amount of money for a project that she may or may not promote? Either way she screwed herself and she's too in her feelings to realize it was due to her own actions. With the exception of Oprah......she did her dirty!
Monique should have never done Precious... the worst movie on b people.
Yes, I agree that there continues to be gender/race bias, however, this gad absolutely nothing to do with it. She wasn't going to pull in that amount of money. Facts.
@@ellebailey5358 she specifically said she promoted domestically as per the terms of her contract. The issue was that she was asked to promoted internationally for free, are you gonna work for free if someone asks you? Do then why should she? Her agreement was with Lee Daniels, not lionsgate, not oprah and Tyler perry.
@@isaiahcaston4539 No, I would not work for free. But I'm not a business Monique is. From what I understand (I could be wrong), they offered to take care of travel, room and board for the time she was there and few extra days for her and her family. No she wasn't getting paid but she wasn't losing money either. She could have used the opportunity to network and further her career
Should they have treated her that way because she chose not to participate in the extra promo...no, of course not. But she also could have handled it a different way so it would not have had such a negative impact on her and her career. But all this is easy to say when I wasn't the one living it.
I'm $7.99! I've been Netflixing since the days of DVD's!
Kimmie 33 Same here and still doing it .
Kimmie 33 and when blockbuster was super popular lol
Kimmie 33 I've been using my sister's Netflix for three years... there's nothing to boycott for me Lol
Kimmie 33 I was hollering on that one.
Me too and mine has always been on automatic payment!
Yess I've been waiting for youu😩😩 Been checking your channel looking for uploads like "👀👀 I need some realness in my life" 😂❤️ Then that notification came through 💓👏🏾👏🏾
💯😂I swear! 💖
Danika Brown this was me checking everyday!
You’re the first person to break it down, and explain the route she should’ve taken. I’m so happy you’re feeling better. The appendix is nothing to play with.
I am Very Impressed with this Video. You tackled everything perfectly. I am so glad you are feeling better. Great Job!!!
Kontrell Tyler I
Wine makes any body feel good.
She touched every issue 👍
What Oprah did was very low....and yes Tasha you are absolutely correct Monique should have transitioned. She needs new Management.
Where Monique made her mistake is having her husband as her manager making all the wrong moves.
Weston Killian ...True!
Facts
Kumtekmeon no one ever denied that she was low balled. $500k is low for monique, however her husband isn’t helping. He’s hindering her career and it’s came out more than once that people that she’s worked with have said the same thing. It’s her husband. She needs a better manager. The way they went about it just ensures that she won’t get many, if any, job opportunities now.
Kumtekmeon I never said being white or black I said a better manager. FACTS
Exactly
Monique was offered 3million$ and all she had to do was a showcase. She refused to do the showcase. She is notoriously difficult to work with. You are right she is a legend, and an academy award winner. You are right. She should have turned herself into a business and this would not have been a problem.
Oonagh72 Monique and her Husband responded to those rumors and said they wasn't offered $3 Mill and the highest Netflix went was $500k
Wolverine Logan Hell, I'll do it for $5k, as broke as I am.
NOOOO YOU REALLY NEED TO MANAGE MONIQUE!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
You stated nothing but facts this vid!!💯💯
I just can’t with her husband🙄
The Catt Chronicles ikr
I think he's adorable !
Right
😂😂😂😂Lmao
Mo' and her husband remind me of Dorothy Dandridge and Otto Preminger. Otto had convinced Dorothy that because Carmen Jones made her a star and an Oscar Nominee, that the jobs she was offered after CJ were beneath her and to decline them. Next thing Dorothy knew, the job offers stopped coming. *shrugs*
Tasha between you and the Queens Court I can't get enough of y'all you guys definitely keep us entertained and y'all always stating facts. 👍
Ariel McIntyre nah they ain't fkn with Tasha
That’s what I said too, Tasha. This is just poor management 🙄 Monique needs to just let him manage the UA-cam channel and get professional management and public relations 🤨
Elegant Eventss Radio Lmao "Only letting him manage the youtube channel"..😂😂
Mo'Nique should have just taken Netflix's offer, then used it as a bargaining tool to negotiate a higher salary for her next comedy special. Mo'Nique needs to learn that sometimes we have to flip burgers before we can run corporations.
👏👏👏 man I said the same thing
She already flipped burgers when she was on the Parkers. When you have paid your dues and have worked hard for years to promote yourself, you just cant settle for less. I wouldn't have taken the deal either.
@Bella Its always are attitude when we speak up for ourselves.
Star Brand why would she lower her worth
You are absolutely right you don't get no syndicated show on one take
Tasha you hit the nail on the head. Mo'nique never made the transition to being an employee to a producer. She needs to take a page out of Viola Davis' book. She and her husband have their own production company but her husband knows how to be seen and not heard. He does what he's good at which is manage the company.
These chicks be trusting these men with their careers. I get it. That’s your mate. You want more for him and you trust him to take your career to the next level bcuz that is your husband. But if he ain’t taking his own damn career to the next level, what makes you think he will do differently with yours?
I know right? She should learn from Mary J Blige, never marry the help.
He has a career ???
TONI WIGGINS very well put
You are forgetting something 100% more important than transitioning from talent to producer. Monique did not transition from Black famous to WHITE FAMOUS. Huge difference. Rock, Chapelle and Mack did.
jcheer1 Thank you
Right! She is giving Monique to much value. Before 'Precious' her biggest movie was Phat Gurlz...chile please.
right Mo never went MAINSTREAM which = White audiences which = a lot more money.
Facts
True
Sister your dropping the pearls of wisdom on this one. Keep up the good work.
She said "I was grandfathered in so I'm not about to pay what yall paying "! Im in tears!!!
Lol! Peace!
Lmaooooo....grandfathered in to Netflix
Pearl Hill 😂😂😂😂
Omg where have you been?!?!?!?!
I’ve never clicked so fast in my life !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Timeless Allure 1118 righttttttt
Timeless Allure 1118 same! Lol
He’s crying because he’s a manipulator. No different than crying Tyrese. And they have said that Monique was hell to work with. And you got mad at Oprah for making a BUSINESS move instead of dealing on emotions.
He a straight up pimg!!!😂😂😂
The studio picks up the travel and lodging expenses for promotional work overseas. She wouldn't have had to go into her pocket for that. And some top actors - actors with bigger acting resumes that have actually achieved stardom, will sometimes take scale to do a role in a smaller film. Her ego got her into this mess. NetFlix doesn't care about an acting Oscar when they're looking at your value for a comedy special. Those other comedians that got more money from NetFlix are more proven draws. I don't think Schumer is funny, but there's a HUGE audience out there that does. It goes without saying what Rock and Chappelle pull.
Yes...i feel like she had an attitude the whole time. She contradicts herself when she says she took the role because she believed in it but wouldn't promote it. Wouldn't you want to promote it if it was important enough for you to do the role basically for free?
Yea she doesn't know her worth thats is why she couldn't negotiate all that.
She knows her worth but she figures that if she acts stupid enough that no one will pay attention to the facts. Say it long enough and loud enough somebody will agree with you.
INTRO: BOMB 🔥🔥 CONTENT:🔥🔥 Been Waiting On This Upload 🍸
I am SO glad I subbed to you Tasha girl!! Im so happy you're back!!
Is it me or does her voice sound similar to MC Lyte?
its honestly fucking annoying her videos always pop up when im watching other stuff , giving me a damn headache. i just had to scroll down and see if anyone else found her annoying
BreeziDeezi She definitely be turned up! lol! Good commentary on the topic though.
Sounds just like mc lyte.
I was just thinking the same thing. Like...don’t I know her? Haha! Looks and speaks like MC Lyte.
Jamie M Reese yes
You really explained this like nobody else... I agree
It's Monique's problem that she thought she was besties with Oprah. Oprah has her besties. Oprah isn't even a person, it's a brand and a corporation
LiveLoveLaugh
Excellent point👍🤗
I’m in my 30’s and this is what I’ve realized- I’ve worked so hard to be myself and live an authentic life but to survive in life, you have to be fake with fake people. It sucks but that’s how the game is. Luckily, you do have a choice. If you’re lucky enough to find real and like minded people you can kick it with it, then go ‘head but if you need to work or be surrounded by the fakes bc it’s obligated, then do you’re best, suck it up, and play the game. You don’t need to be best friends but establish your boundaries and make an emotional disconnect and remember that you’re just doing what you have to do. Not everyone in this world is real and no matter how much you try to get them to see it, they’ll never get it and make YOU look like you’re crazy. This can be applied to people at work, families, and communities everywhere. Protect your heart always ❤️
Also, another thing I learned is that you can’t always trust your own kind. I’ve seen my mom go through it, my Hispanic, Chinese, Nigerian friends/family go through this. We’re taught that people in your culture will have your back...that’s not always the case and if anything, some people will screw you over more bc of it. Don’t let down your guard bc someone’s black/Asian/Hispanic just like you, always look out for you
K de la Cruz thank God it didn’t take me being 30 to catch up on this world’s fakeness, caught it at 27 in 2016. Wish I did sooner, now I leave my emotions out of everything and treat people like business partners.
Bella Aldama same here. I’m like, “why didn’t I get this at 25? Or younger?” I think we can all recognize fakeness (even at that age and with certain people) but when you see it more in the real world as a whole or attach it to substance, it really changes you. When you see grown ass people or aunties you’ve grown up respecting be fake, it’s mind blowing. You’re right on the money girl- most people see you as “business”, therefore you gotta do the same
K de la Cruz we did see it, but when you have a good heart you always give people the benefit of the doubt. Now I don’t give people tryouts, now you make one mistake, you’re out( even in dating. People can do what they want with their lives, but I don’t go back to boyfriends. Forgiveness after cheating, or they’re treating with no respect, the man making them chasing him. Not me, on strike and you’re out)I don’t play second chances, because what you did was not a mistake and was well thought out. Always see what you’re getting out of a situation, before you think with your good heart.( whether it’s relationship, school, job)You always have to look out for yourself, because people are about theirs and their money. The only person who genuinely have my back is my mom.
Bella Aldama you are spot on! We did see it and I think now we’re much stronger and wiser... we are warriors and no one will knock us down. You’re so lucky your mom has your back. My mom can get fickle-minded, depending on the situation lol but man, because of what we know now, we are so much better. In the words of nene, “I’m rich, bitch!” CHEERS 🥂 😊
True indeed and real advice... And like you said, Protect your heart and character.
It's not about Mo devaluing her worth. Netflix doesn't care what you were paid elsewhere. What THEY care about is HOW MANY VIEWERS YOU WILL BRING IN. How many subscribers would stay because of you. How many NEW subscribers would come because of you. That is why Amy, Dave, and Chris got those deals. They have a measurable fanbase that Netflix would expect to come over to watch him.
Monique after winning her Oscar sat around waiting for the big deal to come along instead of building her brand. For almost 10 years she did that. And what happened? When she FINALLY starts doing stand up touring, she STRUGGLES to sell out a 440 capacity tiny venue.
Netflix cares about ONE thing. RETURN on INVESTMENT. Not how pretty her resume is. She don't have the numbers anymore.
I have been argueing with ppl on empressive channel. people are dumb as hell. They dont understand its just business. Monique doesnt have the fanbase anymore. Those 3 do. she has had 2 issues with 2 directors.
Exactly
Tiffany Haddish out here brand new on the block, getting better deals than Monique.
Black British female comedian Michaela Coel on Netflix getting better deals than Monique.
Someone tweeted Tiffany Haddish and said:
"If Tiffany Haddish gets a multimillion netflix deal at the level of Amy Schumer it’s because Monique stood up🤷🏾♀️#facts"
You know what Tiffany clapped backed with??? Tiffany Tweeted back:
"I already got a deal at Netflix and I signed it way before she said a thing and its not legend money but its enough to take care of my family for min. #Facts"
Bear Manley well said
Bear Manley I’ve been saying this smh!!!!!
I definitely feel that gender/ racial bias is definitely a real thing BUT this doesn’t apply to Monique!!!!
The part that nobody highlights is Chris Amy and Dave did tours and shows before inking their deals!!!! Monique did TWO shows before trying to ink a deal!!!!
Monique ain’t do a damn thing to build her brand far as stand up!!!!!
I think her husband brought her down.
He's not good even for his personal gain he did a poor job. She was gonna give him whatever he asked for but he can't recondition her now without it biting him
Right?!
He did
No. I think he simply spoke up. They don't like blacks who speak up. You get black balled.
I see your picture your kind don't understand black life are you sure your husband is not bringing you down are you with him all the time everyday of the week
AIN'T NO CRYING IN BASEBALL😂😂😂😂😂😂Girllll i can't with you.. Sidney looks so phony😂😂
What I don't understand is why any of these celebrities think we have to support their million dollar careers on our hundred dollar budgets. MoNique should have hired a real manager and handled her business. Why we gotta be involved over rich folks salaries?
Mannnn Imma bout to microwave

I agree with most of you you said however Monique was offered 3 million with the condition that she audition for the big wigs at Netflix she refused so Netflix said Ok then if you won’t audition then will give you $500,00.00 without having to audition. In the business is all about money not necessarily about your resume. Everybody know that when you make a movie you have to promote it you see it all the time. Monique over extended herself at the she had her TV show and was doing a comedy tour. I saw an interview from where she said and this was back then that she said no to going to can because she wanted to spend time with her family which she should do however because she failed to promote the movie she was labeled as difficult and nobody wanted to work with her. A lot of people advised her to go promote the movie and she didn’t listen. They were trying to protect her but she didn’t see it that way and now we come to this. You think HBO or Showtime is going to give her a special now with all this shit. I truly doubt it.
Rami Lopez She should’ve invested her money while she was in the peak of her career.
Thank you. She has on blinders and only sees how she is being done but not what she's doing to create the situations. Everybody knows you have to promote. She should have worked that into her contract that they at least pay for her travel and hotel for promoting. She created all of this and is going about it the wrong way.
I was thinking that you need to be Monique's manager too Tasha lol
They offered her $3 million dollars but she had to audition instead getting a guaranteed show
Monique is not about anyone's paycheck but her own. Monique is comparing herself to people who are currently selling out arenas. Please tell me unWinewith TashaK heard about how Netflix offered Monique 3 million dollars if she auditioned, and the $500, 000 was a flat offer if she didn't audition.
L B Yea I saw that too🙄 she shldve did that audition..
I agree Lynsey Roberson, but Monique let's her pride get in the way.
When you marry a guy who knows nothing about how to manage a top comedian wife's career,...this what you get!
they both at times act as if they're under the influence
They actually offered her $3 million. But they wanted her to audition for them. She felt above an audition, so they offered her $500k without the audition. She didn't like that either.
She tried to cite her Oscar win as her bargaining chip, but she won that shit for a drama role. Not her comedy.
This is all about ego.
She's NEVER been offered $3 million for a single project EVER. If she wasn't so in her feelings, she would have taken the 3, killed the audition, killed the special, and THEN came back to renegotiate.
She brought forth her OWN demise. And I'll be DAMNED if I cancel my Netflix because of her pride issues.
Plus, I'm grandfathered in, too lmao
Where are the receipts!! She and her husband stated they have emails to the contrary. So where are the receipts that she was actually offered 3mil
TremendouslyTanya
Who gets a "receipt" for an "offer?"
Hollywood negotiations are no different than regular job salary negotiations. You sit down with someone representing the company, discuss the salary, and when terms are met, you put it in writing THEN. No one conducts business of that magnitude through email as emails can be edited by both the sender and receiver and fo that reason, NOT admissable in court as evidence.
Don't drink the Monique Kool-Aid. Notice how NOBODY else who's had a special on Netflix, from Deon Cole to Amy Schumar to Chappelle, has had a problem with what they were offered. But Monique seems to have a problem with, well everyone.
EVERYONE isn't doing her wrong. When you're having issues with EVERYONE you're dealing with, the problem isn't everyone else. It's you.
I'm not a Monique fan, but I do respect her accomplishments. She's done some pretty solid things throughout her career. But NONE of them justify her overinflated ego of where she "thinks" she is and where she actually is. Her undoing in the entertainment industry is by her own hand. Not anyone elses.
+Dia Akin. I know right, noone recieves a receipt for an offer...some people just talk just to talk.
Dia Akin I feel you. But, audition for someone who has an Oscar? Even if it is in a Dramatic role. I may have had to put that pride away instead of losing 2.5M. Just saying.
Dia Akin by receipt they meant in a slang context meaning where is the evidence
Gender bias and racial bias is definitely a real thing NO DEBATING but this doesn’t apply with Monique!!!! It’s a valid issue that takes all attention off Monique to make you feel like she has to win by default!!!! Pretty smart I have to say!!!
Amy Dave AND Chris all did tours and shows before inking a deal with Netflix!!!! Amy did 150 shows selling out arenas!!!! Chris toured doing like 50+ shows!!!! And Dave even did regular comedy club shows when he didn’t really have to!!! His buzz was so big coming back from Africa he could have just got a deal right off the top!!!!
Dave AND Chris have accolades and decoration too but still took time to get back out there and build!!!! They made their buzz so big that they all had multiple offers and 1 of them being HBO!!!!
Then we have Monique who all of her decoration comes from a movie that wasn’t even a comedy!!!! Known in stand up for 10-15 min sets and the Queens of Comedy as Her biggest stand up which involved 3 other females!!! Being a person who is rumored to be hard to work with on top of all that (which is a bad rumor to have but not enough for a blackball)!!!
I fucks with Monique but as a SOLO stand up comedy her body of work is solid but not spectacular!!!! And even if it was, it was so long ago that people almost forgot she was had a stand up career!!!!
She probably walked into Netflix office and slammed the Oscar on the desk and said pay me!!!! Shit don’t work like that being realistic, because the fact is SHE ONLY DID TWO SHOWS before she decided to get with Netflix!!!!
So people out here doing 50+ shows busting they ass (even the legends) and Monique comes with a Oscar and 2 shows and think she get bag???
She could easily put her own money up or do 50/50 ventures like how Kevin Hart do!!! Why run to Netflix or HBO to be under them when you could be a partner on the venture???? Definitely not thinking like a boss on this!!!!
She ain’t put in the work to leverage herself to be in position PERIOD but definitely hope she get a bag!!!!
We as people definitely need to be careful who we follow!!!! Blindly following people can result in us drinking our own death (Jim Jones)!!!! Especially when it’s a touchy subject (like race/ gender equality) involved, we have to beware of hidden agendas!!!!
Fier The Great Everything you just said is EXACTLY what Charlemagne Tha God said on The Breakfast Club and everybody in black Twitter was dragging him saying he doesn't respect black women because he gave her DOTD. At the ends of the day Mo'Nique is NOT hot right now. If she wants the same bag the Amy, Chris and Dave got then you get out on the road and get your weight up the SAME WAY they did. PERIOD!
Shelton Hardy feel me?? I’m all for Monique or anyone qualified to obtain success or the same opportunities but I can’t be a group thinker about it!!!
I MUST be objective and be able to understand and view all aspects of every situation!!!!
Monique needs to get out there and grind like it’s her 1st time again!!!!
Fier The Great I totally agree
I concur!
Fier the Great you listed nothing but facts and unlike these sheep who just want to get mad for no reason you actually use logic.
He crying because of all the money they're losing daily over the bs 😄
BlessedByHim he crying cause deep down he knows he’s out of league as a manager. Tasha can get her career back on track. She need a strong sister like her in her corner.
BlessedByHim Exactly
Only thing I disagree with is that Lee Daniels was never going to give anybody 1 million for appearing in Precious, not even a White woman. The budget for the entire film was only 10 million. It's a producers job to keep the costs down, you should know this it's common knowledge. It was Mo'nique's responsibility or her agents to ask for more or turn it down if they price wasn't right. Ain't Lee Daniels responsibility to make sure folks get their money. Friends and money don't mix. They ain't friends.
Unfortunately, you're absolutely right. You have to transition from talent to producer. Not only do you extend your reach, you extend your influence. You take control over your fate by learning how the business works, and making it work for you. As an employee, you cannot pick and choose: you get given what you get. When you start producing, you can develop multiple projects for yourself and others, and so develop multiple income streams over time. Monique has not grasped this essential thing about herself: she needs to stop thinking like an jobbing actor, and start thinking about herself as a long-term investment. If she did, she might start reigning in her abrasiveness and be more businesslike.
😂😂🤣🤣
Amy Schumer is not a legend...
Michelle Smith But she's bankable and hasba BIGGER following than Moo Moo
True but she has a following that draws in the $$$$. You know that the entertainment industry is all about that coin.
She isn't a legend. And I think she's one of the worst comedians out there, but comedy is subject so whatever. However, Schumer sells out shows, I honestly never heard of Monique.
The way Netflix makes money is by subscription. Who in there right mind is going to sign up for Netflix because of Monique? When I heard Chappelle was coming back, I was excited. I would have got Netflix just for that. That's the difference. Again, she might be funnier, but she doesn't bring in the money, and that's what matters.
Maybe not, BUT she is way more popular than Monique. Amy Schumer is selling out venues...is Monique? No!
Amy schumer has blatantly stolen material word for word from the old talent. Research it for yourselves people.
I’m so glad you’re back. Your videos giving me life
Best analysis I have seen so far.
I agree with a lot of your points, if Monique really believed in her craft she should have taken that 3mil came back with a request for points on the back end if the special did well.
So glad to have you back. What you said about Monique makes a lot of sense. I just hope she hopes she can get back to her happy. She seems happy with this "me & Daddy against the world" foolery, but I truly believe without her own studio or personal backing (putting HER $$$ where her mouth is) her work will continue to be marginalized.
The late great Joan Rivers didn't care who she called out and she still got paid.
Minister Martha McMurrian She also was white and Jewish the industry is mostly ran and owned by Jewish ppl soooo...
Joan was a white Jew. Totally not the same
Joan Rivers was actually banned from Late Night Talk Shows. So she suffered consequences as well.
Yep, thats what I heard
Yeah Joan cared because she had to shill jewelry after being cut out of the late night chat show game. She couldn't get as much exposure, and she didn't want to change her delivery, so her career withered on the vine.
Steve Harvey and his crooked ass.....lol.. too funny!!
Girl... Out of EVERYBODY That Had Something To Say About Mo'Nique, You Are the ONLY ONE That Broke It ALL THE WAY DOWN, and ALL THE WAY REAL!!! As Owner of a Talent Agency myself, YOU SAID THAT!! And, Mo'Nique Has EVERY RIGHT To Be Upset with Oprah concerning her Family... That's Trifflin... KUDOS GIRL! As our Elders used to say, "Tell The Truth & SHAME THE DEVIL!!" PS: So Glad You're Okay & Well From Your Surgery!..

This was a great assessment of Monique's fall from grace. Thanks for sharing.
She just became the Azealia Banks of Hollywood
You know . . . everything you said in this video . . . was 100% TRUE. I'm shook.
Don't negotiate like talent. Be a producer. Negotiate like a partner.
Derrick Duplessy Exactly
Yes
Yup 100%
Exactly. You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate. So hopefully when the time comes you negotiate what you deserve.
Sister you Broke it down!!!! Kudos. NO one has put the career issues together as well as you have 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Real talk..I was about to go in but after I heard what this sista had to say I agree and I respect it...she didn't tear Monique down at all but have some good advice, hell u need to be monique's manager
I'm reminded of a saying my grandfather used to tell me when as little....
"NOONE UNDER 30 WOULD EVER WATCH A MONIQUE COMEDY SPECIAL!!!!!!"
I miss him so much.
Damn Tasha you aint NEVA lied! Her biggest mistake was working for Lee Daniels for $50,000. Monique needs to call you!
landaps Monique seems too human for Hollyweird. There are no friends in Hollyweird, only business arrangements.
Yesss your right, tht was her biggest mistake.
Hold on. She worked for $50 racks and won’t work for Netflix and her ass ain’t been checked for since when?
She said she was doing it for a black man in the comeup damn, listen to black talk radio. And get your facts straight from her mouth
I was wondering where you had been.. So glad your well. I’m going to head over to IG to follow you now. Does this channel have Patreon! Thanks for always cracking me up 😂😂🙄
Monique has bad management.... I believe her but she going about it the wrong way..
I turned off my hairdryer to listen to you , Ms Tasha. Sitting here lmao and hair wringing wet.
You lucky you were offered $500, 000... they haven't offered me a dime
Inga Teague 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣👍😌
Right.
This is the smartest commentary I have heard thus far.
Does Monique know that it'd take most us people she's asking to boycott Netflix most of our lives to make 500k. What the Fuckery!!
Miller Ford, it 3 million dollars I was told.
Miller Ford
I don't even do Netflix.😳
I'm so glad you are the one saying this. People see my pic and don't know that I'm not white and then attack me for saying the exact same thing. I think Monique's problem is the people she surrounds herself with. I honestly wish she would fire her hubby as manager. It is better for the marriage anyways. She should get a good manager, mend fences and get back to work.
Nieka Graham You beat me to it. These mofos are getting bolder by the mile
Metamorphosis Rox If that had been a Whiteman and his woman you wouldn't have made that comment. Black females are not used to seeing strong blk husband standing up for their wives and taking the lead in the household.
Ok but now that she hasn’t done none of these things. Please shut her up because she’s just talking shit. Never take less
Nieka Graham I guess you are married?
christiandivamd y'all was reading this just to find something to shit on. Gtfoh with that bullshit lol
I'M SORRY THAT MONIQUE WAS ABUSED, BLESSING'S AND HEALING😇💛
Amen ,Amen!!!! You are speaking the truth. Like the Legendary Country Singer, Kenny Rogers.You gotta know when to Hold'em and know when to fold them
Proud of You, Tasha, for refusing to become reliant on that prescription crack. That's one hellovah drug...though it's cool (as prescribed) if folk need it. Glad to see you healthy and back on UA-cam--spitting truth. **Great job to your husband for holding it down & helping you through the healing process!!! **Wishing you & Fam the best, Sis❤
You are so right Tasha! She need to leave her husband along before he have her working at the soup kitchen.
Monique do need to call you to help her, because you nailed the whole situation concerning her career and where it stands now. Cudos TashaK, you broke it down sis!
Welcome back and glad you're feeling better.

Like Katt Williams said, “ya’ need you some white friends!”
Marti Waterman Sometimes we have to stop depending on White for our success. We have the same power to create magic but we are afraid of it....
Zita Malaykhan preach it
Zita Malaykhan thank you.
I agree with you! But not just sometimes but most of the times.
utubegirl ....yes indeed
She takes the "Legend" comment way too seriously. People throw around words willy nilly just to patronise you. She's not a legend.
hear fan I wholeheartedly agree with you
hear fan...no she's not a legend but she not lying about these folks
Well that was a mistake and I'm pretty damn sure they REGRET telling that no talent that she was a "legend" bitch let that shit go to her damn head

Hear fan, exactly
Her husband acted like he was trying out for a movie with all that crying
Kim C. Yes,really!
She look like she wants him to Shut The Fuck UP nigga!!!!! lol
Kim C. 😂😂
She need to to stop counting other ppl coins and worry about her dam self. And tell her puppet aster husband get his hand out her back. He if she could she would do stand up with him. I know she was on tom Joyner and a women asked her a question and she said IMA let Sydney answer that. The lady said I want you u to answer it. Heffa can't even talk for herself.
leroy hill what you said not a good look to be pocket watching.
She's not watching anyone else's pockets. Why don't you knits what you're talking about before speaking? Men who run their mouths are the worst.
I love how all of you hourly mofos who never negotiated shit in your miserable lives are gonna tell her how to shit at the table
leroy hill funny immediately after she answered the question
leroy hill it's called a marriage, partnership, which most of our people don't know about and isn't used to seeing.
The best analysis of the Monique Boycott, thank you for the nuance, just subscribed and gave a thumbs up. Keep it up Sis!
You amaze me, what a strong woman you are. I wonder what your daughter's going to do in life? With a Mom like you, the skies the limit for your family!👏👏🤩❤
Jawn Murray did a video where he broke down all the issues surrounding Monique. Monique and her husband are causing her own demise.
L B HERE HERE👏👏 I'LL 🍷🍷 DRINK TO THAT!!!
You made some great and valid points about her not transitioning over to the producer side of the game. Also I think her husband/ manager has a lot to do with her not getting her coins these days.
That spoof on the Monique boycott speech 😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
Gurl I am on the train crying with that spoof. He aint lying bout taco bell tho
“There’s no crying in baseball!!!” That is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies. Girl, you had me SCREAMING in my house!!! You are ALL THAT!!!
I'm glad that you are doing well after surgery, and that you are alive!
What's REALLY Creepy is Monique brother looks like her weird looking Husband😱😵😯😒

Giirrrllll......

Monique was not ready to forgive her family and that moment on Oprah sent her over the edge. On the other hand because of what O has gone through herself, she properly recognized that Mo was still stuck. O properly meant well but she was playing God with Mo's healing. It backfired and 8 years later Mo is still paying the cost of her festering wounds.
Ilene Gauthiers
Also seeing the email from the director of that last movie she was in that claimed she and her husband mistreated the workers and constantly demanded more money every step of the way. They sounded like pimps. You truly become what you hate and what you haven't forgiven.
If she was expecting loyalty from Oprah she should've smacked herself. Ijs.
LOL great point!
😂
Right ttttttt
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Monique's husband deserves an Oscar. He teared up on point and faked his cry to the end.
KingExotixplayz I was thinking the same thing
Amazing breakdown of the situation. This all started with Precious. Instead of taking peanuts and then acting like a diva to get paid for promotion and press (thus branding herself as difficult) she should have made boss moves and produced it. Crossover from talent to production. Facts.
That's why I like you Tasha!!! You unwind the psychology of these issues. 💜
Rachel Lockett well stated,exactly what it is!!
I agree with you on Oprah.
This is definitely one of your top videos! Your so on point and your delivery is impeccable!
