This is an astonishing reunion. Previously, the well-known comedian sued Netflix, alleging that it underpays black women in a discriminatory manner. This past June, Mo’Nique’s attorney told the Hollywood Reporter that “the matter has been amicably resolved.” The message sent by Netflix today perfectly shows that Mo’Nique and Netflix have reached their total reconciliation. In the video, Mo’Nique ecstatically announced her return: “Can y’all believe this sh–! I done came on home to Netflix!”

Fans took to Twitter to congratulate the award winning actress and supported her decision to have this “crazy” reunion.

I’m so glad I ALWAYS stood by Monique’s side! I love it when Black People stand up for what THEY are worth & don’t back down bec of public backlash!!

You won’t want to miss either of them, so stay tuned! Thank you all and I love y’all to life!”
