Mo’Nique Paid $50K For PRECIOUS, Blackballed, Whoopi, Oprah, & Tyler Perry Wanting Her to Do More

Mo’Nique paid $50K for PRECIOUS, was blackballed, and Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah, & Tyler Perry wanted her to do more:
“I never complained about the $50K. I did everything I was supposed to do. It is when they started asking me to become a slave. It is when Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey started asking me to work for free."

They paid her 50k and probably had very little cash left after taxes and agent fees. Then they want her to do a promo tour for free that could last from a few weeks to a few months with no pay is crazy. That’s lost time and money

[@lm7913]

@@user-ub5fe2gs3mYour listening skills must not be sharp. She FULFILLED her contractual obligation. Them asking her to go on the promo run was not a contractual bind. Therefore she had every right to get compensated… and how in the world are you going to compare the lady from Wonder Woman and Monique. Monique clearly stated that she was paid 50k and the lady from Wonder Woman got paid 350k. Not to mention her doing the promo run may have been part of her contract. Do you see the contract??? Don’t compare apples to oranges

[@ChristyDStarling]

For the slow folk in the back, HELLO! Mo’Nique WAS NOT upset about her pay for Precious. She was pressured to promote the movie without additional compensation then blackballed when she didn’t bow down.

[@kaylove4507]

Exactly. I hate when people try to project it as she was upset about the amount she was fully aware fully knowledgeable about what she signed up for. She just didn't feel like she should have been out there promoting the movie for free, which is a separate job. Why should she promote the movie for free? And it wasn't even part of her contract and since they paid her so little what she was cool with. Why can't they just pay another $50,000 to advertise it if she agreed to $50,000 to play a whole lead role in a movie? I'm sure for $50,000 more she would have had no problem promoting it! They want us to believe that Lee Daniels Oprah Winfrey whoever didn't have $50,000 to give this woman for advertising. There are people right now sitting in regular everyday 9 to 5:00 marketing jobs making more than $50,000 a year right now, so Monique couldn't get an extra 50,000 at least for promoting the movie this is really bad math

That’s asinine. Gal Gadot wasn’t really well known and the fact that she did all of that promoting probably means it was in her contract to do so or she was convinced by her team that it was in her best interest to do it to boost her stardom. Mo’Nique already had a name for herself so technically she didn’t need the boost. FYI, Precious came out in 2009 and Wonder Woman came out in 2017, soooooooooo… Yeah, I’m going to leave it at that.

Monique's "daddy" husband works for her and Monique said they borrowed money from Kevin Harr. Why are other men being totally blamed for their downfall? I believe Will gave Janet money which is why she really stopped complaining. Netflix paid Monique to put an end to the whole discussion. Everyone isn't meant to be a big star. People have to accept some of the blame for what happens in their lives. Janet has admitted negotiations with Fresh Prince broke down and producers stopped communicating with her which is why she wasn't on the show anymore. Monique has said she and her husband spoke with men from Lionsgate studio who offered to pay for expenses to promote Precious. She should say their names. Monique didn't work for Oprah and Tyler on Precious. Now she's saying she's been mad with Oprah over the interview with her family. White people whose names have not been outed quietly made money

She’s not upset about the 50K, she’s upset that they wanted her to do EXTRA work for FREE after she fulfilled her contractual responsibilities, and when she wouldn’t they used their power and reputation to blackball her and give her a hard time in the industry!

[@thatgirlkells5505]

Not missing the point at all. She was asked to promote the movie overseas and she declined. She was not offered anymore money to do the promotion overseas. That should have been the end of the story. She and Tyler Perry had a another discussion asking her to promote the film. She declined again. Not only did she decline but she went on a campaign and public rant about how unfair the whole situation was. Tyler Perry was asked his opinion about Monique. He stated he thinks she is difficult to work with. His allowed his opinion. Just as you agree with Monique. It is only an opinion. She is not owed money for "potential earnings". She needs to have better representation. I'm afraid "Daddy" misses the mark.

[@phantast575]

Correct, her point is not about the 50k she accepted for the role and was paid, but the extra promotion of the movie they would not pay her for.

Katt, and Monique are great examples for our youth.

[@civiltheoryCEO]

50K is shameful.

[@tony4534]

Did anyone force her to agree to it?

[@civiltheoryCEO]

No but when you budget a project for a role that important, 50K seems low. That role is crucial to the movie. @@tony4534

[@mikemcnamarafilm]

50k is fine and she didn't complain about it. She should also be bringing in significant residuals. That being said, its heartbreaking that M had to endure all this negativity and career damage because she asked to be paid for these additional requests. Frustrating to see her wronged like that, and in the midst of such a career breaking movie...

[@larissalaflore7202]

​​​@@mikemcnamarafilm She never said the names of those Lionsgate studio people she and her husband spoke to who made money but wouldn't pay her more? She's leaving some people's names out. Some people discussing this don't seem to be aware that Monique didn't work for Oprah and Tyler

[@stephenmmills1]

This is the best and most informative interview....

[@AmbassadorInsane]

Yeah, Oprah said she understood your position and even agreed that you were right, but that didn't mean she agreed that that is what you should do. No one can blame you for making the best decision for you and your family, but YOU have to live with the consequences of YOUR decision. You don't always win by being right. That's Relationship 101.

[@siphokazidlamini2747]

Preach

[@KittyJacque_]

it is also relationship 101 to respect someone's decision and leave it at that. oprah and tyler made it their mission to ruin her reputation and blackball her in the industry just for making the best decision for her and her family. that's what she's calling out, specially how fake they were to her face

Lost her mind. Didn't know how to play the Hollywood game, because it's a game. It's a cut-throat business, especially for blk actors. In life it is not always what you know, but who you know.

What does her husband do for a living ? Lionsgate was willing to UPGRADE her hotel suite.They probably were willing to pay for her flight, accomodation etc. Going overseas for a few days couldn‘t have messed with her bag if her husband wasn‘t living off her.She‘s not a single mother.

I don’t get it when you work in the entertainment industry promoting your work is part of the job. I’m paying for your expenses when you hungry you gone eat. So when the next role or job opportunity comes you won’t be picked because your lack of ambition from the last job.

[@HolisticLivingConsultingLLC]

I understand that she accepted the $50k as salary but no one should take advantage and offer such a low salary knowing the person is worth so much more
