Can you guys believe this s—? The “Precious” actress made two jokes before sharing the good news.
She smiled and continued, “I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be shooting my first Netflix special, as well as reconnecting with my buddy, director Lee Daniels on the Netflix film ‘The Deliverance.'”

August will see the filming of her comedy special in Atlanta.
Meanwhile, her latest collaboration with Daniels comes just three months after the director and the Oscar-winning actress who co-starred with Daniels in the 2009 film “Precious” reconciled after a protracted argument. At a gathering in New York City in early April, Daniels apologized to the comic, saying, “I am so sorry for hurting you in whatever manner that I did.”
Because she believed she had been “blackballed” in Hollywood for choosing not to “campaign” for accolades prior to the 2010 awards season, Mo’Nique had previously criticized Daniels.
