Comedian's gender discrimination suit against Netflix moved to federal court
In a complaint filed last month, Mo’nique claimed the $500,000 she was offered by the streaming service for a comedy special was evidence of a longstanding pay inequity for black workers, particularly for women.
If Mo'Nique wants to keep her stand-up salary scuffle with Netflix Inc. streaming on, she'll have to do it in the Central District of California.
Likely seeing it as the more favorable venue for winning a pre-trial dismissal, the company won its bid to have a pay discrimination lawsuit filed by the comedienne and actress, whose real name is Monique Hicks, moved from Los Angeles County Superior Court Tuesday.
