Femi I 100% agree with your point of view regarding how we deliver our grievances; private talk not out in the open where our enemies use this against us as sisters🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
Totally agree 💯
I understand the issue of keeping this issue private. That's the problem. Keeping the issue private gives the appearance that nothing is wrong. Putting it out in public people can't say that they didn't know. Women sexually abused by Harvey Weinstein kept silent. What did that do? It gave him permission to continue his disgusting behavior. Women were at risk. They should have heard something about the man and his behavior. A course correction can't be made in silence. Telling the truth shames the devil. Oprah is not too rich to learn a lesson. The financial backers don't care about black women. The scapegoat is Oprah. They should be called out, too. It ain't just Oprah. Anyone notice that Steven Spelberg's name hasn't been mentioned? It should be.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
100% sis
I agree with you wholeheartedly 🙏🏽
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aunt Fumi,
The problem is not what Monique said.. she spoke the truth. The problem is that most black people never show up for each other. Being on a all black cast we should have roll out the red carpet for each other. If it was a predominantly white cast the carpet would be rolled out. If it was a black person cast in a white film the carpet would be rolled. So when we have the opportunity to have a all black cast with someone as influential as Oprah all these minor things should have been present without having to ask. As Blacks why do we always have to beg or ask for things that is deserving???
Next thoughts... I feel for Taraji and understand where she is coming from but thinking of my pay check and out of my little that is a lot and uncle Sam taking everything, paying for health care, for social security and everyone else that needs to slave me out before I get my bread to eat is sickening.
People do you know that in America we pay taxes and when we file for our taxes for the previous year the government tax us again on our taxes. This is sad...to work hard and feel like You were just rob.
We have to make do with what we have for the life style we have or want.
I work hard and I know actors deal with a lot but show me a person that don't have to work 1, 2 or 3 jobs to make life.
We have to negotiate and speak up for ourselves and most importantly black people have things hard because when we should be unified with one voice everyone wants to speak against each other and that one voice becomes a loud noise and chatter.
I am just sharing my thoughts and I am praying that this matter and the way we treat and deal with each other will become better.
Thank you and let's make 2024 better than the previous years in our lives and do things different to make a positive change.
Thank you.
thankyou 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
This comment said it ALL!
Yes 🙌
I totally agree!
TRUTH is TRUTH.....say it as it is cut throat...im proud of my Sisters for speaking OUT PERIOD‼️
That part🌻 say it so the people in the back can hear🌻💛🌻
Fumi, this is the 1st time that I've ever disagreed w/you. Monique didn't do anything. They wanted her to do press for the movie for free. It was hateful, nasty & mean to be blackballed, by black ppl no less. So now Taraji cried & now we're standing by her & black ppl. Period. The only question there is, is that is it true or not?? When you go thru bs the only important questions are when, how, when, where. Is it true or not.
I don’t think Fumi was concerned whether it was true or not. Sounds like she knows what Monique said was true. Fumi disagreed with how she conveyed it. Well I personally, can hardly remember everything that Monique said, so she might be talking about her tone and delivery??
Yes she did not bother to check that out. Monique did not do anything wrong and she was never rude on her delivery
I agree with you!
Why should Monique should have done anything. Monique said what she said. Period
Exactly
exactly, none of the supported her when she did. Monique is paid as she wanted and minding her business
FACTS!
I agree. She is saying the truth. The only reason a lot of ppl can't be in her side is bc she came for oprah. Black woman in the industry are too afraid to come for Oprah bc of all that she has done for them. See that's why you can't owe anyone anything. The reason being, people will complain that you are biting off the hand that feeds you. The thing about having self respect is when you can say. I appreciate all you do, BUT this was not what I deserve or qualify for. I don't think that someone should continue to work in a field where they are not valued. If there is no choice, she will need to find a way to find peace in the struggle. Bc as woman of color I am now seeing how I am living and paid compared to my counterparts.
Fumi… 700k….. let me congratulate you….. here’s to over 1 mil this year… Do we live…Do we love 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
I don't get why people think Monique's delivery should have been different. She spoke up and that is courageous and l'm 💯 behind her.
Same here.❤
They are used to see black folks in beggar position instead of bein empowered and assertive
Fumi and Tabitha Brown should do a collab. Because these two queens are the most positive people out there. Your words of encouragement are priceless.
Why do we have to filter so much because we’re Black women? We have to apologize for everything even when we get done wrong! I don’t know!
Amen! You get sick of having to scream for the bare minimum.
@@Da-hellFreesHorseSlaves Amen! I hear yo sista!
And its always from US. It's sickening. How can any other groups have pity towards us if we can't even have the same towards eachother
First- the accent.
2nd is-the laugh- 3rd is the wisdom... Thank you for representing Us
Yes, Fumi. It has to be IN THE CONTRACT! Taraji has been in the industry long enough to know this. You learned it after the films you did. Taraji’s agent failed her, not the producers.
And a lot of these agents are just as bad as the execs.
That would suggest that not one star in the cast had it in their contract. Also It gives me pause and reason to wonder this. If these amenities were not justified, or required based on the omission in her contract, why did Oprah quickly "fix" it and fulfill her request? Why did she fee compelled to express her sincerity and that she had been unaware of the error, when she responded in the interview? So, Oprah just got busy sortting something out that did not need sorting, simply because austensibly it was not in the actor's contract. I'm not sure about that.
As Denzel said, what you accept at the beginning is what you will keep getting. Jim Carrey got 1 million in Dumb and dumber and his co star got a fraction of that and his carreer never got anywhere
@@Crewelperleology Oprah has millions of dollars on the line! She wants to make a profit from the film, as do the other producers.
Well maybe it was in the contract , but the people /producers may have not stick to the contract because they were black women. So they e levy them to take whatever they got. Won’t surprise me at all. This would not be the case for others, why is it the case for black actresses. Don’t agree with the way they handled this.
Why isn't Warner's being attacked?
THAT PART!!!
Exactly! Oprah can only do so much, she is NOT a studio executive, the budget belongs to Warner Bros. As Fumi says, the negotiations are between studio executives and agent or am I wrong?
Exactly! attacking Oprah is so unfair.
Oh goodness that's not how it works in the black community we would rather attack our representatives rather than the ones with the pearl strings 🤦🏾♀️
Exactly 💯 😮
I'm observing so many layers to this saga. The racism of Hollywood that doesn't pay black actors the worth and respect they deserve. The lack of support and care by Black Hollywood for their own kind. The colourism on display of a lighter skinned and slender-build black actress getting unanimous support for saying the exact same thing that a dark skinned, big girl actress said years ago but was vilified for. The ongoing victimization of Monique after she has already paid the price for speaking her truth over the years. I really don't think Monique owes Oprah or Black Hollywood allegiance after what she's been through. She did her job as per her contract. She spoke out way after Precious was released back in 2009, way after she received her Oscar and way after the press junkets and events. She observed all that decorum. Instead of being taken seriously, she was blackballed and labeled as difficult for pointing out the same things Taraji's talking about. Nothing had changed. Monique has been vindicated and yet, we still want her to "be the better person" when none of the people speaking out now supported her? As for Taraji, she's already a victim of the system, and there's rarely a right or wrong way to speak your truth when you've been hurt by the people you didn't expect it from. We are also missing talking about how Gail stoked the situation by prodding both Taraji and Oprah with those inflamed questions. 2023/2024 is certainly looking like a period of revelation and it seems the chickens are all coming home to roost. Looks like we all have to hold on tight for what might be coming next😢
Love this comment, thank-you!
Nothing Left to say. Well put❤
Well said, Sis!
Perfectly said!! ❤
Need to stop labeling yourself. You are an actor, period.
STOP reminding the studios that you perceive yourself different from the industry. Then, perhaps they will forget about, the skin tone & focus on the talent
Beautiful Christina, thank u 4 dancing giving us joy, & African class. U & Fumi are our best big sisters on these youtube streets. We love y'all.
That’s sad. At least Taraji has people’s compassion, and being accommodated after she shared some of her concerns and experiences. Ever since I moved to this new State because of the pandemic, I’ve been crying and struggling to survive with my 9 to 5, working so hard, not getting paid what I’m worth. Not making enough to pay my bills. The cost of living is high, and the bills still need to get paid, and I still have to survive, eat, and live. I tried to do photography, but no one wants to pay. They want free photoshoots. It’s not easy out here, especially when you’re on your own, single, in a new State.
Prayers that everything gets better!
Have you tried some business marketing courses? You have creativelive that has lot of photography courses that give tips on positioning and marketing services to customers.
@@nicolescott1354 That means a great deal to me. Thank you kindly! I so very much appreciate it. I stand in agreement with you! 🙏
Thank you FumiNation for the Likes 👍! 💖🙏 Please keep me in your prayers that God will make a way and provide, open doors of opportunity, a better paying job, send people/clients who are willing to pay for their photoshoot, for me to have a safe, healthy, affordable, and stable place to live, and be able to pay my bills and afford healthy food to eat, and have a strong loving caring support system. In Jesus’ Name! God bless you all!🙏
I'm definitely keeping you in prayers 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love this dress! I'm a purple lover. 💜
I would love to see details of the contract!
Interesting thought, I honestly believe this is not an isolated situation, I’m sure other actor/actresses have experienced same said situ but chosen not to speak on it because the matter was addressed!
Mo’nique said what she said imo. It’s up to her and the powers that be as to how the outcome affects her working future. In fact, I’m tired of people of colour having to 🤐🤐 so as not to upset the status quo. It’s like everybody knows that Uncle is a p-do but it’s not disclosed for “sake of family”. Yes, speak out but make sure ducks are in a row.
I concur 100%. Why do we always have to struggle to be respected? Something like this just happened to me on my job🌻💛🌻
Peace, Blessings, Light & Love🌻
When Monique spoke out against what was going on she was always very calm , cool and polite in my opinion and she was right about everything just because she didn’t cry I think she handled herself very well and I Love you Fumi 😊
I was with her (Monique) until she said that Oprah, Lee Daniels, and Tyler Perry could suck her d##k; that's when she lost me.
Wow Mrs Fumi we can not get enough of you. We are good. You look gorgeous. I am watching Christina on her channel. She is our sister we have to support her. 2024 is the best year for advancement. Thank you for such inspiration. These stars are speaking up and I am here for them. These actors and actresses deserve their accolades. Their jobs are not easy. They have to act and memories. So proud of Taraji.
Seeing your intro makes me super happy your smile is as bright as the sun and you dress fabulous!
"If you feel like doing something do it." Aunty I REALLY NEEDED to hear this today. Thank you ❤❤ I really love and appreciate you.
Gm Fumi.. I believe sometimes we Need A Monique. We need not to be humble and quiet.. because it never gets though.. We are missed represented and missed understood... So sometimes just sometimes we need a Monique.. for Us.. if she hadn't stood up to oTp's and O's and whom else... It would not be known.. thanks for your input and classy way of getting messages though for All❤❤
This is a tricky one imo, dear Queen Fumi…I agree about the issue of ‘our enemies observing’ the ‘in fighting’, however in terms of Mo'Nique’s delivery of an important message, I wonder if it would’ve been accepted, however she delivered it. I love ❤️ that you’re a realist in so many ways, yet..the term ‘code switching’ comes to mind on this…not to mention that this is a criticism so often levied against Black women and our people in general when fighting for our rights and for our voices to be heard, “if only you were nicer about it.” “If only you were more professional.” Ultimately (maybe this is controversial) I believe (as far as possible) we should tell the unvarnished truth - even if it’s messy. I don’t think we have to always be perfect (I know you didn’t mean it like that🙏🏾)…I hope by Grace, in future, we’re given our due without always having to fight for it. We deserve all the good things too as you intimated. We are worthy. However we show up. Thank you for all you do. 💐💐✨❤️
They tellin’ us to DRIVE! Funny how you said that, Fumi. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Agree, we definitely need to support. It's not for the producers et al, but for these amazing women and for a classic story!!!
Fumi I LOVE YOUR HAIR BABY!!!! Yes 🙌🏾
I'm so glad, Fumi, that you comment on this. You said something I felt. At first her words came off as complaining but I had to reason on the issues the cast were facing, especially that some people were a little older. Having food is important so you don't starve, but some also may be on different meds that require not to take on an empty stomach or some may suffer with low blood sugar, etc. Where they are filming may not be near food restaurants so they are dependent on the producers or whomever is responsible for their food. At first I thought about why is she upset about driving herself. I had to realize she's famous. We've heard stories how some of the public can treat famous people. I remember Paula Abdul stalker committed suicide at her house. So Taraji was probably nervous. We know she was uncomfortable because she's talking about it. Her issues are valid. I think that these comments has caused the movie to suffer some. I too was extremely excited, but after her comments, I'm not so much. As you said timing is the key. What should have been extremely successful in our community, isn't at all. I'm sure this affects everyone's pay somehow. Not just the cast, but everyone behind the scenes, like the writers, wardrobe, makeup team, film team, etc.. I wish she had of waited even two months then spill the beans. Because Oprah did resolve the issues. Once she aired her grievances, then don't work with warner brothers again. What I hate is Monique didn't help either. Her words fanned the flames. Like you said Fumi, this is done in front of people who don't necessarily champion for us. It looks like a house divided. It seems to be our downfall and we can't seem to get past this behavior. This doesn't mean other cultures don't fight amongst themselves, but it's done behind closed doors. And they come together for their causes publicly. I know she's only human like the rest of us. I hope she will be able to find better pay for her job. She's absolutely talented and so is all of the cast. On a side note, if Monique is dissatisfied with the way business is run for actors in Hollywood, then she could start her own business. Supply what is needed for actors and actresses. Fill in the missing pieces because you can relate to their needs. You won't see them as just a number. You can help them progress. That's what I want for Monique and her followers would be gladly be supportive. Me also. But blaming Oprah every time is not solving anything nor helping anyone either.
I think the bad press has definately affected the movie
I think you should remember that Monique actually wanted to talk to Oprah and she refused. I think your criticism of Monique is unjustified. She is very articulate and respected for her decision to not be bullied by Hollywood. Unfortunately Black women in this country are viewed as angry when they don’t weep, cry or act subservient over injustices. Please be mindful that we all have different personalities. Choosing not to beg for what you deserve should not be frowned upon. Keep these issues “private “ is just one of the reasons this treatment has been prevalent in our community for so long. The same attitudes exist in every day lives in the Black community. Full disclosure leads to accountability no matter how one chooses to express themselves.
Did this all start when Gayle asked Taraji if it was true she was going to stop acting??? Would Taraji have spoken out???
So this movie does not make money.Do you think if affect Oprah? This controversy affects all the other black actors, producers and people who worked hard on this film. If I hire you and you created drama , that cause me not to make money, to cause my movie not to be no 1,do you think I will hire you again? People need to understand that for every action , there is a reaction whether it is good or bad. Loving the look Fumi❤❤❤
I think Oprah is concerned about Fantasia or Danielle getting an Oscar for the movie.
Hey Fumi. You have been doing an even more excellent job with your videos. Great job! I really like the new intro too. I love that you been encouraging us to move forward ahead with our desires and dreams.
Luv the hair! It's giving Grace Jones, baby!
I love 😍🥰 that purple 💜 wrap its beautiful 😍 as are you Fumi 😊
Listen at the way Gale was talking to Taraji a shame
I want a best friend like Fumi ❤🙏🏾
I think EVERYBODY need to stop being so precious and focused on the delivery of a message that is true, rather than listening and taking head to the message itself!! We keep making all kinds of excuses to distract from the truth of the message iself - PAY ATTENTION! STOP IT!! I don't care how a message was delivered, the truth is still TRUTH!!!!!!!!!
The truth is the truth.❤
Thank you funmi you’re a source of inspiration ; I have never been so inspired to start my own business because of what I hear from you everyday. Thank you 🙏 all my love ❤❤❤❤
I just want someone to tell me how, with a 100 million budget they couldn"t get food and transportation ? Seriously, just a simple explaination. From the comment sections l've read, many people who have worked in Hollywood say that this is the strict minimun (transportation)and it really helps actors and makes things safer for EVERYONE. Let this cast speak out. They have earned their right to air this dirty laundry.
Taraji took the spotlight off the color purple. With all that crying and complaining. There's a time and place for everything and that was not the time. Warner Brothers may not work with her again. This is not looking good for her
I Totally agree, she stepped on the earning for the film and hence future productions.
Warner Bros might not want to work with the other actors on the film again,it's just sad the black community does not see how everything has become worse and not better
But she might have wanted like that🤷♀️
👎🏾👎🏾
Yes I think her carreer is over. She should have handled this in a different way.
Lovevyou fumi but I disagree with your opinion of Monique's take on this.
Taraji needs better management. But I think her career will never recover from this. This movie was being touted for the Oscars, but she derailed the campaign. Even Monica waited until she got her Oscar before she publically complained.
👎🏾
Yes they are probably done with her.
Girl you are handling your luxe. That cut makes you look more youthful and vibrant. Loving it! Great choice! Being free to be yourself in your natural hair. I celebrate you.
Love this episode! Thank you x yes we are having a screening of colour purple! Can’t wait!
Sorry but it's not Monique's job to make her speech or how she feels and how she presents herself in this world palatable for anyone less alone our own people
I agree.
Facts. Leave Monique out of this. No stood ten toes down. I don't agree what Fumi on how Monique should have said or presented herself. No Mo was out here for year's and these are women shaded Mo Now it's Mo should have. Hell naw
Exactly. So many comments saying its how she said it. HOW SHOULD SHE SAY IT? Two comments above yours someone said Monique was putting iur business outside ...laughable
specially after how they turn their backs on her. She is well paid now and minding her business. The worst part is that I have never seen anything wrong with her delivery
I disagree. One thing about Oprah .
As black poeple why cover her. Wrong is wrong . Did Oprah came back to the ladies and really stand for the ladies. We will not have this mess if Oprah has done something about the situation.
Don't defend Oprah, and the same time say you understand the ladies. Nooo. The action of Oprah were wrong .
Study Oprah. No excuse for her.
The problem is she did fix whatever they said they had an issue with, just like Taraji got payed more as SHE said she almost didn’t take the part for THAT reason. No Oprah is and was NOT the problem. Why complain about something that was rectified it was wrong for Taraji to play this out the way she did especially when they got taken care of.
@@crystalscott9948 specially during the time that movie was being promoted.
When she said they were handpicked... yeah that right there.
Aunty fumi I agree 100% on what you said. We have been hearing this for a long time our people needs to be for each other by each other stop giving the enemy a way in. Ms O please be real with your fellow peers.
Fumi!!! I love you! Whoopi does make an appearance in the movie ❤️. May God continue to bless you🤗
Love the new look! 😊
We love you Fumi! I saw The Color Purple last night. It was great. I don’t want to give spoiler alert about a cast member in the movie that has not been mentioned. You will be surprised. Can’t wait till you see the movie ❤️
Say it Aunty Fumi❤ U r speaking my heart.
Wow!! You look absolutely fabulous Fumi!!! 💜🤍💜
Mummy Fumi your hair looks healthy,I love it.
I think it was bad timing on from Taraji behalf, folks are speculating about Oprah, and she also robbed the cast of their moment.
We always make our people look bad.
Taraji ain’t break no glass ceiling, in my opinion.
That was my question, what glass ceiling???
Thank you!!!!
It's never a right time to tell the truth especially to folks who don't want to hear it.
Love you Fumi. Wishing you all the happiness and wonderfullness coming to you honayy 🥰🤗
My first thought when I heard the complaint was what sort of contract did they sign? And what role did their agent play in helping them all. At best the overheads for all these activities are phenomenal. When people come to me and complain about their salaries I ask them what was in the contract and what did they sign to. In the corporate environment when you complain about money, be prepared to walk. They all should have complained in private. I consider them all fortunate because there are people out there who would have loved the opportunity to be part of the performance. What does it profit a man to gain (opportunity to be part of the show) and lose his soul (what is the motive for complaining publicly) ? Is it to destroy another person’s credibility or Is it an opportunity to get more coins in your next contract? I sincerely pray they all find peace and contentment, it is not easy for everyone. I hope they all find true worth and happiness from within ❤ Thank you FUMI and a Happy New Year to you and your family. I subscribed to your channel because my Mum went to Holy Child College
@@margh737I am for a growth mindset, I just don’t understand why one has to complain to everyone. When you have a grievance, I pray you have the courage to face the culprit. If not hold your peace and let God fight your battles.Peace
Sista Fumi this is the 1st time I don't agree. But with that being said it goes back to what we say the black woman is the most disrespected, underrated, under protected being. They expected those women to be ok with less, they are black. Angella Bassett received a "Honorary" Oscar, while she is up there with the best Meryll, Glenn et al... She deserved more that "Honorary".... We have to create our own clubs!!!!
Also could it just be that they had, had conversations regarding this behind closed doors and no one was not listening to them until it escalated into something else! We are always told to do things behind closed doors, choose the right way of talking etc.. And those points are valid and true. However, when someone does not take into consideration what you are going through, after doing all of those said things, there is always going to be a pushback. I believe that is what we are seeing... I feel like 2023 was the year of EXPOSURE and 2024 is the the year of TRUTH & JUDGEMENT... Just my honest opinion!!...
Very likely. Also, very probable that the contract, at least Taraji's, was/were NOT being honored because this cast did not have the complexion for protection. Likely they did try to address it and had to call in Oprah. I have had items in my contract and had to FIGHT to have them honored while I watched my peers, mostly non-Black fighting for nothing and getting everything plus. When it came time, I pulled out the receipts diplomatically. My peers were "stunned" by my experience and productivity given the minimal support that I had received. I had been swimming like a duck, but trust me, I was exhausted. Taraji had enough of business as usual.
My Darling Fumi this message was more than its title;
Your message is a key to professional success on engaging others the proper way to achieve your wants snd needs; after listening to you I will revamp how I will present my concerns - this video is another diamond, thank you all my love to you, Hubby and Adrian s💐💝🙏🏿👏🏾🙏🏿
I don't give two cents about what goes on in HOLLYWOOD,but whenever FDV has to make a commentary on trending topics in the industry,I come to listen because I know she takes it on from a human point of view. I totally agree that while MONIQUE (once my idol) may be speaking some hard facts, it's the salt and vinegar with which she uses to say it that wasn't right. She just ended up "putting our business out like that"! That's why Black actors are struggling, because we don't know when and where to fight. And these squabbles are sure going to ruin the success of THE COLOR PURPLE 😢😢😢
I agree with you 💯percent ! It’s not what you say, but how you say it.
I was told as a young woman that a closed mouth doesn't get fed🌻 We are all human living a human experience🌻 each and everyone of us would like to be treated equally🌻💛🌻 So, if the movie fails from what has been said in the media. "So Be It🌻"
I agree with you 💯! I love the way you eloquently explained how this business works and who is in charge of the basic needs of the cast. You're correct these basic needs for the cast should've been provided from day one. I'm happy Taraji spoke up. Someone had to stand up for what's right. Many of us speak out of ignorance because we're not familiar with what it takes to make a movie. Well said and thank you ❤
Luv ❤ the sisterhood between you and Christina!!
Stunning auntie fumi just gorgeous💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Right message...wrong time and place. For me, Taraji's behavior was completely unprofessional. She has been in the business long enough to know that negotiations, complaints, etc. are done behind closed doors with agents and attorneys, not during press tours. She will more than likely have to take a seat for a while, she is very talented, so this is unfortunate. What I would love to see is these actors come together to do more than just cry and beg for white handouts, and create opportunities for themselves so they don't have to deal with this type of nonsense.
That’s the problem, folks always want to discuss irregularities behind closed doors. No speak your truth in public about the dirty way Hollywood treats actors. Why do you think there was a strike for 100+ days???
@@fosterfoster6472 well that's not how it works you think if you stand outside your work office and scream I want better pay your boss will hear you out.... think about it because that's what Taraji did she accepted little then complained about it unfortunately her complaints are going to affect the other actors portfolios not just hers.
So needed to hear this Fumi!
Keep being Beautiful Fumi❤
This talk Queen this talk Queen is why you're here thank you
Whoopi Goldberg plays a tiny part in the movie.
I wish she would have had more of a bigger part
Good Afternoon 😃 the lovely Fumi 🌸🌞🌟🌺😍
.While we shouldn't air our dirty laundry, the "Go along to get along, that is just the way it is..." behind closed doors ADVICE from same racial identity peers or seniors in your field is TERRIBLE. Taraj was tired of heeding that advice. I work in a different profession but with a similar experience of different standards for Black women and "sage" advice to be quiet, put your head down, and work hard or harder, that can and often diminishes your professional advancement and well-being. Taraj was tired and took the risk to speak out. How about we change the narrative and speak out about where we would like to see her next vs. "She'll never work again." As a veteran on the set, she took a risk the younger stars were unwilling to do because of the "sage" advice in those "Hollywood Streets". Pause and think about it. Something had to give and people need to stand up. Further, from what I have read and heard from interviews, she stays clear of the casting couch that Fumi has discussed numerous times on this show. This is another reason why she is likely paid less than her quality of acting. I am 100% positive that what she shared is the iceberg. Close rank and support her, by doing so we support others who look like her and deserve their worth.
Fumi you are so classy and beautiful!!! Such a blessing to these "UA-cam streets" haha!!! ❤️🥰
I can't believe this is 2024 ..wow ..I've listened but I wasn't really paying attention to the details..wow
This disgusting to see and hear this ..an all black film and look at all this mess..smh
Exactly! Spot on.😮
That’s why it happened…its all black so treat them like crap.
Congratulations on 700K subscribers Fumi 🎊
We as black ppls have to support this film support our crew let us pull together and send the message that we still stick together no matter what
Just love you ..thank ..FREE MYSELF love that ... beautiful my big sister I never had ..Fums❤️❤️
Honestly, I think how Monique and her man talk is the way how this things need to be addressed at the end Monique got paid what she desserved and her carreer is going well. Dave Chapelle did the same and got the rights of his show back and was paid accordingly. Denzel had to check some Jewish producers on a very racist script. See, Taraji was gentle, people felt bad for her but still didn't get what she wanted, because she did not take a clear stand, she still takes the low pay checks, she got empathy but now she is blackballed, the movie flopped. Honey doesn't really work in cases like this.
FUMI I just wanted to say I love your laugh it’s fabulous💗🙏
Uh Oh.... I think this is a first Fumi. Monique was very clearn, gentle, graceful in her statement on the audio you presented and with regard to the bonnets. She was not aggressive or brash. I feel they have a problem with Monique because she IS so articulate and she has the receipts to all what she is saying. All of the black prominent actresses are saying exactly what Monique said, Taraji is now stressed about and what Angela Bassett previously noted. Sorry Fum's I LOVE OPRAH & The Color Purple, but you were wrong on this one Sis.
A lion does what a lion does so don't expect her to come quietly. She's been hurt and not dealing with her properly made this mess and the same with Ms Henson. Now she spoke softly about it and what good came of that. Really hurt is hurt time for a round table meeting to start healing so this never happens again. Deal with it.❤
Love your hair💕
I promise you when auntie Fumi started calling out the white actors names, and saying that would never happen I was like you are so effing right I mean really she hit the nail on the head and it is so ridiculous that Taraji got to go through this I don’t give a damn I’m pissed with Oprah. I’m pissed with everybody. I’m pissed with Warner Brothers. I’m pissed with everybody for that, because we love Taraji and this is some BS I really want to go off and curse them all out and I do not want to support what the hell they got going on but I want to support my black sisters for sure
But it's not Oprah's fault. Did you not hear her. This should have been handled by Taraji's management. Also Oprah is one of many producers so why go after her and not the other producers who are white. Y'all love to attack your own.
I think it would have been more strategic for Taraji to wait until the movie did is thing, however I think it was an organic moment, it had to be difficult to go through the whole process of making the film, while your heart is broken for being so disrespected and demeaned, we needed to know this, it happens in all types of work scenarios, the micro racism is violent to your soul and your sense of being. My only concern is that we will not see how much the movie could profit and how much it does "translated" overseas, so she could make an argument with those points, my concern is that she is now going to be labeled as problematic and that it translates to the box office. Good people have to learn to play the game when you are dancing with the devil.
Taraji talking about quitting is moot. No one will hire her after she intentionally destroyed the promotion and earning potential for the film. I do wonder if her ill timed angst has something to do with the fact that there was Golden Globe Award buzz around Fantasia and the amazing support Davonne, not Taraji? After all she knew what her Agent negotiated when she accepted the role. Her timing stinks!!!
@@alikazan24🙄🤫what you’ve suggested definitely crossed my mind. Taraji has been around long enough to know the game. Her agent would have negotiated her contract for the number of minutes she appears on screen (if you’re on screen for at least 20 minutes, then your eligible for Oscar or award contention, at least that’s what I recall) and would have had in her “rider” the trailer, transportation and door requirements (vegetarian etc).
The Oscar and Golden Globe buzz around Fantasia and the other actresses must have stung Taraji who has been around a long time and these up and coming actresses were having their moment. I admit I did think of this. Sadly, timing was all off. Sell and promote your product. Believe in it so that others will believe and buy it. Support the team of coworkers with whom you may work again down the line.
Crabs in a barrel. I hate to admit that. At least two were climbing to the top and now….
Time and opportunity. Get the film to succeed as best it could. It was your labor and ultimate work product. Make it profitable.
Then after Christmas and after the box office comes in from overseas, two months maybe, then go sit with Gail. Share your truth. Or find a platform where you could have said: “I’m very proud f all the hard work my sisters and I put into making this film. Honored that we were handpicked. Grateful for the opportunity and thrilled my fellow sisters are being nominated for their talents. And grateful to all our fans who went to see the film in theaters not on e but twice or more. We were very successful at the box office.” “ now, I need to share the harsh devastier realities of behind the scenes and what’s really happening to some if not most black actresses in terms of equal pay and treatment.”
Now I understand Vivica’s “shady comment.” She worked on Empire with Taraji. She knows her. She knows the business. Yeah, could she have said things differently? Sure. But it’s a world of illusion. People are competitive and jealous of each other when they sense there isn’t enough to go round, or only one spot and then the colorism issue. It happens in our places of work too.
Can’t help but feel this complaining tanked the film, but may also have done the opposite and may now affect Taraji’s career. Sad. 😮😢
Timing is everything. 🙁
@@RorieBrito thank you! In my opinion, you have succinctly described what Taraji SHOULD HAVE done. It’s hard to understand why she would react so recklessly, lacking the intentionality and negotiation you detailed. That’s what makes me think it was about the awards, an emotional reaction…which seldom considers the consequences. She has shot herself in both feet! I agree it is sad. I have always appreciated her as an artist and her energetic personality. She was a great Shugg! What a waste.
Good morning Aunty Fumi, great one as always! I don't agree, however, with your Mo'nique comments. I think she's been very graceful. You are a big fan of people being true to themselves. Mo'nique was exactly that. Just my 2 cents!
There is nothing unprofessional about telling the truth. Taraji just said what many others were afraid to say. Whatever decisions she makes ,then that's up to her. We need more people to be vocal about the inequities in Hollywood. Love your outfit Fumi. That color is stunning on you.❤
FUMI'S LOOKING FABULOUS 🎉🎉
Hey Fumi! Monique is a STRONG BLACK WOMAN. Strong people don't hesitate to speak out, or sugar cool anything.
Well I don’t know if that has much to do with it. I just think people don’t mess with Oprah, and how many times do they want us to see this movie! The original was okay! I don’t know if anyone wants to hear broken English, racism, sexism remarks , and see abuse on screen all the time. We are pretty much over that. They just keep throwing it in our faces. Color purple needs to be retired for good. Some of us just aren’t interested in seeing it.
Thank you! I won't be seeing it either
Whoopi had a part in the movie. I think she was the only one who played in the original that had a part, though very small.
The way I love this wrap!!! Fumi go to a barber for a shapeup so they can smooth out the shape of your cut! I am loving the short hair on you and think i will do the same
Fumi i love the organza. i agree with what you say . i wish we could sole our disputes privately . i tried not to be bothered by what our enemies say but i was very annoyed, when i saw a headline they are now fighting for more money for picking cotton.
Fumi you are positive and i love your energy. xx
Black women have always been silenced since the beginning of time. We have always been thrown the crumbs and expected to accept and appreciate it without complaining. Its very tiring, draining and exausting. Immediately you speak up, you are dabbed "the angry black woman". I understand Taraji`s frustration and outcry. And I also understand sista Fumi`s delivery. Black women are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Lovely outfit.You look gorgeous Fumi
This should not have been a public discussion
Sometimes one has to fight ugly. Not everyone can be diplomatic.
Love the Fit Fumi!🎉
Auntie Fumi, black women have always been expected to swallow B.s and exercise decorum in everything. We are always taught to be quiet and demure and just accept stuff. I get the timing was wrong for this issue to come out, BUT these are A-list actors, at least Taraji is; there is no way shape or form that this is acceptable in any way. They could have come up with this after the tour, yes, but it’s always the case, and it wouldn’t have had as much traffic as it is now; however, Taraji couldn’t take it anymore because she always goes through it, unlike Fantasia who is a singer (you can’t compare) and the other cast.
*Fumi you are FABULOUS darling 💃*
Hello Lady Fumi, I have been enjoying your content for some time now, but have decided to take the plunge after seeing how you supported your Friend Christina, celebrated her success and was genuinely happy for her. You have my respect. You have made several very poignant statements in this post that I felt you were whispering a message just for me. Thank you so much. Your Canadian Sister🇨🇦🌹
