Mo’Nique Netflix Comedy Special “My Name Is Mo’Nique” Trailer Released
Mo’Nique Netflix comedy special is on the way.
Netflix releases a trailer for the upcoming show via YouTube.
You can see the trailer below.
Mo’Nique has been in the game for 32 years, and she is grateful for the gift of being funny.
The title of the special is “My Name Is Mo’Nique“.
So why did she name it that way?
This is her explanation for the title of the show –
“Why did I title this special ‘My Name Is Mo’Nique?‘ After seventy-two minutes y’all gonna know why…”
While showing behind-the-scenes footage, she adds –
“Y’all might say, ‘Damn, we didn’t know we were going to find out all of that!’ This one right here is personal. This one right here — when you walk away from this one, when you turn your TV off from this one, you’ll say, ‘Now we understand that woman.’”
This special comes after a battle with the streaming platform.
The 55-year-old comedian/actress actually sued the giant for “systematically underpaying” Black women.
Originally, Netflix offered Mo $500,000 for a one-hour special.
Additionally, had she signed that deal, they would retain 100% control, including ownership of copyrights and audio.
According to Mo’Nique, this deal was inferior to what her male and while women peers were offered.
So she sued.
After filing her lawsuit, the courts sided with the BMF star.
Netflix eventually settled the case.
Now the Queen of Comedy is preparing herself for the premiere on the very platform she fought tooth and nail with.
“This show right here really allows you to understand why I swing like I swing. There are things that I’m going to say in this comedy special that I thought I would take to my grave, that they were mine. They were my thoughts. They were my secrets. It was just mine. Before I was just focused on being funny. Now I feel like I have something to say.” – Mo’Nique
