Has anyone ever thought that the failure of the color purple was because we are tired of it? My word, how long does Oprah expect to make money by microwaving that steak? Saw it once and that was enough of that darkness for me. And I am not the only one. If Oprah is so creative, come up with something different. She continues to rebake the same thing and expects everyone to flock because her name is on it. NOPE! Most people have more important things to do with their money. Don't blame Taraji. We are simply tired of the same O, same O.
ok, so, nobody has ever been able to explain this to me. These actors say they aren't being paid what they think they should, I don't understand how that can possible happen. Can you explain it?
Yes!!!!! Also the original Color purple was perfect exactly the way it was. I watched it repeatedly growing up. It broke my heart every time. But Whoopi's performance was incredible. We did not need to make a new one
50 cent is a rat, and he's the same dude who tried to sign shyne and when he denied he tried to diss him? The same dude who knows he can't come back to queens ny without security.
Oprah publicly ambushed and abused Monique and nobody said that shit was evil. Monique’s sexual abuse should have never been entrainment and discussed without her present.
its cringy just thinking about , The Color Purple was a cinematic masterpiece , who wants to watch hollywood devalue it with a modernized remake, any fan of the movie would mentally bock out the existence of the remake, rather than take a chance of tainting their enjoyment of the original
Maybe if she would have sung the òĺd songs from Color Purple it would've made a difference. Her ratings are based on what she presented.. Welcome to reality
They have accepted their cage and want TPH to do the same. Gail was so sickening when she told her she has the audacity to say she wanted to stop acting. Can you imagine that. In other words, how dare you not stay in the cage? Who died and left Gail King god? This is terrible. And you wonder why Snoop called out his peeps on her. No massa is worse than our own!
Black people only come together when a black is killed by the police, if black would stick by eachother for everything other races would be the minority..
As a black man, I am proud that our black women are speaking up about their pay and wanting more. They work so hard and our black men should stand behind them. All the black mainstream actors should stand behind them. Talking about the denzel Washington's to Samuel. L Jackson's the Jamie Foxx. The Cuba Gooding Jrs they should stand behind our black women
I agree but exclude Cuba. He’s facing charges so they’ll destroy him if he try to stand behind anyone right now. It’s a shame that people can’t just work and earn what they deserve instead of going through all this. It’s sickening. There’s so much potential out there that they’re keeping from us. This is why vivica a fox went to tubi
I know your grandmother was right. Did these black actors complain when white producers gave them less than they were worth? The majority of black people from the janitor & actors to the White House, for years, received less pay & worked twice as hard. It is definitely far past the time for change. That is why corporations & government tried to brake unions. There is an old saying. “Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.”
This is one of the biggest reasons we as a people are where we are. I support her stand. I do not support her timing. She had to have known what blacklash would occur. Viola made her statement of her account about disparity in pay, as well as did Garielle Union. However, neither has ever did so at the beginning of the release of a film in which they were staring and is doing well. 18 million from jump Street! to not being nominated for anything via Oscars with the deserving nod for Danielle Brooks. How does the film go from 18 million first weekend to being called a Box office flop. We black people boycotted our own. As a result of TPH's comments. Many blacks started a negative narrative. It's sad ya'll. I have seen both films, Ava DuVernay's Origin, a Brilliant film a Master class film making on all counts as well as The Color Purple. Which, I believe could have been a mega opportunity missed to go beyond where we have been opposed to the negative, harmful demise of these to films and all who were blessed to be a part of. Shame.
Taraji began her rant on Dec 5th at the SAG-AFTRA. Gail interviewed her on Dec 19th. Gail didn't open the door, she gave a Taraji the opportunity to clean up her mess. Sadly, she didn't! Frankly, I think Janelle Monet would have made a better Sug!
I had to leave a job I love. I had the compassionate heart to help others. My supervisor was mean evil hiding behind desks to see if I was working good.... I guess.... In 6 months I said God take the wheel and he did. Tariara tell God and cast worries and fears upon the Lord and ask him for in creases. Stop your own stuff
@albertalston1414 Same. 😥 And I'll never look at Oprah the same. How dare BILLIONAIRE Oprah complain about TCP not making enough money, when she paid her stars (and HARD WORKING stars at that) pocket change??? How dare she????
When you look at Taraji's face...you will always see the pain she has had to work with in the industry...yet,she puts in her best in all her performance!
Should have believed Monique when she spoke on Oprah the first time and when she mentioned equal pay way back when already and nobody went up and arms unfortunately.
I want to shout out 50!!!!!! I used to think differently about 50, now I see his direction and applaud him. I am proud of him for helping and sticking up for our women. Thank you 50, much much much respect! I can't wait to see all these talented black women and men of ours rise up!!!!! Maybe all of them should band together and make a movie or a few. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I would pay to see that!!!!!
I am so proud of Taraji, 50 Cent, and Mo’Nique for taking a stand and speaking up. A lot of people wanted to say some but were afraid. It's time to speak up.
I support Taraji and all women who have found their voice and their courage to speak out against oppression, abuse and wrong doing. I know from experience that once a victim Finds and flexes their voice….they can never be silenced again. She found her voice before the movie was released and she could not hold back. The abuse had gotten so bad by then that her very being would not allow her to remain silent anymore. We are listening 💜💜
@@mariegraves6102 I see that now after digging a little! It’s crazy how things can be taken out of time and context and made to look like something else! But this did open my awareness to yet another inequality in the world.
I remember the Judge Judy said when it is tume to renew her contract she gave them a number in a sheet if paper and walked away they took it or left it. She was not compromising!
Organize as a company too if you're an entertainer to write off those team expenses against your tax bill. Everything associated with a business is deductible.
Exactly. I can’t believe she convinced herself even for a second that it was her ego. Don’t let nobody turn this racial shit into a Jedi mind trick on you.
The truth is the truth and 50 keep speaking the truth. I like the way you are handling ALL of this. You are so composed and articulate. We need more men in our black community like you. Thank you so much for being a dynamic man!!
She's named from Swahili; Taraji - hope and Pendo - love, plus she speaks the truth. As more people are like Mo'nique and Kat on Unc Shay's platform. Let's see how Steve, Oprah and Tyler respond, if they do, but their gig is up.
The black Hollywood actors like taraji keep making "black movies" while gatekeeping black culture and ostracizing those who try to enjoy and come into our culture. Black movies do NOT feel mainstream. They feel like they're FOR black people. And black people are only about 14% of the US. Even less in other countries like China and UK. That means it will be very difficult to export these movies beyond the African American borders. Which ordinary french man or even senegalese cares about black slavery movies. I habe friends in west Africa that will rather see pretty woman than the color purple. Which in turn means it will not do as well in foreign box offices. Which means the actors will not bring in as much income and then they don't get paid as much as other actors whose movies sell across the world. What we need is more black actors taking protagonist roles in mainstream movies, movies that can attract foreign audience. Everyone should feel like they can relate ,it shouldn't feel like it's just for a community. That's my take
Gail King’s ill-timed, inappropriate, and intrusive question at such crucial time as TCP movie promotion is more likely the TRUE root cause of TCP box office movie flop. It was clear Taraji was caught off guard in front of the audience - and was forced to provide an honest response to the out-of-place question asked.
Somebody can't use you when you're not also a part of the game. Steve gave Monique slave advice right there on his show, in the public! So...we know what he is at this point. Forget Ophry. CANCEL!
Steve feels indebted to Oprah. In the past it has been the norm that if you were interviewed by Oprah on her show then you’re going to blow up! Dr. Phil, Iyala Vansant, Gail King, Steve Harvey, Tyler Perry who actually wind up to help saving her by partnering with her for a season of time. So Steve feels indebted especially NOW with all that he’s facing in his personal life! I hope they both get thrower under the bus !
@@Crowned921being liberal and supporting the party that fought to keep you enslaved in whole civil war has always been the weirdest part of African American political identity for me 😂
@@MsRamington well! That party had taken a big term. Perhaps you should read about why Lincoln truly "freed" the slaves. Your thirst for gratitude is an embarrassment. 😅
Yes! 👏🏾👏🏾 I am sick of struggle, abusive triggering violent black movies!! Definitely don’t want to see a so called “reinvented remake” full blown musical during Jim Crow & oppressed women being abused! Black actors& celebrities need to face the facts that the whyte plantation Massa will NEVER treat you equally or pay you equally like your whyte peers! Start you OWN movie production companies, producing, directing, distribution ect Collaborate in partnership with other millionaires/investors! It’s 2024, get your OWN bag!
“I would check my ego everyday on that set” damn that’s some strong shxt right there. I saw acrimony like 3 times in theatre keep creating girl I’m with you taraji 💪🏿
1:58 we- doctors,lawyers,engineers, and all other professionals that provide essential services,go to our jobs 8am-9pm everyday and don't get one quarter of the money and influence you have and we're supposed to feel bad that you can't do only 2 films in a year😂😂
I wondered why Taraji seemed to disappear after POI. She is simply brilliant! She's real, intelligent and tells it like it is. Frankly, I have loved her in reruns of POI that after she's killed of (~2012) I stop watching and watch again the episodes in which she played. Lastly, she has called out the elephant in the room regarding Hollywood's pay and role discriminations that I've become more compelled and inspired to enjoy shows with black cast. It feels right to me and I am thoroughly engaged. That's the truth. I get it, and she is right and courageous, and I support the brave and truthful. She has become a martyr for the benefit of so many who were too scared to call all this out! God bless you, Taraji. You are a chosen woman.
@@tina247diva9 Well a lot of people do except any old thing because at the end of the day the money is still good money and she probably needs it. There are a lot of actors that are out there working for what they are not worth but they accept the money. It is part of the business. A lot of people get under paid at specially people of color. So yes once again People or some people will accept the money even if it’s not what they are worth. To expose the business industry. It is what it is. At the end of the day Oprah has the money she needs to stop treating her on people like they treated her before she start owning her own businesses. Just like Monique she took the job precious, she knew she was being underpaid but she took it and too set an example for other upcoming black Artists,to let us know what’s going on. it is what it is. Oprah has the money and she knows it. And she wonder why it flopped at the box office. Add the end of the day these elites are going to be exposed sooner or later. And when they get a phone they get called troublemaker, Hard to work with or blackballed!!! that’s why she spoke out. As she should. Now you have a nice day. in the (405) Bethany Oklahoma area
Warner Brothers set the budget. That's what studio heads do; Taraji was offered $150K for Benjamin Button and took it. I think she should have talked directly to Oprah, black woman to black woman, artist to artist, professional to professional. Taraji's response wasn't spontaneous--pay inequity is an issue near and dear to her heart. Oprah was a producer on the movie--why talk to Gayle instead of Oprah?
@@mariegraves6102 blah blah blah 🙄yeah yea yeah. Hi And She did talk to Oprah that’s why they have beef🙄. she even talk to her about the dressing room 🙄 trust me Taraji is all but nothing but woman she handled hers. and she still get treated less than Oprah never wanted to hear anything Taraji had to say or complain about. It is what it is. Oprah knows she wrong. She just don’t care🤨. she need to pay her what she is worth!!! and stop getting people blackballed.
As I heard it said (on RRG 😅) 'it's not your responsibility to save black men, it is a black man's responsibility to save you'. I really believe that is true 😢
Can’t do people ugly and get great rewards! All truth eventually comes to light this is the time for all of it! Taraji is one of my most favorite actresses. Can’t hold her down too much longer 🌟🌟🌟
Let's talk FACTS. I LOVE ME SOME TRARJI P. as far as Oprah goes I got 1st hand look at how Oprah feels about her black fans. I have pictures & proof. I'm not a celebrity just a hard working black woman that went to the Essence Music Awards in New York about 20yrs ago. When me & 3 of my girlfriends went. One of the almost worshiped the ground that Oprah walked on until up close & personal Oprah refused to take a picture with one of her biggest fans & treated my friend like she was a Nobody. Tell this day I will never forget how she made my friend feel. But Vivica Fox, real & Puff Daddy Combs not only did they talk to us but I have the picture to prove it. Oprah I have NO respect for her behind that because if it wasn't for her fans she wouldn't be where she is today. All the money in the world can not buy genuine morals, ethics, or love for others . So I'm riding with the real women of the screen who deserve much more pay and recognition. Look me up I have receipts. How dare you treat women of color so disrespectful.
Wake up! It’s done everyday, been done for ions! Come up out of that fantasy! Ugly, and mean works and wins EVERYDAY! It’s the majority! Folk tell themselves that crap to feel better and DO NOTHING! They want to pretend it’s going to get balanced out to fair! It does not!!
50 is the MAN. He is a great business man making movies as well as helping to put others on who she try to screw over. That’s how you do it too! Go head 50 you is the MAN! Mad love and respect!
Really? Not uplifting? But they've said this was a reimagining of the original. That Celie has an imagination this time--and there is real triumph in this new version. Not true?
I had no intention of seeing the musical version. It has been a book, a movie, a stage play and now a re-imagined musical. Enough already! I knew it would flop when I first heard it was filming.😊
I love the fact that Black in show business are standing up to the power that are in to keeping real Black's down , you go 50cent and Taraji tell it all bring out the truth
so true. I watched it before I heard anything about the interview and was bored with the whole movie. didn't like any of it. now the first one, girls I loved it and still watch it at least once a month and read the book often. I am all for TPH. she speaks the truth
First of all the color purple was a flop because they turned it into a musical and changed the way the original movie was. I’m glad I waited for it to stream on Max and I turned it off within 10-15mins at the beginning
And her face when Gayle asked her was she gonna quit acting just broke my heart. I love her man she is one of the best white black don’t matter she up there with the greats
If Taraji quits acting, I don't know if I will watch TV again. She made me want to watch it. Especially when her and Terrence Howard were acting together.
Stop the cap! That was 30-40years ago & yall still playing victim?! Black women are ceos presidents & running companies & one is vice president right now quit the victim rhetoric we tired of it
The way Gail worded this shit was highly disrespectful. I had to pause the video and play it back at that part cuz 'Audacity'? I would have been ready right then and there to tell her off. I can't mess with Gail or Oprah no more period. Done with them.
Taraji you are a ⭐ and you will never stop shining. If no one has ever told you mama you are loved . This too will pass and you will rise far beyond what you could ever even imagine .....I love you for just being you never stop doing you mama❤❤❤❤
Team Raji. She has the right to speak her mind. Oprah is worth like 3 billion, she could have good her the remaining 350k out of her pocket. At least Tyler did give her thr 500k for the movie she did with him.
Tyler, owns the studio and paid her $500K because that's what she asked for because he calls ALL the shots. And remember Tyler never spends more than $20M to make a film. Oprah didn't need to her squat! Tarjai is a grown arse woman, if the math was mathin, she should showed them her hand! But nawh, she took the money and then complained....NOT COOL!
So Steven Spielberg is worth 4.8 billion, which is 2 billion more than Oprah and 4+ billion more than Quincy, but Oprah should pay the 350K out of her pocket.
50 Cent is a grown ass man still carrying a grudge because Oprah didn’t like his music because it’s violent and he still butt hurt about. It ain’t nothing real about him bashing somebody because of his ego being hurt. His music is violent based on drug dealing and violence in the street so he needs to get over it. Oprah ain’t gotgot to like his music.
I really hope Taraji doesn’t bow down to these people and stands her ground. I know it’s easier than said but sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself!!!
My opinion, Winfrey is always been two-faced and this is my opinion she treats Black people different than she does Caucasian people. She always has an always will ever since she’s been on TV when she took over the talkshow many many years ago.!!
Glad to hear my all time crush Taraji speak in a black Woman voice. I love it! Stand up for your rights! Don't even mentioned bigger crush Gabrielle just yet beautiful Afro Women
Dale king's top show was sabotaged by Oprah when she said. Why do you have those steps there? And it goes to nowhere why set look like that? And the next thing I know king show was the endso. Come on, stop putting yourself down and make itself better. Everything I told do by the greatest God and you all seem to understand that, but give those actresses and active what they deserve. And you know that they all work more than 500 thousandlook at the work that they put in. And sick or not. They still have to go on to continue the show to entertain people like myself. I enjoy the work but I don't enjoy listening to the greed and selfishness. Oprah have everything a God had given to her. Stop short changing the women that also are doing work for you death not nice
Taraji P is an amazing actress facts if the color purple did flop it wasn't because of Taraji P performance period Ohpra could of made it right for Taraji P #haters
I agree with Taraji. That's my girl. She is right, I thought after Proud Mary I would have seen her career rise! Taraji and many more deserve better! They need to stop giving our talented and fabulous BLACK WOMEN their worth!!!!
Taraji's talented, gifted, real and sincere in every movie she's in. I love watching every Taraji movie , She puts so much energy and charisma in her work
Oprah doesn't want any other black female to surpass her. Taraji just standing up for the truth. Oprah has to realize one day she has to come off the top because you can't stay up there always.
I remember hearing the most infuriating story about Taraji and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. During filming, she had to PAY FOR HER OWN HOTEL ROOM!! She was one of the STARS of the film, and yet she was treated like she wasn't even part of cast & crew. Do you think Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett paid for their own hotel rooms while filming??? DOUBT IT. And shame on David Fincher for allowing one of the MAIN actors of his film to be treated that way. Taraji is OVER it. I feel for her so much.
Why would I want to watch a movie that disrespected the actors? As a woman that talks so much about equality Oprah should have paid this cast at least their actual value. It shows that actors have more power than they think. They can make a movie or break a movie. I appreciate Tariq for her fight and will support her.
We represent more than just Chicken George stories now. Do a movie about all of the inventions. Do more movies of greatness or just regular human beings with interesting stories. Taraji did the lady that help put man in space.
Or do a movie about George Washington copper how he Rose up from slavery to greatness becoming one of the greatest black scientists that the world has ever seen do a movie about that if you gotta do a movie about Slavery types no that's too much like right that shows George Washington cover succeeding Is out of slavery
Yes! a great movie abt the black women who sat behind the scenes n made NASA or even my favorite of all times "Something the Lord Made!" another true story starring Mos Def based on Vivian Thomas a black man who never went to Medical School but yet assisted on the "Blue Baby" surgery which was a success and the inventor of the Stent for ppl needing bypass surgeries!
Preach Sister!!! 💯✊🏽 This has been going on for Centuries!!! In Every Industry!!! We Are Tired of being Used, Abused and Underrated!!! 💯 Keep Doing What You Do Taraji!!! You Will Succeed!!! 💯 God is Watching Everthing and You Will Rise to the Top!!!
The truth of the matter is people want to see uplifting content and stories. I don’t want to see depressing stories. I can watch the news for sad stories. It’s a shame how we black people treat each other. This is a struggle for black women in every field. We don’t have to accept it! Thank you Taraji for standing up. These people don’t make Billions by being nice. There is ruthlessness that comes with their success.
Has anyone ever thought that the failure of the color purple was because we are tired of it? My word, how long does Oprah expect to make money by microwaving that steak? Saw it once and that was enough of that darkness for me. And I am not the only one. If Oprah is so creative, come up with something different. She continues to rebake the same thing and expects everyone to flock because her name is on it. NOPE! Most people have more important things to do with their money. Don't blame Taraji. We are simply tired of the same O, same O.
You are so right! I read the book when it came out and I watched the original movie. That was enough for me.
Exactly, black ppl are tired of those types of movies
Then she had the nerve to make it a musical. It was already a no for me but knowing it’s a musical is a heck no, hard pass for me!
Exactly💯
I couldn't stand it
Taraji deserves her money. She BEEN putting in work. For years!

Thank you. I believed her too.
shoulda told R-Kelly to watch out for her too..

Oprah publicly ambushed and abused Monique and nobody said that shit was evil.
Monique’s sexual abuse should have never been entrainment and discussed without her present.
I believed her too!!!
The original movie and the play were ENOUGH! I had no plans on seeing a musical on screen. Taraji didn't mess up anything.
Absolutely no one asked for a remake of Color Purple that’s why it flopped
Facts God don't like ugly n ain't to proud of pretty
Exactly! Should have left it at the original.
The movie is played every February, as if it really celebrates Black History......BS🤣🤣
its cringy just thinking about , The Color Purple was a cinematic masterpiece , who wants to watch hollywood devalue it with a modernized remake, any fan of the movie would mentally bock out the existence of the remake, rather than take a chance of tainting their enjoyment of the original

@albertalston1414 Same. 😥 And I'll never look at Oprah the same. How dare BILLIONAIRE Oprah complain about TCP not making enough money, when she paid her stars (and HARD WORKING stars at that) pocket change??? How dare she????
@@albertalston1414She is an actress
THE YEAR OF THE TRUTH TELLERS!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤so real. So true. Truth hurts the liars. That's why they need drugs and alcohol to sleep at night.
Yes!! 2024 is the year of justice and it is just starting!! Trust me!!
@@SoaresTwins Kat Williams said 2024 said the truth will come out this year.
When you look at Taraji's face...you will always see the pain she has had to work with in the industry...yet,she puts in her best in all her performance!
This is CRAZY!!!! She should be one of the highest paid actresses. Her talent is impeccable! She is absolutely GREAT at what she does!
Viola is the best actress. I don't hear her complaining. Viola won an Emmey award for a small guest role as the mother of a child murder victim.
Yes she is great as an actress, most definitely one of my favorite actresses.
No Equality!!! No Grace!!! No Respect!!!!
@patriciabarnes3899 she has made the same argument
@@patriciabarnes3899viola has spoke on this also not sure why you havent seen it
Let alone Taraji is one of our best black actress , one of our best actresses period . I never seen her have a bad performance
That U turn she made was a bad performance.
I think Oprah need to check in the movie I didn't like I didn't like it
Steve how would you like it if they start blackballing that's what everyone need to do black ball Steve
Steve Harvey is strictly for money he doesn't care about the black people when Oprah turn on you you
All that talking all she did look what's happening now she's getting black now she won't be working making no
I love 50 for his realness and how he doesnt mind speaking up for others!!!
Steve was horrible to Bernie mac
Should have believed Monique when she spoke on Oprah the first time and when she mentioned equal pay way back when already and nobody went up and arms unfortunately.
I want to shout out 50!!!!!! I used to think differently about 50, now I see his direction and applaud him. I am proud of him for helping and sticking up for our women. Thank you 50, much much much respect! I can't wait to see all these talented black women and men of ours rise up!!!!! Maybe all of them should band together and make a movie or a few. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I would pay to see that!!!!!
Same here much Respect 🫡 to 50cent using his power to make a real difference 🌍
50ç as the źale and vòice and backiñg of 50 million prayer @user-ur7tm4iy3g
God bless our black uniting to help support others of us
50 is very, very smart
50 cent is brilliant and very knowledgeable of the entertainment industry.
I am so proud of Taraji, 50 Cent, and Mo’Nique for taking a stand and speaking up. A lot of people wanted to say some but were afraid. It's time to speak up.
Don't forget about Katt Williams
I support Taraji and all women who have found their voice and their courage to speak out against oppression, abuse and wrong doing. I know from experience that once a victim
Finds and flexes their voice….they can never be silenced again. She found her voice before the movie was released and she could not hold back. The abuse had gotten so bad by then that her very being would not allow her to remain silent anymore. We are listening 💜💜
Taraji's been speaking out against pay inequity in Hollywood for at least 10 years. It wasn't about Oprah ot The Color Purple.
She is a Superior Actress.
@@mariegraves6102 I see that now after digging a little! It’s crazy how things can be taken out of time and context and made to look like something else! But this did open my awareness to yet another inequality in the world.
Everyone I know that saw this remark hated it without Taraji's comments.
Don’t just complain when Oprah low balls you. You should have shown your discontent years ago to the powers that be.
Taraji was speaking on the industry, period!
Blame GAYLE KING! She asked the question. Mad at the wrong person. Taraji will get her blessings 10-fold. Watch!
Right probably was a SETUP question 💯💯🎯
Gayle is Oprah’s longtime best friend!
@@Autumn938 Right, she literally sat down with her op best friend.
@@FijiMatic Yep! That wasn’t a good idea.
Absolutely 💯
Oprah needs to go sit down. She can't destroy Taraji. We love Taraji.
She’s going to try ! And who’s going to stop her?!
Get up Stand up for your right Black woman.🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳✊🏾
They got more right then black men
Not a fan of Oprah. She goes overseas to support organizations and people. Nothing is supported in the USA by her.
I remember the Judge Judy said when it is tume to renew her contract she gave them a number in a sheet if paper and walked away they took it or left it. She was not compromising!
Pay our Black People💰💰💰
Organize as a company too if you're an entertainer to write off those team expenses against your tax bill. Everything associated with a business is deductible.
Exactly. I can’t believe she convinced herself even for a second that it was her ego. Don’t let nobody turn this racial shit into a Jedi mind trick on you.
The truth is the truth and 50 keep speaking the truth. I like the way you are handling ALL of this. You are so composed and articulate. We need more men in our black community like you. Thank you so much for being a dynamic man!!
50 not afraid of them. I support!
Agreed!!!
I totally agree 💯
Tell the truth Taraji. It's about more than just the Color Purple. Taraji is shining light on an industry issue.
She's named from Swahili; Taraji - hope and Pendo - love, plus she speaks the truth. As more people are like Mo'nique and Kat on Unc Shay's platform. Let's see how Steve, Oprah and Tyler respond, if they do, but their gig is up.
Taraji is a PHENOMENAL actress. I definitely think she deserves her money but closed mouths don’t get fed so I’m glad she speaking up
The black Hollywood actors like taraji keep making "black movies" while gatekeeping black culture and ostracizing those who try to enjoy and come into our culture. Black movies do NOT feel mainstream. They feel like they're FOR black people. And black people are only about 14% of the US. Even less in other countries like China and UK. That means it will be very difficult to export these movies beyond the African American borders. Which ordinary french man or even senegalese cares about black slavery movies. I habe friends in west Africa that will rather see pretty woman than the color purple. Which in turn means it will not do as well in foreign box offices. Which means the actors will not bring in as much income and then they don't get paid as much as other actors whose movies sell across the world. What we need is more black actors taking protagonist roles in mainstream movies, movies that can attract foreign audience. Everyone should feel like they can relate ,it shouldn't feel like it's just for a community. That's my take
Gail King’s ill-timed, inappropriate, and intrusive question at such crucial time as TCP movie promotion is more likely the TRUE root cause of TCP box office movie flop.
It was clear Taraji was caught off guard in front of the audience - and was forced to provide an honest response to the out-of-place question asked.
They tag team people. Gail is Oprah mouthpiece
Right!! Or... she could've "Acted" like everything was just fine cuz that is the best thing to do for the movie!!
Screw the movie and Hollywood
Gayle was clearly trying to stir the pot. Hopefully, this makes people see Gayle and Harpo in a bad light.
Gail and her horrible wig ain't s--'
Somebody can't use you when you're not also a part of the game. Steve gave Monique slave advice right there on his show, in the public! So...we know what he is at this point. Forget Ophry. CANCEL!
How do we start a petition to cancel oprah and steve harvey? After the kat williams interview i feel like millions would sign it. Im so serious
@@kellyking5269 Girl! We need to do something to support our REAL sisters in Hollyweird. 🤔
😊@@kellyking5269
Steve feels indebted to Oprah. In the past it has been the norm that if you were interviewed by Oprah on her show then you’re going to blow up! Dr. Phil, Iyala Vansant, Gail King, Steve Harvey, Tyler Perry who actually wind up to help saving her by partnering with her for a season of time. So Steve feels indebted especially NOW with all that he’s facing in his personal life! I hope they both get thrower under the bus !
I thought the same thing.
Taraji was overwhelmed with emotion knowing what people don't know about what Oprah is.
Now you see what us blk conservatives feel about liberals and feminist
@@lees3117 we liberals feel the same way about “black conservatives.” 🙄🙄😂
Taraji confirmed that she was never complaining about Oprah. Her complaints were with Warner Brothers and Oprah actually had to step in to assist.
@@Crowned921being liberal and supporting the party that fought to keep you enslaved in whole civil war has always been the weirdest part of African American political identity for me 😂
@@MsRamington well! That party had taken a big term. Perhaps you should read about why Lincoln truly "freed" the slaves. Your thirst for gratitude is an embarrassment. 😅
Disgusting industry. Watching this, Oprah makes me sick. Horrid woman. A billionaire paying crap money to those brilliant actresses.
Me too
I read the book, saw the original movie and went to the play in Colorado. It flopped because we as black women are tired of seeing the same movie!!
Yes! 👏🏾👏🏾 I am sick of struggle, abusive triggering violent black movies!! Definitely don’t want to see a so called “reinvented remake” full blown musical during Jim Crow & oppressed women being abused! Black actors& celebrities need to face the facts that the whyte plantation Massa will NEVER treat you equally or pay you equally like your whyte peers! Start you OWN movie production companies, producing, directing, distribution ect Collaborate in partnership with other millionaires/investors! It’s 2024, get your OWN bag!
I believe Tarajji! Her work speaks for itself, she is a great artist.
“I would check my ego everyday on that set” damn that’s some strong shxt right there. I saw acrimony like 3 times in theatre keep creating girl I’m with you taraji 💪🏿
1:58 we- doctors,lawyers,engineers, and all other professionals that provide essential services,go to our jobs 8am-9pm everyday and don't get one quarter of the money and influence you have and we're supposed to feel bad that you can't do only 2 films in a year😂😂
Not nice!
Ms. Taraji, "The math is not mathing" that is deep!
Taraji is so humble and real you can tell Hope she gets what she deserves
What? She’s not in the same zip code as humble
@@Nordraw Spoken like a true white-black producer who thinks we should accept whatever we get. SMFH

LMFAO
She looks like one so... Makes sense.
She acts like a dog but her Karma will bite a big hole in her A$$.
I wondered why Taraji seemed to disappear after POI. She is simply brilliant! She's real, intelligent and tells it like it is. Frankly, I have loved her in reruns of POI that after she's killed of (~2012) I stop watching and watch again the episodes in which she played. Lastly, she has called out the elephant in the room regarding Hollywood's pay and role discriminations that I've become more compelled and inspired to enjoy shows with black cast. It feels right to me and I am thoroughly engaged. That's the truth. I get it, and she is right and courageous, and I support the brave and truthful. She has become a martyr for the benefit of so many who were too scared to call all this out! God bless you, Taraji. You are a chosen woman.
Pay her what she is worth Oprah. 🙄
She has to know her worth first and stand on that shyt....can't just be accepting any ol thing because that's what they're offering
@@tina247diva9 Well a lot of people do except any old thing because at the end of the day the money is still good money and she probably needs it. There are a lot of actors that are out there working for what they are not worth but they accept the money. It is part of the business. A lot of people get under paid at specially people of color. So yes once again People or some people will accept the money even if it’s not what they are worth. To expose the business industry. It is what it is. At the end of the day Oprah has the money she needs to stop treating her on people like they treated her before she start owning her own businesses. Just like Monique she took the job precious, she knew she was being underpaid but she took it and too set an example for other upcoming black Artists,to let us know what’s going on. it is what it is. Oprah has the money and she knows it. And she wonder why it flopped at the box office. Add the end of the day these elites are going to be exposed sooner or later. And when they get a phone they get called troublemaker, Hard to work with or blackballed!!! that’s why she spoke out. As she should. Now you have a nice day. in the (405) Bethany Oklahoma area
Warner Brothers set the budget. That's what studio heads do; Taraji was offered $150K for Benjamin Button and took it. I think she should have talked directly to Oprah, black woman to black woman, artist to artist, professional to professional. Taraji's response wasn't spontaneous--pay inequity is an issue near and dear to her heart. Oprah was a producer on the movie--why talk to Gayle instead of Oprah?
@@mariegraves6102 blah blah blah 🙄yeah yea yeah. Hi And She did talk to Oprah that’s why they have beef🙄. she even talk to her about the dressing room 🙄 trust me Taraji is all but nothing but woman she handled hers. and she still get treated less than Oprah never wanted to hear anything Taraji had to say or complain about. It is what it is. Oprah knows she wrong. She just don’t care🤨. she need to pay her what she is worth!!! and stop getting people blackballed.
Amen 😘👍
I love 50 more and more every day
50 aimt never lied. Its about time our black men defend and protect black women. Even when being mistreated by another black persom.
As I heard it said (on RRG 😅) 'it's not your responsibility to save black men, it is a black man's responsibility to save you'. I really believe that is true 😢
Taraji I wish from the bottom of my heart everything in the world! You carry a lot!
50 named his dog Oprah 🤣 Clever!
😂 and THAT!!!😂😂😂
And the other dog name is Gail 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My nephew named his brown French bulldog Oprah…😂😂😂
It’s probably a pit bull 🐂
Can’t do people ugly and get great rewards! All truth eventually comes to light this is the time for all of it! Taraji is one of my most favorite actresses. Can’t hold her down too much longer 🌟🌟🌟
😅Yes. Look at p. Diddy.
Let's talk FACTS. I LOVE ME SOME TRARJI P. as far as Oprah goes I got 1st hand look at how Oprah feels about her black fans. I have pictures & proof. I'm not a celebrity just a hard working black woman that went to the Essence Music Awards in New York about 20yrs ago. When me & 3 of my girlfriends went. One of the almost worshiped the ground that Oprah walked on until up close & personal Oprah refused to take a picture with one of her biggest fans & treated my friend like she was a Nobody. Tell this day I will never forget how she made my friend feel. But Vivica Fox, real & Puff Daddy Combs not only did they talk to us but I have the picture to prove it. Oprah I have NO respect for her behind that because if it wasn't for her fans she wouldn't be where she is today. All the money in the world can not buy genuine morals, ethics, or love for others . So I'm riding with the real women of the screen who deserve much more pay and recognition. Look me up I have receipts. How dare you treat women of color so disrespectful.
Excuse some of the misspelled words I get so heated when it comes to ppl praising someone that does not deserve it. 🔥🔥🔥
thats the irony, oprah wanted this to be her magnum opus but stepped on peoples toes to do so
Wake up! It’s done everyday, been done for ions! Come up out of that fantasy! Ugly, and mean works and wins EVERYDAY! It’s the majority! Folk tell themselves that crap to feel better and DO NOTHING! They want to pretend it’s going to get balanced out to fair! It does not!!
50 Cent was right all this time I feel that he's a champion for black actors and actresses
Bruh 50's a troll but hes a real dude. 50 is 50 but his Pros always outweighs his Cons
50 is the MAN. He is a great business man making movies as well as helping to put others on who she try to screw over. That’s how you do it too! Go head 50 you is the MAN! Mad love and respect!
The original “The Color Purple” wasn’t an uplifting film. Nobody wanted a repeat of that - especially not at Christmas.
Ok ….. because who asked for a remake …. The original was just fine
Should’ve been a February month release perhaps lol
Exactly. I hard passed on that
Who wanted to see that at Christmas? About sick of Oprah dirty a** and her puppet Ty Ty
Really? Not uplifting? But they've said this was a reimagining of the original. That Celie has an imagination this time--and there is real triumph in this new version. Not true?
I had no intention of seeing the musical version. It has been a book, a movie, a stage play and now a re-imagined musical. Enough already! I knew it would flop when I first heard it was filming.😊
Right
I love the fact that Black in show business are standing up to the power that are in to keeping real Black's down , you go 50cent and Taraji tell it all bring out the truth
50Cent, put Taraji in your Power Universe. Fuck Oprah.
Whoever thought that color purple would make a good musical is insane
That would be Oprah
The juxtaposition is crazy. A dark time In history portrayed by a musical
Exactly! 🤣🤣🤣🤦
#Curtis”50 Cent” Jackson is a honorable & fearless black man!!!#HighlyRespected by all demographics of real ones!!!!
The film failed because no one wanted to see a musical!
so true. I watched it before I heard anything about the interview and was bored with the whole movie. didn't like any of it. now the first one, girls I loved it and still watch it at least once a month and read the book often. I am all for TPH. she speaks the truth
@@kellyusher1
Yeah I heard it was horrible. SMH
Right 😊
@@ChristinaGrant-h6v
👍 ☺
Exactly
It flopped because it didn't need to be remade. People are tired of the old slave/servant programming narrative.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Right it's 2024 we tiredddddddddd of that 💯🎯💯
Go see American fiction
Yassss
But box-office had nothing to do with what she should have been paid prior
First of all the color purple was a flop because they turned it into a musical and changed the way the original movie was. I’m glad I waited for it to stream on Max and I turned it off within 10-15mins at the beginning
And her face when Gayle asked her was she gonna quit acting just broke my heart. I love her man she is one of the best white black don’t matter she up there with the greats
If Taraji quits acting, I don't know if I will watch TV again. She made me want to watch it. Especially when her and Terrence Howard were acting together.
White Black? What's that?
@@Eulogy10 they meant, white,black don't matter. Meaning it doesn't matter what race she plays or what role, "white,black"
@@MonicaGriego22 ohh, fair
The real issue is how black, professional women are undervalued in every organization, entertainment and otherwise.
Stop the cap! That was 30-40years ago & yall still playing victim?! Black women are ceos presidents & running companies & one is vice president right now quit the victim rhetoric we tired of it
Gail used the word audacity as a rude or disrespectful behavior impudence gail was being rude and disrespectful on the under to Taraji
Absolutely
The way Gail worded this shit was highly disrespectful. I had to pause the video and play it back at that part cuz 'Audacity'? I would have been ready right then and there to tell her off. I can't mess with Gail or Oprah no more period. Done with them.
Gail's breath probably smell like donk. She always got her face in Oprah's behind.
She knew exactly what she was doing! She's attached at the hip to okra!
Her bestie told her to do it
Taraji you are a ⭐ and you will never stop shining. If no one has ever told you mama you are loved .
This too will pass and you will rise far beyond what you could ever even imagine .....I love you for just being you never stop doing you mama❤❤❤❤
Team Raji. She has the right to speak her mind. Oprah is worth like 3 billion, she could have good her the remaining 350k out of her pocket. At least Tyler did give her thr 500k for the movie she did with him.
Tyler, owns the studio and paid her $500K because that's what she asked for because he calls ALL the shots. And remember Tyler never spends more than $20M to make a film. Oprah didn't need to her squat! Tarjai is a grown arse woman, if the math was mathin, she should showed them her hand! But nawh, she took the money and then complained....NOT COOL!
So Steven Spielberg is worth 4.8 billion, which is 2 billion more than Oprah and 4+ billion more than Quincy, but Oprah should pay the 350K out of her pocket.
50 I love you. You are so real. Thank you for being a real man!
50 Cent is a grown ass man still carrying a grudge because Oprah didn’t like his music because it’s violent and he still butt hurt about. It ain’t nothing real about him bashing somebody because of his ego being hurt. His music is violent based on drug dealing and violence in the street so he needs to get over it. Oprah ain’t gotgot to like his music.
I ALWAYS LOVE ❤️ 50 CENT’S , BEFORE YOU CAME FAMOUS. GOD, PLEASE CON’T ON TAKING 50 CENT’S AND FAMILY. KEEP HIM NEAR THE CROSS. AMEN!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😇
Where was 50 cent when ghost needed to get paid.. they fired him!!
I really hope Taraji doesn’t bow down to these people and stands her ground. I know it’s easier than said but sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself!!!
Yep, she stood for self, and be broke. Think these actions thru first
Taraji is so Beautiful 👏💜❗️
Thank you Tariji for speaking out 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 That's where the solution starts from 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
50 ...fucken right! Taraji is a queen...point,blank, period
Oprah showed her true colors
When she did the Toni Braxton interview
She been on my radar since then
Oprah Winfrey treated Toni Braxton so bad !! Oprah is dirty
& when she interviewed those boys that lies on Michael Jackson.
Me too!!
She did Dave Chappelle DIRTY
My opinion, Winfrey is always been two-faced and this is my opinion she treats Black people different than she does Caucasian people. She always has an always will ever since she’s been on TV when she took over the talkshow many many years ago.!!
Glad to hear my all time crush Taraji speak in a black Woman voice. I love it! Stand up for your rights! Don't even mentioned bigger crush Gabrielle just yet beautiful Afro Women
Black man here.. I love all my BW! Dont stop, yall break through is close, God will put it in front of you in his time❤
Facts 😂😂💯
Thanks king 🙌🏾
I agree King Brother!!
Dale king's top show was sabotaged by Oprah when she said. Why do you have those steps there? And it goes to nowhere why set look like that? And the next thing I know king show was the endso. Come on, stop putting yourself down and make itself better. Everything I told do by the greatest God and you all seem to understand that, but give those actresses and active what they deserve. And you know that they all work more than 500 thousandlook at the work that they put in. And sick or not. They still have to go on to continue the show to entertain people like myself. I enjoy the work but I don't enjoy listening to the greed and selfishness. Oprah have everything a God had given to her. Stop short changing the women that also are doing work for you death not nice
Everything doesn't come out correctly of what I'm saying, but I think you got my drift. God is in control and always will be
50 keep telling the truth and shaming them devils.
50 , keep opening our eyes 👀 to the wickedness of the industry 😢🙏🏾
Taraji P is an amazing actress facts if the color purple did flop it wasn't because of Taraji P performance period Ohpra could of made it right for Taraji P #haters
Absolutely 💯
Taraji and Monique should start their own production studio
This!!!
I agree with Taraji. That's my girl. She is right, I thought after Proud Mary I would have seen her career rise! Taraji and many more deserve better! They need to stop giving our talented and fabulous BLACK WOMEN their worth!!!!
I love taraji movie she is a very great actress ❤
I love you Taraji... Keep pressing!
Taraji's talented, gifted, real and sincere in every movie she's in. I love watching every Taraji movie , She puts so much energy and charisma in her work
Oprah doesn't want any other black female to surpass her. Taraji just standing up for the truth. Oprah has to realize one day she has to come off the top because you can't stay up there always.
Yeah, that must be it. Thank you for making it make sense. I mean, she must be doing some type of black magic to keep black women from surpassing her.
I remember hearing the most infuriating story about Taraji and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. During filming, she had to PAY FOR HER OWN HOTEL ROOM!! She was one of the STARS of the film, and yet she was treated like she wasn't even part of cast & crew. Do you think Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett paid for their own hotel rooms while filming??? DOUBT IT. And shame on David Fincher for allowing one of the MAIN actors of his film to be treated that way. Taraji is OVER it. I feel for her so much.
I hear a lot of people saying they either didn’t like the movie or just didn’t wanna watch a musical
I personally didn't want to watch a musical
The color purple didn’t need to be remade. It was one and done for me
yeah i didn’t realize it was a musical until i was halfway through
It was said
Why would I want to watch a movie that disrespected the actors? As a woman that talks so much about equality Oprah should have paid this cast at least their actual value. It shows that actors have more power than they think. They can make a movie or break a movie. I appreciate Tariq for her fight and will support her.
Anything Oprah and her good old boys put out for now on we gonna boycott that too
Immediately!👿💩
BS not me...sounds like yall jealous of her success. OPRAH is and will always be the Queen
I Agree !!!
I Agree !!!
I Agree !!!
We represent more than just Chicken George stories now. Do a movie about all of the inventions. Do more movies of greatness or just regular human beings with interesting stories. Taraji did the lady that help put man in space.
Or do a movie about George Washington copper how he Rose up from slavery to greatness becoming one of the greatest black scientists that the world has ever seen do a movie about that if you gotta do a movie about Slavery types no that's too much like right that shows George Washington cover succeeding Is out of slavery
I love that you wrote this because this is so correct.
@@none_collins9056 Thanks ❤!
Right we didn't need a remake of that honestly 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Yes! a great movie abt the black women who sat behind the scenes n made NASA or even my favorite of all times "Something the Lord Made!" another true story starring Mos Def based on Vivian Thomas a black man who never went to Medical School but yet assisted on the "Blue Baby" surgery which was a success and the inventor of the Stent for ppl needing bypass surgeries!

The truth of the matter is people want to see uplifting content and stories. I don’t want to see depressing stories. I can watch the news for sad stories. It’s a shame how we black people treat each other. This is a struggle for black women in every field. We don’t have to accept it! Thank you Taraji for standing up. These people don’t make Billions by being nice. There is ruthlessness that comes with their success.
