What Ever Happened to Oscar Winning Actress Mo'Nique for Best Supporting Actress of 2010?

It's been 5 years since actress and comedienne Mo'Nique won her Best Supporting Actress  Oscar for 2010. Well Yahoo had an article and in it. Mo'Nique claims she was blackballed for not playing the game right. She didn't attend very many parties prior to the Oscar telecast and she failed to campaign for the award. She won anyway, but hasn't worked very much since winning. In the article, Lee Daniels says that he had called Mo'Nique and told her she had been blackballed. Lee also said that  “Your husband is outbidding you.”Mo'Niques' husband is manager. Lever told Mo'Nique what salary her husband was asking for, but it must have been too much. Normally when an actor/actress wins an Oscar, their salary goes up substantially. If you were getting say, $1to $3million b4 winning an oscar you usually can get $5 to $10 million afterwards. Jennifer Lawrence who won the Best Supporting Actress for 2014 was making around $1million for the first Hunger Games but was paid $10 million for he 2nd one after she won her Oscar.

What I think happened with Mo'Nique and her husband, Sidney Hicks, is that after she won they just expected to get a lot of offers and they decided b4 hand that she was worth X amount of dollars now that she was an Academy Award Winning Actress. I think they priced her out of the market. She needs to stop being greedy and accept the salary she is offered when people like Lee Daniels calls her for a job. Like he did when he called her to do Empire, his new hit TV show for Fox. I was teasing my friend Gladys about him hiring every black actor on the planet and I told her to be ready for when Lee calls her and me for work. LOL Mo'Nique has let her Oscar go to her head!!! She's turned into a Bridezilla/Diva when it comes to her salary demands and etc. That's why she was blackballed and is not working. Look at Gabourey Sidibe, she was also nominated for Best Actress for the film "Precious" in 2009. She didn't win, but she has worked consistently since then. She didn't let the fact that she was up for an Academy Award go to her head and start making diva demands on salary. Otherwise, I think she would not be working, just like Mo'Nique. Hey Mo'Nique, gurl, get it together and stop being a diva otherwise you will be broke and off our silver screens and TV screens. Damnit!!! I know you can make a comeback!!! Just DO IT!!!
