Taraji P Henson Wants To Put The Focus Back On The Color Purple Following Her Comments About Unequal Pay

[Umoja]

I hope they don't believe her comments had anything to do with the film flopping.

The movie flopped because nobody wanted that gender war agenda bullshyt.

Her comments didn't help.

Because of her fat mouth, when people thought of The Colour Purple, the first thing they thought about was the pay gap.

It pretty much killed any chance of getting a good buzz. People praising certain performances and then gaining interest.

She cooked herself.

I'm , the first thing I thought of was the original movie which was polarizing to say the least. Same for many people.

This musical remake only appeals to a certain type of woman.

This is getting tiresome she is worth millions of dollars living in a house the average person can never even dream off, yet she is still whining and crying all the time, if i see two meals a day i am grateful and thats real talk, most days i get by one meal a day, most folks are struggling stop this bs

I swear the coli was praising her for speaking up now she’s a fool on here

Coli like that chick on the phone from the boondocks— Keeps giving her horrible advice on how to date grandad just to blow herself up in the car

Maybe she thought voicing her struggle would cause people to rally around her and see the movie.

Taraji is just the (((((((escape goat ))))))))for that movies bad performance

Why would it do that?

All it did was make people get pissed at the people behind the scenes, including Oprah, making that the focus of any discussion related to the movie.

Might be in the minority but I never thought taraji was a great actress to begin with … there is way better black female actress that are not complaining Angela Bassett for 1

 

[Wiseborn]

She might get blackballed too

what do mean might? She was supposed to be promoting the film she embrassed Oprah to the point she had to respond to a tik toker, Used to promote her personal issues made the whole production team look cheap even low key dissed the broadway play that the movie was directly based on.

She's beyond done.

One reason Viv pushed back against her is that Viv understands that she's 59 years old and Tubi movies and bad parody films is all that's left ffor her.

That's where Taraji is gonna be in 5 years but even they don't need to hire her when they could easily get someone like the ladies that played Aunt Viv on the Fresh Prince at least they know how to keep their mouths shut.

You think her PR person and the PR team of the movie didn't point this out to her?

True but Angela, Phylicia, and Viola cant play in everything but yeah she really fukked up her bag.

I'm glad that shyt flopped like a suffocating fish. They wanna lean into the gender war shyt and push all that alphabet shyt. They better realize the ppl with the most disposable income right now is Gen X and they should know who we are. Meaning by and large we ain't really on that type of time.

 

[Da King]

She’s a great actor she’ll be fine.

No one wanting to dap this

She is, but unfortunately she made herself an easy target with her comments.
