Cynthia Erivo responds to jokes about her being Ariana Grande’s “bodyguard” after defending her from an intruder on the ‘WICKED: FOR GOOD’ red carpet:
“I think that we haven’t really come to terms with the insidious nature of how we view Black women. And I’m sure people will read this and think, ‘Oh, for goodness’ sake, it’s not about that.’ But it is. Because that’s what was being made fun of. It was my physique; it was my shape; it was the fact that I was bald; it was about what I looked like. And because of that, there was this assumption that I was bigger than my co-star and so I had to be controlling or protecting, and that was my role. I would hazard a guess that it would not have been the same had it been the other way around.”

happy mother’s day to palestinian, congolese, sudanese, yemenis mothers who are carrying their families through fear, loss and displacement while still finding ways to give warmth, hope, and care ❤️🩹
you could make a 4 hour long compilation with all the times trisha paytas has been racist, lgbtphobic, ableist, zionist or just being a disgusting human being in general and yet nobody gives a shit lol peak white influencer privilege
transfemicide is honestly not talked about enough, especially now that the violence against trans women is at an all time high. Davonta should be here today, she should be able to grow old and have a happy life and it was all violently taken away from her.
warm take: it was good that vcha was more of a younger concept, kids need entertainment and a space in music… especially how kids bop fell off tremendously.
