Drew first pointed out how it's wild how the story has resurfaced, with the talk show host describing the revelation as"so bizarre."
"So here's what happened. I go and I audition and first of all, I was so excited to meet you... and it went really well," she began."So, I go and I audition, then you go home and you wait and you hope to get the response which is, 'You're going to get the job.' I didn't get the job. It's okay, it happens."
The"You People" star said that now looking back, she believes there was a bigger reason why she wasn't cast. "I think this is just a result of the fear of really putting a Black woman into a film that never cast anyone Black," she continued."It was a first time for them. There was this initiative to cast more Black women, have more Black women on set, but Hollywood wasn't quite doing it because I remember during that time I actually auditioned for so many roles that weren't written Black to the point where I was exhausted.
But that's why their are auditions. What is the issue here?
That was racist to say Nia looked younger than all the ladies years ago and she looks better then them now and still looks way younger than all of them 😂😂
Sooo, Hollywood is vein? Holy shit, alert the press, this is a real game changer here.🙄
It was a good conversation.
and only 30 centuries after the fact, so timely this stuff...
Can we stop insulting drew? Why is she being called old & ugly? She didn't reject Nia.
Who fucking cares? Poor baby didn’t get the role. Do we send canned hams?
Names of who you auditioned for.
I mean they not lying...
I don’t doubt that at all. It’s not like Nia is blaming Drew. She’s just saying what Hollywood told her which is more than likely true if you know anything about the industry.
Nia looks good.
Drew is a slob
I just read the article and she said it was about about diversity and Hollywood wasn’t ready and only wanted white actresses, did she forget that Lucy liu was in the film and is Asian
She looks old I this pic too
Nia is now wearing the hair of a 7yo asian girl
Them yt folks got jokes 🤣. You can reject her all you want but pls the drag ain't dragging telling a black woman a yt one looks younger than her thus she can't be casted.
Never that Nia looks younger tho they was hating
Uhm Nia looks younger than Drew then and now and I like Drew.
DrewBarrymore it was her color, age was an excuse. That shouldn’t have been tolerated either.
So what
BS
Nia long and Lauren London looked so good in their new movie ‘you people’ 😫😍
On what planet?
Well in real life, Drew is aging like a banana and Nia looks FABULOUS!
TooFab It was because she was black that’s ridiculous.
TooFab This is probably true. Look at all the outrage for the little Mermaid that’s coming out and it’s 2023. Racism in America is still bad but back then it was worse.
TooFab Too old huh.
