Mo’Nique is fearless when it comes to her coins. She is now suing Paramount Pictures and CBS TV Studios after previously suing Netflix.
According to Deadline, Mo’Nique accuses the defendants of not sharing “The Parkers” sitcom revenue with performers. “Today we filed a lawsuit to make sure that we are fairly paid [the] money that we are owed for The Parkers,” wrote Mo’Nique on Instagram.
“Actors rely on the good faith of Hollywood companies to honor their profit participation agreements. The Parkers was a huge success and continues to be a source of revenue through syndication and streaming channels.” Mo’Nique continued saying,“The executive producers of The Parkers took legal action for the same concerns that I have, and they’ve already settled.”
She added, “To further make my point, the Executive Producers of ‘The Parkers’ took legal action for the same concerns that I have, and they’ve already settled. Unfortunately, all too often, talent gets kept in the dark. We’re looking forward to shedding some light on the subject! I LOVE US 4REAL!!”
Her comedy special Mo’Nique: My Name Is Mo’Nique is available on Netflix.
