@@erikg8495he’s a bum because he helps his wife? He brands his wife? He’s a bum because he’s supporting his wife?? That’s yall problem you seem like the type to hate on yo woman because she makes more then you instead of being happy for them.
Who's here after the fact that she was correct about the discrimination against black woman in the Hollywood actors industry and she gave LENARD A HISTORY LESSON THANK YOU MONIQUE
🤚🏾! It’s 2024 and all I want to say is, “I’m so sorry Monique 😢😢❤.”Charlemagne was very arrogant and contradictory throughout this interview. He was so arrogant he wasn’t listening at all. Basically he said, “Sure you are a legend, but you don’t deserve to get paid as a legend should.”
I love how she kept taking her glasses off whenever she knew she was about to read them for filth!!!! Very well-spoken and spoke nothing but her truth!
About in the industry yes but businesses side of it no. She burnt her own bridges she crazy asking for that type of money and Monique doesn't even do stand up
Monique is a prime example of know your worth and don't let nobody tell you otherwise. She's elegant and full of class, and quite frankly she didn't even need to come on the breakfast club and talk about her worth or "justifying" why she values herself in that regard as Charlemagne kept asking. But I'm glad she did, as she gave us all an example of what bravery looks like
And they just refuse to say they wrong. See honey these folk that have some jobs are not gonna say anything against these ppl. They gonna fight for them until their last breath. They just dog us & talk about us. They telling them what happ÷n * they still trying to justify for the white folk. GOD gonna step in. I believe that. Now when all those that's not afraid keep stepping up & bring th down then all the nah sayers gonna jump on then. Somebody else knock them out, then all the chickens run and wanna say they was in the fight too. We got some sad, sad ppl to call our own. Make u shame to say they your ppl.
Amen!! MONIQUE CALL HIM OUT CUZ THTS THE PROBLEM ALOT OF US OUR SAY MAJORITY DONT DO RESEARCH R THEY HOMEWORK ON MATTER BUT QUICK TO BLUR OUT DUMBSHIT THTS NOT FACTS.....LIL BROTHER LIKE MOST OF US BLACK SHUT EACH OTHER DOWN N NOT SUPPORT SMH!!....Thank u for reading Lenard n the young lady n especially the lil brother comin from where he came from n forgetting tht holds for alot of us forgetting where we came from n our pass 🙄
Leornard or Leeenard however u pronounce this idiots' name, continues to do a great disservice to journalism, is clueless about the actual issue at hand arguing for the sake of winning & not being man enough to accept he was wrong to apologize to Mo' & so he typically runs away to the next question like all he's seeking is non-existent gossip or arguments off the top of his head with no due diligence done like an actual journalist would. Mo', we heard u loud & clear; my Mama raised me right & I saw what she had to go through here in an African community as her 1st son. We love u. Len-whatever gave u a fake hug to try to disarm u or throw the audience off guard & he has no clue he's in a position to influence opinions, it comes with responsibility, he just on gossip radio let's call it what it is, arguing like a bitch. To those who see it, he's only made us stronger & sad for him & others like him.
Monique never changed her story, she was so consistent and never gave up. Good on her. People didn’t listen to her then, but she never gave up, what a strong 💪 woman .
I’m here after seeing and hearing Taraji cry in the interview. She’s crying about being underpaid and working hard within her career. Now all of sudden people are supporting her. But when Monique first came out about discrimination, color bias and age bias… everyone shunned Monique. Now everyone saying that she was right all along.
It’s because Tariji is portrayed as not tough and more feminine, they supported her more. Monique is a strong black woman and when strong black woman speak out they are mislabeled as angry black woman. You have to cry and be feminine to be heard????! Crazy world we live in
True. But also I believe that is truly their personalities, too. One is not better than the other. But one thing for sure eventually kryptonite will leave, and that's okay. @@NolaMarieSings01
Charmalayne, I respect all brothers in the community, but this brother is whack for attempting to put down one of our beautiful sisters, I admire her approach and the fact that she was respectful in airing the facts, charmalayne, is a clown he should of held his tongue and stepped down, however his pride led him to diiresoect his own. Baby Monique we love you baby keep pushing come to Toronto if able you'll sell out
Watch Katt Williams' shay shay interview,. Everything CTG said about the numbers is what Katt said and broke down. Monique and her husband go their feelings in it.
Yes, sir, it is scary. Which means she has put her foot down and what happens to her is real. People get tired of those who say shit and hide their hands. Ty & Op. D be more respectful of a strong sister. Need her to know something, say it to her. I find this ironic with comedians- true shit said on the stage at work, does hurt.
It was WRONG to give Monique, the label "Donkey of the day" she deserves the BEST thank you, Monique for being so inspiring. We need to speak up for whats right!
derek anderson 🚫🤦🏽♂️👎🏽😡🤦🏽♂️ bro this woman is just mad cuz she didn’t get payed by Netflix so she’s going all out calling them racist and anti woman I mean nowadays if your black and someone tell you No!!! You just call them racist!!! You don’t need no facts I means this shit is out of control instead of helping the community is dividing the community because you can called out racism so much until it looses its meaning!!! And you dumb people will follow a chicken if it calls racism!!! SMH 🤦🏽♂️👎🏽🚫
derek anderson you took the words right out of my mouth! I have experienced the same treatment knowing my intentions are good and I know my worth. So I canceled my Netflix a month ago now and I don't miss it at all. I canceled because this is complete gender bias and racial bias . No black woman has ever been offered a 7 figure deal by Netflix . Ever... this woman been talking about this for 10 yrs now. She is most decorated 57 awards more than any other comedian. She should not have to keep being quiet. 500,000 compared to 11 million. Now look at those two numbers and tell me it doesn't LOOK unfair?
Kool Red she never said Hollywood didn't like her dummy. Listen. This is about the whole picture not a piece of the picture. Black women are not Given the same value.and that is deliberate
I'm confused as to how some of these people in the comments were so confused as to what Monique was saying 5 yrs ago, now all of a sudden they comprehend it so well. 😄
@@fendertremolo9793Yes, as a black African woman my self, have experienced that from white women, Asians also latinos. These same women all over the media want full lips like ours, big hips small waists, and big ass, they will even go to a doctor to get everything changed like we have. So they bring that insecurity and inferiority complex to work, it doesn't end well. So I understand Monique's situation absolutely. These people even some black men in the industry probably think she's "difficult" to ask what she deserves to get paid. CTG is one of them, I was pissed off when he did the Donkey of the day on her.. It was unprofessional and not needed at all.
I love Sidney's and Monique's professionalism and integrity during this interview. Shame on you, Leonard! Netflix was bogus! Idk if they have apologized to Monique, but it's overdue! Monique's resume speaks volumes, period! She IS a Legend❤
"Each time I want to fight for African rights, I use only one hand - because the other hand is busy trying to keep away Africans who are fighting me". - Benjamin Burombo
Monique said the whites and Latinos stood up for her and shut their shows down, but when it comes to my people, “I get donkey of the day”! I felt that, we gotta do better!!!
As a Latino we love Monique, so talented and beautiful. The things is in the game u have to sign that contract sell your soul . Then u will get Netflix, HBO, showtime etc . Love u Monique for not selling your soul. Start your own production company baby . I love what Monique told charlame that he will sell his sister to the white Master.
After watching this video I have even more respect for the beautiful Queen "Monique'. She led the interview with grace, knowledge and truth. Her talent and legacy are unmatched, and her resume and body of work should speak for itself.
I come back to this interview all the time because Monique’s strength is inspiring. You have to know what your worth or the world will hand you anything!
I have to give Monique credit for talking to them like she did because they were really talking to her stupid. If it's all our struggle it's Monique's not just her applying it to her own situation like LENARD said. Why would you not put some worth on yourself instead of saying you arent worth it and someone else is when you know your resume you feel you're as worthy as the other person. I would have just told them to kiss my AZZ , especially "LENARD." He was acting like he had to pay her salary ☹️
Charlamagne definitely seems like one of those types that will realize that they're wrong mid-argument, but continue to argue their side because they can't admit defeat. Do not be that person.
I don't work in entertainment, thank God I didn't go that route, but I do work for 33 years. Everytime you speak up for yourself in the workforce, you are labeled "difficult" now all that stuff Mo'Nique said, is coming to the light!!! I commend you Mo'Nique for ALWAYS speaking up for yourself!
I don't understand why he can't see that her individual struggle is a part of the collective struggle. 🤷🏾♀️ Difficult sometimes mean not easily manipulated.
She cherry-picks the information she conveys just like everyone else, but when someone else decides they don't want to name names it's an issue I guess.
@@jeffcaldwell30 well it is an issue when you bringing up something somebody said about me but refuse to say who said it ,so yes that's a big problem, I feel like this don't tell me what somebody said if you not dropping names because then it's pointless and you can keep that information to yourself , that part of the conversation is over before it starts , I don't need or want to hear it so let's move on, that was Monique's whole point and I don't blame her .......if we're not dealing with Names and Facts were not discussing it, like she said....keep that he said she said shit on the playground .....
Essence Rodriguez she actually said names as far as I heard. Mo’nique don’t give all the truth either. She wants to be right so bad that she’s burning up that seat she was sitting in because of Charlemagne. I agreed with him. From a numbers standpoint justify why you should get what the “legends” are getting? The word legend is as about as weak as having a Oscar nowadays because it doesn’t sell tickets. I agree with her that their is a financial disparity with women of color. No one disputes that, but we’re talking about Mo’nique and not the color of her skin. She’s trying to make a racial case for why she was offered so little and not a bankability case.
I always come back to this interview. I always stood by her and supported her. Even with my friends and family telling me I sound stupid. She wasn’t wrong and now we’ve come full circle with the whole Taraji situation in the color purple.
I'm in the same situation with my lady friend and she still don't understand💡 She is confused by the outburst Monique made on stage and think Steve was trying to help her..... She reacted to constant disrespect after telling her story several times..... I remember watching the Roland Martin interview on TVone in my living room 💡 I always knew she was going after the machine Hollywood 💯 I'm not interested in the Kat conversation and messy gossip 💯
@@donlamont2909 I’m glad she didn’t back down. All the people that ridiculed her look like fools, and look like fools then, & more so now that other people are starting to come out against oorah. They owe Monique a big a huge apology.
@@Beautiful-Gorgeous Taraji is now at a crossroads in this business💡Oprah is living in a time, where the option to hide behind the veil will not work in her favor💡 Paul Mooney talked about Oprah in his comedy many years ago..... You should listen to it when you get a chance 💡 Right now the masses are distracted by Katt and don't really care about Monique💯
She Called Him Lenard In The Gate Smart Move Put Dat Fake God In Position Then Break Him Down Masterful On Her Part Monique Is A Threat To Fake Ass Gods Thats Why She Calls Her Husband Daddy Cause Her Man Making Her Game Tight ... I Learn Some Shit Watching This One ... Now DJ Envy Need To Figure Out What He Gonna Do With The Lenard Show 😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
B4 I was thinking she was just tripping but now I see she came with them receipts I see her as more than just monique now she is a well spoken intelligent black woman who just knows her worth and wants it it's due time and she tierd because realistically speaking if we as black men are seen as the lowest on the totem pole just imagine how white America sees our women even lower than us smh her husband stood tall and protected her from Leonard his own brother I'm telling you kane and able had to be black
@@usernamecle3439 You can’t lump everyone in the same category. BW in the corporate world deal with similar issues and have gone on to start their own Businesses. BW are the most entrepreneurial and the most educated. Ignorant refers to being uneducated. Perhaps you should learn how to read a dictionary because the ignorant one seems to be you.
I absolutely love the way in which Mo'Nique and her husband handled themselves. But that last statement to Leonard was priceless. Very well said, Ms. Mo'Nique.
I had to come back to this and this should be televised, Black women everywhere know for a fact, we always have to prove our worth even amongst our own❤
And where is she today.. and CTG? That was a low blow by her.. because his platform can not go against what he plans to do for Netflix in the future.. I saw that a mile away. Until black folks have anything and everything gear towards them.. this will continue. However, that may not even happen in this time.. the way this world is turning into. So ungodly like folks.. worshiping all kinds of gods except TMH and actually reading and breaking down THE TRUE word in the closest translation and not this sugar coated version folks have been fed with.. Good day everyone.
I'm here after Monique's interview on Club Shay Shay! I've always agreed with Monique, and I'm glad everything is coming together as it should! I stand by Monique and Equality!! 🤎🤎
Mo'Nique's husband nailed it when he said, "If it is an individual problem, when it comes to Black female comedians, it's: 'What have you done lately? And, when it comes to white female comedians, it's...'" And, Mo'Nique is right that when it comes to people who look like us that we are our worst persecutor when it comes to defending our own in race-biased claims. That's because we have been racially socialized to believe that we will never be as good as, or better than, our white counterpart, and that, therefore, are not worthy of equal pay. Mo'Nique is most definitely right. Bottom line, all of us are not consciously aware, and this is only one of the unconscious manifestations of believing that those among us who are considered top talent by masses are still not worthy of competitive pay with their white counterpart - and that's why some believe that the Black talent must make her perspective, "make sense." Wake up, Leonard, or Lenard.
Now that Taraji came out about her and Fantasia being offered amount so low it was disrespectful for the Color Purple. The Breakfast Club should issue a public apology to Monique bc his donkey of the day didn’t age well.
@@sackmasterreed Couples do that a lot. It's not always sexual. Just public reference of that man being the head of the relationship. It ain't for me, but I've seen it plenty of times.
Katrina Byrd i see what you’re saying and understand but again theres a time and place for everything maybe if this wasnt a serious conversation then i cud try to brush it off but the fact that they’re having a very serious conversation and want to be taken professionally in this matter i just see it as inappropriate and ngl thats crazy cus i never heard couples communicate like this in a serious matter/ topic lol where u from Florida?
It was just announced this past week that Eddie Murphy is in talks with Netflix to do a comedy special for around 70 million. I wonder what charla has to say about that since he hasn’t done stand up since the 80s...
That people are still asking Eddie about doing it 30 years later. Who the hell was asking Monique? People actively WANT Eddie to come back. Just because Monique has the title "legend" doesn't mean people want to see her as much as others. Before this controversy, who the hell here honestly was like, "You know what would be CRAZY!? If Monique got on stage again! OMG EVERYONE would watch that!" The answer is nobody.
Nate River not the point I’m making lol. In this interview, that I’m not even sure you watched or else you wouldn’t have commented, Charla said “this is a what have you done for me LATELY business. What has Eddie done for us lately? I love Eddie and you better believe I’m watching this special. I just want people to understand that Moniques stance is valid and thousands of black women face the same discrimination daily. This is hypocrisy. That’s all.
This nreaks my heart how she said the white and Latino brothers called it from what it is, and a black man down played her. She is right, Viola Davis, Gabrielle Union, and Kerri Washington. Also, all SAY the same thing as Monique about value in the industry. She talented 👏🏽 any kind of way you want to put it.
You have to know your self-worth and put a $value on it. Thank you Ms Monique for speaking up and out about the inequality of black females in ALL industries!! We may not get there in the next 10 years, but Sistahs we will RISE. God told me so🙏🏽
Well spoken Monique! Masterfully kept her emotions at bay and came to clear her name. I support her and every black female comedian who is being silenced and given crumbs in comparison to their peers. Bravo Monique!❤
Who is rewatching the interview after the news broke out that she’s suing Netflix? 🙋🏾♀️ Edited: who is here after the DL Hughley incident? 🤦🏾♀ Edit again 😂: who is here after Taraji discusses the pay disparities of Black actresses/actors?
TheChemi She may very well lose, but as part of the lawsuit they’ve got to deal with depositions and discovery and that will be more telling than anything. On the heels of what Byron Allen is doing with Comcast right now, it’s all important. It might not go their way, but the discussion about pay parity and access to markets is important.
Um I beg to differ. They were looking for comparable pay to comics doing comedy specials. When has Monique sold out a solo comedy special? When has Monique headlined a comedy movie? Her defense were her roles that were part of ensemble casts in dramatic roles. Not the same.
Had to come back and watch this in 2023.. like HAD TO. I’m so proud of women like Monique existing today, completely unafraid to stand on shit in a room full of cowards telling her she’s wrong and the parkers raised me? i was always betting on Mo’ and her word 👏🏽👏🏽
I need Monique's patience, I need her serenity and clarity. The way That Woman Speaks. She is so calm & collected under pressure and at all times, iv never seen anyone communicate the way she does, and Iv always seen her like this in other interviews, she never loses her cool, or gets spiteful & angry. I Have enormous Respect for her communication skills. Im wishing you all the best.
I love how Monique talks like she don’t have to yell in conversation she speaks calmly even when someone opposes her statements or opinions or even facts.

Charlemagne The God Never Fit That Dude He still a Country Boy ... No disrespect to Country Boys In General But Monique Out Ranks That Dude He Slow ... He Should Have Realized When She started addressing him by his government name and asked him where he came from but he did see it coming ... Lenard got put in his place .... I really enjoyed this interview very eye opening Monique put some Harriet Tubman On That fake God .
Other than Katt, Mo'Nique has been blackballed for years idk why tf she is being treated like this!! I love her and katt and Bernie because they speak their minds!!
