Usually the free promo is written into the contract. Monique's contract did not say anything about promotion of the movie.
That's the funny thing, the promo was in her contract. She did the promo that was contracted, everything was done and over. Lion's Gate came back later and wanted her to do promo at the Cannes festival in paris, that wasnt in the contract. Also ppl and missing things. She didnt go to Tyler and Oprah asking them to pay for the promo. Her management asked Lions Gate first after they kept calling trying to pressue Monique to do the promo for free. She asked the studio. Oprah and Tyler only come in when they try to pressure her to do the promo for free.
I hate being this person but I was looking at the first couple pages and saw someone ask about her husband but didn’t see the response . Can anyone shed light on why people in the industry have an issue with her husband? I honestly don’t know about him. Like what did he actually do?
Most likely they dont like that he doesnt play the games regular industry agents play. Idc about him cheating on Mo or them having an open relationship etc.(which I think that post was getting at).
However, monique and taraji needed to look at their management team and agents that fukked up their pockets..
From Monique stand point she could have easily just stayed doing stand up getting good checks instead of waiting on Hollywood
And Taraji been in the game 20 plus years , she could have easily got into producing/directing,etc because she seen how shyt works..
We straight up have Monique saying "Lee wanted me for Cookie, but Lee said due to Tyler saying things behind the scenes, he had to go with with Taraji"
The best agent in the world aint overcoming that.
Taraji fired her team for mismanaging her career. She did say they wanted to give Cookie her own show, but she declined it because "it wasnt right" or something. Im curious as to what the issue was about the show. I fell off of Empire after like the first season but from the viral clips, it seemed wild as hell already.
YOU MOVING SUSPECT AS fukk
IN THIS THREAD.
DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE INTERVIEW?
It's obvious a lot of ppl in here who speaking against the interview/monique, didnt bother to watch. They just wanted to get their hate off. Be it because a black woman speaking out, they dont like monique, or they dont like "attacking successful black ppl". Same shyt happened in the Katt thread. You also got some of the same ppl who "dont like the messy shyt", still in a thread like this though.
Parkers money - Monique said she was told
by the studio, that the parkers made 800M/900M. Her 2 bilion estimate (She admits it's a guess) is what that 900M numbers is plus 14 more years of w/e deals they do for streaming and sells. It's not farfecthed to think it has made 600M more since 2009. Yall just looking at streaming stuff, yall not looking at the syndication aspect. Do you think BET was running the parkers for free?
Seinfeld was $500 million for a 5 year deal.. you have to realize Bryan allen became a billionaire from selling ads on low quality programming of shows he owned. the parkers had syndication and reruns worldwide even till this day.
Another thing is that 500M isnt the only deal seinfield has had. Hulul bought it for lfike 200M a few years ago. Thats on top of what the show still makes for syndication today. Actors get paid residuals.
In 2010, it was stated Seinfeld had made 2.7B dollars.
Jerry Seinfeld cashed in on 'Seinfeld,' but his co-stars lost out on a major deal that could have earned them more.

In 2010, according to Warner Brothers Entertainment,
the show had earned $2.7 billion, of which $380 million were in cable reruns and $2.3 billion were in regular reruns.
It's now 2024. Just on streaming we know like 800M can be added to that 2.7B total for 3.5B made. Aint no telling how much it still makes off the reruns since TNT/TBS still runs seinfeld.
If anyone thinks the parkers has only made 800M/900M since 2009, not accounting for syndication, and streaming. You are an idiot. Of course it wouldnt be on the scale of seinfeld, but it would still generate hundreds of millions since then. Hell the parkers are on Netflix right now. Do you think Netflix got it for free?
