Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast has the internet in a chokehold after Katt Williams appeared on the platform, overshadowing Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special. On February 7th, 2024, the legendary Mo’Nique sat down to do an EXCLUSIVE tell-all about the most prominent names in the entertainment industry with a second round of unfiltered personal truths about Lee Daniels, Oprah Winfrey, and Tyler Perry.
MoâNique has never been one to bite her tongue, having gone up against Netflix in a 2019 legal battle after accusing the streaming giant of discrimination and retaliation when she turned down a reported $500,000 deal for a comedy special. The two parties settled their feud in June 2022, and by February, her special, My Name is MoâNique, was announced by Netflix.
The Oscar-winning actress has also been vocal about her dealings in Hollywood. Many of her comments resurfaced this year when Taraji P. Henson echoed similar sentiments about Black actors having to fight for fair pay.
MoâNique is currently in the throes of a new legal fight for royalties from âThe Parkers.â The popular sitcom is one of the streaming serviceâs most-watched series, yet she claims that CBS and Paramount have not provided compensation for years of syndication and a percentage of streaming rights. Her suit claims that she is owed 2.5 percent of gross receipts.
