The casting directors, directors, and producers should feel like idiots. I don’t understand why people keep doing this and expecting there to be anything but backlash.

Very happy for them taking action! Random, and I want to preface this by saying I actually really like her as an actress, but I’m glad Zoe Saldana didn’t sign this.
The irony would be too much for me after that Nina Simone movie
Wow shoutout to Xochitl Gomez for being the one to get this going. It’s definitely not easy being young and doing something like this. She’s a force for good in Hollywood, hope she gets far!

Now I’m wondering if Odessa dropped out yesterday because she knew this was coming.
Its one thing to have random people on the Internet calling you out, it’s a totally different beast when it’s a hundred of your own peers.

Also… Ariela Barer is right there. This role was literally made for her. Or her sister Libe, who also is an actor.

It is so frustrating to see filmbros say that people were making a big deal over Odessa’s casting. It very obviously matters especially with her “new look” but they need to protect their white girl of the year I guess.
