Viola Davis Admits She Judged Chadwick Boseman on Film Set, Didn't Know He Had Cancer

I understand telling her to keep that to herself, but I think that situation in general is a lessen in relaxing your judgement, something we can all use a reminder of from time to time. Holding yourself accountable for something as you encourage others to do better is good leadership IMO.

Why would a person bring this up?

Accountability, a teachable moment, being an example to check one’s self.

 

[ALonelyDad]

I'm convinced nobody has self or social awareness anymore

The ego is so big that they think they come out looking better when they reveal stuff like this

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Considering the public clowned and ridiculed his appearance before death I'd just take this as a teachable moment for everyone. Truth is we all kind of failed Chadwick and we should learn not to judge because we don't know what people are going through.

Put all those years into your career, played all those roles and you’ve never been fawned over the way he was. It was hate to begin with. Cac star actors get that same treatment on set and none of these black actors never publicly came out and said anything of the sort. Stop excusing the sentiment because they’re apologetic. Everyone wasn’t making fun of Chadwick, especially anyone in the medical field. Same way I knew something was wrong with Virgil when I seen him with his eyebrows shaved off of at that red carpet event before he died. Once again she’s lame as fukk!​

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Some of y’all are waking up to the fact that there are certain people who don’t see black men being worthy of being pampered/dote on, in any capacity.

 

[Da King]

People like her bother me. If someone is doing their job and not bothering you or disrupting the flow of work, why do you care? Why are you bothered? Why is the music he’s listening to of any concern to you if it’s not full of curses or offensive?

Because she was jealous she wasn’t the one getting all the attention, stupid bytch telling on herself

This is why you do not take the antics of the Entertainment class seriously. Instead of looking up to them, just enjoy what good work they do in entertaining you and then keep it moving.

Imagine you and a co-worker do the same job, except your co-worker is constantly taking breaks, gets massages, and takes extra long lunches. ALOT of people are going to give that person the side-eye

Most of yall probably judge a co-worker for calling out 2 Mondays in a row. The coli literally judges people from an article or a 30 second reel everyday But she shoulda kept this to herself, she's a hater, she wants attention? So what does that make some of yall?

Even in this thread guys are trying to speak on the "real reason" (which they can't verify with anything but their own emotions) she mentioned this when they know nothing about her as a person or her potential intentions. Is that not judgment and jumping to conclusions without full context? Some you guys need to look in the mirror and take some self inventory.

She’s lame as fukk! Tells you a lot about her general demeanor and disposition.

Put all those years into your career, played all those roles and you’ve never been fawned over the way he was. It was hate to begin with. Cac star actors get that same treatment on set and none of these black actors never publicly came out and said anything of the sort. Stop excusing the sentiment because they’re apologetic.

Did those white actors die? That’s the difference fukking retard

 

[Ziggiy]

Telling this is a mistake.
Some things you should keep to yourself

Clark Peters said the exact same thing when he worked with Chadwick on Da 5 Bloods. He broke down in tears talking about how he prejudged Chadwick because his team was giving him back rubs and massages and he had no idea that he was suffering so much.

 

[R=G]

Viola stay doing a bit too much at times. Literally 0 reason to share except wanting to look suspect.

Or maybe not being intelligent. You'll never catch Natalie Portman playing herself. That's for damn sure.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Sounds like she’s admitting it to signal the correction she needed to make about herself.


This could be bw hating on a bm just because… lets not forget we are in a crab culture/society that was created that way. For us to be our biggest haters and critics.

So I don’t blame her.. especially if others have said the same thing.


The only real lesson here is thats why you don’t judge a book by it’s cover. She didn’t need to say this but good that she now knows why he was getting pampered like that knowing he didn’t have long to live. And she publicly addressed it and apologized for it.

She DIDN'T know he was sick

It's clear whatever Chadwick needed for his sickness was 'unusual' for a set. There are number of actors who have now mentioned this. No reason to get upset Viola for also saying it.

Imagine you and a co-worker do the same job, except your co-worker is constantly taking breaks, gets massages, and takes extra long lunches. ALOT of people are going to give that person the side-eye

Nobody knew he was sick ... and it sucks that making it that far in Hollywood meant being trapped in a gilded cage ... it meant the only way to keep things somewhat private meant to tell no one at all, which lead to all the judging. If he told anyone, you know TMZ and the gossip blogs were going to be offering up cash for information. There were no good options.
