Marvel has had a history with trying to screw people out of their money, and this wasn't an exception. They lowballed Favreau and definitely dragged their feet when it came to giving him what he wanted.
From what I've read, he wanted 1% of the gross, which is what Marvel wanted when they decided it was time to create their own studio.

I don't know the details of the prior deal (I heard it was only $4 million plus a percentage), but she is referring to him going to the Internet to 'negotiate'.
She's a Hollywood/Entertainment reporter/blogger so she sees things as they are done in Hollywood. She probably has no knowledge of Marvel's treatment of talent in the comic book world.
While I don't think what he did warrants being called an ass, I do think he wasn't right in the way he handled things. I am happy that he will be back.
