when stunting goes horribly wrong (9/27/14)

When I first saw the headline "Actress Who Starred in Django Unchained Detained by LAPD", I thought WTF happened to Kerry Washington???, because SHE is the actress who STARRED in that film. As soon as I discovered it was some girl who played a slave with like two lines of dialogue, I suspected some fuckery was afoot.

Then this actress - Danielle Watts - went on CNN and my suspicions were confirmed. Throughout the interview, she was just a little too indignant and entitled, while her boyfriend was conspicuously silent. Sure enough -- or as her minor, slave character would have said," 'sho nuff" -- TMZ got the photos and the fuckery was exposed -- literally. In the blink of an eye, the civil rights leaders and feminists who had rushed to her defense, redirected their fervor to Ferguson and other legitimate instances of police discrimination.

I avoided blogging about this whole thing because I was so finished I couldn't put an intelligent sentence together. Enter the always on point Kid Fury who (along with his partner in reading crime, Crissle) roasted Ms. Watts in a recent episode of The Read. Grab a Dr. Pepper and some cheese popcorn, and enjoy. Oh and Danielle, girl... BYE.
