#LenaWaithe - Розваги
I understand the MeToo movement but I don't agree with taking every womans word at face value with no supporting evidence. That's a dangerous privilege that can destroy some innocent men.
Facts Sha
extremely Dangerous
well that’s feminism for you.in lesbianism and it’s getting worse.
Lena saying that comment was so toxic & dangerous. it's so many innocent black men in prison because of people simply believing women based off them being women.💯you need evidences to prove someone is guilty..
sha brown exactly I totally agree with you
Now everybody can see why even Jason Mitchell has no idea what he really did. Everybody thought he was lying but he was just clueless 😂😂😂😂
She did the same thing Lee Daniels did to Monique being black is always harder to stand up for the underdog but to be gay and black you dont have but a 1/2 leg to stand on so she keep saying i dont know what happen and i heard different truths of the story but then say i made sure my studio and workers would be safe yadi yadi whatever if you dont know "WHAT HAPPENED" what are you making safer or different and if you dont know real truth how can you build off of that she is a black butch that know that she is lucky to be at the table with the kids at showtime so she like she said didnt say nothing agreed like the good slave and rolled on and over jason to see her dream come true and now i know why this season 3 was the worst she had a hand in it it was a gay and lesbian show not the chi i dont like her i have never liked her and FYI i went to see queen and slim and it was butt and now i know why she wrote that crap great actors horrible story line
Exactly
Bitch what lol
I'm starting to feel that Charlemagne questions are coming from his own curiosity but disguises it with "They say".
😂
Always
Eye said the same thang
Thats a classic trick, you slow af
😂😂😂😂😂
Jason Mitchell's situation seems like the perfect recipe for what racism is, and black people will not defend each other as proven time and time again.
Agreed
She did the same thing Lee Daniels did to Monique being black is always harder to stand up for the underdog but to be gay and black you dont have but a 1/2 leg to stand on so she keep saying i dont know what happen and i heard different truths of the story but then say i made sure my studio and workers would be safe yadi yadi whatever if you dont know "WHAT HAPPENED" what are you making safer or different and if you dont know real truth how can you build off of that she is a black butch that know that she is lucky to be at the table with the kids at showtime so she like she said didnt say nothing agreed like the good slave and rolled on and over jason to see her dream come true and now i know why this season 3 was the worst she had a hand in it it was a gay and lesbian show not the chi i dont like her i have never liked her and FYI i went to see queen and slim and it was butt and now i know why she wrote that crap great actors horrible story line
Wasnt he accused of harassing someone or someone's?
Brandon was the BEST CHARACTER on the show..... I cried and/ or laughed at every scene that he was in ! Period ... he’s an incredible actor and I wish clear cut answers as to what he did on set could be answered
I don't think it will last without him. They are going to have to introduce a great new character to replace him.
Basically She Afraid to Stand up for Dude.. and She a Master of talking in Circles....and Said she GOTTA BELIEVE WOMEN...WOW.. thats the Right things to Say when You a Lesbians..unreal..Get fire no Reason..hmm..
As a victim of sexual assualt myself I stand with women too . However , I firmly disagree with men being accused of something and given no due process when it comes to any verbal or physical assualt . I also think that it is extremely difficult as a supporter of Jason to not continue to support him when we’ve been given NO ANSWERS as to the accusations made against him. All we know is that he made his female co star uncomfortable.. Wtf are we suppose to do with that ..?!
Rick Pugh smh that’s why I don’t like Lena as soon as I saw the last interview with ole dude and he said what she said. I was like nah that’s not a true friend. I need a friend to stand the heat against me with me, not walk away.
it's not her place to say what he did to someone else. if the victim gives her permission to talk about it that's a different story
“I was the one who told Lena not to talk in circles, but she didn’t listen.” TK Kirkland
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
TK is strong on the comments! 😅
DARK ETHEREAL 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️
TK don’t left Vlad and made his way over to breakfast club
😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly in a way it's kind of gonna be hard to watch the Chi without Brandon.
Visionary Records 💯 the show gone flop without him watch
How they killed him off without a lick of explanation! Like he was way too important to the show and as a character so I dont understand why they played him like that because he definitely deserved more
Yeah I gave up after the second episode. It just ain't the same without Brandon and reg
With out Brandon its over anyways
I still been watching and it leaves you waiting for the next episode
How y'all gonna have her on to interview about Queen & Slim but not watch the movie? There's no way you could do this interview justice without actually watching the movie.
And that movie was DOPE
OMG! So true! I stopped watching and watched other discussions of the film with interviewers who actually saw the doggone movie. God bless my sister Lena and her grace and patience in dealing with these appleheads....SMH
Because they weren’t worried about Queen & Slim...they wanted to talk about Jason.
the Jason Mitchell conversation starts at 13:13
You’re a blessing 🤗
Hold this 🏆
Good look fam
Thanks
ClapBack9 😂 You the truth lol
So jason got fired and nobody knows why? And nobody is coming forward to say what he supposedly did ... something is not right about whole situation.
L They know what he did he had sexual misconduct but this chick ignored the complaints all the way up till the Mexican chick hit him up with it them everybody dropped it bcuz they knew that Mexican girl could cause trouble like a white girl
Chuck Chilla how can he have sexual misconduct and the studio pays him to leave. Also this is the day in age of accusations lawsuits that girl or any girl would be a hero if they came after him . So this story doesn’t make sense
Yes none of it makes sense.
@@princeuvolesckoolbmovies5460 Nice try
JR DATrucker Big fax. He would NOT have been paid out if it was sexual misconduct.
It’s sad this man just got fired and “cancelled” but nobody can say what he did??
you do realize we never really know what someone did, its he say she say and both could be leaving out details based on their perspectives. BUT especially because THIS IS AMERICA do we really know anything???
He knows why and they know why!
She did the same thing Lee Daniels did to Monique being black is always harder to stand up for the underdog but to be gay and black you dont have but a 1/2 leg to stand on so she keep saying i dont know what happen and i heard different truths of the story but then say i made sure my studio and workers would be safe yadi yadi whatever if you dont know "WHAT HAPPENED" what are you making safer or different and if you dont know real truth how can you build off of that she is a black butch that know that she is lucky to be at the table with the kids at showtime so she like she said didnt say nothing agreed like the good slave and rolled on and over jason to see her dream come true and now i know why this season 3 was the worst she had a hand in it it was a gay and lesbian show not the chi i dont like her i have never liked her and FYI i went to see queen and slim and it was butt and now i know why she wrote that crap great actors horrible story line

@@Damapr77they wanted bro to bend over but he wasn’t going for it kudos to Jason !
All I heard was my money was on the line his ass had to get let go
Yourperfect Angel 😂💯😂
Yourperfect Angel happens everyday
Period lol
And she made the right call.
22:20 she comes out her mouth and says "I have to believe women" like SAYS WHO? Like women don't lie or stretch the truth. It should be about the facts and what can be proven. Not hearsay smh
Because so many women aren’t believed and don’t speak up. And in this case it seems like what was said was truthful otherwise dude would have a case for libel
Literally just heard her say that dumb shit
She has to take that stance to keep her position secured, in today’s climate.
And hopefully he won't work with her ever again, she sounds like an puppet.
I totally agree with this.
Why does she keep saying this will never happen on her set again when she says she doesn’t know what happened 🤔 that whole situation is strange.
Shes saying whatever they claimed happen, wont happen. People rarely commit crimes in front of people.
@@businessfarmersandeducator5529 Trust and believe if he committed a crime they would have indicted him.
This frustrates me to no end because it sounds like he did nothing but get lied on and fired. I don't believe all women because people lie and if you separate it by sex only then your not helping anyone. Due process is key, but she cool with me still.
T B what type of nigga is he if they not explaining anything
Bull shit
They demonized that black man but can’t tell us what he did
Unspoken Goddess **ZacTLy.!!!!!** 💯
Based on his interview it sounded like he didn't understand how to code switch. He went to the job and cussed ppl out when he was upset. He basically hadn't been told this is corporate you can't just go off on ppl looking extremely aggressive and making ppl nervous. They keep saying he was inappropriate but no one is coming out to say he touched them wrong.
Sounds on code to me...

@@TheAGODAMI I went to corporate at 19 and no on told me either and when a sales man tried to use me I cussed him out crazy. No one cared when I tried to explain what had happened because of how I had behaved. I learned from that day no matter how mad I got always go to the bathroom take a deep breath then write a detail email, then call your friend and read it to them so they can help you calm down even more.
I can't finish watching this interview, believing a person's claim because they're a woman is problematic.
I graduated with a film degree. Getting a start in this industry is tough especially for me suffering bipolar dep. and social anxiety. I admire this woman so much. 2020 is going to my year. I'm going to defeat this shit!
Especially hard because at the end of the day, a degree isn't required
Yes you will brother....I will definitely keep you lifted in prayer and God will definitely bless you beyond measure
There is no such thing as a productive simp. Just an fyi. Also, there's a reason why people like parading around and celebrating self professed weakened black men. I know I'm not the only one noticing this trend.
GoodFilms28 we’re in it together 💪🏾 you got this! I’m starting a production company...I also live with bipolar dep., anxiety and panic attacks so I know first hand the strength you have for still going after your purpose...your experience will make your art better...I’ll see you at the film festivals and Oscars ❤️
@@bnwo What's your problem?
Home girl said “I was not there.” “But that will not be tolerated.” NDA’s must’ve been signed. Cause neither side is keeping it a stack.
If tht was truly the case why didn't either one of them just say that.
PettyMurphy956 him mentioning he signed a NDA if he did could potentially constitute a breach of his NDA so therefore he doesn’t mention it
Right I’m super confused! She’s lying. How don’t you know what happened but you have to keep your sets safe from “this”... confusion
It’s hard to watch the Chi without Brandon. He was a very important part of the show and made the show watchable. His role, his contribution to that show was refreshing. I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS SHOW BECAUSE IT’S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT JASON MITCHELL....LOSS OF A FAN🤷🏽♀️
Donna Walden for me his role was only story I was interested in🙄
U watched it all stop lyin! The show got even greater
@@themandinkafamily How are you going to tell me what I did?!
I said that I wasn’t and I didn’t...enough said. You’re dismissed...
Get a life...if you can.
@@donnawalden7386 you ain’t miss nothing. This show has gone to shit.
" I have to believe women "
How about you believe the truth??
✊🏾👌🏾
That's right.
Right 💯
@Sharon Tate Men have been abusive since forever
Way to go though
Right?! I’m a woman and that was fucked up
She implied he did something wrong to a Black woman.
Then say she wasn't there.
Stop implying his dismissal was because he did something wrong!
You noticed that too huh 🤔
This is about the 5th interview I've seen mentioning Jason Mitchell's "incident" and I still don't know what he did SMH
PMG Radio Lena doesn’t either lol everyone lying
Chile nobody knows
@twistedblktrekie .. nah.. there's no way he would have done the interview.. maybe she got paid off because she has yet to do an interview regarding this.... but not him.. and I don't think she got paid I think she's not doing the interview about it because nothing happened.. and no one wants to get sued for defamation.. I believe all of this is he say she say blown out of proportion. back office rumor talk and once it start blowing up on social media the company had to take Swift action in today's society or be looked at how people are looking at Jason.. so for them they had to sacrifice Jason.. the show's audience it's mostly females and LGBT (they gone make the fat kid gay on the show) so they had to show how tough they are on males even if it's no proof and just all rumors and everybody involved is saying nothing happened..
@twistedblktrekie . no he not gay... what I'm saying is wait... lol.. it's coming... a gay ran show with no gay people in it.. in 2019.. shiiiid... lol... .
again.. nothing happened.. or they would have said what happened.. .. he is nobody that powerful to keep it all hush-hush secret like this.. if something happened.. people would talk.... and as far as the Netflix movie.. between that and the chi.. people would be doing interviews.. that's because they know if they do talk and it turns out to be a lie.. he will sue their ass for defamation... .. and the same thing happened on Netflix. "he say she say" over social media led to them taking action.. they had to in this climate.. .
@Ewarton Charlton nah.. again.. the NDA would have prevented him from even doing that interview.. .. it would have not allowed him to talk around the issue.. .. truth be told ... nothing happened.. the company overreacted off rumors in order to save face in today's anti non feminine male environment . and now that the smoke has cleared and the company sees that they over reacted.. everyone is at the crossroads of confusion.....
So it's been almost 2 weeks since she did this interview & 3 weeks since Jason Mitchell did his & she said she didn't know what happened but she have to believe women, then she says the thing about intimacy coaches just for people to still keep in their minds the sexual allegations but yet none of the victims come out & say nothing not he knows he lying in twitter or something. I'm starting to believe my self that he didn't want to bow down to them & at the time he was having anger issues so he would just lash out when they tried him & they just didn't like it.
Key statement she said "I have to believe woman" Jason was a sitting duck. He wasn't going to win in that situation
Lena: “not taking no from a white person”
“I want to fight for black people”
Charlemagne: what happen with Jason Mitchell?
Lena: “the studio wanted to fire him, so I said ok”
She still talking in circles
TiNa Marie she’s virtue signaling, which is what everyone does these days. Also what’s with the assumption that all the studio heads are white?
@@scerb100 Be serious, most of the people working behind the scene is white.
Onyrobrec cause they are white, unless it’s Tyler Perry.
I dont even think she realizes anything she is saying because she doesnt know what to say so she just talking to talk.
All skinfolk ain't kinfolk. 🤷🏿♀️
Don’t nobody know nothin, huh? (Nino Brown-New Jack City)
Or (Maritn Lawrence) Looool
Natasha Lee 😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmfao!!!! Duh Duh man? Keisha?
TKOMGdotnet 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
She’s managed the fine art of saying something but ultimately saying nothing.
home girl can create global warming with that meaningless babble. so much gas came out of her mouth .
Same when she was on here before. Babbling
That's impressive when there's nothing to say or in control comedy.
Justin Grant well put
If that's the case she's on the right show for it. Breakfast Club excels at talking loud and saying nothing :) I disagree though she said what needed to be said. I feel like there's some bandwagon jumping going on at the moment regarding this woman and anti Black British actors sentiment. Meanwhile there's a child rapist white filmmaker who is still held in high esteem but some black people are queuing up to fling negativity on this woman.
(First 3 minutes) - Talks about Queen & Slim
Envy: “Now let’s talk about Queen & Slim”
I literally laughed out loud
“This will never happen on my set again” ...................
“I don’t even know what happened”
Steven Bishop Yup...Lies!
"I hired a black lesbian woman of color"
Translation: The incident that allegedly happened would never happen again on a project I'm involved with but being just and allegation I can't speak on exact details nor do I know any of the particulars.
Simple.
She makes sense as far as the industry goes. That had to do more with her lack of control. The studio could make the move and then tell her after the fact. They are her bosses, she not that high on the pyramid. The more she becomes an EP the more control she will gain. Now shes a bigger player in the industry. So when contracts are negotiated she will own a bigger slice. In turn she will be in control of preventing that situation when shes more at the top of that pyramid.
Women of color is the only solution 😒
Insane ... She didn't have that same energy over the phone. Now, she "wasn't there." Poor Jason.
Nobody feel bad for him
Yea Im not an advocate for sexual abuse, but when she said its my job to believe all women, thats kind if a risky thing to say, like with out facts or even knowing what happened.
What exactly did he do ? Anybody know
Nike281 Astro the only thing he admitted to was having anger issues and not dealing with work conflicts in the appropriate way
Nobody :
Nobody Ever :
Dj Envy : “for the people who don’t know ...” 😂
NayNay M Youre not funny at all stop it
Hilarious 😂
Professors need to use this video on "what talking in circles sounds like."
Or video dictionary...
Lena Sold the show . Lost all creative control ..Makes no decisions. Jason pitch the wrong person off they hold HR . He gone.. Black man deal with this on the daily..
FLA BOY727 she never owned the show, just the story
lol at the “woe is me I’m a black man” bullshit. He acknowledged himself that he behaved out of character on the show. Just because you don’t know (and it’s also none of your/our business really) doesn’t mean it wasn’t legit. You clowns just refuse to have any degree of accountability for your actions and always looking to be someone’s victim. Grow up.
@@triggered577 It's coo sis Im sure its a black man out there who loves you. No need for all the toxic energy being directed at black men. I'm rooting for you.
@@PonderthePath100 classy response💯
I'm starting to believe Jason was telling the truth
Montez Coyle something is up if he also got dropped from a movie and his agent let him go. This not only about the chi he did something or someone probably a chick saying he did something.
Odyssey Mack he got dropped by his agent, management and lawyer. His lawyer was the big red flag for me. He definitely did something.
Jason was speaking in circles. Admitting possibilities of his actions, then backtracking. Jason knows he did something. I'm sure the studio didnt need a formal reason to drop him in the first place.
I said that months ago.
That nigga did something..I seen his guilty ass interview..all that? He did SOMETHING
This interview shows how little control people in positions like hers have, and how much theyll cover up to save said position.
DoubleN517 true that
DoubleN517 or their lack of and being exposed. It’s a crew of women and no disrespect homosexual and I can’t help but see how the women may give the men a hard way to go because of their reasons toward males maybe
Did you watch that episode of black af?
She did the same thing Lee Daniels did to Monique being black is always harder to stand up for the underdog but to be gay and black you dont have but a 1/2 leg to stand on so she keep saying i dont know what happen and i heard different truths of the story but then say i made sure my studio and workers would be safe yadi yadi whatever if you dont know "WHAT HAPPENED" what are you making safer or different and if you dont know real truth how can you build off of that she is a black butch that know that she is lucky to be at the table with the kids at showtime so she like she said didnt say nothing agreed like the good slave and rolled on and over jason to see her dream come true and now i know why this season 3 was the worst she had a hand in it it was a gay and lesbian show not the chi i dont like her i have never liked her and FYI i went to see queen and slim and it was butt and now i know why she wrote that crap great actors horrible story line
@@yesisaidit6894 you know nothing about what you’re talking about lol
How can she say she believe women but than say I wasn't there. So everyone talks in circles.
Not sure if I can watch "The Chi" without Brandon (Jadon Mitchell). He was the heartbeat of that show. I think that chapter is closed. I also don't think this show will last long now. Time to find a new show
@PowerToTheTubers I totally agree
hey check this out, its dope ua-cam.com/video/P0S_uf4nheI/v-deo.html
Exactly
It’s trash
Agreed ! Also Reg is gone too the character you hate to love , this show will definitely not be the same Again .
Damn, Tyrone Biggums really influencing fashion these days 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yoo u a fool 😂😂
🤣🤣 Bruh...
LMAO! You just made my day.
Lol! I was thinking mush mouth. Swear I thought she was in costume
"This will NEVER happen on my sets EVER again"
"What happened?
"I myself still don't know what happened, I wasn't there"
Wize Lahkid GOTEM!!!
EXACTLY! shit sound stupid asf!
She speaking on the accusations. Such accusations would never happen on her set again because she made necessary changes to ensure the safety and well being of the actors.
Natural Beautie it was nothing to be real but some women and it sound like they are fired or black balled
Best comment here. Really can’t figure out why Charlemagne or envy didn’t say this same shit
Am i the only one confused about this Jason Mitchell issue. It seem like everyone stood by the wrong person and instead finding out the truth Jason got the raw end of the deal.
and he is tied to an NDA and can't speak for another 7 years until this dies down and bears all the consequences.
Who's the wrong person?
But yet she says she doesn’t know if she can work with him again but doesn’t know what he did 🤔. And also feel u should just believe women 🤔some one is lying
Someone is lying 🤥 point blank period! We’ll never know the truth
Yep everybody dancing around it so that means so Caucasian is in control and whatever they say go and they must be pretty big and black folks scared
“All about blackness” until they mention Jason Mitchell.
Favts
Don Juaaan she said it herself she’s for women, mostly black women
The women that had issues with him were black.
Facts
Esha Day which is my point, Lena was a more like a mother/bigSis instead of saying don’t lead him on and be a writer/director, but she’s being a protector and fired him through someone else so she wouldn’t get the backlash for firing such a talented guy hence, a normal guy whose usually aggressive after women they want
She’s dancing around the questions on Jason Mitchell
This whole I have to believe women thing is dangerous.
Im a woman and I agree. . .that should not be the standard, to just believe women 🤷🏽♀️
Hah, reason why I only hire men..perceived straight men 😎
Trueee.👏🏾just because someone is a woman doesn't mean they're telling the truth.💯women can lie just like men lie.
Super
Facts
So Lena promises "it" will never happen again on one of her sets all while not knowing what happened. I hate these ppl
Oh don't forget it's not her "set" because she sold The Chi to the "networks"...smh
She knows!
I peeped how at the beginning of the week Jason Mitchell was fired, She ended up hosting Jimmy Kimmel by the end of the week 😂 seemed like an reward for listening the the “higher ups”.
I don’t believe anything this young man is saying just going in circles that’s why I’m on Jason Mitchell’s side
Geaux Vee 😭
😁😁😁😁😁😭😭😭😭
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Go awaay!😂😂😂😂😩😩😩
Just came for the Jason Mitchell part that’s it have a good day
and she still side stepped and shucked and ducked...was there some sort of NDA or something..because if not, I am wondering what he possibly could have done. No one is being forthcoming.
Kim D whatever he did we’ll never know now
Give that man his job back since you don't know what he did.
You missed the part where she said that's not in her power?
She also said she has all the power this season. She just chooses to believe women rather than ask for a throrough investigation.
@@jirendagreat or they already closed that chapter so power over this season is not power to go back and open up what happened last season.
It's all speculation at this point, right?
No this whole interview was double minded. I was taught you don't speak on what you don't know. She should've just stayed quiet from jump.
You are supposed to INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. Just thought a gay black woman would've fought for a black man. That's all. Every "man" for himself out here smh.
Why nobody really saying what happened somebody’s lying 🤥 I believe Jason
Malin Rbck Not saying what he did (or didn’t do) but CLEARLY you haven’t been keeping up with Monique. The industry is ran by LGBTQ, Feminists, and Racists! Jason probably got GREAT advice from a lawyer or an OG.. who told him to go ahead and hold that “L”. He already got picked up for another acting gig.
She definitely knows what happened but ain't telling.
A Woman's Boyfriend came to the set looking for Jason........ get the Boyfriend on the show he'll tell you what happened
C Frow She said she wasn't there, she knows what she said happened, she knows what he said happened. It's not her place to tell what took place but she is going to support the female. She is doing exactly what SHE can do. Just like anybody else would do who recognizes their power, her hands are tied.
Wait when did this happen
Damn did Jason even do anything??? Wtf is going on
Because it was more than one complaint against him. That's why she said she was looking for his behavior to change
He didn’t wanna bow down
Yes, he did do something. He showed up as his authentic self & didn't feel the need to do any code-switching.
@Barrack O’Bezzy It was a snowball effect. Ppl started dropping him for speculation. Hollywood is a small community. It's all about branding. You can be innocent & not a good look for a company's brand.
She fully explains what actually happened with jason Mitchell at 31:14
Lmao!
😂😂😂
lol🙄 i was really waiting too🤦🏾♀️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I’m really surprised by all the negative comments towards this women. She’s so full of talent and that movie genuinely moved me and everyone in that theater. It was a thought provoking movie. Build up our people and support them in their success because they’re ultimately changing our narrative.
Two black people kill a cop, then get murdered at the end. How does that change anything?
@@jfrancismiller good question
@@zzinkk its brainwashing. Accept oppression as art and tragedy as fate. She can keep that shit.
Lesbian black women should not be the voice/leader of black people. Black MEN should be
Butt Stinkman everyone has a voice & Lesbian Black women HAVE a voice and should be allowed to USE IT as well. There is nothing wrong with HER telling a story from HER perspective.
"A meditation on blackness.. " I love that
I wish she knew what that meant when she said it though
Sounds like Lena is staying in line.... How can you dismiss someone with out knowing why.... Someone is lying...
Sound slike she didn't do the official dismissing. It sounds like they made up their minds and she may have had to drop the hammer but they moved him right on into the other room to finish the paperwork.
They doing jason like craig fired on his day off.

LOL I said the same thing. She said it best. It's one thing to leave room for error and growth but if you keep seeing and hearing the same things then it makes sense to cancel.
There's got to be a some legal reason they aren't talking.
Gag order
If they just led with that!
Duh. But not everybody else needs to know.
This Jason Mitchell stuff is looking like some bs!
She did the same thing Lee Daniels did to Monique being black is always harder to stand up for the underdog but to be gay and black you dont have but a 1/2 leg to stand on so she keep saying i dont know what happen and i heard different truths of the story but then say i made sure my studio and workers would be safe yadi yadi whatever if you dont know "WHAT HAPPENED" what are you making safer or different and if you dont know real truth how can you build off of that she is a black butch that know that she is lucky to be at the table with the kids at showtime so she like she said didnt say nothing agreed like the good slave and rolled on and over jason to see her dream come true and now i know why this season 3 was the worst she had a hand in it it was a gay and lesbian show not the chi i dont like her i have never liked her and FYI i went to see queen and slim and it was butt and now i know why she wrote that crap great actors horrible story line
Queen & Slim is everything to the culture. Thank you for shedding light on the issues society often tries to sweep under the rug.
Wake up pls.. That movie is toxic
Conscious&Crazy that movie showed how black people sell each other out to the white man. It’s was THE TRUTH
Conscious&Crazy sounds to me like you need to go to sleep. You’re toxic
Do they even know what Jason did? I'm confused
Douglas Henry child! I'm still confused
I'm confused to..
I’m still confused abt what he did, she dancing her ass off
Scapegoat ed
Black man accused of something, but no one is saying what he's accused of, sending a clear message that, he's accused of nothing. She's realizing now that, pushing white feminism, while being a black, leads to nothing good for you. ☻☻☻
Whoooooa round and round I goooooo. You got me going in CIRCLES! Lena
"I have to believe women" made me cringe.... No Lena, a proper unbiased investigation needed to be done .
"I have to believe women..."
Aight ima head out...🏃
🤣💯
I can not wait to see this movie. I love how authentic and romantic it sounds.
“They told me this is what’s going on “
ok Lena what did they tell you??
Will it change your life if you knew?
Virgo Pepper yes! Because women lie! We deserve to know why this man is being vilified and career ruined! Had he been white!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet more facts would’ve been laid out!
@@shondelholmes7959 well If you want to know so damn bad ask him!!! Its not Lena's job to explain what another muthafukas misdeeds are! That shit is on him!! His responsibility to tell his fans! Has he done that? Hell nah!! Yall niggas love to holla someone is against the black man! Some black people are just as dirty as the next fella!!
Is it that serious
Virgo Pepper No, the people WHO claim he did something NEED to PROVE it!! The same way black ass gotta prove racial discrimination on a job! You can’t just say someone did something, ruin their career! Then tell him to explain it... it sound dumb asf
She said "I have to side with women" that says it all!
Exactly.
Women do lie
She obviously has a preference for women
@Oxy Moron i dunno maybe be on the side of the truth
Sis has the gift of gab!! Mouth almighty!! Lies and cheese fries!!!!!!
Right because everything she said about the movie was the total opposite. It was not a great film that black people NEEDED to see. I didn't need this trauma porn at all.
Love and respect Lena so much.... definitely an inspiration to me as a future writer and E.P
Men dont even get a chance to prove their innocence.
Facts smh
The karma of our ancestors. Women from the past suffered this generation is cashing in.
Black men
@@conspiracyguy4045 what about the ancestors that got massacred over women lying?
White police officers dont even get a chance to prove their innocence.
let's see if she talks in circles again like that "phone interview" about jason. 👀🍿
Lynn W lol. She does.
She still talking in circles..🤣
It was so embarrassing ..
Lynn W girl yes! Lol that last interview was a waste of time!!!
But how can she completely sound off on the situation she knows nothing about. Like she said its different stories being thrown around. But he did somethin... Lol thats obvious
“I have to believe women?” Because women don’t lie right
Tf
That statement is problematic
It's clearly more nuanced than just straight up believing someone over another. Saying that she has to believe women comes from the historical truth that women have faced 100's, if not 1000's, of years of male based domination and oppression. Women have systematically been dis-believed by men because the men have been the ones holding the power in most societies. Yes women are fully capable of lying and have done so but this is more than that in this context and even if a woman is found to have lied, she is still at a disadvantage within the structure of patriarchy in multiple ways.
@@k-t5443 what about people are people why does it have to be a man vs woman dynamic...she should of listen to both sides and make a rational decision based on both sides regardless if race or gender
@@Cobane823 'What about people are people' indeed. Why do we live in a world that has deliberately excluded people based on their gender and race etc? It's political and it's been created that way by those that want the power. Who says she won't listen to both sides? She didn't state that she won't but I was responding to the idea of showing solidarity to women due to the historical oppression and disbelieving of women around the world. It's also not to say that men also haven't been affected by the power structure of male dominance and it's imbalances in ways but politically, they have more power than women.
She came in talking big and fizzled out quickly.
Kent Davis I thought that was just me...
@My Channel tragically true
I guess *NOTHING* happened on her set and she will NEVER allow it to happen again because she believes women🤔🤦🏾♀️
🙄🤦🏽♀️ right
althea walters to me that is a dangerous statement... men are going to Leary of working on theses sets because a disgruntled woman can ruin your career... let’s not act like women can’t lie or embellish a situation out of spite... there should always be a thorough investigation you don’t just take someone’s worried because they are a woman
@@shisco05 at 13:58 is where she is telling us what happened wo saying it directly. She's saying how she changed things on her set to insure "it"never happens again. She is probably bound by contract not to say EXACTLY what the allegation was but from result of "it" she has a safe set, intimacy scene coordinator and liaison, etc. She told us but couldn't be specific.
althea walters which IS the point Lena herself made
yass nnej **So wiTh thaT beinG said whaT did yoU thinK happened honesTLy.???** 👀😒
If the center of attention was around Jason’s character and now he’s got cut from desperado he’s clearly targeted if no body knows what actually happened maybe just maybe some one wanted him to sit on the directors couch and do something strange for a piece of change. And now they are adding all of these other characters to substitute Jason’s absence it’s definitely and issues I won’t be watching the chi any more, the chi in my opinions will be come what empire is now. Boring I’ll find something else
To watch.
They spent a whole season on him and his taco truck. I honestly still don't know what he did because she didn't even answer it. This is confusing and doesn't make sense.
Anytime some one has been accused of sexual harassment it was something some kind of evidenced then he goes to the breakfast club now it’s not sexual harassment none of that shit adds up
Douglas Henry she didn’t want to lie on him
I’m sure if that’s the cast Jason would have said it on the breakfast club
Douglas Henry you don’t have a right to know. There’s contracts, NDAs, privacy laws, professionalism, ect. You aren’t apart of any company involved therefore you do not have the right to know
I love how she's quiet about Aziz now, you know she's on his side, which she should be, but it proves her being a hypocrite when it comes to Jason Mitchell
One thing I learned from this interview is that Daniel Kaluuya keeps deboing roles gotta respect that kinda drive.
CTG be Making up questions that he knows ain’t true. Lol
Exactly and got the nerve to give the donkey of the day to young man that called out Breakfast Club. I heard you don't write Lena her response is where you here that GTG lost for words and he don't do White guest this way.
All interviewers do
He does that all the time
Lmao! Fats. He did that to poor Raz B. He was trolling. "Did you apologize to Chris Stokes?"
Sounds like a bunch of women that didn't like Jason used whatever happened on Desperado to get him fired from The Chi. No one can say exactly what happened and no ones story adds up because it's made up.
strell85 💯💯💯💯💯
Loved this movie. Directing was great, acting was good, made me cry. Movie is deep and a must see.
I loved the movie. It took me on an emotional roller coaster
@Siasam’s Game I was really starting to think I was the only person who thought this movie was just awful. White folks saying it's good cause they don't want to he called racist and black people so starved for representation that any bullshit gets critical praise and the weak point was the writing. And I'm starting to think that she is slim.
Jainell_all_day TOTALLY AGREED!!!!!! IT PULLED AT THE HEART STRINGS, ESPECIALLY THE ENDING!!!!!! NEVER EXPECTED IT TO END THAT WAY...... EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!
I ain’t feeling the Chi if the homie not on there no more
Same. I am not feeling the new seasons. How did we go from hustling and pain, to gay bars and a weak kidnapping storyline? I miss Brandon, Reggie, and the Haitian
Chalotta Cox exactly !!
The chi is dead without the 🌟 main character Jason made the chi
True. I don't want to watch it no more.
Facts
Better to lose one fan than make everyone work with a PERVERT..
@@brandidenisecomedy oh you were there?
. its gone lose lot more than 1 fan check back when start see rating and see if make s it to a season 4 am still wait 👂 wat pervert thing he did even jerika havent said heard went out female who man got mad so nobody still dt k truth news flash the female not always right hell naw thats bs periodt
So what did Jason actually do and why doesn’t anyone know 🤔
Dasialyn's World he didn’t wanna bow down
He didn't do shit this interview is showing more and more Jason was probably telling the truth, he was probably trying to avoid saying the wrong things in his interview to avoid further backlash. But there is always his side, her side , then the truth so he probably isn't 100% innocent himself.
He probably didn't want to "buck" or kiss ass
Dasialyn's World he must have have dirt on them to because their not talking
They were intimidated by him the way he talked in feel threatened or scared
As soon as I saw the trailer for Queen and Slim I knew I wanted to see it.
"Black Love, Black people killing cops. What's better than that?" A whole lot is better than that. But if that's the best you could do. We'll take it and move on.
K HUNTER u wouldn’t understand cuz your yht
@@itscartitv1950
Try me. Let's hear it.
@@anotherpointofview222 She was just being humorous. The film is deeper than that.
@@PeaceBeStill-
I believe you. Words are words. And believe it or not I can take a joke.
@@PeaceBeStill-
My daughter recently saw it. She liked it.
There's no The Chi without Brandon's character. That show's gna turn into what TWD is now without Rick.
This Jason Mitchell thing is fishy. Someone's lying about him.
Emptythought she is a woman and wants t be “right”
Did u see his interview? He isn’t telling the truth either lol
Sharon Tate Sharon does she pay your rent? I’m confused
Queen & slim is a powerful film! Great job to Lena, Melina and the entire production. I got to see a screening of it in Boston and it let me feeling emotional but proud. Can’t wait to see it again
Great interview!
ALL I HEAR IS HER TAP DANCING THRU THIS WHOLE INTERVIEW
Went straight to comments to see if she was straight up with the responses lol. Not surprised.
Regardless of what she TRIES to be, woman are passive individuals, they can never be straight up. She cant drop her nuts like a man LMAO..
Man , STRAIGHT UP ! She made my head ache doe
Both her and Jason tap danced thru their respective interviews.
She looks like Reggie Miller any 1 agree no pun intended
Lmao
Yes she do look like him
The roneguy to meswit darrell Cheryl Miller
Damn you took my comment!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree, but you meant "no hate", not "no pun intended".
Loved what she said about sharing her light with others... 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 that’s dope! Looking forward to seeing the film.
I love when she speaks on things about production because people really think everything is so cut and dry when there are numerous people and entities shit has to go through
I guess Jason’s confusion was sincere.
Y’all think celebrities come to the comment section of their interviews? (Real question)
Some do I think.
Good question lol, I wonder too
Yes
Like Lena waithe said that people were saying she was talking in circles. So that made me think she was looking at the comment section ha
U kno they do lol. They still people aay the end of the day
i CANNOT WAIT to see this film, lena! i didnt want to see or read anything about it...just from the photos i saw and knowing it was Lena i was tossing my money at it!! so happy and proud of her positioning in telling our stories 🙏🏾🥰
Lena was very clear in this interview. I get it... Queen and Slim sounds interesting. Need to see it.
