Oh my god Fumi!!!! I’m looking at your subscribers numbers and I am so inspired! It wasn’t that long ago you celebrated reaching 500K. You will be at a million this year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm glad for this time we're in and I'm thankful for Katt and Taraji. Oprah is finally getting a taste of her own damn medicine. She loves to tarnish reputation with false allegations. I'll never forgive Oprah for doing that disgusting interview with that trash Megan Markle and the lies about baby's skin color. Oprah put that interview on an international -- global -- stage -- like a grenade went off and started a war of words over racism and it all pointed to the late Queen Elizabeth II who at the time was in her 90's, and her husband was on his deathbed and Oprah did that and didn't give a damn. Oprah can go to hell with the Color Purple because nobody gives a shit.
Am I missing something? How is Oprah coming for Katt? As for the CP musical I agree it shouldn't have been made. Tired of black trauma. Also tired of remakes.
If it's anything about Black struggle, poverty, or slavery, then I have zero interest. If it wasn't for my 80+ mother wanting to see CP in a private screening that I had access to, I would NOT have gone. I need to see Black people fighting dragons and traveling the galaxies!
It wouldn't surprise me if the remake was done with nefarious intentions ie. to keep division strong and of course to take MORE money from the gullible.
I have never been a fan of Oprah growing up... my instincts. something about her has always been off. What was Oprah's salary as the producer?! Exactly, Spielberg never wanted to touch the movie but Oprah insisted. Taraji did interviews and she honestly answered the questions asked. She made decisions to speak the truth of what was going on with her. No one should be punished for speaking the truth because the real of the world does not like it. Fumi, I love your reviews, Taraji only answered the questions asked, and she opted to just be honest.
Okay how is this Oprah's fault or responsibility to negotiate the pay of the actresses? Taraji has a team who should be handling this. Why did she take this role if it was not paying what she is worth? She could have said no to the salary and the movie.
@@shaylove3786 Her relatives said she embellished her poor upbringing and made up stories about sexual abuse to boost her ratings in Kitty Kelly's biography. I don't trust her. She's a snake. Have you ever wondered why she's the only black female billionaire in Hollywood? That's cos she loves being the only one at the top. Mo'Nique won an Oscar for her role in Precious, she only got paid $50,000. Who were the Producers? Oprah, Tyler Perry & Lee Daniels. She kicked off when she was asked to promote the film at her own expense. They blackballed her 'cos of that. They just love being at the top suppressing other black artists. Shame on them.
@@shaylove3786It's very easy to say "why did you take a raw deal when you knew what it was?" But how many have the luxury of turning down a job when it can literally put food on the table and cover those bills and debt that are weighing you down currently? I know what that's like so no, I emphatically disagree with that way of thinking. The reality is, a lot of people that are better off and in positions of power enjoy their privileges and abuse subordinates in the workplace. In most cases we don't have recourse and just have to swallow our pride and accept 10 cents instead of $50. It's my current workplace nightmare
I tried to watch the original Color purple with my 85 year old Mother and she just couldn’t watch it for long. It’s so hurtful to see the oppression and it bringing up memories for her and those feelings for a women born 1938. She just said she doesn’t like seeing it 😔 so it didn’t need to be remade. And a musical doesn’t make a dark period lighter. 🤷🏽♀️
I think that,that was what Monique was trying to say that Oprah is one of the producers. She should have protected the cast, especially if all of them were hand-picked. She is not as innocent as she looks.
If your child can’t read it’s bad parenting. My daughter is a Gen Z and she is a voracious reader. What does that have to do with anything??? Katt is no authority on how to produce a musical film. But, I do agree that making another version of The Color Purple was doomed from the start because we have better things to go spend our limited funds on.
He was nervous and kept self soothing motions throughout The whole interview… He is the bravest famous person Ever for it and I love him for it🥰 Thank You Fumi for covering it
Katt woke up on January 1st, and said “this is the year” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that man is first of all fuuuuuuuunnny. His body language, the tone of his voice 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that Fendi jacket and hat😂😂😂😂😂, am tiiiiiired.
I had no idea that Katt was as honest and upfront as he is. He makes so much sense and people need to take notice. I am proud that he is man enough to speak the truth with proof to back everything up. His mention of teachers touched my heart. I was a teacher for over 30 years. The pay is terrible, the kids are challenging, and the retirement is lousy, yet we teach because we love our children and realize that they are our future. I hope Katt continues to tell his truth and pray that he will be safe as he is dealing with some powerful and vengeful people.
I stop caring about Oprah yearssssssss ago. Her interview “about” Michael Jackson with those white guys was not necessary. Micheal had been gone for 8 years and she decided to have a conversation “about” him with them. She has not said one word in defense for (her friend) Harvey Weinstein victims. And her interview with Tony Braxton was uncalled for. The interview with Harry and Meghan was for Oprah not them. Oprah has been for Oprah and the powers that be for quite sometime. It goes w/o saying she would have not done this to a cast of white actors/actresses. Love you Fumi❤❤❤ Keep up the good work. You are fabulous.
Don't be so hard on Oprah, bc Stedman is kept and his taste is getting more expensive, bc what she can afford. It's ashamed, she never had a man. Bc guys that are kept are just a male, bc heavy complexion men don't be kept!!!
Do not forget the interview of Dave Chapelle. She went into the interview with an agenda to paint a negative picture of Dave. It was very disturbing to watch.
I did not interpret Kat's comment as something against Oprah. To me, he thinks Oprah will be the next person on the Shay Shay show being interviewed, and 'that's going to be at a dimension that had never been'.
I agree what you said. That's exactly what he meant. I think some of Katt's intellect went over Shannon's head. It was still a great interview. Great comment.
Most of us are a classy group on Fumi's channel. I'm glad that we are making her proud about our comments. People are trying to blame Tariji for the movie flopping. But truth be told, a lot of us black people don't want to see it and it will only appeal to a certain number of peope within other races. So how much money did they expect for this to make? As a black Caribbean woman, I had no wish to see this at all even when people kept talking about its release. And then with young people fighting over Stanley cups, how much of them would be interested in this movie?
As a black Caribbean woman I concur with your comment. This is why I am a part of fumi nation. I concur with you @lpgiber Us younger folks do not want to erase the past. There is an awareness amongst us. But we want to feel uplifted, celebrated and educated when we enter the room. Tarji P gave everyone especially the younger sisters a valuable lesson .....there is a time and place for everything. Even the Bible says this......" you cannot show up to work ( mad at what happened the day before) with three cuts in eyebrows trying to wild out😅". Do what you're contracted to do and go home. Next movie, you clean house and renegotiate.
@ameliaoze6462 I am a Carribean woman as well and am part of Fumination a long time. She did all the press work unlike Monique. In addition, Taraji spoke about in private and as usual sisters betray and put you on blast. What folks can't see is that: Gayle and Oprah do interviews for $$$$. Not to bless you. It's simple, money talks and adjective walks. She did the same to Prince Harry. Note: Oprah mentioned "the studio, the studio, the studio." Taraji doesn't have to work anymore if she so desires. She has plenty of $$$$$. I knew the movie was going to flop. Black Americans supported it and said it was a hot mess. Colmin Domingo will never be Danny Glover.
I have no desire to see the movie. I saw the original and that was enough for me. Oprah has found someone she can’t intimidate and she is angry. My advice Oprah, don’t send for Katt because he will show up. Oprah, you would not have treated white actresses that way. Taraji had the right to speak her peace. Oprah was never my hero and she was not that nice. The way she treated Toni Braxton, Whitney, the Jackson’s, etc. was not nice. Now she’s blaming Warner Bros. for the problems on set. She is what we call nasty nice…
I am so proud of you Fumi! You read the feedback, took it all in, and looked at the situation with fresh eyes. You hit it out the park with this commentary. Kudos!
Yes yes that is what I’m hearing now. She has back stepped and I love that too. But!!!!!! We all need to stop all these slave movies and plays. It’s enough already. Tired of them. You don’t see any Native American slave plays do you?!!!!???
@@skqq3250I don’t perceive Fumi “back stepped.” Part of the reason TCP flopped is because not enough people wanted to see it. But, there going to blame Taraji for their losses, not Oprah! We BEEN KNEW this about Oprah. Oprah has never been about addressing issues that affect black people. TCP is just a “pet project” for her. As Katt suggested, Oprah is one of those people who is paid to NOT talk about black issues. So, there is absolutely NO reason for us to expect her to look out for black actors. Her history in the business tells us that. And we BEEN KNRW Hollywood underpays black actors. But, that doesn’t change the fact that Taraji’s team dropped the ball in negotiations. NEVER rely on someone to act out of the “kindness of their heart” when money is on the line. ESPECIALLY not Oprah! Taraji is justified in her complaint. But, she shot herself in the foot by bringing it up at the WRONG time.
And that's why they black movies don't make money. They keep throwing these types of films on us. But how can Bad Boys continue to be a successful franchise? Because it's not about black people being repressed and enslaved.
Fumi, you are going straight to 1 million! I make a mantra one phrase you said... "it is not a loss. It was a lesson! You thought it was a loss, It was a lesson!!" ... sometimes life is very difficult... we try to make small steps. Thank you very much!!❤❤❤
For me, the color of purple was very depressing and those type of movies do not appeal to me as originals much less as remakes. I watched the original once at the movies and I felt as if I was being punished - being that I was "trapped" (I was a child and couldn't leave). At any rate, I haven't watched it since and I have no intentions of watching any current and/or future remakes. That being said, it broke my heart to see Taraji in tears over her salary... The older I get the more I lose respect for the entertainment industry...it's 2024 and still people are having to deal with inequalities due to the color of ones skin...and not just anyone...it's Taraji - shes a freaking superstar... (I am just going to leave it there)
Ms. Fumi!!! I absolutely adore you. You are such a lady full of class, and refinement. I love your content, and I think that you are spot on with whatever you are talking about. From fashion to trending topics. I remember when I first saw you on UA-cam and you were doing a podcast on how to walk in heels. I was super impressed and I’ve been hooked ever since. Keep doing what you’re doing. Your personality is so refreshing, and the fact that you are a married lady and a family woman speaks volumes. I can tell that you are thinking woman. I am super impressed with you. God bless you doll.❤️
The musical movie was well put together and I loved it. My husband who is not really in to those type of movies, and didn’t see the first color purple enjoyed the movie as well. It was a really good movie!! 💜💜💜
The original was trash propaganda. And the fact that you negros don't understand this is sad. So the fact that Oprah made this movie again should have you fuming! But no. It's ok to paint a negative picture of black men. Smh. The plantation mindset is strong with you people!
I couldn’t agree with you more!!! I’ve always loved Katt! The number one reason is he’s always the same! Be it him doing comedy or when speaking his truth. Many are finding out that he too experienced a lot just like Taraji. When you examine all the people who were so called targeted in his Club Shay Shay interview ….he had a long history with these folks. It wasn’t random…he wasn’t under the influence of alcohol…which he clearly let Shannon Sharpe know.😂😂😂 This was clearly something he gave a lot of thought to. It was planned and executed to perfection. The actions of these people clearly hurt him very deeply at some point and the time finally arrived for him to clear the air. It took a lot of courage…he’s been through a lot! I for one have a lot of respect for him and send prayers up for the ancestors to surround him and his family with their love and protection. His actions were powerful…he was speaking for many who felt that they couldn’t speak up for themselves without ruining their careers. I appreciate you Fumi for discussing this topic and other great topics on your platform. Many Blessings ❤️🙏🏾❤️
Yes, Fumi! I agree. After your last video I said that we as black people are tired of this non-affirming content of "black mammies" we don't need another Color Purple movie and this, in my opinion, is why the movie is a flop!
IMO the movie was beautifully done!!! I didn’t hear any complaints about it being done on broadway. I think Taraji’s truth was HER truth and no one should try to take it away from her. If you don’t like it, fine, but I say we need to support our Black Actors and Actresses.
Fumi, you are so pretty with your hair like that. It showcases your incredible cheekbones and your hair is healthy and beautiful. I look forward to you growing your hair longer and seeing what you are going to do with all that beautiful natural hair
🔥over 2 decades now, I have been deep down this rabbit hole. Oprah’s name has come up many many times as a handler and groomer. Oprah is very dangerous. Why? Because she comes across as your friend and will win you over with presents and her kindness and so called caring but…..once you accept that from her you owe her. You owe her for life! She gathers rich and famous around her so when she needs favors…..YOU OWE HER! She is vile disgusting and worse she is dangerous!!!! 🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
She’s not dangerous. Stop being afraid of people who can kill your body but not your soul. She will burn in the lake of fire just like her counterparts that house demons. Trust me- as GOD’s daughter- Oprah’s day is coming.
Agree 💯 %. Let’s see more stories about Black, Brown, Asian excellence! Let’s show the upcoming generations what they can aspire to and strive for. Teach them how they got here, and the history and horrors. But, also show them everything they can achieve if they prepare and work for it.
If having a car, driver, security, trailer, and craft services are standard on all movie productions then there wouldn't be nothing for Oprah to fix if it was in place to begin
It seems like this is a created caste/class system that’s been around since the beginning. The disrespect seems to be done on purpose much like raci$m and so many other gender di$criminatory practices.
I am a firm believer in time and place but there comes a time when bad treatment creates frustration and people lash out. That's what Taraji did. She just got fed up of being treated horribly and moreso from one of her own. It wasn't me and I am highly disappointed in Oprah. There have been times when ALL of us were in similar situations and upon reflection realized we should've handled things differently. But as I like to say, that is how it was supposed to pan out. I am glad with the way ALL of this was revealed. As we say in the Caribbean, it is bad when other dogs bite you, you can deal with that. But when your own dog bites you, you feel that one to your soul and you've got to put a stop to it. Taraji just put a stop to it and I support her 10000%. Well done my dear. Oprah embarrassed Taraji publicly by treating her like that, so Oprah got what she gave......PUBLIC HUMILIATION AND EMBARRASSMENT. Ain't that fun when the rabbit got the gun huh!!
WOW! THATS THE MOST HONEST SENSIBLE THING IVE EVER SEEN ABOUT THIS IN FIGHTING. YOU GAVE YOUR OPINIONS AND ADVICE WHICH ALL WERE SPOT ON! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER HEARD YOU AND IM SO IMPRESSED. I THINK IF OPRAH SLIDES OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT FOR ONCE SWEETNESS,I THINK,AND IM SURE THOUSANDS WOULD AGREE THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE OVER THE ONCE TRUSTED OPRAH SHOW AS IVE NEVER HEARD SUCH HONESTY, AND WELL THOUGHT COMMENTS FROMANYONE ELSE! YOU HAVE JUST MADE A FAN! GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOU DO. xx.
Thanks Fumi, I appreciate your analysis of "Gate Keepers". This perfect storm...gurl, you shed light on the significance of Oprah's decision to remake the Color Purple as out of touch. I am currently engaged in establishing an Elders Council in my small community cause we older visionary people do not have a good sense of the young folks wishes, dreams and their Value to community. You conveyed a wise use of energy for Oprah to micro manage the production knowing she was changing the culture. Oprah must demand alignment with her, not vice versa. We can't be lazy leaders. Oprah will grow significantly from this experience so thank you Fumi for your brilliance, value system, principles and love for the beautiful.
Fumi, I think you're so right. Oprah should've looked out for her cast and advocated for them when it came to speaking to Warner Bros. This musical was not for this generation of today. This generation is not into sad, gloomy, and slavery stories such as this and Roots.
Me too. These sisters now days with those tired braids overdone and not cared for down to the knees. No nothing about culture either. Only a convenience and copying.
Well said, it is indeed a perfect storm. It was meant to be. God is completely at work. I pray that the bright light of God can shine in all the dark places of the world.
I'm so happy u see it this way, Fumi. The movie should've never been remade, especially as a musical. Additionally, like so many black people, I don't trust Oprah. I have watched her bask in the demise of black entertainers while supporting the worst of "them folk."
I wholeheartedly agree with that last part, however, I thought it was done beautifully. I say if they can do a remake of any movie and do it as good as this was done, why not? Our 18 year olds can vote, so if they don’t learn our history, by any means necessary, how can they ever become leaders? Every time I see djtRump on TV now, they’re making sure that stooopid ssa tim scott is standing right behind him grinning, when he knows how absolutely racist this clown is towards our people and anyone who doesn’t look wyte. How will our children ever learn, because they’re d@mn sure not learning true history about our people in our schools. Everything in the movie, except for the dancing and the successful business, I’ve personally seen in my own life. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and every movie isn’t for everyone, but I think the actors should have been treated as well as other actors……IF…..you know what I mean.😉
Losing my beloved adopted mom during a Covid19 surge, though not from Covid, I feel this comment. It’s been ongoing devastating living in her absence along with others including my beloved father amongst others.💔 I personally never cared for, The Color Purple and have no interest in these type of films, or series etc. Let alone anything else, personally triggering as I’m mourning & in bereavement…💔
Ms. Beautiful Fumi! First of all, you look heavenly! The fit, the make up, and the hair are all on fire!!!🔥 🤩 Secondly, I have learned in big and small businesses that the majority of the time, the people at the top of the pyramid do not care about anything unless it directly affects them. Sadly, they seem to never care about the foundation workers at the bottom! The foundation is the most important part. But when they start to get affected, when things are not right as it directly relates to them, then you see things happen. Its so very sad. 😞
Hi Fumi, did you believe that Katt's comment about Oprah was negative? I think, in context, that he was joking with Shannon saying that Oprah would be running to be Shannon's interview guest on the platform. Just saying.
I’ve been dealing with this my entire career! I’m almost 60 years old and always low balled on salaries and recognition! I’ve been harassed to nauseam! I’m so traumatized I had to give it up 😢
Agree it can happen in any career. But for a whole career. Sounds like a "you" problem if it has happened your whole career. Of course if your career was professional victim you can consider yourself a success. Always look on the bright side! Find that silver lining.
Yassss!!!! Fumi, you said it all. When i heard they were remaking this movie, I was upset and hoped that no one turned out to see it and it came through. We need a long break from all the struggle and slavery films of black people. We are tired!!! We want to see black women and girls living happy, carefree, healthy, and wealthy on the big screens
Ms Fumi, Great analysis of this on going fued, of the remake of the Color Purple! It's about time for everyone to see, just how Hollywierd works! Much Respect!
My question is: as a producer and financial backer, how did she not know? A lot of things Taraji was asking for and the other actors were complaining about are STANDARD in other actors contracts of the same or lesser caliber. Oprah show2d us who she really is and has been showing us for decades. It's time we believe her.
Taraji did it the way it was meant to be done for her! It’s good that she didn’t drop any names regarding the target of her grievances. It worked out for her! She will not loose a single thing behind it! She has been trending every since, just like Katt! What happened to Taraji was an outrage to African Americans progress. I’m not the only one praying 🙏🏾 for her increase! Oprah knows, she’s wrong. Better fix it! Nonsense!
Love you as always. Fumi Nation is right, that black people are seriously into black positivity, that's why the Wakanda movies were so phenomenally supported. Also agree with you 100% about Oprah's culpability. Yes too, the cast should have been treated as royalty.
thank you so much Fumi for speaking the truth, and only the truth, and for stepping out for the truth. Truth always wins. Just like kindness. you are an inspirational woman. and I so highly praise you, for that you are just one strong and amazing woman who stands for the truth. Love you very very much.
Fumi, I really believe people just weren't interested this movie. The studios misread the signs, nobody to blame, clearly, it's not a story the majority of people wanted to go to the theater to watch in 2023. The world has changed since the original movie came to the screen in 1985. I read Alice Walker's book, I saw the 1985 adaptation and what they included from the book in the movie in the 80's caused a stir and people flocked to theaters. It's a different world now.
The musical movie was well put together and I loved it. It wasn’t depressing. It was a story of forgiveness & redemption. My husband who is not really in to those type of movies, and didn’t see the first color purple enjoyed the movie as well. It was a really good movie!! 💜💜💜
I didn't see The Color Purple musical movie. I saw the original film and the Broadway musical. I know many people who enjoyed it. However, I am one who is over it. Nonetheless, I respect you all for disagreeing. To each her own. I spent my Christmas movie money to see American Fiction. Few are talking about it, but I profess: it was an Oscar winning movie for me.
Taraji P. should have reported her problems regarding the poor conditions and treatment to her team (which includes her agent, manager and/or attorney) and not to the producer (Oprah). The protocol is for the talent/artist is supposed to report any compliant issues or grievances to their team and not to the producers or studio. Instead, her legal team and/or agent is supposed to settle such matters, because that’s what they’re paid to do. It’s clear that Taraji tried to handle it herself instead of letting her team do their job. Taraji should have not returned to the set until her team and the producers had resolved all of the issues.
I agree with you Fumi, it is the perfect storm. Everything exactly as it should be. I am happy that Katt commented. Who else was going to do it? Like you said he is not indebted to Hollywood. He is his own entity. It had to be done. There is never going to be a right time to bring up these issues. I will govas far as saying that Taraji spoke up exactly the right time, when n it has the most impact even though it was at a risk. Everyone understands money. If she hadn't and waited until the movie past and became a box office hit, the vicious cycle would have started again. Everything is out in the open and all eyes are now on the powers that be including Oprah. Oprah is a handler and that is why this falks into her lap and reflects poorly on her.
I agree that this film should've never been "reimagined". A whole new story that has nothing to do with the Color Purple should've been created . I don't think that all is to blame on T. I think this movie appealed to a small demographic fan group. It's a shame because they worked very hard and had high hopes for this project to be successful. You look beautiful Mz. Fumi!
At the end of the day, the public does not really know what was going on behind the scenes with this production. The Monday morning quarterbacking is the easiest thing in the world to do. I am not the biggest Oprah fan but she appears to be the easiest one to dump on. It is not Oprah's job to micro-manage the actors contracts. That is what their management is for. Taraji has already acknowledged that she had to fire her management for poor performance. Yes, Oprah, because of her influence could have and apparently did, right some of the shortcomings during production but as much as we like to believe we know everything happening behind the scenes, we don't.
You Fumi darling are a diplomat! I like how you shed light on what the truth of the matter is! Who reinventes the wheel? Besides the only person making money on this is Spielberg 😢 and nope didn’t waste my time seeing the movie. The original color purple was musical enough!
I truly liked the adaptation. In fact, I loved it. If I am completely honest, the original was depressing and too heavy for me, especially as a child. Fantasia said it best when she explained why she agreed to do the movie. She stated that Celie was able to dream. That’s what I mostly enjoyed about the movie.
Same here. Yes, I left the theater in tears, however, they were happy tears. I absolutely loved it all the way through. The ending was a happy ending, just as the original was. I think more people should see it, and see it as it is and NOT comparing it with the first one. It’s funny how people complain about how there’s no good Black movies, because now they have so many choices. These actors worked hard for the little bit of money they were paid. There’s wyte actors who are millionaires today from doing waaaay less, and we all know why. They have the support of their people, they have sponsors, commercials, fan clubs etc. Anyway, it seems like a lot of y’all don’t know what a good movie really is, or how to support our Black actors who are out here for our Blactertainment. Great commentary, as usual Fumi!!! 😉
@@shirleyvanarsdalecrabtree2880 this is a good perspective! Something else that other cultures do is adaptation of classic movies and they win Oscar’s for it. I’m sure there will always be those who prefer the original movie and that’s okay. But if we could try viewing this movie as a reimagining like it was intended to be, it may grow on some people.
I did see the movie and I thought the performances were great. Celie came into her own and got out of a bad situation. However I didn’t think we needed another remake of this movie. We have many stories that need to be told and I think the resources should be spent on doing them.
Oh my god Fumi!!!! I’m looking at your subscribers numbers and I am so inspired! It wasn’t that long ago you celebrated reaching 500K. You will be at a million this year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yesss 1M from your mouth to God’s ears ❤️✌🏾✊🏾🙏🏾😊
Amen!!
Amen. Claim it and it shall be done ✅
Amen!!!
Yes it is. I'm starting my own channel and it is very inspiring. Fumi is a beautiful example to follow.
I have a HUGE respect for Katt Williams , and I pray for his safety . The whole of entertainment industry is on blast now
Like Katt said God's people aren't that few. God is on his side and he will remain under His protection
I'm glad for this time we're in and I'm thankful for Katt and Taraji. Oprah is finally getting a taste of her own damn medicine. She loves to tarnish reputation with false allegations. I'll never forgive Oprah for doing that disgusting interview with that trash Megan Markle and the lies about baby's skin color. Oprah put that interview on an international -- global -- stage -- like a grenade went off and started a war of words over racism and it all pointed to the late Queen Elizabeth II who at the time was in her 90's, and her husband was on his deathbed and Oprah did that and didn't give a damn. Oprah can go to hell with the Color Purple because nobody gives a shit.
Katt will be just fine. Pray for those he outed.
Same here. ❤
🙏
Am I missing something? How is Oprah coming for Katt? As for the CP musical I agree it shouldn't have been made. Tired of black trauma. Also tired of remakes.
🎯 Amen.
Tired of always being potrayed as poor, uneducated, drug dealers, or slaves.
If it's anything about Black struggle, poverty, or slavery, then I have zero interest. If it wasn't for my 80+ mother wanting to see CP in a private screening that I had access to, I would NOT have gone. I need to see Black people fighting dragons and traveling the galaxies!
It wouldn't surprise me if the remake was done with nefarious intentions ie. to keep division strong and of course to take MORE money from the gullible.
Ditto! Well said.
Aunty Fumi, you look soooooo beautiful and regal with you natural hair. I just love it!
Elegant.
I have never been a fan of Oprah growing up... my instincts. something about her has always been off. What was Oprah's salary as the producer?! Exactly, Spielberg never wanted to touch the movie but Oprah insisted. Taraji did interviews and she honestly answered the questions asked. She made decisions to speak the truth of what was going on with her. No one should be punished for speaking the truth because the real of the world does not like it. Fumi, I love your reviews, Taraji only answered the questions asked, and she opted to just be honest.
Okay how is this Oprah's fault or responsibility to negotiate the pay of the actresses? Taraji has a team who should be handling this. Why did she take this role if it was not paying what she is worth? She could have said no to the salary and the movie.
@@shaylove3786 Her relatives said she embellished her poor upbringing and made up stories about sexual abuse to boost her ratings in Kitty Kelly's biography. I don't trust her. She's a snake. Have you ever wondered why she's the only black female billionaire in Hollywood? That's cos she loves being the only one at the top. Mo'Nique won an Oscar for her role in Precious, she only got paid $50,000. Who were the Producers? Oprah, Tyler Perry & Lee Daniels. She kicked off when she was asked to promote the film at her own expense. They blackballed her 'cos of that. They just love being at the top suppressing other black artists. Shame on them.
@@shaylove3786It's very easy to say "why did you take a raw deal when you knew what it was?" But how many have the luxury of turning down a job when it can literally put food on the table and cover those bills and debt that are weighing you down currently? I know what that's like so no, I emphatically disagree with that way of thinking. The reality is, a lot of people that are better off and in positions of power enjoy their privileges and abuse subordinates in the workplace. In most cases we don't have recourse and just have to swallow our pride and accept 10 cents instead of $50. It's my current workplace nightmare
Same....plus she was real good "buddies" with that EVIL John of God.
I tried to watch the original Color purple with my 85 year old Mother and she just couldn’t watch it for long. It’s so hurtful to see the oppression and it bringing up memories for her and those feelings for a women born 1938. She just said she doesn’t like seeing it 😔 so it didn’t need to be remade. And a musical doesn’t make a dark period lighter. 🤷🏽♀️
Yes, I don't watch those type of movies....I don't understand the obsession 🤔
At Christmas time! Happy Holidays, let's watch a movie on black misery.
I agree!!!!
@@mommynab😂❤I saw the movie: no lies told here.😅
This comment! I can’t understand the need for a remake? But Hollywood prefers to see black victims instead of black victors.
I think that,that was what Monique was trying to say that Oprah is one of the producers. She should have protected the cast, especially if all of them were hand-picked. She is not as innocent as she looks.
Her and them other producers.
Exactly 💯 she has never been innocent as she tries to come off.
Exactly 💯
Including Quincy Jones?
If your child can’t read it’s bad parenting. My daughter is a Gen Z and she is a voracious reader. What does that have to do with anything??? Katt is no authority on how to produce a musical film. But, I do agree that making another version of The Color Purple was doomed from the start because we have better things to go spend our limited funds on.
He was nervous and kept self soothing motions throughout The whole interview… He is the bravest famous person Ever for it and I love him for it🥰 Thank You Fumi for covering it
Great observation.
I saw that too and did not know what to make if it. But self suiting is the pefect word to describe it. Thank you
On rewind…🥰
New Subscriber.
Love!🥰
Katt woke up on January 1st, and said “this is the year” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that man is first of all fuuuuuuuunnny. His body language, the tone of his voice 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that Fendi jacket and hat😂😂😂😂😂, am tiiiiiired.
I had no idea that Katt was as honest and upfront as he is. He makes so much sense and people need to take notice. I am proud that he is man enough to speak the truth with proof to back everything up. His mention of teachers touched my heart. I was a teacher for over 30 years. The pay is terrible, the kids are challenging, and the retirement is lousy, yet we teach because we love our children and realize that they are our future. I hope Katt continues to tell his truth and pray that he will be safe as he is dealing with some powerful and vengeful people.
Kat Williams has been for the 20yrs been speaking out about Hollywood!!!
Auntie I remember seeing you with less than 30k and thinking how does she not have more subscribers.
So inspired by your success! ❤
I stop caring about Oprah yearssssssss ago. Her interview “about” Michael Jackson with those white guys was not necessary. Micheal had been gone for 8 years and she decided to have a conversation “about” him with them. She has not said one word in defense for (her friend) Harvey Weinstein victims. And her interview with Tony Braxton was uncalled for. The interview with Harry and Meghan was for Oprah not them. Oprah has been for Oprah and the powers that be for quite sometime. It goes w/o saying she would have not done this to a cast of white actors/actresses. Love you Fumi❤❤❤ Keep up the good work. You are fabulous.
Oprah is "Skum" she should pack up and leave town. She is a Disgrace to our race. 😢
Oprah isn't as bad as you think. WE, BEING HUMAN ALL SUFFER FROM OUR HUMAN FRAILTIES
No matter how much Oprah is exposed you can’t convince black women of a certain age that she is a horrible person.
Don't be so hard on Oprah, bc Stedman is kept and his taste is getting more expensive, bc what she can afford. It's ashamed, she never had a man. Bc guys that are kept are just a male, bc heavy complexion men don't be kept!!!
Do not forget the interview of Dave Chapelle. She went into the interview with an agenda to paint a negative picture of Dave. It was very disturbing to watch.
I did not interpret Kat's comment as something against Oprah. To me, he thinks Oprah will be the next person on the Shay Shay show being interviewed, and 'that's going to be at a dimension that had never been'.
I agree what you said. That's exactly what he meant. I think some of Katt's intellect went over Shannon's head. It was still a great interview. Great comment.
I felt the same. I didn't hear anything from Kat's interview against Oprah either, so I am a bit confused.
This was my interpretation also. I watched the entire interview and some of the outtakes.
Oprah won't come because Katt has established it as a place for truth to be told.
I love your take on this situation!
Also, you are immaculate in your delivery, such class and poise.
Fumi I love all of your content… but your breakdown of Katt and all the receipts has my undivided attention❤ I love me some Katt Williams
Most of us are a classy group on Fumi's channel. I'm glad that we are making her proud about our comments. People are trying to blame Tariji for the movie flopping. But truth be told, a lot of us black people don't want to see it and it will only appeal to a certain number of peope within other races. So how much money did they expect for this to make? As a black Caribbean woman, I had no wish to see this at all even when people kept talking about its release. And then with young people fighting over Stanley cups, how much of them would be interested in this movie?
As a black Caribbean woman I concur with your comment. This is why I am a part of fumi nation. I concur with you @lpgiber
Us younger folks do not want to erase the past. There is an awareness amongst us. But we want to feel uplifted, celebrated and educated when we enter the room.
Tarji P gave everyone especially the younger sisters a valuable lesson .....there is a time and place for everything. Even the Bible says this......"
you cannot show up to work ( mad at what happened the day before) with three cuts in eyebrows trying to wild out😅".
Do what you're contracted to do and go home. Next movie, you clean house and renegotiate.
😂@ fighting for Stanley cups and or stealing $3000 worth of them ( it was on my local news of a woman who did just that ).
@ameliaoze6462 I am a Carribean woman as well and am part of Fumination a long time.
She did all the press work unlike Monique. In addition, Taraji spoke about in private and as usual sisters betray and put you on blast. What folks can't see is that: Gayle and Oprah do interviews for $$$$. Not to bless you. It's simple, money talks and adjective walks. She did the same to Prince Harry.
Note: Oprah mentioned "the studio, the studio, the studio."
Taraji doesn't have to work anymore if she so desires. She has plenty of $$$$$.
I knew the movie was going to flop. Black Americans supported it and said it was a hot mess. Colmin Domingo will never be Danny Glover.
That!!!
I have no desire to see the movie. I saw the original and that was enough for me. Oprah has found someone she can’t intimidate and she is angry. My advice Oprah, don’t send for Katt because he will show up. Oprah, you would not have treated white actresses that way. Taraji had the right to speak her peace. Oprah was never my hero and she was not that nice. The way she treated Toni Braxton, Whitney, the Jackson’s, etc. was not nice. Now she’s blaming Warner Bros. for the problems on set. She is what we call nasty nice…
I am so proud of you Fumi! You read the feedback, took it all in, and looked at the situation with fresh eyes. You hit it out the park with this commentary. Kudos!
Yes yes that is what I’m hearing now. She has back stepped and I love that too. But!!!!!! We all need to stop all these slave movies and plays. It’s enough already. Tired of them. You don’t see any Native American slave plays do you?!!!!???
@@skqq3250I don’t perceive Fumi “back stepped.” Part of the reason TCP flopped is because not enough people wanted to see it. But, there going to blame Taraji for their losses, not Oprah!
We BEEN KNEW this about Oprah. Oprah has never been about addressing issues that affect black people. TCP is just a “pet project” for her.
As Katt suggested, Oprah is one of those people who is paid to NOT talk about black issues. So, there is absolutely NO reason for us to expect her to look out for black actors. Her history in the business tells us that.
And we BEEN KNRW Hollywood underpays black actors. But, that doesn’t change the fact that Taraji’s team dropped the ball in negotiations. NEVER rely on someone to act out of the “kindness of their heart” when money is on the line. ESPECIALLY not Oprah!
Taraji is justified in her complaint. But, she shot herself in the foot by bringing it up at the WRONG time.
I agree with you Fumi...
I saw the movie 🎬, but it should have been left alone SERIOUSLY 😔
And that's why they black movies don't make money. They keep throwing these types of films on us. But how can Bad Boys continue to be a successful franchise? Because it's not about black people being repressed and enslaved.
Fumi, you are going straight to 1 million!
I make a mantra one phrase you said... "it is not a loss. It was a lesson! You thought it was a loss, It was a lesson!!" ... sometimes life is very difficult... we try to make small steps. Thank you very much!!❤❤❤
For me, the color of purple was very depressing and those type of movies do not appeal to me as originals much less as remakes. I watched the original once at the movies and I felt as if I was being punished - being that I was "trapped" (I was a child and couldn't leave). At any rate, I haven't watched it since and I have no intentions of watching any current and/or future remakes.
That being said, it broke my heart to see Taraji in tears over her salary... The older I get the more I lose respect for the entertainment industry...it's 2024 and still people are having to deal with inequalities due to the color of ones skin...and not just anyone...it's Taraji - shes a freaking superstar... (I am just going to leave it there)
I agree. It’s harsh and there’s nothing calming about that movie. I think once is enough
I agree- we needs a new movie with the traumatic theme
@@bten-pow2095How about a romantic comedy like Vivica Fox produces?
Period.....❤❤❤❤
I love the way you explain things with pose . Not biased-just wholesome truth. I’m at home on this channel. Mrs. Fumi your amazing.
Ms. Fumi!!! I absolutely adore you. You are such a lady full of class, and refinement. I love your content, and I think that you are spot on with whatever you are talking about. From fashion to trending topics. I remember when I first saw you on UA-cam and you were doing a podcast on how to walk in heels. I was super impressed and I’ve been hooked ever since. Keep doing what you’re doing. Your personality is so refreshing, and the fact that you are a married lady and a family woman speaks volumes. I can tell that you are thinking woman. I am super impressed with you. God bless you doll.❤️
Your skin is flawless! You always look Beautiful!
We really didn't need another The Color Purple, the first one was a Gem and Queen 👑 Fumi, your conservative is on point 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💐
The musical movie was well put together and I loved it. My husband who is not really in to those type of movies, and didn’t see the first color purple enjoyed the movie as well. It was a really good movie!! 💜💜💜
@@teeburdtalks I don't recall me saying it wasn't a good movie so what are you saying? 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
The original was trash propaganda. And the fact that you negros don't understand this is sad. So the fact that Oprah made this movie again should have you fuming! But no. It's ok to paint a negative picture of black men. Smh. The plantation mindset is strong with you people!
Well balanced and well said, Auntie Fumi ❤
Great content! Well spoken on this situation......perfect storm!
Sista Fumi you are rocking that fabulous short natural hair 😍 so well 💕. Loving it!
I couldn’t agree with you more!!!
I’ve always loved Katt! The number one reason is he’s always the same! Be it him doing comedy or when speaking his truth.
Many are finding out that he too experienced a lot just like Taraji.
When you examine all the people who were so called targeted in his Club Shay Shay interview ….he had a long history with these folks. It wasn’t random…he wasn’t under the influence of alcohol…which he clearly let Shannon Sharpe know.😂😂😂
This was clearly something he gave a lot of thought to. It was planned and executed to perfection.
The actions of these people clearly hurt him very deeply at some point and the time finally arrived for him to clear the air.
It took a lot of courage…he’s been through a lot! I for one have a lot of respect for him and send prayers up for the ancestors to surround him and his family with their love and protection.
His actions were powerful…he was speaking for many who felt that they couldn’t speak up for themselves without ruining their careers.
I appreciate you Fumi for discussing this topic and other great topics on your platform.
Many Blessings ❤️🙏🏾❤️
Yes, Fumi! I agree. After your last video I said that we as black people are tired of this non-affirming content of "black mammies" we don't need another Color Purple movie and this, in my opinion, is why the movie is a flop!
I totally agree. Plus, who besides a few black people would have been interested in this around the world? They looking for it to flop.
Amen ❤
IMO the movie was beautifully done!!! I didn’t hear any complaints about it being done on broadway. I think Taraji’s truth was HER truth and no one should try to take it away from her. If you don’t like it, fine, but I say we need to support our Black Actors and Actresses.
Who was the audience on a Broadway? Was it black women?
Yes, she should be next. Much respect for Katt.
One of the best things for me following the Katt Williams interview is Finding your channel💙✨🦋💯
Sis, I love this color on you. It is one of my favs for me too.
HI FUMI, YOU HAD A MEET GREET DINNER FOR YOU FUMI NATION AND YOU MADE SURE EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. OPRAH SHOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME💗🕊
Excellent commentary & you always bring it with truth & class 👏
Fumi, you are so pretty with your hair like that. It showcases your incredible cheekbones and your hair is healthy and beautiful. I look forward to you growing your hair longer and seeing what you are going to do with all that beautiful natural hair
Thanks Fumi for contributing to the truth about who can and does exploit their workers.
🔥over 2 decades now, I have been deep down this rabbit hole. Oprah’s name has come up many many times as a handler and groomer. Oprah is very dangerous. Why? Because she comes across as your friend and will win you over with presents and her kindness and so called caring but…..once you accept that from her you owe her. You owe her for life! She gathers rich and famous around her so when she needs favors…..YOU OWE HER! She is vile disgusting and worse she is dangerous!!!! 🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
She did MM no favor! It was not a safe space,
She’s not dangerous. Stop being afraid of people who can kill your body but not your soul. She will burn in the lake of fire just like her counterparts that house demons. Trust me- as GOD’s daughter- Oprah’s day is coming.
It’s amazing how you bring up the term groomer because her show is actually what educated the public.
Been saying this for years! Well said.
She has this dark energy around her, too. There’s something unsettling about her.
Thank you Fumi, very ill advised. No one in this season wants to revisit the CP
You're speaking the truth ❤love it
You nailed it Fumi! I totally agree with everything you said.❤
Agree 💯 %. Let’s see more stories about Black, Brown, Asian excellence! Let’s show the upcoming generations what they can aspire to and strive for. Teach them how they got here, and the history and horrors. But, also show them everything they can achieve if they prepare and work for it.
OREO/OKRA never tried to help. SHE WAS KISSING UP TO WARNER BRO'S 😂😂
If having a car, driver, security, trailer, and craft services are standard on all movie productions then there wouldn't be nothing for Oprah to fix if it was in place to begin
It seems like this is a created caste/class system that’s been around since the beginning. The disrespect seems to be done on purpose much like raci$m and so many other gender di$criminatory practices.
Can't believe they didn't get fed!!
I agree with you aunty Fumi, black people are tired of the negative narrative holding us back. We want inspiration and positivity 🌸
Thanks!
I am a firm believer in time and place but there comes a time when bad treatment creates frustration and people lash out. That's what Taraji did. She just got fed up of being treated horribly and moreso from one of her own. It wasn't me and I am highly disappointed in Oprah. There have been times when ALL of us were in similar situations and upon reflection realized we should've handled things differently. But as I like to say, that is how it was supposed to pan out. I am glad with the way ALL of this was revealed. As we say in the Caribbean, it is bad when other dogs bite you, you can deal with that. But when your own dog bites you, you feel that one to your soul and you've got to put a stop to it. Taraji just put a stop to it and I support her 10000%. Well done my dear. Oprah embarrassed Taraji publicly by treating her like that, so Oprah got what she gave......PUBLIC HUMILIATION AND EMBARRASSMENT. Ain't that fun when the rabbit got the gun huh!!
And the award goes FUMI🥳🙌..you are an awesome human being..in everything you do❤. May God continue to bless your sweet soul🙏🙏😇😇🥳🥳💯💯🤗🤗🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🤍💚❤💛
lovely in orange - Fumi
WOW! THATS THE MOST HONEST SENSIBLE THING IVE EVER SEEN ABOUT THIS IN FIGHTING. YOU GAVE YOUR OPINIONS AND ADVICE WHICH ALL WERE SPOT ON! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER HEARD YOU AND IM SO IMPRESSED. I THINK IF OPRAH SLIDES OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT FOR ONCE SWEETNESS,I THINK,AND IM SURE THOUSANDS WOULD AGREE THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE OVER THE ONCE TRUSTED OPRAH SHOW AS IVE NEVER HEARD SUCH HONESTY, AND WELL THOUGHT COMMENTS FROMANYONE ELSE! YOU HAVE JUST MADE A FAN! GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOU DO. xx.
I agree with you Ms. Fumi!!!!
❤ my Darling Fumi, you are wise beyond measure ❤️. Your commentaries are teachable moments. Thank you 🙂❤
Thanks Fumi, I appreciate your analysis of "Gate Keepers". This perfect storm...gurl, you shed light on the significance of Oprah's decision to remake the Color Purple as out of touch. I am currently engaged in establishing an Elders Council in my small community cause we older visionary people do not have a good sense of the young folks wishes, dreams and their Value to community. You conveyed a wise use of energy for Oprah to micro manage the production knowing she was changing the culture. Oprah must demand alignment with her, not vice versa. We can't be lazy leaders. Oprah will grow significantly from this experience so thank you Fumi for your brilliance, value system, principles and love for the beautiful.
I just discovered your channel and I do agree with you on the remaking of color purple wasn’t needed
Fumi, I think you're so right. Oprah should've looked out for her cast and advocated for them when it came to speaking to Warner Bros. This musical was not for this generation of today. This generation is not into sad, gloomy, and slavery stories such as this and Roots.
MUCH RESPECT TO KIT and to you Fumi
Hello Fumi❤❤❤..
I'm loving the hair 😍 YESSSSSS 👍🏾👍🏾
U gave the best honest mature take on the Oprah issue i have heard thus far. U got a subscriber right here.
I love ❤️🔥love❤️🔥love the natural hair💋
Me too. These sisters now days with those tired braids overdone and not cared for down to the knees. No nothing about culture either. Only a convenience and copying.
Well said, it is indeed a perfect storm. It was meant to be. God is completely at work. I pray that the bright light of God can shine in all the dark places of the world.
I'm so happy u see it this way, Fumi. The movie should've never been remade, especially as a musical. Additionally, like so many black people, I don't trust Oprah. I have watched her bask in the demise of black entertainers while supporting the worst of "them folk."
I wholeheartedly agree with that last part, however, I thought it was done beautifully. I say if they can do a remake of any movie and do it as good as this was done, why not? Our 18 year olds can vote, so if they don’t learn our history, by any means necessary, how can they ever become leaders? Every time I see djtRump on TV now, they’re making sure that stooopid ssa tim scott is standing right behind him grinning, when he knows how absolutely racist this clown is towards our people and anyone who doesn’t look wyte. How will our children ever learn, because they’re d@mn sure not learning true history about our people in our schools. Everything in the movie, except for the dancing and the successful business, I’ve personally seen in my own life. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and every movie isn’t for everyone, but I think the actors should have been treated as well as other actors……IF…..you know what I mean.😉
Katt is protected even by the Feds, and we love him for his honesty. Good segment, Fumi! God gets the glory in the end. Never forget that people.
After experiencing the trauma of COVID19, I think, generally, people just need a solid feel good movie.
Losing my beloved adopted mom during a Covid19 surge, though not from Covid, I feel this comment. It’s been ongoing devastating living in her absence along with others including my beloved father amongst others.💔 I personally never cared for, The Color Purple and have no interest in these type of films, or series etc. Let alone anything else, personally triggering as I’m mourning & in bereavement…💔
Yes!!! Especially black happy movies with happy endings too and some magic.
Congrats Fumi on 702K subscriber's. Well done😊 cheryl
Ms. Beautiful Fumi!
First of all, you look heavenly! The fit, the make up, and the hair are all on fire!!!🔥 🤩
Secondly, I have learned in big and small businesses that the majority of the time, the people at the top of the pyramid do not care about anything unless it directly affects them.
Sadly, they seem to never care about the foundation workers at the bottom! The foundation is the most important part.
But when they start to get affected, when things are not right as it directly relates to them, then you see things happen. Its so very sad. 😞
I really felt the passion in your words and heard what you spoke. I got teary eyed. This was a great segment.
Hi Fumi, did you believe that Katt's comment about Oprah was negative? I think, in context, that he was joking with Shannon saying that Oprah would be running to be Shannon's interview guest on the platform. Just saying.
Exactly.
I agree. He wasn’t attacking Oprah.
Your natural hair is the best
I’ve been dealing with this my entire career! I’m almost 60 years old and always low balled on salaries and recognition! I’ve been harassed to nauseam! I’m so traumatized I had to give it up 😢
Yes, it happens in any career, not just acting.
Agree it can happen in any career. But for a whole career. Sounds like a "you" problem if it has happened your whole career. Of course if your career was professional victim you can consider yourself a success. Always look on the bright side! Find that silver lining.
@@jenaoaks7742 wow! You just confirmed my original statement
Thank you GOD said❤
Yassss!!!! Fumi, you said it all. When i heard they were remaking this movie, I was upset and hoped that no one turned out to see it and it came through. We need a long break from all the struggle and slavery films of black people. We are tired!!! We want to see black women and girls living happy, carefree, healthy, and wealthy on the big screens
Yassssssss Sis!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Great commentary.
Watching from the USA!! 🇺🇸
I saw Taraji recently on TV as a rep for some undergarment. Happy for her that she got that gig 💕💕
Ms Fumi, Great analysis of this on going fued, of the remake of the Color Purple! It's about time for everyone to see, just how Hollywierd works! Much Respect!
My question is: as a producer and financial backer, how did she not know? A lot of things Taraji was asking for and the other actors were complaining about are STANDARD in other actors contracts of the same or lesser caliber. Oprah show2d us who she really is and has been showing us for decades. It's time we believe her.
Hey there Beautiful Auntie Fumi…I saw every second…enlightening to say the least‼️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
They should have left The Color Purple back in that timeline...Stop with the oppression for Black Women. DAMN. It's 2024!
Period
Thank you 🙏🏾 we are all in this together,
Taraji did it the way it was meant to be done for her! It’s good that she didn’t drop any names regarding the target of her grievances.
It worked out for her! She will not loose a single thing behind it!
She has been trending every since, just like Katt!
What happened to Taraji was an outrage to African Americans progress.
I’m not the only one praying 🙏🏾 for her increase!
Oprah knows, she’s wrong. Better fix it! Nonsense!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉
Nice sentiment, but Taraji is DONE in Hollywood. You can take that to the bank. 😂
@@tonyareed5083 facts
Fumi, we love you!
Love you as always. Fumi Nation is right, that black people are seriously into black positivity, that's why the Wakanda movies were so phenomenally supported. Also agree with you 100% about Oprah's culpability. Yes too, the cast should have been treated as royalty.
thank you so much Fumi for speaking the truth, and only the truth, and for stepping out for the truth. Truth always wins. Just like kindness. you are an inspirational woman. and I so highly praise you, for that you are just one strong and amazing woman who stands for the truth. Love you very very much.
Fumi, I really believe people just weren't interested this movie. The studios misread the signs, nobody to blame, clearly, it's not a story the majority of people wanted to go to the theater to watch in 2023. The world has changed since the original movie came to the screen in 1985. I read Alice Walker's book, I saw the 1985 adaptation and what they included from the book in the movie in the 80's caused a stir and people flocked to theaters. It's a different world now.
ABSOLUTELY Fumi I agree !! ❤
The musical movie was well put together and I loved it. It wasn’t depressing. It was a story of forgiveness & redemption. My husband who is not really in to those type of movies, and didn’t see the first color purple enjoyed the movie as well. It was a really good movie!! 💜💜💜
Unpopular opinion. I/we enjoyed it as well.
I loved it!
I didn't see The Color Purple musical movie. I saw the original film and the Broadway musical. I know many people who enjoyed it. However, I am one who is over it. Nonetheless, I respect you all for disagreeing. To each her own. I spent my Christmas movie money to see American Fiction. Few are talking about it, but I profess: it was an Oscar winning movie for me.
I LOVED The Color Purple too!💜💜💜
I loved it too. Very well done.
You are right on! Over and above, from the beginning 👍
Taraji P. should have reported her problems regarding the poor conditions and treatment to her team (which includes her agent, manager and/or attorney) and not to the producer (Oprah).
The protocol is for the talent/artist is supposed to report any compliant issues or grievances to their team and not to the producers or studio.
Instead, her legal team and/or agent is supposed to settle such matters, because that’s what they’re paid to do.
It’s clear that Taraji tried to handle it herself instead of letting her team do their job.
Taraji should have not returned to the set until her team and the producers had resolved all of the issues.
Exactly!!!! Above and beyond!!!! The absolute best!!!!
I agree with you Fumi, it is the perfect storm. Everything exactly as it should be. I am happy that Katt commented. Who else was going to do it? Like you said he is not indebted to Hollywood. He is his own entity. It had to be done. There is never going to be a right time to bring up these issues. I will govas far as saying that Taraji spoke up exactly the right time, when n it has the most impact even though it was at a risk. Everyone understands money. If she hadn't and waited until the movie past and became a box office hit, the vicious cycle would have started again. Everything is out in the open and all eyes are now on the powers that be including Oprah. Oprah is a handler and that is why this falks into her lap and reflects poorly on her.
Great segment, Fumi. Absolutely.
I’m still waiting to hear what Kat Williams said that was negative about Oprah. I’ll wait!!!
Me too. Katt probably said some truths with embellishments about others. He sounded rather bitter. Sorry but not sorry for my opinion
No apologies about your opinion. Everyone is creating drama out of thin air for ratings and content. It's the world we live in now.
You nailed this Fumi‼️💯🎯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✌🏾❣️
I agree that this film should've never been "reimagined". A whole new story that has nothing to do with the Color Purple should've been created . I don't think that all is to blame on T. I think this movie appealed to a small demographic fan group. It's a shame because they worked very hard and had high hopes for this project to be successful. You look beautiful Mz. Fumi!
Well said Fumi!!
At the end of the day, the public does not really know what was going on behind the scenes with this production. The Monday morning quarterbacking is the easiest thing in the world to do. I am not the biggest Oprah fan but she appears to be the easiest one to dump on. It is not Oprah's job to micro-manage the actors contracts. That is what their management is for. Taraji has already acknowledged that she had to fire her management for poor performance. Yes, Oprah, because of her influence could have and apparently did, right some of the shortcomings during production but as much as we like to believe we know everything happening behind the scenes, we don't.
💯
@fumii keep the short black hair you look in ure 20's... fresh glowing......love the hair for you ❤❤
You Fumi darling are a diplomat! I like how you shed light on what the truth of the matter is! Who reinventes the wheel? Besides the only person making money on this is Spielberg 😢 and nope didn’t waste my time seeing the movie. The original color purple was musical enough!
Queen you are really talking that talk the truth from aQueen. God bless you 🙏🏾🎙🎼💁🏾
Fumi you look so pretty ❤
Always.
Agreed, no more depressing, Color Purple-esq entertainment. So very tired...
I truly liked the adaptation. In fact, I loved it. If I am completely honest, the original was depressing and too heavy for me, especially as a child. Fantasia said it best when she explained why she agreed to do the movie. She stated that Celie was able to dream. That’s what I mostly enjoyed about the movie.
I agree! I took the time to actually watch the movie and I LOVED it too!!! T
Same here. Yes, I left the theater in tears, however, they were happy tears. I absolutely loved it all the way through. The ending was a happy ending, just as the original was. I think more people should see it, and see it as it is and NOT comparing it with the first one. It’s funny how people complain about how there’s no good Black movies, because now they have so many choices. These actors worked hard for the little bit of money they were paid. There’s wyte actors who are millionaires today from doing waaaay less, and we all know why. They have the support of their people, they have sponsors, commercials, fan clubs etc. Anyway, it seems like a lot of y’all don’t know what a good movie really is, or how to support our Black actors who are out here for our Blactertainment. Great commentary, as usual Fumi!!! 😉

@@shirleyvanarsdalecrabtree2880 this is a good perspective! Something else that other cultures do is adaptation of classic movies and they win Oscar’s for it. I’m sure there will always be those who prefer the original movie and that’s okay. But if we could try viewing this movie as a reimagining like it was intended to be, it may grow on some people.
I did see the movie and I thought the performances were great. Celie came into her own and got out of a bad situation. However I didn’t think we needed another remake of this movie. We have many stories that need to be told and I think the resources should be spent on doing them.
Auntie Fumi I love your take on this 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
