She seems like she's very dramatic and attention seeking
Probably thought this would spark something where she's seen as a victim

Im not talking about the money either. She's a seasoned enough actress not to mention Oscar and other award winning that she can choose which roles she takes.
This casting probably was going to a white woman like in the original movie until she decided she wanted it

if u really wanna go that route, having an oscar doesnt mean u can be extra picky cuz there's so many people banging down ur door

that's been proven several times over - especially for black actors

if anything, the "oscar curse" becomes a real concern. where the OPPOSITE of what you'd expect to happen after winning happens

so i cant even speak to how selective she is able to be. and even if she can be super picky the casting director still isn't off the hook

sometimes looking from the outside in provides the best view of how things are being set up.

just as someone whos in a bad relationship may need a friend to say "gorl, he doin u dirty." doesn't mean the person loves being done dirty, or asked for it, or is at fault for continuing to remain an active participant in the situation.

just means they're looking at things through a different lens.

and you may want to look up Cynthia's comments about American Black ppl being that she's from the UK. She's gotten quite some backlash for comments she's made. So even if someone told her it doesn't look good for a Black woman im not sure she would listen or agree

well it is called WICKED sir. She's the title character. They could have casted more black characters but if there had to be just one, definitely give them the top billing
