Mo'Nique accuses Netflix of gender and race pay gaps
Pay gaps in the entertainment industry might not be limited to conventional productions. Actress and comedienne Mo'Nique has called for a boycott against Netflix after accusing the service of gender- and race-based pay gaps. It reportedly offered Mo'Nique $500,000 for a comedy special where Amy Schumer was offered $11 million (negotiated up to $13 million) and Dave Chappelle was offered $20 million. Mo'Nique said she challenged Netflix on the gap, but received contradictory answers -- while the service claimed "we don't go off resumés" when justifying her pay, it reportedly defended Schumer's revenue by citing her experience.
