She is complaining because she was only offered 500K for a show while others such as Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle and Amy Schumer were offered millions (13-20)
Guess the thought hadn't occurred to her that they are just way more famous than she is. Why think logically when you can say they are being gender and racially biased.

More reason for me to keep watching netflix.

I seriously forgot she existed until now
itsprobablysarcastic
Amy Schumer should have to pay the audience
OhhHaiMark
Oh you were only offered half a million dollars... let put down my ramen and cry for you

Who the fuck is this?
likehelly
I don't think I've seen anything she's in because I do not know who this is
Beelsebooob
Who?
builditguy
I agree. She didn’t get offered note because she is not as talented. She can’t accept that and tries to claim things that aren’t true.
Jupman
She is talented, that us point she is making
YuliqaMadiq
She was never really that funny.
AWitlessIdiot
500k is really good for a D-list celebrity
Jupman
An oscar winning one
AWitlessIdiot
Kobe Bryant has an Oscar and so do a thousand unknowns.... they don't mean shit.

Grocken
I loved her in Beerfest!
Ghost0fDawn
Dave chappelle (black), Amy schumer (woman)... Seems clear this is a race/gender issue with her pay.
equityforpunks
But she is black, women, and not famous, so she is clearly triple discriminated against others.
JadawinUK
I'd do a Netflix comedy stand-up show for 250K.
Jusmar
15 minutes. Literally tell jokes you've always told for 15 minutes.
JAFIOI
Hell, I'd do a porno for $500 and a combo meal.
AIRBORNEALLTHEWAY
Yeah but most guys would do a porno just to get laid so that's not really a fair comparison.
JAFIOI
I can laid, no problem. Ask a bitch to buy you a combo meal and see how bitchy she gets.
SirBlades
You're underselling yourself there my friend.
imagerboy
Yeah sometimes, SOMETIMES, not all the time, the entertainment industry is about who can be sold. She's a has been
imagerboy
Well maybe all the time, it's just also sexist and a little racist sometimes. It's all pretty fucked up behind the scenes
Jupman
She just won an oscar like few years ago. Then when she ask for more mony on her next project the same thing happen
jimmythehat1
She's out of her mind if she thinks she's in the same league as Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle. I saw Chappelle live years ago. He added a

She did not say she was like cheppelle

second show because the first show sold out so quickly. I went to the second show. The first ran 2+ hours and ran long. The 2nd show he said
jimmythehat1
fuck it and stayed up on the stage for FOUR hours just riffing, and didn't leave until the venue said they couldn't stay open any longer.
jimmythehat1
But the whole crowd wanted more, and he could have gone longer. It was an unbelievable night for stand up comedy. It was insane!
fettuccine
Which one was this?
jimmythehat1
I can't remember the name of the tour, but it was during Chappelle Show, when he came to Houston
ArtOzz
About to say, I hate celeb BS but I recognize all those names...except hers. Point @OP.
holdonwhileioverthinkthis
I do too! But I hate it more when they throw out "racial or gender bias". It's like dude, you're just not relevant. Let it go
dumpsterjedi1
Paid Schumer way too much.
fettuccine
TRUTH
distainv
Im surprised they offered her that much! I know of good stand up comics who can't sell their special to netflix.
trapperjohnmd
It's a business. You're only worth what you can bring back in return. Obviously has an overly bloated estimation of her worth.
iamthisguy247
Agreed, plus what she doesn't make from them she gains from exposure. The reach of Netflix has to be huge for a comedian.
damien309
Not going to lie, I wouldn't watch her stand up. =/
winkwinkborkbork
It’s embarassing her lack of self-awareness and go out eith such ridiculous claims
Corona688
Not uncommon in celebrities.
L4dead2
I'd rather watch Monique than Amy Schumer
Volimar
I agree about her not being popular, but Wanda Sykes tweeted that she was offered even less.
Arock77
I think we could do with a little less Nique
BestUsernameICouldThinkOf
Oh, boo hoo. She's ONLY being offered a half million dollars for something no one will watch?
Jupman
Obviously someone is if they are talking to her in the first place.
exlurker42
I don't know who this is, so maybe that's why she didn't get more
StarkeRealm
You don't suppose there's a correlation between the 500k offer and the fact that she hasn't been culturally relevant since 1996?
holdonwhileioverthinkthis
Exactly. If you read her rationale on why she isn't getting more it is ridiculous
Jupman
Incorrect you only know who people are if they want you to know. Media is contrlled remember.
bdegenerate
Erm her rationale is right. She has an Oscar and several other awards.
holdonwhileioverthinkthis
Cool. Maybe if she was still as relevant and as "famous" as the others. She would be getting paid like them.
EtPourtantNon
I don’t think she’s been relevant since the 90’s.
fatherofhooligans
Except when she won the Oscar in 2009
EtPourtantNon
I stand corrected. Briefly relevant again in the first couple months of 2009.
fatherofhooligans
And then a sitcom and a talk show. And an Emmy in 2015
UrsusMimas
She won an Oscar?
fatherofhooligans
Yes, for the move Precious
RoadlampRebel
It's true. They mentioned you by name in the contract.
EtPourtantNon
Yup. Exlurker42. Can confirm.
StormageddonDarkLordOfAllAKAAlfie
That's a solid strategy to never get offered a Netflix show ever again.
itslikechowder
I’m sure that 500k is off the table now
Jupman
Yea cause when amy did it and hot paid she sure got booted.
fettuccine

Heliogabalus227
Wasn't she in Precious, based on the novel Push by Sapphire?
Jupman
Yes and won an oscar.
iamthisguy247
It's Racist! Oh right Chappelle. Then it's Sexist! Oh right Schumer. It's Logical!
nineteen85
The dumbest part about her statement is a black guy was paid the most of all of them. Kinda throws the racist bit out the window...
Anyport313
Just another shakedown using racism/sexism
Jormugund
obviously it is intersectionality. nothing to do with more rational solutions.
alexatrf21
She's not funny! Oh, right, Chelsea Handler.
joshuabonds87
Could have used shcumer as well
knurll
Nah people can beat off to Chelsea though.
Flyndaran
Okay. That made me lose my appetite.
knurll
Chelsea is the brunette chick on the cop show with Andy Sandburg from lonelyIsland right?
edmondtantes
Boom roasted
adventportal
Isn't Schumer a man though?
dogfrost9
Fuck no! She's barely even human.
whopper68
I cant remember the last time she was relevant...was it Beerfest ?
atleastIwasnt36
I like mustard on my hot dog!
L4dead2
She's In alot of black films
JonathanNagaki
She’s black.. I mean fat
L4dead2
Well which one
JonathanNagaki
Asshole. Meant she’s an asshole
L4dead2
I still think she's funnier than Amy Schumer
fatherofhooligans
She won an Academy Award for Precious
CHarbringer
Almost a decade ago
whopper68
But that wasnt a comedy...
l0lcake
Cool, was she funny in it?
VulcanP90
yeah but how many people saw Precious
fatherofhooligans
Quite a lot I’d wager, it made almost $50 million on a $10 million budget. Nominated for four Oscars with 2 wins.
VulcanP90
OK well Ant-Man made $50 mil it's opening week. I'm not arguing whether Precious is good or bad, I just don't think a lot of people saw it.
fatherofhooligans
How do you think it made that much money if not a lot of people saw it?
killerkadoogan
That was a bone bring thrown to get them too.. She's been less than D list anyways..
MakeTabbouleNotWar
She did a hell of a job in Precious.

Sorry, I dont watch the OWN network.

Exactly.

I think she was in BEERFEST. Das Booooot

What was her name? Cherry? Is that it?

Please! I knew it the whole time!

I'm reasonably certain that she did NOT star in "Das Boot".

She was a DefComedy comedian with a low rated sitcom in the early 2000s. Also had a few lines in BeerFest

demobytom
Those were defo a words you said.. I still don't know who or where or what..
Jupman
Win several awards including an oscar then got blackballed for asking more money on her next project.
OriginalNameDoNotSteal
But for people who don't follow her career, and may have only crossed paths by happenstance. I think I'm more accurate.
Jupman
Then why should they care, I don't watch Amy but she had a legitimate complaint, made it, and folks supported her. And some did not
OriginalNameDoNotSteal
She really didn't, she agreed to what she was paid, then had buyers remorse when she found out Chappell got more. 1/2
