THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES
"Too often, Black women who have made meaningful contributions in their industry are left out of historical narratives. Back when Salt n’ Pepa was building our legacy, which is rooted in empowering women, I could not have dreamed that this same group would one day disempower me. Words cannot fully express my disappointment when I learned a decision was made to move forward with a Lifetime biopic that wrongfully excluded me from every aspect of development and production, ... There’s nothing more unacceptable than a woman being silenced by another woman." - DJ Spinderella, née Deidra Muriel Roper, in a series of tweets criticizing Lifetime’s new “Salt- N- Pepa" biopic for excluding her from being involved in the filmmaking process while also depicting her in the film.
