Paula Jai Parker believes she's been blackballed after choosing to marry the bus driver instead of a bus owner

3 pages and can’t nobody name an actual memorable role she’s had…to be fair someone did say she was good on wayans bros but I completely forgot she was on the show

None, she was never that big of an actress
Even in Black Hollywood terms
She was always in supporting roles

This sister has had all kind of demons dealing with addiction and other things. Her issue is not because of who she married it is because of what she’s done.

Nothing wrong with accepting accountability or forcing a person to understand their own frailty.

I don’t know how but I somehow ended up being a fan of her and kind of following her from show to show and for a period there she was unhinged.

Her line saying don't pull the hair (wig) in 'Sprung' stays in my memory banks.

Sprung (1997, trailer) [Tisha Campbell-Martin, Rusty Cundieff, Paula Jai, ParkerJoe Torry]​

Sad to see her family living out of a hotel.

But this sounds more like bad financial decisions than blackballing.

slow acting work + a blue collar man's salary can have you homeless in the hollywood real estate market without any bad decisions

Her role on Friday was totally different then her role on Wayans Bros.

Dawg Cmon. She was in maybe 8 episodes on Wayans Bros.

There was nothing in depth about that character at all

 

[Jaylen Tatum]

Guarantee that twitter account is not black owned

Knock it off brehs. That ain’t stop Loretta Devine or the Grandma from Grownish

With as many streaming apps/services there are nowadays there’s no reason she couldn’t have had a role in one of 50’s shows or something on BET+ just off name alone.

Loretta Devine can really act and Jenifer Lewis legit funny.

Paula Jai ain't that great of an actress and other younger actresses came up

 

[Heafcliffe]

She was lowkey blaming ole boy.
