Mo’Nique, a talented comedian and actress, has been vocal about her frustrations with Hollywood. In a recent interview on Club Shay Shay, she addressed an incident involving Charlamagne labeling her the “donkey of the day” on his radio show. The reason? Mo’Nique declined a $500,000 offer to do a Netflix special, citing that comedians like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle received seven-figure payouts for their specials, and she deserves similar recognition. Her stance highlights the disparities in pay and respect within the entertainment industry.
For her refusal, Charlamagne labled her ‘donkey of the day’.
In a recent video, Charlamagne used his platform to formally apologize for his part in disparaging her, stating “I should have minded my black-owned business.”
