Netflix has settled a potentially precedent-setting lawsuit from Mo'Nique in a case that could have found that the streamer retaliated against the comedian by refusing to engage in good faith negotiations after being accused of discrimination for opening with a low-ball offer.

Both sides on Tuesday moved to dismiss the suit, according to a court filing. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

Netflix in 2017 started to court Mo'Nique for a comedy special during a time it was aggressively ramping-up its stand-up content, the complaint says. The negotiations, however, didn't get far because the Oscar-winning actress did not agree to what she considered a low opening offer of $500,000 for a one-hour show that Netflix would have complete control over, including owning the copyright and retaining all audio-only rights to the special. She protested the offer as discriminatory, leading to Netflix walking away from negotiations.

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

Ggggggrr

i wonder how much they paid goddess
!!

Normally these types of lawsuits should be private but since she did it for "black women" and not just herself, she should disclose..

I know it says they reached a settlement 
but does that always mean money was paid out? Because it's looking like they just parted ways and dismissed the case. Doesn't even say they "gave an undisclosed sum"

Probably to just get this over with, no shade. Costs them nothing to get her to be quiet. After what she said about DL hughleys daughter being molested, I'm through with her.
