Actress Should Listen To Will Rogers

[Blind Gossip] Will Rogers said: “If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is to stop digging.”

Yet this actress just keeps digging!

She was offered a good job… and turned the offer into chaos.

The biggest mistake she made was leaking some story months ago that they were going to pay her some ridiculous amount of money that was ten times what they were actually willing to pay her. Girl is delusional.

She did this even BEFORE the negotiations even started!

Perhaps she thought that if she put that number out in the universe it would become real?

It turns out she was wrong. Very wrong.

It’s normal for companies to offer low and then it’s your job to go in and counter high. Or you can walk. Everybody has that choice. She didn’t even counter. She was so insulted that she just started looking to sue.

The revelation of how much she was initially offered must have been too embarrassing to bear once it was made public.

Does she think the public will support her?

She thinks that people around the world will rise up and start boycotting. Like I said, Girl is delusional.

So, will suing help her career?

No way. She keeps alienating more and more people in the industry. Every time she is offered a job (or not offered a job!) she turns into a freaking mess.

Who wants to work with some nasty b*tch who will sue you when you offer her a job?

Good question.

Yet she keeps digging that hole deeper and deeper…

    Mo’Nique.

    She’s had a reputation of being difficult for years, and this doesn’t help. Netflix paid Dave Chappelle more money than her, because he’s more relevant and can pull in a greater number of people. She’s talented, but she just cannot get out of her own way, which is likely why she’s lost roles and supporters in the industry over the years. I don’t think it has anything to do with gender or race, but more to do with who she is as person

    Mo’Nique

    For some strange reason, she seems to lack self-awareness. She doesn’t realize that SHE is the problem.

    Have Netflix film your standup comedy act. Collect $500K. How stupid would someone have to be to turn down that offer?

    I hope her family /loved ones get her to therapy. Her actions make no sense and I fear there may be some pathology fueling all of this on some level. “Girl is delusional” was the phrase used in the blind. She has issues, the kind you treat with visits to a psychiatrist. Get well Mo’Nique and go stealth until you are better.

  5. DavyRogers says

    Mo’Nique is delusional. She was offered 40X less money than Chappell because she’s going to pull in 40X fewer viewers. That’s how it works. It’s not because he is a man.
    I like Mo’Nique and I’m sorry her mental illness has ruined her future.

    Mo’nique and her 500K from Netflix. Her lawsuit is baseless. Netflix foolishly paid Amy Schumer, and Dave Chappelle, big money so they aren’t biased against race or gender. They offered her 500K for an hour, because that is what they thought she was worth. Neither Opera & Lee Daniels, will work with her again. My advice would be stop making enemies and take what you can get, because you are no longer a sought after comic. I think she has sealed her fate and no one will offer another special.

    Mo’Nique. She talks a great game, but she is full of it. She is the common denominator in her being ostracized job after job.

    Everyone has to put their head down and work. Shut your mouth and work. When you gain some real power, you can do and say whatever you want. Right now, you’re not as powerful as you think you are. No one wants to work with you because you’re a difficult employee who wants to air dirty laundry instead of resolving it discreetly and professionally.

    This is mo’ nique. She’s trying to sue Netflix for offering her a measly 500k for a show. 😄 Yep, she’s digging a hole and burning bridges.

    Mo’Nique

    She needs to get real and start working again. The only thing she does is pick fights and cause problems for the studios. She could be working and finding solutions from the inside.

  24. MelodyMunroe7 says

    Monique suing Netflix. Girl just take the job and work from there. Pride comes before the fall.

    Monique

    An exetremely talented woman – who cannot get out of her own way.

    She will never work in Hollywood again. Her career is over.

  29. TheRider says

    Mo’Nique.

    She should have taken the 500k, made a great stand up, Netflix would have offered her more money and/or deal. She can’t compare herself to any of the comedians she mentioned who got more because she hasn’t been hot in a very long time. She needs to humble herself and get rid of the husband.

    Monique

    Just stop already & just sit down & be quiet. She will be completely blackballed if she doesn’t.

  33. jadedone23 says

    Is this Monique and the Netflix comedy special? I read today that she was suing over their lowball offer.

  34. KCeagle says

    Lindsay Lohan ?

    She needs to get over herself !! Her brand is poison, as BF titled a blind about her. LiLo has now become LOL 😂
    She’s still riding on her Mean Girls fame from almost 20 years ago. News flash sweetie, that was a movie, mean girls finish last, and their blooming careers get trashed.

    I’d advise her to stop burning bridges but she doesn’t take good advice. IMO They shouldn’t have even made her an offer to begin with.

  45. LizardQueen says

    Monique?
    You say actress, which she is. But I was thinking more comedian for her. Still sticking with Monique.
    Her reputation for years has been a pain in the butt! Her and her manager/agent husband are notorious for being difficult then crying victim after folks don’t put up with their shenanigans. Gurl, bye!

    Monique

    Girl, chill out. You’ve won an Oscar, you have talent. Let that speak for you. Stop the litigation, take some small jobs, do good work and slowly build your reputation back up.
