Oprah is ANNOYED with Taraji P Henson drama | Gabrielle Union SHADES Vivica Fox | Color Purple DRAMA 

Exactly

You will be surprised how many people never seen the original.

Girl frfr DAMN

I thought it was just me. I totally agree with you. Leave the classics alone.

it's trauma p0rn. Why can't we have movies with blac9k people, where blac9k people aren't ALWAYS suffering or part of 'the COMMUNITY"?🙄😒

Exactly 💯💯

She was just starting out!!! She didn’t have anything under her belt. And Monique did more than speak up…she burned bridges while she was standing on them. Its not fair to ask ppl to take that kind of risk

@@itsabovemenow Monique didn’t burn bridges she was blackballed for speaking about no pay and Oprah interviewed her abusive brother. Taraji was already 10 years into her career when this happened and never once spoke up for Monique. Now her career will face the same struggles Monique’s did for speaking out.

@@user-ci2sy5jb2jmore like 15-20 years

Exactly and I ain’t mad I hateeeee Oprah 😂😂

Yes, I think that when someone does come up with a good idea, there's no money for it in Hollywood. As a true "minority in numbers" here in the U.S. they see us as not having the cash. But we have it for everything else.

I agree now if they do "For Colored A girls" as a musical ima be real upset😮😮🤯

And now I know why I was soooo into the early 2000's culture when I was in my teens. I couldn't see life getting any better in terms of the vibe, the arts and entertainment. People who knew me probably thought I was 'off' but now everyone can see that from the 2010's up to now, this ain't really it entertainment wise. Why can't they make a modern day Love Jones type movie, what happened to all those funny Hood movies and Black American romcoms? I really thought Think Like a Man was the beginning of a new generation of those types of films, but nothing much really came out of it.

Right! As a kid I remember the sadness in this movie, so I did not get excited to re-watch it even with an amazing cast. I'll watch it when it streams at home. I have Harriet Tubman on my Netflix list and still hesitate to watch it because of the sadness I know I'll see.

@@gissellel663 Our parents had NO business showing us the Color Purple, I remember feeling trauma when Ms Sofia said 'Hell no' to the wyte lady and was made to face the repercussions- and how she got humbled physically. That whole film was brilliant but too much to be showing a young child.

You must be new to this channel. Lol 😂 IJS

Exactly I felt that was very rude and tasteless and for a blogger who speaks on subjects like these you can’t be to caught up in YOUR OPINION instead focus on the story and the narrative

@@levellk.behatti942 This is how she is. After a few years, you will get used to it tbh. We called her out on this. She pulls back a little...at least she tries...but then goes right back to her pattern and who she is. So once you realize that, you will just take it for what it is. Use your own brain and think for yall self. She sometimes states her opinions as facts...so you just gotta take it as is...an opinion. Try not to take it personally...cause I think most of the time, it's not with her...just what she honestly thinks. So it is what it is. So thats my only tip...just to take it with a grain of salt when she says her opinions.

@@jayc5756 sooo true and it showed in this piece one minute ooh she destroying the rollout or ooh something must be wrong but at the same time you show us viola davis a strong advocate for black women to be equally paid Gabriel union who spoke on this before and after americas got talent fired her because they told her that her hairstyles are to ethnic and black and also Monique who’s been telling us this since precious and the Netflix scandal about how they will under pay black actors and actresses and then take the money made from their hard work to produce a white film and or tv show and pay them more than what their collective of work even deserves so I really agree I see I jus have to take it with a grain of salt 🧂

@@jayc5756 thats the point!!! this is her opinion channel duhhhhhh

Thank you. We ruined so much.

SHE SHOULD HAVE WAITED

She shouldn't be blamed, but make no mistake, she didn't help it either. And for a film that people were already on the fence about (especially a musical re-make version), a stress and controversial free promotion was definitely needed.

💯💯💯

I completely agree 🎯💯‼️

The irony 😮

Gayle so damn fake..."don't apologize "

She will get blackballed, she would be held accountable if the movie does not do well it’s a 140 million dollars and Oprah is well known for her shady moves behind the scene there is no way she is gonna change her ways she never took responsibility for any feud Whoopi and Moniq can tell. She has the power and as a producer she could have avoid all this drama by doing the right thing giving the cast what they deserve but she does not care because she is selfish

Now we bout to get another Jackson 5 American dream , like come on😂 we don’t want the remakes

Clock it

When the other SUPER RICH BLACK Woman wants all of the attention!!!

I doubt billionaire Lady O needs or is looking for attention. She's successfully been in the game for decades. She gets attention whether she wants it or not. Taraji needs to talk to her agent, about her contracts/gigs.

Exactly. It’s so odd people hate Oprah as much as they do. Is she a perfect person? No! But should a dark skin black woman only be perfect to be respected? I just saw a comment on another video “i’ve always been suspicious of Oprah”… WHY!? Also if it’s not Vivia Fox’s lived experience, it’s not, what do you want her to do!? Meanwhile nobody is talking about WB, the one that were responsible for the budget, not Oprah.

Well Oprah is only black when it benefits her…

This! 💯💯💯

I think the way she’s acting so desperate and mentally unstable about it is weird.

@@jhordynsmith8339she’s acting how anybody dealing with unfair treatment should act.

Right! I though the commentary was in VERY poor taste.

@@therights6794 I didn’t see Monique crying hysterically and sabotaging Precious on its press run

About the financial issues, please ask the sellout who made the video and also believes so. Fighting about pay equality should be after the promotion of the movie as if it will change the pay equality? Taraji had enough of the disrespect of even a fully black promoted movie project. It's extremely painful when your own people who also treat you like nothing.

I agree

Absolutely

I am sorry I do not instead of watching the movie people are wondering about the beef going on. Fantasia and other black actresses needed to be seen and heard as well. Taraji has been in this game for a long time. She did not just start feeling under appreciated. And yes she can still be a great actress and still get underpaid but why did she not mention this movies ago.

3:13 ​@@adrianwillis66

That makes sense 👍💯💯

I Agee with you. This “remake” was unnecessary but unfortunately because Taraji spoke up, they will make it look like she’s the reason it underperformed meanwhile people were just not interested in watching it. They needed a scapegoat.

Exactly

Agreed. Also in this day and age African Americans are losing interest in the slavery type, black “struggle love” movies. It’s 2024 ya know. So it doesn’t surprise me it isn’t doing well on top of like you said being a remake.

@@ReleaseTheBatz I agree. The Black community is tired of movies depicting black characters going through traumatic things. That's why I'm excited to see the new movie American fiction. It has Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, Jeffrey Wright. It's a movie about black authors and it seems more modern

Nothing at all

I was 5, and I concur! "The Color Purple " didn't need to be remade at all!

Yes! I love this remark. Lol @ it exists In the archives for those who feel the need to see it it perpetuity 😂😂

@reneeparsonsLMMMMAOOOOOOO

Thank you!! This re-imagining was so unnecessary. Oprah wasn’t even the star of the original, she’s constantly attaching herself to this movie like she can’t get past not being nominated for an Oscar back in 1985-86 🙄

Oprah WAS nominated tho 😂

I agree!

Exactly 💯

Exactly!

Black female actors should understand that its not BLACK PEOPLE holding the purse - yt people run these studios so they control the money. We need our own lane because people who are not us won't EVER care.

This!!!

Exactly and it was Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and WON NOTHING! 1985 the Budget was $15M and it made $98M

💯

Exactly 💯👏🏾👏🏾

‼️‼️‼️

It’s kinda more like a broadway musical

Yes!! I feel the same way about Coming 2 America. I hated that movie.

Who didn’t get paid? She didn’t get paid “enough” or not paid at all? Was she at risk of losing life or limb when she walked off the set? I’m so sick of ppl flippantly mentioning slavery and reducing the brutality of what happened to slaves to fit their fkn narratives. I understand where Monique was coming from about not being paid enough but slavery is too far. They had nothing, no safety, no money, their families were sold off, meanwhile, her ass is sitting on a podcast with the RIGHT to air out her grievances. It’s not a good comparison.

That's BS. The studios are saying you aren't worth what you're asking for. These people are being paid for their work, they're not being paid what they want. There's a difference. Black actors don't make bank like white actors and that's facts. Look at the numbers and then speak. None of the women talking have the numbers to compel studios to make their asking price worth it.

Yeah that was shocking

They never take the entire cast. Usually just top two best performers or nominees.

Did you see that room? It was too packed.

Shocked

Why would they invite her if she wasn’t nominated🤦🏽‍♀️Like…I get it black folks but why do we have to be so messy & petty???

Agreed

Thank you!

Agreed

Right!

Vivica has been in the game long enough to know the Hollywood response. The one that can't be taken out of context because she neither agreed nor disagreed. Her response was not that, and therefore, I believe there was something behind it. Maybe it was edited. Maybe she wants to get attention when someone asks her to elaborate, IDK. I just know that response was a no for me.

Louder 😂

I’m sure it’s as easy as you think it is. Brilliant. And I bet the same can be said of everyone else, right?

Exactly...fk them ...why help them make billions then complain when they were part of the problem!

Boom ! Well said 👏🏾

I understand Taraji's plight but it was not an appropriated time since it was around the launch of the remake of the Color Purple. It shows a level of conflict and it would be seen as bad publicity and in turn may negatively affect sales.

I think people are conflating the VALITIDY of Taraji's plight with the JUSTIFICATION of her actions. Her plight IS valid. But, her actions are unjustifiable. @@victorstrong7378

Well, the hype has gone down. Very quickly. Her comments are probably one of the factors that added to that. Studios will remember the distraction this caused.

Because this isn’t the time to say that. You know what’s happening to the majority of Black women! Stand the line.

Exactly!!! She is secure in herself and her finances. She ain’t crying and begging NOBODY!!! Keep selling those wigs, lifetime movies, reality shows, do you boo!!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I’m not fond of her but you are correct. She spoke HER experience. Had she stayed quiet (since she’s not having that same experience), they would be attacking her for being quiet about it, and not standing with Taraji (the same way Taraji didn’t stand up for Monique). I will never forget when Taraji had folks riled up when she accused the police of racially profiling her son, and then video was released, showing the real reason that he was pulled over. People need to be careful instead of being quick to outrage, but showed zero outrage for Monique.

​@@SalemGurl8701If Vivica was good she wouldn't be doing Tubi movies.

@@SparkleInYourEyes2024doesn’t matter “good “ she acts😂 she is financially “good “💪🏾💪🏾

Exactly. I stay away from older Black women. Most of them are weirdos.

Taraji was the problem!! 🎯 And Taraji is up in age too and now producers won't even touch her out of fear that she will RUIN their films or tv shows too!💯🤦🏾‍♀️ This was the wrong place and time to discuss pay. She should have done this via her agent & closed doors!!💯🤦🏾‍♀️ She ruined the film outcomes bc it was a GREAT FILM.❤️ Her negativity just ruined it...she's Abt to be like Jussie... UNEMPLOYED ‼️

why another color purple? FR

@@Maui_Gyrl_she’s going to be like that white women Katherine Heigl when she started complaining about her show and movies and hasn’t been seen since. They gave Monique her Netflix special that flopped and is still not working

​​@@jasmine4214right I was like who asked for that 🙄🥱

Exactly 💯 I can’t believe all of these people are defending Oprah! Look at what she did to Michael Jackson. Where is her documentary about her friend Harvey Weinstein and HIS allegations?

Same thing I thought about..

That part and empressive he’s trying to take the blame off of Oprah! Oprah should’ve made sure before they start filming that everything was in place. Trailers, food for the acting team, and drivers for the crew to get to work every day. Oprah is a smart woman, so why didn’t she ask these questions? I’ll tell you why she didn’t ask these questions… Because she was trying to save money!

I LOVE OPRAH ❤

Facts

And that's why it's not doing well at the box office

Tbh I didn’t know there was a new movie until this drama lol 😭😫🫣

I didn’t want to support the Warner bros they took advantage of our girls

@@sayless1445 I think it’s not doing well because it’s a remake and a musical and most people don’t like musicals.

She talking about pay issues in the industry. I’m guessing whenever she in a TV show, commercial, or Movie the producers pay her right. That’s great if they paying Vivica right she been in the game too long to not too. Taraji had an issue with pay and on set low budget things that didn’t sit right with her. Learned in life every job you go work for will not always pay right or benefits be perfect. Taraji has now cleared it up saying Oprah was able to fix those issues so that’s great to hear. 💕

But at the sametime. Oprah has the power to demand the changes. The fact that she not having their back creates this whole situation.

​​@@uniqueone8928 She did advocate for them. That's how they got the accommodations they needed. This was clearly stated in the video

I heard that the budget was $100 million. Nobody should've been mad.

@@Awalkinthepark32 Yeah, I am glad that is was cleared up because I too was blaming Oprah. When you don't know how the industry works.

Warner Brothers is responsible for this, not Oprah. She gets a check just like the rest of them.😢

Really? Never heard her talk about pay. All I here is Will this, Will that

Yep

@@tiatia3977 She said that after season 1, the show was a success and they (the cast) were in a position where they could negotiate a higher pay but because Will didn’t do it, everyone backed down. Janet was the only one who wanted to fight for better pay. After that, people started treating her differently

Exactly, superb journalism. It's not about taking sides😊

This! Nothing at all.

exacrly

No. It was tone deaf. This is for the collective. This is bigger than her, it’s about all of us.

Thank you! People forget this is the entertainment business. At the end of the day it’s all for self. While they are getting money, people that’s not in the entertainment business need to sit this out cause we don’t really know what goes on behind the scenes. I’m HAPPY Vivica good! Her response is how people should respond when they are good. People are always saying it’s about all of us when they not worried about regular civilians.

@@thebeautywithin444 you cant fight everyones battles

This!! Mad at her, bcuz she’s happy with her life!! 🤔🤦🏾‍♀️

IDK why they won't let Vivica mind her business.

Exactly. That got me too.

Agreed. This channel has a tendency to make big assumptions. But When I heard that it gave me the ick too.

Exactly

​@@yogipriestessBig assumptions about black women. Always. She will come to the defense of abusive men like Chris Brown and Tory Lanez, but makes up stories about hardworking black women like Taraji.

​@@juarez94as Jonathan majors too. You told not one lie.

Perfect timing for her but not for the movie and everyone else involved in the movie (including the other actors)…which in turn, is not good for her future endeavors. So, basically, bad timing!

Couldn’t agree more 👌👌👌👌

Stupid move. She will realize that when nobody calls her for another move role

I don't agree. She created negative press against the movie. If the movie doesn't do well and production doesn't make the money back she will be blamed. This may also work against her if she is asking for more money. She may not be seen as an asset.

@@farmerz97 You’re focusing on the wrong thing. 1). She didn’t create an “negative” press. You saying that, insinuates what she’s fighting for is wrong. 2). Taraji is very smart. You think she’s losing but she’s actually wining. She may not get any calls for movies again, she may not get her raise in the end. But you what she did ? She has world talking about her. She has the world talking about what goes on behind closed doors in the film industry. Despite what you think, that was a huge win. Many other black actresses has talked about this situation but they didn’t come close to having the world pay attention to this matter. 3). Whether you want to believe it or not but she definitely caused a shift, more eyes will be on the film industry. More producers and executives will tread lightly. And DESPITE what YOU think, a lot of people are supporting her from the fans, to non fans to celebrities. You gotta focus on the bigger picture. At the end of the day, they already paid her and the other actors and actresses. She was never gonna get a raise if she stayed quiet. So might as well be loud.

But…there were 3 other producers. And I’m sure the studio has power over the producers.

@@Ah-LeeSays they had a 100 million dollar budget. I do blame the studio but the producer of the film is responsible for the talent and that does include meals and transportation. I don't expect Oprah to order catering or give them rides to set but ensuring the best standards and practices are happening on her set is critical. And acting like it has nothing to do with her or isn't her job is unacceptable. May not be her fault but it's her responsibility. If this were a Tyler Perry film or equivalent producer/director, we would be looking at Tyler, because it's your set/show/movie/project/responsibility.

Thank You! I'm an Actor and I know there are things that can be negotiated in the contract, but minor necessities such as Security, Transportation, Housing, etc, should be a given. I've heard that majority of producers are making actors fend for themselves in regards to Flights and Transportation. No trailers or dressing rooms, unsanitary accommodations, it's ridiculous.

She is asking why because the internet is specifically blaming her about the pay. Additionally, she personally addressed and took care of every issue the cast had that was not about pay. That is why she is asking.

@@believensee8621 yes but she is annoyed and she is irritated with Taraji for complaining too much when these things shouldn't have had to be asked for to begin with. This is the absolute bare minimum. They're major stars on set all day and didn't even have food to eat. We are bringing it to Oprah because black women are being treated less than the standard on HER watch on HER project, even if not her fault it's her responsibility. Being accountable is acceptable being defensive is not.

Why now during her promotion of a black film!?? She could’ve done this earlier, now she risk being blackballed because people are blaming her for the film not doing well.

I agree with her too. She had to go through too much to be disrespected by having to beg for a driver and food🙄

The director has every right to pay them what they want too .. icu don’t like it ? Don’t sign the contract right 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is completely inappropriate & unprofessional

Oprah tried to get some quick, easy millions for her pocket...and it didn't work. smh

Facts , Vivica knows how powerful Oprah and the industry move.

Being neutral on a big issue is gonna get u flack by a lot of ppl, especially when ur in the same boat as them and choose to act unbothered. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@@ddneq677that is true, but everyone doesn’t want to be an activist. People are going through personal issues in their lives and don’t always have the capacity to take on the consequences of these things.

Exactly. Her response wasn’t disrespectful at all.

@@payehomage6922well just stfu then! Thats like a brainwashed slave being cool while the other slaves complain and get rebellious, you know it’s a fukd up industry, but if you’re not supporting the issue at hand don’t be all “I’m good” idk what she’s talking about type attitude cuz it makes no sense.

I agree. If the new version were available immediately for streaming, I would watch it. I have no desire to see it in theaters, especially if it's as long as the original.

That's not just black women, that's everyone, except the 1 %. We should stand with each other, no matter the skin tone.

This is not being fearless or boldness. They would be not taking the low pay and unfair working conditions. She set there and took the money and took her ass to work. The movie is finished and now she is coming out. It would have been bold if she would have said "they wanted to pay me less for Color Purple and not give me a car. I walked away because I deserve that black women deserve more." What kind of boldness is this. She basically communicated to them "I'll work and take the money and just blackball myself later." WB is still going to make movies. Oprah will still be rich and they will still pay unfair wages as long as people are accepting the low wages. Taraji accepted the"low wages." Having diarrhea mouth doesn't make you bold.

@@Taniere👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!! Pay and accommodations are supposed to be negotiated BEFORE agreeing to sign on to a project. She's "been in the business for 20 years," so she KNOWS this. If she was unhappy with the pay or accommodations, she should have said "no." Or, she should have gotten everyone together and said, "we should all say no, unless they pay us what we are worth." But, you don't accept the terms and then bad-mouth the movie WHILE IT'S IN THEATERS! She's messing up people's money, AND making sure nobody hires her in the future. @@Taniere

@@erehistruth2356 exactly especially after that MJ documentary I think black people disowned her after that that was the nail in the coffin.

I agree with you 💯%

No, she’s just a woman who understands that business isn’t a charity. This movie is not going to make back it’s inflated production costs. This is WBs first loss maker of 2024 and while it was always going to struggle to make its money back, it didn’t help that Taraji and Co decided to play diva. Most movies don’t give you a chauffeur unless you’re at RDJ level. My entire career while we were location, I was picked up and dropped in a van and by the way, Woody Harrelson would be in those morning vans with us. Is Taraji bigger than him? DIVA.

Oprah has always been sketchy as hell. I’m still waiting for her dirty laundry to air. It’s been a long time coming. Oprah is NOT a good person, and I was catching these vibes for YEARS. The shit with Monique and Taraji is only the tip of the iceberg.

She didn't set any records that are ancestors didn't create and break long before Oprah. Please educate yourself on our history that keeps being erased

If they act like that with Taraji what would they do with new black actresses and that’s why Taraji is upset, the fact that a fellow black woman would allow the cast to be disregarded like that on a set of a movie about the struggle of black people… the irony.

@@Beefsectaweaknow i definitely agree but she did clear Oprah’s name but ppl still ran with making Oprah the bad person

@LexxiLoveMe Here's the thing she has been on multiple shows and she kept leaving it open for assumptions. You can't pull out a gun and start shooting recklessly because the wrong person might get hit. Monique did it the right way all intended parties got hit

She won’t be working with Oprah or any big producer.

This movie is not even on track to make back its production and promo costs. It needs to make at minimum $150M to not be a major studio loss that ensures they never invest in another black woman dominated film again. The studio knew it would struggle and was trying to contain costs but Taraji had to be a diva. And now she’s sabotaged the film with black audiences guaranteeing it will flop every demographic. Business illiteracy is our biggest downfall.

This part!!! I'm not paying for something I'm gonna get for free in a couple weeks.... especially when I saw the original already 💁🏾‍♀️

Yep she answered a question like that quickly because she was busy.

I don't know usually these celebs set up the TMZ interviews themselves....thats the way the pap system in hollywood works- it's rarely impromptu.....

Right?! I hated how they treated her.

years ago Taraji herself brought it up and this was before Monique. Monique is not the patron saint here . er... Viola broke it down too. they can have this conversation at separate times and different places and not need to be huddled together as if they are the same mouth. Black women don't play that game in real life and they needn't too. Now why would you expect errrrbody to be bosom buddies.

A little but we do not know how she truly feels that was a 10 second answer to an intense question.

Exactly. That’s what it seem like and that she’s going through something personally.

Yes it is you just heard all of them black actresses speak on it.

@@blah21blah22blah23right

Taraji explained this in a The Real reality show interview Where she explained how the moneh works You are taxed 50% of the total salary After thay you have to pay your people An agent, studios rarely cast actors withiut agencies so you need one A lawyer An accountant , to make sure the IRS doesnt come after you A publicist to put out fires or scandals and keep your image good A manger or perisnal asssistant yo keep up woth your schedule , book flights , hotels transport e.t.c... Most actors work 12+ hour days when filming so they dont have the time to do all that stuff alone After working youll be extremely tired And a lot of black actors are forced to work way more than big time white actors Vivica is in that bracket she is constantly working And doesnt have kids so money she would have need to spend on her kid / kids like Taraji she probably spent on her self So of course she would be good I feel she should have declined ti comment because her fellow actresses womt support her if she ever changes her tune Hollywood doesnt forget

​​@@shippendales8543.. makes me think someone in tarajis camp is mis managing her money or not accounting properly.. in addition to maybe also not properly negotiating and representing her interests. Reason being if she is set up as a company for example, is she had a company, Taraj Enterprises LLC , then her money would be revenue to the business then all expenses would come out associated with making the business a success cost of goods etc. She would draw a salary and dividends, but more importantly the taxes would come out of the gross profit which would be then amount after her employees and salary and cost of running the business has been paid.. Which also makes me question when they socialise with their other successful counterparts what do they talk about I would think exchanging information on business managers so I get on to more efficient managmen55, or you doing something right what's the secret to help ease this or that, where is the comraderie and exchange of information , are these and every party so superficial that we act as though our team has it together...I dunno just wondering..
