Yes, we’re all talking about Thandie Newton’s Tom Cruise story BUT what really stuck out to me was this Charlie’s Angels, Amy Pascal story. https://twitter.com/NYMag/status/1280473776233250820

Or this little nugget on her and Halle Berry being bi-racial actresses coming up

And this about movies where she played African American characters she know regrets

On colorism and how she played a role in it early in her career

AND THIS FUCKING HORRIBLE STORY ABOUT THE SEXUAL ASSULT SCENE IN CRASH OMG

Then a fun pivot into Norbit. Amazing. Add it to IMDB trivia right away!

On racism from the producers on Rouge. This one made my blood boil.

What a ride. Honestly the Tom Cruise story is the least bit interesting part, at least to me. All of her admissions about playing into colorism and depictions of African Americans — phew. Very honest @thandienewton

I wonder tho, if this interview was done by an Black woman, what little gems would have been dug up. I’m a little disappointed the article doesn’t press more on the racism and micro aggression she’s outlining.

Even the bit about the Rouge writers putting her in the “Westworld dumpster”the journalist calls it petty, nay, its micro aggression.

It’s what Black women face in the work place every day.
