Listen y'all: don't call Ava DuVernay an "auntie." The director of When They See Us said she doesn't feel old enough to carry such a title—even if it's said out of respect.
DuVernay was chatting with reporter Van Lathan about her latest Netflix series, which tells the story of the 1989 Central Park jogger case and the five men who were wrongfully accused and later exonerated.
Still, when Lathan, who said he's "from the south," started calling DuVernay "Ms. Ava," she opened up about the other labels of respect that people try to bestow upon her, including "Auntie Ava."
"First of all, I have a real issue with recently I've been getting called on Twitter 'Auntie Ava,'" the 46-year-old began. "Why?! Why?! Am I that old? Because I don't feel that old."
