Niecy is still struggling after being assaulted by police.

During a traffic stop in Season 3, Niecy was tasered by a police officer right in front of her children.When we pick back up with the family in Atlanta, her father, Patrick, is trying to write a statement on behalf of Niecy for the media. He does so in the wake of news that the officer who assaulted Niecy would be returning to work. He’s writing it in place of MJ, who was taking on such responsibilities before leaving for New York. When he asks Niecy to read over the statement, she says that she doesn’t want to relive the harrowing experience. And while others are worried about cash settlements (like her baby daddy), she just wants to move forward while feeling like everyone wants her to keep reliving the incident.

It takes Patrick’s letter, which her grandparent’s force her to hear him read out loud, that helps Niecy. In it, he opens up about his own missteps as a father to Niecy before addressing the need for justice for his daughter. It’s what Niecy has been waiting to hear for years, and comes right on time.
