Actress/comedienne Mo'Nique is hurting.
Her husband, Sidney, is hurting.
Their bank account is probably hurting.
I can see the hurt and frustration written all over their faces.
And hear it in their voices.
And here's the deal: Mo'Nique was offered $500K to do a Netflix, comedy special, and she was appalled by what she deems a ridiculously low offer.
She and her husband peppered the Netflix executives with questions about why actress/comedienne Amy Schumer was paid $13 million for her special, yet, Mo'Nique, a multi-multi-award-winning performer (including an Oscar) was offered so "little."
At this point, it seems to me that Mo'Nique and hubby are becoming more and more frustrated. Ultimately, what they want is to have Oprah, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels publicly admit that she is not a difficult person to work with. It's her good name that's been tarnished since she won the Oscar for Precious.
She is a monstrously talented woman, so I hope all these distractions from performing her craft will dissipate shortly. If they don't, only God knows what will become of her.
She doesn't have many of her celebrity "friends" speaking up in her corner. I suspect that fact has revealed to her how phony Hollywood really is. Everybody loves you when you're up and riding high.
Unfortunately, we can never know who are true friends are until we're low.
I wish her well. She can use all the well wishes anybody has to offer.
I could paraphrase everything she and Sidney said on their Periscope broadcast but I won't. Instead, hear them
