ATLANTA — Duluth resident and stand-up comic Mo'Nique has settled a 2019 discrimination lawsuit with Netflix where she argued she was given a low-ball offer by the streaming service in 2017 in part because she is a Black woman.
The Hollywood Reporter said both sides Tuesday moved to dismiss the suit, according to a court filing. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. "The matter has been amicably resolved," Mo'Nique's attorney Michael W. Parks said in a statement provided to the publication. Netflix has not commented.
In her initial lawsuit, Mo'Nique said Netflix first offered her $500,000 for a one-hour special in which Netflix owned all rights to the content. She rejected it and once she publicized the issue, Netflix walked away from negotiations.
