Like he said when he was turned down he financed his own comedy special and sold it to Showtime, if Monique had such an issue why not do the same. Gary spoke to the business side of it. He knows he won't get the same amount as Tiffany Haddish because he didn't get as many views. Why is this so hard to understand?
c.christina murphy She'd rather complain than find a different way to get her money. If Netflix wont pay her what she feels she's worth, she needs to say "fuck Netflix". Why she still groveling trying to get their money. The energy she's spending trying to take down Netflix she could be using to elevate another entity that does want to pay her more. Or she might not actually be worth what she thinks she's worth. That's always a possibility.
They was interested in her... but the money wasn’t right... she still gonna do her own special but decided to speak out so it won’t continue... somebody gotta speak out at some point... the me too movement came about and nobody wasn’t telling them actresses to start their own thing
I love Gary’s logic. Even when Monique came for his wife and daughter, Gary stayed mad cool. And then Gary gave her some solid advice especially at the end. It’s funny to me how all these “woke” black people out here begging white people for THEIR money when they have the ability to make something for themselves.
It's funny to me to see a black woman advocating a white man suggesting the black woman needs to be the one to come crawling on her knees with an apology on her lips begging for a handout as if she's just not a viable talent at all
Kyjuan Carter She shouldn’t be begging is the point I was making. I was talking about the advice Gary gave her with regard to doing her own show and selling it to the media outlets. I think she is very talented. But that’s THEIR money. If she believes in her own worth then eff them and their bs contract. She should do her own thing.
Black people need to stop acting like they OWN other black people. You DO NOT have rights to anybody bc of their skin color. Gary is ON POINT about Monique. She need to own up to her bs & stop beefing with everybody.
Monique cant come to grips that she has a bad reputation that just might be, possibly well deserved. She acts like all these beefs came out of thin air and everybody's out to get her. Netflix, Tyler Perry, Oprah, Lee Daniels, Will Packer, Roland Martin, etc. Maybe it's you, Monique. She running out of people to feud with. She mad and blaming everybody else when things dont go her way.
My problem with Monique she wants everyone to rally behind her, yet she has thrown so many of celebrities under the bus for not supporting her. It's kind of like if u don't agree with Monique than it's no conversation. In all these interviews I feel no one gets a chance to say how they feel about the topic, Monique goes on defense. He is rite Monique needs to have a private conversation with people instead of public because it causes to much chaos. I wouldn't want to have a conversation with Monique because she will run back to her podcast and tell everything. Monique if u want to work again please fix this situation.
Mo gotta alot of BS with her and the shit she says never holds her to any accountability. 1st she said it was 1 thing,then when it was exposed that DL wasnt in charge, then she said he has been talking shit .Make up your mind please.
Tony Sunshine. Where did you see me say I didn't support anybody. You have no clue why I say he is a great guy. You people are funny. Stop being so bitter and get some happiness in your life. Bye child
Gary, just like any other comedian that has experienced in equality with Netflix, has a right to say something. I fully respect Monique for what she is doing, for why she is doing it. Bt her husband is the reason for all the bad luck and destruction in her career. Sidney is pulling Monique strings, and things are nt looking good. I truly believe if Monique was to get a better manager than her husband, her career will start being better.
Why? Have you seen her interview with the breakfast club? She explains it well. She has a point. This is also for non celeb woman of color to have a look at in their workplace or entrupenorships.
Being one in the entertainment biz. From my experiences, when an artist risks their career standing on principle. You can bet. That artist is telling the truth and the first thing the biz will do is try to make the artist look crazy.
Asha Rose he has a black wife. What does he need to do to be part of the convo? We need all people to complete the convo. Can't just be black people talking to each other.
SHE went to Netflix and turned down $3million because she didn't want to show the Neflix exec. if she had some original material or if she was still doing the same "Skinny B****es are evil" routine. She turned it down so they only offered her $500k. She and her "manager" Sidney need to learn how to negotiate. She could have asked for points on the back end (a %of profits). Marlon Brando took a lower salary for points when he did The Godfather and that is STILL working out well for his estate.
Jerome Savary why not bring them up? Why wasnt your question "why did gary interject himself into it?" Sometimes a person only understands when you bring it home for them. I think it was a well thought out response by Monique because she did not attack them.
half urban half suburban yes she did covertly. Netflix made a business decision and shr took it personally and wants support for her personal business issues. Mo is angry abd bitter cos she aint done nothing since winning an oscar
Jerome Savary to say that these issues effect those that you love is not an attack. He put his family on tv. Monique performs 45 weeks a year confirmed by guy torry on the tom joyner interview, shes also done movies including the film that gary and tigger are talking about with will packer. Shes also turned down roles because of the low ball offers. Who told you she hasnt done anything?
Gary you are and should be proud! You saved that young person's life. I love you for that. You are a good human being and an asset to the human race...sending happy, positive, good prayers your way Gary1
Gary is sooooo right it was strictly a numbers thing!....i dont care w what Monique says she is not pulling in the ratings and the numbers that the other comedians got so because of that she can expect to be paid like the big comedians she should have took that 500000 and ran with it and created a another opportunity for herself a different platform to possibly show Netflix that she can bring in the numbers then maybe they would have considered giving her more money but she tried to make it erase gender thing and I agree with Gary when he said it was just a number thing
Please stop all this racist bull. Monique ruined her own career. She chose this path. It’s funny how a black Woman hates on a black man and it’s ok. A white man stand up for a black man and your mad. GTFOH. Let’s say she had gotten 10 million would she have made a video? She’s not worth a million. What arenas has she sold out. Chappelle,Hart,Rock and Schumer has.
a black man (Lee D) came for her and hated on her first, by saying the typical male bashing bullshit..."she was difficult", so she fought back so if she ruined her career defending herself then so be it. However, this wasn't Gary's fight so yes people are mad.
What Gary Owens is saying is right. Monique is not that funny. Idk why she thinks she deserves yo be paid 20 mil. Her, chris, and chapelle aren't equal! She shouldn't expect to get paid as much as they were.
Justice Justice she also said to boycott Netflix as well too..Are you canceling your Nexflix for Monique? No your not and neither am I....she miss me with that....I wish many would know she was offered 3 Million $$$ so listen to Jawn Murry who has " the real " story...She will continue her pity party tour
How do you know that? What do you have to back that statement up? Here you go this will help you out ruclips.net/video/X6eD8sYBfyI/видео.html watch the whole thing but 35:21 starts the conversation
thetvzone that 3 mil was a lie, she showed all her paperwork. And Netflix also said we don't discuss negotiations to the public. So that person that said she was offered 3mill lied.
Tayamyre yeah and I have some waterfront property to sell you in Arizona....GTHFOH Moinque will play victim and scream until she let back on somebody lot...Jwan Murray had receipts on her, and he has sources that what journalist do...they known ppl in who work at networks, Netflix etc...Nope sorry don't feel bad for her, because her husband got her in this mess, and when he leaves her broke what y'all going to say then...She back on the chitling circuit doing them church plays...Mama I need a hot comb cause my weave dried up" that be her next play... If Will Packer who faught for her, and her husband cussed him out...If studios ain't fucking with her and she has known to have a bad ass attitude and difficult on set..and y'all feel she was wrong, she was wrong for letting the nigga ass husband fuck her mind & her money up...she only has herself only to blame...At some point in time Adults have to step up and take responsibility for their own actions and stop playing the victim card...She'll continue to be yesterday flavor of the month until the shit get real.
Really!!! Why are ppl using race? He stuck up for a friend. Big Monique fan, but when you wrong say it. Monique did not promote movies like she should of. She went hard at 1st and later on, when her husband/ manager really gained control she started losing everything bit by bit. All you have to do is look. That Oscar was for her part in a movie which she semi promoted because she did have other things going on. This man has her so twisted she can't think straight. Her manager is the reason her shit has been going down hill.. This is about money and numbers and fucked up management!!!
Aiyisha Anderson you gotta admit her husband as her manager may not be the best move. Think I'm lying....look at Wendy Williams. Sometimes you need someone outside the Fam.
she was asked to do a non-contractual job of going oveseas to promote Precious...she would have to pay for her room, etc...she said no, and wanted to stay with her family instead...she only got paid 50,000 for doing Precious and she won an Oscar for her perfomance in that movie....now with this Netflix situation, i guess her old manager was managing her? I mean she would have to pay her manager a percentage, and other people from that 500,000.00 which she wouldn't have much left at all...so in a way I can see her point but she has to stop at some point cause she is seriously losing money now for not gettin any work (that i know of now)..
Although I don't agree with the boycott, why are ppl continuously telling Monique to say sorry? If she isn't sorry, why tf would she say sorry? That's how she truly felt
Some of y’all ain’t rational or reasonable. He’s a fellow comedian and he’s worked with the same folks she has. He has a right to comment. People saying they can’t side with anyone against a black woman are crazy. You sound like those trump fanatics that agree or defend whatever he does. So if two black women have a disagreement, who you siding with? Lol. Is that when you’ll use reason? I doubt it. Monique handled the situation wrong. If she was doing this for us, she would’ve been done it. Not just when it affected her personally.
I don’t get it. Ppl say he has no business talking negatively towards a black woman. So is what he saying true or you want a black woman to speak negatively and that’ll appease you
Jamedra A Sidney is just fattening her up with lies, and deception for the kill. But that's a strong, independent black woman that chose a stray to be her "daddy".
Asha Rose he isn’t even talking about her situation with Netflix. He’s coming to the defense of his friend which he has every right to. Cuz she’s putting dirt on his name
Gary speaking Wisdom and Truth!! Really want to ride for Monique but her failure to question/consider in all the situations openly aired what could I have contributed to this situation? Really is it all the others? Wish her well.
Asha Rose I disagree. Just because someone is of a different race/ethnicity does not mean they are automatically disqualified (soley on that basis) of forming a fair and intelligent opinion. I am Black and do that agree with Monique on this situation... But I have others! The black community are split on this one. But let us agree to disagree where that occurs. Blesses to All.
H BLUEBELL You are 100% correct. Monique did a great job causing confusion with the race and feminism card. She needed a group of people to help fight for her movement and she chose race and feminism to throw shit on a wall and see what would stick and now she has different causes agitated and not realizing her bullshit. She's wrong to get these movements involved for her shit too but this is a business matter and that's it. She manipulated the system...😒
Robert Jones Again, don't change the narrative. Her issue is a green issue. Not black or white nor feminine. She basically isn't worth what she thinks she is. If she is, then prove it by selling out stadiums on her own comedy tour like Charlemagne suggested on Power 105.1. Her and her husband refused to make a counter offer or shop her "supposed worth" to alternative networks. They basically refused to get busy and handle their business. Instead they chose to bitch and moan to the public by getting in their feelings. Action is what's respected. Don't wanna hear another fucking sob story. Due diligence muthafucka ! I don't feel sorry for her fat ass.
JaVaughn McGregor How can't you be worth what you think you are.Thoughts are perceptions and anything you perceive is reality.That's first and foremost. Second.Her resume and it's accolades speak for themsleves. She's obviously relevant to alot of people if she had a critically acclaimed movie in 2015( Bessie) and a hit movie and 2016 and a sold out comedy show in 2017.The problem with negros is your vision is limited.You don't know alot about the world or business and you only think something is relevant if you know about it.That limited view is why you will forever finish last. When a future employer can't tell you the guidelines they're using to determine your salary.Then something fishy.What happened is, they overpaid for Chris, David and Amy and they were forced to raise subscriptions.They didn't want to loose anymore for their bottom line so they decided to low ball Monique and Wanda.Since I understand business becuase I went to school for it I comprehend their stance, but it's always the melanated man or woman that has to take one for the team.The majority of the time it's the melanated women.She's the most educated ethnic group in the U.S but the most inderpaid. Now if you understand math and you understand business.Please expalin to me how the market determines value but a person( Monique) who is as equally popular but more infamous and controversial than their contemporary( Amy) is being offered 126 percent less to do the same job as their contemporary. No logical business person can rationalize that and that's why it's a bunch of novice arguing about things they can't comprehend. A comedy show is a speaking engagement.It's no different than a motivational speaking conference, sit down interview, a one man tell all etc.The people who do these speaking tours whether it's comedy or otherwise get a salary that's complementary to the amount of attention their receiving.As I said, Monique has a long resume but she's currently in the public ear.She's on every national show because of the Netflix beef and she was infamous before that becuase of the Tyler, Oprah and Lee beef.That notoriety along with her comedic ability, movie talent,and the fans or noisy observers she will bring in from all walks guarantees her a salary that's not 126 percent less than her competitors. But as I said, Netflix thought she was desperate so they low balled her and they didnt even want to counter their offer becuase melanated women get the short end of the stick The irony is, Monique and her beef with Netflix have kept their name in the public light more than any of those comedy shows.A good business person would renegotiate that contract becuase people will tune in becuase they want to cheer her on becuase of her plight, or they would want to see her fail.Either way they will tune in, because as they say in Hollywood.There's no such thing as bad publicity,becuase it's all publicity.Just ask the Kardashians.
I don't think she should apologize. She has the right to stand up for herself. I see no difference between her situation and a person going into an interview looking for 100K/yr based on their worth and being offered 50K. I also think she should handle her personal business away from social media. From what I've learned, this is messy. Handle yo bidness Queen. The real is: only you and the people involved KNOW what's going on. Good luck!
Asha Rose you are illiterate.. amy is currently very marketable, she is selling out major arenas, something Monique hasn't done but some club open mic specials.. it is pure business. This is not a white or black thing since dave Chappell and Chris rock both got more money than amy and rightfully so because they can make back the profits for netflix.. they aren't going to invest in you if you aren't going to guarantee returns..
U make no sense listen to the debate they r bringing up Amy, chappelle n rocks resume. So y doesn’t hers matter n chappelle just came back into entertainment biz.
Black Frosty Gaming I see none. N also keep hearing how rude she has been, listen to a whole list of people who would not work with her only after she began to start talking about what was bothering her
Gary is so real, all these people keep telling Mo'Nique the same thing but she never listen, she needs to be humble , and learn stop being the only star that she think is important, get out of her own way
Thanku Gary Owens for clearing this up it's a numbers game who is going to bring in the most profit, he just said Tiffany Haddish does a comedy special she will get two million, a black woman, more than he would because it's a number game.
Abdu Robinson please explain, how does netflix PROFIT from the specials? Keep in mind that members pay for netflix in totality not for individual shows! If you cant explain that, than you need to sit yo fake business analysis ass down!
half urban half suburban Gary did say that there are other ways to go, Netflix is not ur only option, I don't understand why is it so hard for Monique to understand this, she keeps harping on Netflix. Gary said Netflix turned him down and he's a white man. So he decided to go to show time. It's not like Netflix is ur only way to go.
Abdu Robinson i agree that netflix is not the only way to go but when black people are paying for membership than they should have to answer to us why are you paying black women less, but we dont value ourselves enough to do so. Instead we attack Monique because we personally dislike her. Netflix doesnt pay us we pay them. Gary should be embarrassed to even mention the fact that he was turned down in comparison to Monique!
Some people don't want to hear the truth they can't handle it don't matter if you got money or rich or famous ect....some people can't handle the truth. Gary keep doing your thing. You hot right now and definitely funny also you are a great person. God bless you Keep glowing and blowing up making that money. You go boy.keep shining and don't worry about the haters
Gary, I really gotta respect what you’ve said as it relates to Monique, particularly since I’m one of a few who can relate to what Monique has said about Netflix. However, I still support my sister Monique. Be Blessed, KDK
I love that he broke down the issue so clearly, especially using him verses Tiffany Haddish and also showing what he did when he was rejected or didnt receive what he thought he should have. People aren't seeing THAT is the premise of every conversation, how she handled it period. It is an issue Mo'nique no doubt should have handled better but she will not admit she handled it wrong. How can these people she trashed become willing to give their hard earned money to someone who completely trashed them publicly? No one in this comment section would even consider it.You cant trash a person publicly and then think later they will open their wallet to you, period. They never publicly shamed or defamed her, she did it herself, because if they had wrongfully said she was difficult (defamation) that caused her to loose work she would be able to sue every last one of them.
For those that are pro-Monique, I advise you to actually do the research. Most people are only listening to Monique's side of the story. I have listened to Monique's side, and I have researched what other's in the industry are saying about her, and it is my conclusion that she isn't being completely honest about why she cannot get paid what she think she is worth and/or get movie projects.
La Marr Donaldson watching RUclips videos is not research. You don’t know what you are talking about. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that your used to.
djkoolrod I'm sure he's very aware of black inequality, because his wife black with black children....don't get it twisted bruh...he be on Tom Joyner morning show
U sound dumb my guy!! Having a blac wife and biracial kids with a blac women who obviously he is submissive to is enough. Cut the BS. WHAT HAVE U DONE LATELY BESIDES BEING BLACC!?!?!? 🤔🤔
Gary Owens our brother. The only white comedian/actor that white people don't know. When they come for you Gary (and they will) don't forget your people. We got you.
I love Gary . he is that dude . much love . Monique needs to be humble & get her life . she burning alotta bridges & probably lowering her worth responding to every single person who opposes her . she may need them... no one is gonna work with her ever !!
"Just say sorry???"...Sorry for what? Funny how people(white and black) in Hollywood or any higher up position always try to convince individuals to just apologize. As if Monquie was to put out a public apology Netflix would just miraculously give her a 2 million dollar special. As if Oprah would do an interview with her or a movie. For those who are not in Hollywood, if you were to ask your boss or the CEO of the company you work for, for a raise, based on work experience, work ethic, production, seniority, attendance, and performance right. He or she declines, you share your frustrations, and how you disagree with their decision(being respectful and professional). A week later, you go and apologize for asking for the raise for whatever reason. Do you think that CEO will give you that raise for saying you are sorry???...Picture that
But they are not her boss. They're a business. They're investors. They put their money where they feel there will be a return. So if you want to prove them wrong, do it independently. If it's successful they'll come knocking.
loyaltyfamilyfirst 1. Not a point a question. 2. Didn't say she hasn't accomplished things but obviously she wants more. & if one avenue isn't working try another. Do it independently; because if getting on youtube & calling people out was was working well, she wouldn't be calling for a boycott. Is she being conscious of all the Black actors appearing on Netflix projects?
Jamedra A....1. You never used a question mark in your statement so I didn't know you were asking a question. 2. Monique has done it independently on a few platforms, two on Netflix to be exact. 3. You also have to remember, when discussing these investor's and saying "find another avenue", she didn't go to Netflix, Netflix approached her, and that's the difference people seem to ignore. 3. She's not being conscious for Black actors, she is unveiling the agenda towards black and female comedians, which is a difference. Now has Mo been on the scene like Chappele as of lately, no. However, Monique has accomplished just about EVERYTHING a comedian would want to capitalize or accomplish in their career, especially being a minority and a woman. She is a Queen of Comedy, and if networks won't respect your throne, she has a right to decline & expose. She earned that right through her years of work. Monique does not have to apologize for anything when it comes to stating her worth as a black woman comedy.
Gary is funny. He said probably what many are feeling but don't say out loud. I am tired at this point of Monique. Her husband is the reason her Hollywood worth is not as high as she thinks it should be or that people don't want to work with him
Ppl have been saying whatever they want about Monique. No one have been holding back. Most Black ppl just love getting validation from white ppl. Once the white man say it ....now GOD has spoken!! FOH! Gary should worry about his Mexican kids and black wife. Ijs Mama babies... Papas maybe??!! 🤷🏽♀️
Chanelle Jones but even black people been saying the same about her. So the white man say something now it's a race thing. Good thing he has a black Wife or they'll say he's racist that's why he came at her.
"I'm like Morgan Freeman in Shawshank, I just go in and they always say no". If that was off the cuff, that's a great fuckin joke. People don't give this guy enough credit for his comedic talents.
If your boss tells you in order to get to the big bucks you have to do xyz. So you do your part, doing what is asked of you, constantly taking low offers just to feed your family even though you know you should be getting paid more. But you put your pride aside for the greater good. You then reach that point where you’ve arrived now & its your time to receive the big bucks that you’ve been working so hard to get. Only to have the same ppl that used you, tell you that all that work you put in now means nothing? How would you feel? Are you going to just walk away & allow the next person to do the same thing? At what point do we say enough is enough? She’s not alone because ppl like myself that work regular 9-5 are experiencing the same thing she is talking about. No one person has yet to come up with valid reasons as to why she shouldn’t speak up but everyone keeps saying she should just shutup & apologize(kiss ass). Yall just proving her point about mf’s being too scared to stand up for something. You might not like her approach but she is right.
Gary I'll watch your Netflix special when they finally say yes.
His special is on Hulu, Netflix probably didn't offer him much
He deserves a Netflix special
10:30 mark he addresses Monique situation
Tj Young thank you!
gotta love you
Tj Young Thanks!☺
THANK YOU!
😁😁 thank you
Any comedy gig on any network Gary Owens does I'm watching! He's a good guy and, he's funny!
Like he said when he was turned down he financed his own comedy special and sold it to Showtime, if Monique had such an issue why not do the same. Gary spoke to the business side of it. He knows he won't get the same amount as Tiffany Haddish because he didn't get as many views. Why is this so hard to understand?
c.christina murphy She'd rather complain than find a different way to get her money. If Netflix wont pay her what she feels she's worth, she needs to say "fuck Netflix". Why she still groveling trying to get their money. The energy she's spending trying to take down Netflix she could be using to elevate another entity that does want to pay her more.
Or she might not actually be worth what she thinks she's worth. That's always a possibility.
They was interested in her... but the money wasn’t right... she still gonna do her own special but decided to speak out so it won’t continue... somebody gotta speak out at some point... the me too movement came about and nobody wasn’t telling them actresses to start their own thing
Gary you spoke 10000% Truth!! That’s what I’m talking create your own and show them instead putting that time into just being angry.
Her comment to Gary was inappropriate. She needs to stop hating.
Gary often came to a place I used to work and he was always down to earth , humble and just a nice guy.
Netflix made a business decision and monique took it personally .Sad that she expects ppl to support her for her personal business issues
Jerome Savary how do you know it was a business decision?
It is always business!!! If it doesnt make dollar, it does not make sense.
It's about black female comedians being treated equally
Jerome Savary Netflix can hire me anytime!
Ernesto Montoya Netflix aint the only game in town. If she was hot she could get the money from somewhere else.
Gary Owens is HILARIOUS
I love Gary’s logic. Even when Monique came for his wife and daughter, Gary stayed mad cool. And then Gary gave her some solid advice especially at the end. It’s funny to me how all these “woke” black people out here begging white people for THEIR money when they have the ability to make something for themselves.
Athenia Peterson it's refreshing to see a black woman use logic..stay sleep sister lol
Athenia Peterson Hey Athenia, you said some really good points. Much more so than I've read so far. Well said.
It's funny to me to see a black woman advocating a white man suggesting the black woman needs to be the one to come crawling on her knees with an apology on her lips begging for a handout as if she's just not a viable talent at all
Kyjuan Carter She shouldn’t be begging is the point I was making. I was talking about the advice Gary gave her with regard to doing her own show and selling it to the media outlets. I think she is very talented. But that’s THEIR money. If she believes in her own worth then eff them and their bs contract. She should do her own thing.
Facts
I'm not sure of what to think about this Monique vs everyone she has a problem with. I just hope Jesus will fix it soon!!
Black people need to stop acting like they OWN other black people. You DO NOT have rights to anybody bc of their skin color. Gary is ON POINT about Monique. She need to own up to her bs & stop beefing with everybody.
Monique cant come to grips that she has a bad reputation that just might be, possibly well deserved. She acts like all these beefs came out of thin air and everybody's out to get her. Netflix, Tyler Perry, Oprah, Lee Daniels, Will Packer, Roland Martin, etc. Maybe it's you, Monique. She running out of people to feud with. She mad and blaming everybody else when things dont go her way.

My problem with Monique she wants everyone to rally behind her, yet she has thrown so many of celebrities under the bus for not supporting her. It's kind of like if u don't agree with Monique than it's no conversation. In all these interviews I feel no one gets a chance to say how they feel about the topic, Monique goes on defense. He is rite Monique needs to have a private conversation with people instead of public because it causes to much chaos. I wouldn't want to have a conversation with Monique because she will run back to her podcast and tell everything. Monique if u want to work again please fix this situation.
But what she said was right
Mo gotta alot of BS with her and the shit she says never holds her to any accountability. 1st she said it was 1 thing,then when it was exposed that DL wasnt in charge, then she said he has been talking shit .Make up your mind please.
Gary is a great guy. Thanks for sharing how the show business work.
Tony Sunshine. Where did you see me say I didn't support anybody. You have no clue why I say he is a great guy. You people are funny. Stop being so bitter and get some happiness in your life. Bye child
Gary! Keep doing what you do. Continue to be who you are! You are "Blessed." Take care of your lovely family and do not change!
Geno Bourn - NO DON'T CHANGE... JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH WHEN NO ONE IS TALKING TO YOU
Monique is just burning her bridges. Meanwhile, Tiffany Haddish just got signed with Tyler Perry and his upcoming comedy.
MONIQUE IS BACK!!! That comedy special was well worth adding Showtime to my TV viewing!!!
This Stoopid comment didn't age well lol
And what is he paying her because I know it’s not what she’s worth
Gary, just like any other comedian that has experienced in equality with Netflix, has a right to say something. I fully respect Monique for what she is doing, for why she is doing it. Bt her husband is the reason for all the bad luck and destruction in her career. Sidney is pulling Monique strings, and things are nt looking good. I truly believe if Monique was to get a better manager than her husband, her career will start being better.
Monique should not have brought his kids in this situation. Kids are off limits!!!!
No it didnt. Monique issue was supposedly colour and gender bias. What does his wife and child hav to do with that??
He is telling the truth.
We need to boycott Monique
Why
Why? Have you seen her interview with the breakfast club? She explains it well. She has a point. This is also for non celeb woman of color to have a look at in their workplace or entrupenorships.
YES lmao
I bet y’all dumb ass is black too
Being one in the entertainment biz. From my experiences, when an artist risks their career standing on principle. You can bet. That artist is telling the truth and the first thing the biz will do is try to make the artist look crazy.
That's right! Monique knew her worth and Gary doesn't
Gary is a really good dude and funny
Tina Williams man you don’t know him lol
Tina Williams I
Asha Rose he has a black wife. What does he need to do to be part of the convo? We need all people to complete the convo. Can't just be black people talking to each other.
Asha Rose he's married to a black woman...he might have some insight into those kind of situations ..
iluvdissheet it's a black issue though
Mo listen to Gary at 16:00 and take his advice and do it yourself n sale it
Mo kills her own talents with her and daddy choices. Lady get to work 🚮
SHE went to Netflix and turned down $3million because she didn't want to show the Neflix exec. if she had some original material or if she was still doing the same "Skinny B****es are evil" routine. She turned it down so they only offered her $500k. She and her "manager" Sidney need to learn how to negotiate. She could have asked for points on the back end (a %of profits). Marlon Brando took a lower salary for points when he did The Godfather and that is STILL working out well for his estate.
Why did she bring up his wife and child?? She obviously cannot take criticism
Jerome Savary why not bring them up? Why wasnt your question "why did gary interject himself into it?" Sometimes a person only understands when you bring it home for them. I think it was a well thought out response by Monique because she did not attack them.
half urban half suburban yes she did covertly. Netflix made a business decision and shr took it personally and wants support for her personal business issues. Mo is angry abd bitter cos she aint done nothing since winning an oscar
Jerome Savary to say that these issues effect those that you love is not an attack. He put his family on tv.
Monique performs 45 weeks a year confirmed by guy torry on the tom joyner interview, shes also done movies including the film that gary and tigger are talking about with will packer. Shes also turned down roles because of the low ball offers.
Who told you she hasnt done anything?
Because she"s desperate. She bringing his family into it was foul and uncalled for.
Jason H. Not if she's addressing issues that effects his family!
MONIQUE IS BACK!!! That comedy special was well worth adding Showtime to my TV viewing!!!
Gary you are and should be proud! You saved that young person's life. I love you for that. You are a good human being and an asset to the human race...sending happy, positive, good prayers your way Gary1
Gary is sooooo right it was strictly a numbers thing!....i dont care w what Monique says she is not pulling in the ratings and the numbers that the other comedians got so because of that she can expect to be paid like the big comedians she should have took that 500000 and ran with it and created a another opportunity for herself a different platform to possibly show Netflix that she can bring in the numbers then maybe they would have considered giving her more money but she tried to make it erase gender thing and I agree with Gary when he said it was just a number thing
Love Gary he is the real deal....Thanks for this interview with him!
I wish they talked more about the boy in the woods he sent to college!
Mochab001 gary Owens has a video of it - subscribe to his RUclips, be warned, it’s a tear jerker ☺️
Please stop all this racist bull. Monique ruined her own career. She chose this path. It’s funny how a black Woman hates on a black man and it’s ok. A white man stand up for a black man and your mad. GTFOH. Let’s say she had gotten 10 million would she have made a video? She’s not worth a million. What arenas has she sold out. Chappelle,Hart,Rock and Schumer has.
boondocks We the female, black delegation, approve this message. Lol!
boondocks ... EXACTLY!!! You better tell it!
a black man (Lee D) came for her and hated on her first, by saying the typical male bashing bullshit..."she was difficult", so she fought back so if she ruined her career defending herself then so be it. However, this wasn't Gary's fight so yes people are mad.
no, we do not.
boondocks yep
I love the way Gary Owens Spoke out on the Monique and Will packer segment good job man
What Gary Owens is saying is right. Monique is not that funny. Idk why she thinks she deserves yo be paid 20 mil. Her, chris, and chapelle aren't equal! She shouldn't expect to get paid as much as they were.
Justice Justice she also said to boycott Netflix as well too..Are you canceling your Nexflix for Monique? No your not and neither am I....she miss me with that....I wish many would know she was offered 3 Million $$$ so listen to Jawn Murry who has " the real " story...She will continue her pity party tour
How do you know that? What do you have to back that statement up? Here you go this will help you out
ruclips.net/video/X6eD8sYBfyI/видео.html
watch the whole thing but 35:21 starts the conversation
thetvzone that 3 mil was a lie, she showed all her paperwork. And Netflix also said we don't discuss negotiations to the public. So that person that said she was offered 3mill lied.
She is at least worth 5 million. We allow this white guy to dictate our worth and steal our culture
Tayamyre yeah and I have some waterfront property to sell you in Arizona....GTHFOH Moinque will play victim and scream until she let back on somebody lot...Jwan Murray had receipts on her, and he has sources that what journalist do...they known ppl in who work at networks, Netflix etc...Nope sorry don't feel bad for her, because her husband got her in this mess, and when he leaves her broke what y'all going to say then...She back on the chitling circuit doing them church plays...Mama I need a hot comb cause my weave dried up" that be her next play... If Will Packer who faught for her, and her husband cussed him out...If studios ain't fucking with her and she has known to have a bad ass attitude and difficult on set..and y'all feel she was wrong, she was wrong for letting the nigga ass husband fuck her mind & her money up...she only has herself only to blame...At some point in time Adults have to step up and take responsibility for their own actions and stop playing the victim card...She'll continue to be yesterday flavor of the month until the shit get real.
always loved Gary Owens.......so damn naturally funny
Really!!! Why are ppl using race? He stuck up for a friend. Big Monique fan, but when you wrong say it. Monique did not promote movies like she should of. She went hard at 1st and later on, when her husband/ manager really gained control she started losing everything bit by bit. All you have to do is look. That Oscar was for her part in a movie which she semi promoted because she did have other things going on. This man has her so twisted she can't think straight. Her manager is the reason her shit has been going down hill.. This is about money and numbers and fucked up management!!!
Aiyisha Anderson you gotta admit her husband as her manager may not be the best move. Think I'm lying....look at Wendy Williams. Sometimes you need someone outside the Fam.
she was asked to do a non-contractual job of going oveseas to promote Precious...she would have to pay for her room, etc...she said no, and wanted to stay with her family instead...she only got paid 50,000 for doing Precious and she won an Oscar for her perfomance in that movie....now with this Netflix situation, i guess her old manager was managing her? I mean she would have to pay her manager a percentage, and other people from that 500,000.00 which she wouldn't have much left at all...so in a way I can see her point but she has to stop at some point cause she is seriously losing money now for not gettin any work (that i know of now)..
Although I don't agree with the boycott, why are ppl continuously telling Monique to say sorry? If she isn't sorry, why tf would she say sorry? That's how she truly felt
The reason why she ain't saying sorry, is why she ain't working in Hollywood!
Some of y’all ain’t rational or reasonable. He’s a fellow comedian and he’s worked with the same folks she has. He has a right to comment. People saying they can’t side with anyone against a black woman are crazy. You sound like those trump fanatics that agree or defend whatever he does. So if two black women have a disagreement, who you siding with? Lol. Is that when you’ll use reason? I doubt it. Monique handled the situation wrong. If she was doing this for us, she would’ve been done it. Not just when it affected her personally.
Paper Mario well said
she ain;t doing nothing for me. cause i won;t see a damn dime she would be making...so how is she actually standing up for little ole' me? lol
Paper Mario nobody is siding against a black woman. We are siding against Monique
"When does it stop"? ABSOLUTELY!!!
I don’t get it. Ppl say he has no business talking negatively towards a black woman. So is what he saying true or you want a black woman to speak negatively and that’ll appease you
John Fieffe Apparently, he cant stick up for a black man, but then also can't disagree with a black woman.
Notice how he said his wife gave him a reality check. That's what real life partners do. Is her husband doing that?
Jamedra A Sidney is just fattening her up with lies, and deception for the kill. But that's a strong, independent black woman that chose a stray to be her "daddy".
he is not a stray. they have known each other since childhood.
Asha Rose he isn’t even talking about her situation with Netflix. He’s coming to the defense of his friend which he has every right to. Cuz she’s putting dirt on his name
Gary speaking Wisdom and Truth!!
Really want to ride for Monique but her failure to question/consider in all the situations openly aired what could I have contributed to this situation? Really is it all the others? Wish her well.
H BLUEBELL Wisdom and Truth?. Man this is too much.
Asha Rose I disagree. Just because someone is of a different race/ethnicity does not mean they are automatically disqualified (soley on that basis) of forming a fair and intelligent opinion. I am Black and do that agree with Monique on this situation... But I have others! The black community are split on this one. But let us agree to disagree where that occurs. Blesses to All.
H BLUEBELL You are 100% correct. Monique did a great job causing confusion with the race and feminism card. She needed a group of people to help fight for her movement and she chose race and feminism to throw shit on a wall and see what would stick and now she has different causes agitated and not realizing her bullshit. She's wrong to get these movements involved for her shit too but this is a business matter and that's it. She manipulated the system...😒
Robert Jones Again, don't change the narrative. Her issue is a green issue. Not black or white nor feminine. She basically isn't worth what she thinks she is. If she is, then prove it by selling out stadiums on her own comedy tour like Charlemagne suggested on Power 105.1. Her and her husband refused to make a counter offer or shop her "supposed worth" to alternative networks. They basically refused to get busy and handle their business. Instead they chose to bitch and moan to the public by getting in their feelings. Action is what's respected. Don't wanna hear another fucking sob story. Due diligence muthafucka ! I don't feel sorry for her fat ass.
JaVaughn McGregor How can't you be worth what you think you are.Thoughts are perceptions and anything you perceive is reality.That's first and foremost.
Second.Her resume and it's accolades speak for themsleves. She's obviously relevant to alot of people if she had a critically acclaimed movie in 2015( Bessie) and a hit movie and 2016 and a sold out comedy show in 2017.The problem with negros is your vision is limited.You don't know alot about the world or business and you only think something is relevant if you know about it.That limited view is why you will forever finish last.
When a future employer can't tell you the guidelines they're using to determine your salary.Then something fishy.What happened is, they overpaid for Chris, David and Amy and they were forced to raise subscriptions.They didn't want to loose anymore for their bottom line so they decided to low ball Monique and Wanda.Since I understand business becuase I went to school for it I comprehend their stance, but it's always the melanated man or woman that has to take one for the team.The majority of the time it's the melanated women.She's the most educated ethnic group in the U.S but the most inderpaid.
Now if you understand math and you understand business.Please expalin to me how the market determines value but a person( Monique) who is as equally popular but more infamous and controversial than their contemporary( Amy) is being offered 126 percent less to do the same job as their contemporary.
No logical business person can rationalize that and that's why it's a bunch of novice arguing about things they can't comprehend. A comedy show is a speaking engagement.It's no different than a motivational speaking conference, sit down interview, a one man tell all etc.The people who do these speaking tours whether it's comedy or otherwise get a salary that's complementary to the amount of attention their receiving.As I said, Monique has a long resume but she's currently in the public ear.She's on every national show because of the Netflix beef and she was infamous before that becuase of the Tyler, Oprah and Lee beef.That notoriety along with her comedic ability, movie talent,and the fans or noisy observers she will bring in from all walks guarantees her a salary that's not 126 percent less than her competitors. But as I said, Netflix thought she was desperate so they low balled her and they didnt even want to counter their offer becuase melanated women get the short end of the stick
The irony is, Monique and her beef with Netflix have kept their name in the public light more than any of those comedy shows.A good business person would renegotiate that contract becuase people will tune in becuase they want to cheer her on becuase of her plight, or they would want to see her fail.Either way they will tune in, because as they say in Hollywood.There's no such thing as bad publicity,becuase it's all publicity.Just ask the Kardashians.
I don't think she should apologize. She has the right to stand up for herself. I see no difference between her situation and a person going into an interview looking for 100K/yr based on their worth and being offered 50K. I also think she should handle her personal business away from social media. From what I've learned, this is messy. Handle yo bidness Queen. The real is: only you and the people involved KNOW what's going on. Good luck!
I would love to see a GARY OWEN’S special on Netflix - he is cray
Monique u heard what he said, it's a numbers game , ur resume does not count.
Asha Rose you are illiterate.. amy is currently very marketable, she is selling out major arenas, something Monique hasn't done but some club open mic specials.. it is pure business. This is not a white or black thing since dave Chappell and Chris rock both got more money than amy and rightfully so because they can make back the profits for netflix.. they aren't going to invest in you if you aren't going to guarantee returns..
Asha Rose trump says he has degrees as well 😉
U make no sense listen to the debate they r bringing up Amy, chappelle n rocks resume. So y doesn’t hers matter n chappelle just came back into entertainment biz.
KimKelli you know the difference between them and MOE is ?? Just want to have a convo about this
Black Frosty Gaming I see none. N also keep hearing how rude she has been, listen to a whole list of people who would not work with her only after she began to start talking about what was bothering her
he has a fine black wifeso nope cant pull the race card on him he a real one
i.have.a.brain brown So he a real one because he had a black wife? Wow
Get your delusional ass outta here.
His wife is biracial
Pull over! it's da popo's! Really?
Which makes him of the "I have black people in my life" whites....that's ALL
Gary is so real, all these people keep telling Mo'Nique the same thing but she never listen, she needs to be humble , and learn stop being the only star that she think is important, get out of her own way
Absolutely love Gary!
Gary Owens is Awesome!!!
I LOVE Gary!! He should have a Netflix special!
He said what he said.
alamoja and you ate it up😀
Good interview. Tigger looked tired and sleepy, though.
lisa d how is it good if he looked tired?
D.E.P H MC. I enjoyed Gary.
This cat been on every radio station in America.
Gary Owens speaking fact! Period!
As funny as Gary is he gets told no she got a offer for 500 000 even Gary white privilege didn't help him Get one
Thanku Gary Owens for clearing this up it's a numbers game who is going to bring in the most profit, he just said Tiffany Haddish does a comedy special she will get two million, a black woman, more than he would because it's a number game.
Abdu Robinson please explain, how does netflix PROFIT from the specials? Keep in mind that members pay for netflix in totality not for individual shows! If you cant explain that, than you need to sit yo fake business analysis ass down!
half urban half suburban Gary did say that there are other ways to go, Netflix is not ur only option, I don't understand why is it so hard for Monique to understand this, she keeps harping on Netflix. Gary said Netflix turned him down and he's a white man. So he decided to go to show time. It's not like Netflix is ur only way to go.
Abdu Robinson i agree that netflix is not the only way to go but when black people are paying for membership than they should have to answer to us why are you paying black women less, but we dont value ourselves enough to do so. Instead we attack Monique because we personally dislike her. Netflix doesnt pay us we pay them.
Gary should be embarrassed to even mention the fact that he was turned down in comparison to Monique!
Asha Rose that is the ultimate self-hate. I hope it changes?
Tigga is a typical interviewer that goes along for a check.
You mean like sway?
VaultOfTerror why you say he half a homo? that a new one...Always thought Tigga was sleeping with every female rapper
Cupcake95 N.J.S tigger been on the downlow for years anyway soft nigga
dirk diggler Always heard he & superhead she claim they were fukkin each other & head dated Keisha Knight Pulluin...aka Rudy Huxtable
Stand up for what? Monique?
Somebody please tell me what track is that playing at 5:37. I know I know it. What is it?
Some people don't want to hear the truth they can't handle it don't matter if you got money or rich or famous ect....some people can't handle the truth. Gary keep doing your thing. You hot right now and definitely funny also you are a great person. God bless you
Keep glowing and blowing up making that money. You go boy.keep shining and don't worry about the haters
You guys are great love the convo
what's song playing at 6:00 mins, in the backround????
Gary, I really gotta respect what you’ve said as it relates to Monique, particularly since I’m one of a few who can relate to what Monique has said about Netflix. However, I still support my sister Monique.
Be Blessed,
KDK
Gary Owen is a smart cat, and very business savvy. He broke the Monique's Netflix situation perfectly.
I love that he broke down the issue so clearly, especially using him verses Tiffany Haddish and also showing what he did when he was rejected or didnt receive what he thought he should have. People aren't seeing THAT is the premise of every conversation, how she handled it period. It is an issue Mo'nique no doubt should have handled better but she will not admit she handled it wrong. How can these people she trashed become willing to give their hard earned money to someone who completely trashed them publicly? No one in this comment section would even consider it.You cant trash a person publicly and then think later they will open their wallet to you, period. They never publicly shamed or defamed her, she did it herself, because if they had wrongfully said she was difficult (defamation) that caused her to loose work she would be able to sue every last one of them.
I like Gary Owen he’s entertaining. That’s MY opinion. I know people get so damn serious about these comments. Don’t die people don’t die!
Just because "Will Packer" is Gary's good friend, doesn't mean Will is exempt from doing someone dirty. Gary doesn't know his friend's every action!
I've always enjoyed Gary's comedy but I see what kind of man he is. Good dude. Good heart. And funny af♥️
For those that are pro-Monique, I advise you to actually do the research. Most people are only listening to Monique's side of the story. I have listened to Monique's side, and I have researched what other's in the industry are saying about her, and it is my conclusion that she isn't being completely honest about why she cannot get paid what she think she is worth and/or get movie projects.
La Marr Donaldson watching RUclips videos is not research. You don’t know what you are talking about. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that your used to.
all monique had to do was PLAY THE GAME and promote the movie....just be a team player and the offers would come in if you're worth it.
Whats dat beat at 9:46?
Gary Really Broke it Down! I understand it now! It’s called supply & demand! The number game! Much Respect!
this interview is the best ive seen in a long time Lmao i need a inhaler now
Love you Gary.
You should be doing movies regularly. You is funny!
I was drinking coffee from the gas station!! Gary's crazy!!!😂🤣😆
On point!
Gary is not wrong...
Yeah Gary where is your voice when it comes to black inequality?
djkoolrod that's what I been wondering
djkoolrod I'm sure he's very aware of black inequality, because his wife black with black children....don't get it twisted bruh...he be on Tom Joyner morning show
thetvzone biracial children. Get that right.
No where to be FOUND.
U sound dumb my guy!! Having a blac wife and biracial kids with a blac women who obviously he is submissive to is enough. Cut the BS. WHAT HAVE U DONE LATELY BESIDES BEING BLACC!?!?!? 🤔🤔
That's great that he sent that child to school. Thanks for sharing that.
Where did he speak ill of Monique?
Gary Owens our brother. The only white comedian/actor that white people don't know. When they come for you Gary (and they will) don't forget your people. We got you.
I love Gary . he is that dude . much love . Monique needs to be humble & get her life . she burning alotta bridges & probably lowering her worth responding to every single person who opposes her . she may need them... no one is gonna work with her ever !!
LOVE GARY OWEN, CASE CLOSED.
"Just say sorry???"...Sorry for what? Funny how people(white and black) in Hollywood or any higher up position always try to convince individuals to just apologize. As if Monquie was to put out a public apology Netflix would just miraculously give her a 2 million dollar special. As if Oprah would do an interview with her or a movie. For those who are not in Hollywood, if you were to ask your boss or the CEO of the company you work for, for a raise, based on work experience, work ethic, production, seniority, attendance, and performance right. He or she declines, you share your frustrations, and how you disagree with their decision(being respectful and professional). A week later, you go and apologize for asking for the raise for whatever reason. Do you think that CEO will give you that raise for saying you are sorry???...Picture that
👈agree👽✌
But they are not her boss. They're a business. They're investors. They put their money where they feel there will be a return. So if you want to prove them wrong, do it independently. If it's successful they'll come knocking.
Jamedra A.....And she is successful and always been....son what's your point?
loyaltyfamilyfirst 1. Not a point a question. 2. Didn't say she hasn't accomplished things but obviously she wants more. & if one avenue isn't working try another. Do it independently; because if getting on youtube & calling people out was was working well, she wouldn't be calling for a boycott. Is she being conscious of all the Black actors appearing on Netflix projects?
Jamedra A....1. You never used a question mark in your statement so I didn't know you were asking a question. 2. Monique has done it independently on a few platforms, two on Netflix to be exact. 3. You also have to remember, when discussing these investor's and saying "find another avenue", she didn't go to Netflix, Netflix approached her, and that's the difference people seem to ignore. 3. She's not being conscious for Black actors, she is unveiling the agenda towards black and female comedians, which is a difference. Now has Mo been on the scene like Chappele as of lately, no. However, Monique has accomplished just about EVERYTHING a comedian would want to capitalize or accomplish in their career, especially being a minority and a woman. She is a Queen of Comedy, and if networks won't respect your throne, she has a right to decline & expose. She earned that right through her years of work. Monique does not have to apologize for anything when it comes to stating her worth as a black woman comedy.
Nicely & honestly put Gary..... Entertainment is just a temp job
Hes right. If you think everybody doing you wrong then you need to check yourself.... Its you
Gary is funny. He said probably what many are feeling but don't say out loud. I am tired at this point of Monique. Her husband is the reason her Hollywood worth is not as high as she thinks it should be or that people don't want to work with him
Ppl have been saying whatever they want about Monique. No one have been holding back. Most Black ppl just love getting validation from white ppl. Once the white man say it ....now GOD has spoken!! FOH! Gary should worry about his Mexican kids and black wife. Ijs Mama babies... Papas maybe??!! 🤷🏽♀️
Kumtekmeon 💯
Chanelle Jones but even black people been saying the same about her. So the white man say something now it's a race thing. Good thing he has a black Wife or they'll say he's racist that's why he came at her.
WOW! She went to Gary's family like it ain't shit. Why wouldn't he stick up for his own family wow that was ignorant for her to say
I like what Gary Owens said.
Gary need to comes to to cali
Star Angel we dont want that white boy here.
💯 Gary for helping the homeless kid
gary right
he kool
"I'm like Morgan Freeman in Shawshank, I just go in and they always say no".
If that was off the cuff, that's a great fuckin joke. People don't give this guy enough credit for his comedic talents.
my grandma worked at capital universe for 23 years!! Go Bucks!!
Why does Klie Jenner have over 100M followers?
overpowerradio kids love fake folks so lol to see the followers & they follow FAKENESS!!
His face when he realized Gary was talking about sending a kid to college that wasnt his own
I love Gary Owen!!!💝💝
This dude has always been funny.
IDC IDC GARY IS ALL OUR BROTHER FROM A DIFFERENT MOTHER WITH A WHOLE DIFFERENT COLOR. HE CAN GET AWAY WITH WHAT NO OTHER CAN...BECAUSE HE GOT #RESPECT
Preach and I did a video on this too. 10:38
If your boss tells you in order to get to the big bucks you have to do xyz. So you do your part, doing what is asked of you, constantly taking low offers just to feed your family even though you know you should be getting paid more. But you put your pride aside for the greater good. You then reach that point where you’ve arrived now & its your time to receive the big bucks that you’ve been working so hard to get. Only to have the same ppl that used you, tell you that all that work you put in now means nothing? How would you feel? Are you going to just walk away & allow the next person to do the same thing? At what point do we say enough is enough? She’s not alone because ppl like myself that work regular 9-5 are experiencing the same thing she is talking about. No one person has yet to come up with valid reasons as to why she shouldn’t speak up but everyone keeps saying she should just shutup & apologize(kiss ass). Yall just proving her point about mf’s being too scared to stand up for something. You might not like her approach but she is right.
