Associated Press, Mo’Nique said, “I just want the contractual compensation that I’ve earned.”Mo’Nique’s hit show “The Parkers,” was a spin-off of the sitcom “Moesha.” The show ran for five seasons and 110 episodes on now-defunct network UPN from 1999 to 2004. The Oscar-winning actress starred as Nikki Parker, a mother who returns to the same college her daughter is attending.
This isn’t the first time the actress has been involved in a lawsuit. Mo’Nique sued Netflix for race and sex discrimination in its offer for a proposed comedy special.
She accused the streamer for trying to low-ball her and said it was part a trend Netflix would actively underpay Black women. That lawsuit was settled last year and now Mo’Nique has a comedy special “My Name Is Mo’Nique” which currently airs on the streamer.
“Mo’Nique is not shy about taking on these David vs. Goliath battles in Hollywood to challenge these questionable practices that are endemic to the industry,” David deRubertis, one of her attorneys in both lawsuits, said in a statement.Pamela Chelin contributed to this report

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Mo’Nique has filed a lawsuit alleging that Paramount and CBS owe her millions in profit participation from her show “The Parkers.” The show ran for five seasons on UPN, from 1999 through 2004. The show’s creators — Ralph Farquhar, Sara Finney-Johnson and Vida Spears — filed a similar lawsuit last June, alleging that CBS had engaged in various forms of “financial malfeasance” to artificially inflate expenses and suppress profit payments. The network settled that case out of court in November. Mo’Nique, whose legal name is Monique Hicks, filed her own suit on Wednesday, repeating many of the claims in the show creators’ lawsuit.
