Wanda Sykes on finally agreeing to a Netflix standup special: "They moved that comma"

Variety

Last year, Sykes spoke out in support of Mo'Nique, who accused Netflix of low-balling her. Sykes acknowledged she also rejected the streaming service due to what she felt was low pay. But Sykes now has a Netflix special coming out, Wanda Sykes: Not Normal, on May 21. What changed her mind? “They moved that comma,” she said to Variety. “I had to step up and say something,” Sykes said of lending her support to Mo’Nique. “I also felt I was low-balled.”
