She says they only paid her $50k but she got 5% on the backend, she accepted it because it was an independent flick by Lee Daniels. It hits Sundance, gets rave reviews, and Oprah and Tyler Perry get involved and start putting the film in the circuit. Monique refused to travel for marketing because she was not under contract. Tyler Perry tried to talk her into campaigning outside of contract and without pay but she refused. Tyler Perry began to tell other people that she was difficult to work with and helped to black ball her.
Tyler Perry called her years down the line and said "What I did to you was wrong".
This is messed up situation and everyone should be ashamed of themselves for doing Mo'Nique like that.
