4:43Now PlayingIn the Digital Streets, actress Zazie Beetz addressed the colorism controversy surrounding her role as Stagecoach Mary in “The Harder They Fall.”
In an interview with the Times U.K., Beetz said, “I could see that the characters were largely based on fiction and not truly on their historical counterparts, and that none of the characters actually bore much physical likeness to the actors that played them.”
In his new memoir, actor Will Smith admits that he was jealous over the friendship that his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and rapper Tupac Shakur had. He said, “I hated that I wasn’t what he was in the world, and I suffered a raging jealousy. I wanted Jada to look at me like that.”
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
