“Series’ writers and creators performed a forensic audit that this forensic audit of the Series’ books and records strongly suggested that (CBS, Big Ticket) have inequitably structured the Series’ finances to artificially depress its profitability and retain millions that would otherwise be contractually due,” according to the lawsuit.
Basically, the lawsuit is saying after filming 100 episodes and Netflix streaming the series in its entirety, that the show has been a “major financial success” for its producers and distributors. However, the claim is that success has been directed towards the producers and distributors — but the talent “has not been permitted to share in the fruits of that success.”
Mo’Nique hasn’t put a dollar amount on how much she is owed but has asked the judge to step in and force a decision.
