This week pop culture journalist Jawn Murray reported Netflix initially offered Mo'Nique $3 million for a comedy special if she auditioned or $500k sight unseen [click here if you missed that].
Mo'Nique's husband / manager denies the reports.
Yesterday Sidney Hicks told the Tom Joyner Morning Show,
"No, no one would promise you what they’re going to give you, prior too, based upon the condition of what you’ve done...I would be interested to know how Jawn Murray knows a deal better than we do…To answer your question no.”
