In a major move, Mo’Nique has teamed up with Netflix for her very own stand-up comedy special on the streamer.
Full story below…
As many will recall, the comedienne made headlines the world over when she took on the media giant over stalled negotiations for a special.
For years, Mo’Nique did not hold back when quizzed on the topic and polarized the public with her words.
Now, with that drama in rearview after being settled earlier this year, both parties are moving forward…together.
Arriving on the heels of news of her upcoming Netflix movie, ‘The Deliverance,’ with Lee Daniels, it was announced today that the Oscar and Golden Globe award-winning star will film her first Netflix original stand-up comedy special later this year in Atlanta.
Speaking on the partnership, Mo said:
“Hey y’all it’s your girl Mo’Nique and I’m excited to say that I’ll be shooting my first Netflix special; in addition to reuniting with my friend, Director Lee Daniels on the Netflix film The Deliverance. You won’t want to miss either of them, so stay tuned! Thank you all and I love y’all to life!”

Won’t He do it! Amazing news.
![Stream: 'Mufasa: The Lion King [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]'](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/mufasa-movie-soundtrack-tgj-1-464x260.png "Stream: 'Mufasa: The Lion King [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]'.")
I guess this was part of the settlement to shut her up. The special better be good after throwing a fit for years. They probably paid her $550k as opposed to $500k lol.
do you have 550k in the bank?
Not even a pot to p*** in.
Good for her! Will be watching!
Ah, finally her husband will see a check!
What will her act be about now that she’s friends again with Lee (who’ll beg her not to dog Oprah and Tyler)? Because “skinny gurls oughtta be destroyed, baybay!” is so early 00s and blasphemous in social media times. Will she tackle blacks dying first in film like she did in Montréal? Or is it gon’ be about holding back farts on a car ride home from a date? Ooop. . .did I just sum up her ENTIRE catalog?
I will never watch anything that she has to do with. She has shown herself to be unworthy of Fame and Fortune. After what she did to deal hughley’s daughter. She is showing herself to be a very venomous person. No more Monique for me
