Honestly, Sommore might've played Nikki better if she was casted. She deserved the mainstream push that Mo'nique got
Fam, c'mon now... Sommore really wouldn't have been convincing playin the thirsty type. They'd have to change the subtext for that to work.
Early Sommore looked like the kind who didn't have troubles pullin Brehs :mjlol:

Above the fray.
But, this is about Netflix coming correct.

I watched the first 40 minutes of the Sway interview and I will admit that I now have a better understanding of what her stance is.I have the context of her current beef by hearing her version of the lee daniels, Tyler Perry, and Oprah tapdancing story.

I think she should have gone even further in airing Oprah out by mentioning how many times she had partnered up with Harvey Weinstein despite his reputation for violating women. That golden globes speech Oprah gave was bullshyt.

HOWEVER

Monique needs a better manager and a better publicist. There are ways to craft your struggle in a way that gets the people behind you, and what she's doing is NOT it.

The FREE THE LOX campaign & Prince having "slave" written across his face come to mind as moves that drew public support for the artist raging against the machine.

Her husband/manager has to go ,ASAP. What she's neglecting in her interview is that Schumer is where she is and makes what she makes because of the management team behind her .THEIR leverage is what allows THEM to negotiate against Netflix. In sports, the super agents have and use the same kind of leverage to negotiate against team owners and GMs.
Her husband is moving wrong..all wrong. If a company lowballs your client with an offer and your NEXT move is to threaten to expose that offer to the public..you are in over your head as a manager.

Her point about being the most decorated female comedian ever is wrong. Whoopi Goldberg won an Oscar also ,decades ago and has won all types of awards since then and may have Tony and Emmy nominations. Now, Whoopi tapdances a lot also (Polanski is not RAPE..rape & Mel Gibson is not a racist)

I like Monique's spirit, and respect her intent but she's not relaying her message in the best way. Once you take certain stances, prepare for and expect NOBODY to have your back. Don't address people out there who aren't supporting you or who are criticizing your moves.....that just distracts from your point.

Sadly, looking at how you nikkas reason and conclude that she's wrong for knowing her worth. I could imagine what yall would be saying against Dave Chappell had he complained for not getting equal pay as Seinfield

Why do some of y'all stay using emotions for everything y'all speak on. This is about status to me not no fukking race or gender shyt. If Eddie Griffin or another not as hot person was on the shyt she was on I'd say the same thing. If y'all really have a point why don't y'all ever say it without using emotional heartstring stuff? It makes it like y'all have no point and trying to shame folks to y'all's pov and that don't work similar to Monique.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, in a 30+ page thread, you more likely did not read my various post in this thread that directly address most of the same arguments that are being recently mentioned now
Realistically, the arguments I replied to, which are the same as the new ones, are more likely the same as the arguments in the middle and beginning of thread
So that suggest a hive mentality that's based on superficial, stereotypical and speculative deducement

Never had Netflix. How is it? :lupe:

They keep upping the price without upping their catalog, always a recipe for success. If Amazon would add a couple more shows and simplify their interface, Netflix would be done.

I'm talking about the dude I quoted and others who post like that on either side. Folks stay with the y'all don't do this when x y z and that simply isn't the case. I also don't see you quoting that person though because you most likely agree with them. My point doesn't change at all. Too many people use the emotional stuff when if they have a actual point they don't have to it would stand on its own. If you didn't do that in your post in this thread I'm not talking about you. If you did I'm am.
