"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry because I love her music," thestar expressed. "It wasn't enough. With that said, she's one of our giants and someone else should step up. Somebody else should tell her story."
Not only does Saldana believe that Simone deserves for her story to be told, but she thinks it's one American audiences should hear. "We've been appropriating ourselves with someone like Nina Simone for a very long time," she added. "And I just want her story to be told, and I want it to be right, because she deserves it. And America deserves it. Because the Americans that inhabit today's America deserve her story to be told."Before concluding this particular topic, Saldana promised that she knows better and will not make this kind of mistake again.
She shared, "I know better today, and I'm never going to do that again. Never. I'm learning. I'm still processing it. I've been processing it for ten years, and I think it's a conversation that I wanna have."
I am confused is she not black?
She knew better in 2016 but wanted the role anyway. zoesaldana needs to stop it
So she’s black but not black enough ? Jesus Christ!!! What about all that talk that even us latinos have black people, so not we’re not black enough? people make up your damn mind
Hollywood is SO over
This is retarded
Is she *not* black? Asking for myself....
Isn’t she black? Or is she not black enough? 🧐🤯🙄
🤢🤮 the actors and actresses who now are regretting their different ACTING roles is just ridiculous!! It makes you look pathetic. Stand by your work and stop your whining! If it is such a big deal for them they shouldn’t have pursued the roles in the first place. Rant over 😁
Lmao
Wow this race this gets annoying. She should not be apologizing. She's black too. Period.
Omg so annoying
Omg stop already
I thought she's black..she's not?
Girl Bye! Can’t take it back! You had plenty to say about why he could be any women and blah blah. Reap what you sow!!! We dealing with greater issues chica
This is so ridiculous...
But... Why is that? Because Zoe is Latina? But she's black 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
It was 4 years ago, it's not a big deal She's only feeling bad and apologizing before stupid CancelCulture goes after her
So then are we going to get an apology for the wayons brothers for putting on 'white face' for white chicks.. one sided mess. Zoe is beautiful she felt inspired and did her job as an actress.
Dumb.
adamjohnsharpe
What?! She’s Black 🙃
Crazy
Wtf So stupid 🙄
🙄
Has anybody seen this film?
Cancelled
She should give her salary for the role to a black cause. Should help clear her conscience.
Lmao at her saying this now when even Ninas own daughter thought she wasn’t right for the role. She didn’t care back then despite the huge amount of backlash so I dunno why she’s pretending to regret it now.
She shouldn’t have apologize bye
Jesus Christ, enough with the damn apologies already...
Someone needs attention. 🙄🙄🙄
She green
But she is a black woman. I think she should have said “a woman with a darker skin”.
What are you, a high yellow? 🤔
Ok Elon
Apologising for doing your job? Okay
Zoe Saldana is not black?
One of these things is not like the others, One of these things is not the same, Oneof these things is not like the other, Oneof these things she should be ashamed.
I accept the apology, but only if you give the money you made from it back and void the contract? Let us know with a video for documentation.
India Arie should have played her part.
Then give back your paycheck.
That was ACTING..Whats the matter with all of you in Hollywood
How much did you get paid for your roll?
She is a black Dominican actress! Who was hired to play a role this is just ridiculous what is going on! So no one is going to be able to do a role unless is your same race?
But u knew it was wrong wen u was filming, there's nothing wrong but don't wait til its a time wen ppl is making others accountable... then hurry up n bring dis up before it came to u.. U should've had the same thought but u wanted a coin...
For what ...? Geesh
Okay what movie is she filming that she needs good publicity. 🙄
Ridiculous, she wasn't blue or green either
I've never watched it
Apologies for everything. My apologies if that is offensive. Sorry.
If only her acting were as convincing 🤷🏻♂️
2016!!!!
+ the movie was boring
My wife will look like Zoe... and be as smart as her 😀
It’s called ACTING... We know as a public. And no one didn’t complain none that I seen. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
They are actors. They are paid to act. It’s not real. So I’m confused why they all need to apologize for doing a job? If you don’t like it don’t watch it
i think she's just doing some publicity stunt during this times
She needs to apologize for playing Gamora, too. That role should have gone to an authentic green skinned alien.
Please just stop 🤬
never have regret no need to apologize you are good at what u do
Hypocrite!
😂😂😂😂
So, are we at the point where the only roles people can play are themselves?
Never saw it and I never heard of her.
Why are actors apologizing for acting ? Like wtf?! I really don’t understand what’s going on.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, stop this abject insanity.
Wait...isn't she black? Zoe, I mean?
She did nothing wrong. Woke culture just causes people to hate themselves due to their own skin color. Toxic culture.
You should have never played her. You’re way too pretty. Someone extremely unattractive like Leslie Jones should’ve played her. Or Michelle Obama.
Never apologize to the mob. Pretty sure there was no mob though.
You people, and I mean this with all sincerity, are completely and utterly insane.
Acting is dead.
But did she receive an award for this role? I never heard of it.
Ridiculous to apologize for this!🤦🏻♀️
Zoe is a black Dominican woman. WTF did I miss?
The .1% of the population that was offended by her playing Nina Simone should apologize
“But I’m still keeping the money I made” 😢
This is insane.
NO-ONE's shading tears here! They should have gotten 2 blondes to play as 2 black men; who then went under cover as blondes, right?
FFS
Omg really All Hollywood can do is talk out of he side of their head and cry 'oh poor me' ?
Are you insane? zoesaldana you are an actor, you played a role. Period. This is sick, confusing & simply unfair! People 'STOP'! I'm embarrassed for you & all others acting like this.
At what point do these weak people finally realize the mob has no real power? There's way more of us than them and it's not even close.
I'm waiting for the apology for playing a green alien. She's not even green. Tsk tsk!
Whatever
who cares......just another virtue signaling garden variety hollywood type trying to keep their name in the news.....this is getting so boring.....
So when is she repaying the money?
Donate your $$ from it then !!
Now do the Hamilton cast. Now do the Hamilton cast. Now do the Hamilton cast. Now do the Hamilton cast. Now do the Hamilton cast. Now do the Hamilton cast. Now do the Hamilton cast. Now do the Hamilton cast. Now do the Hamilton cast.
Apologize for playing a female also. You are not a woman!
Lol, pathetic! Get off your knees
She should have chosen a different profession....she can't act
I love how hollyweird still thinks they're relevant.they'll be gone In another 10-15 yrs,if they don't change...i don't want drama class weirdo's telling me they have it right and all the simple minded have it wrong.I remember high school geek.. and college, when you were su****'
Who?
Acting is dead
Why would she feel she needs to apologize? Her genetic make up includes African ancestry as do most darker complexion Latin Americans. My wife has Taino, African, and Spanish blood.
🙄
Please
Lolol. 🤮
zoesaldana complete ignorance of history is evident here we don't expect much from AirHeads like her he would have to read a book or two but I'm sure she hasn't done that
OMG! Can this just stop!? I'm sick and tired of people being sorry! It's ACTING...actors act for goodness sake! Zoe you were great! Own that!😊❤
😂
This is ridiculous. Some CancelCulture trolls probably harassed her into apologizing. Is zoesaldana going to apologize for StarTrek? Give back the money she made portraying a black woman? Uhura was groundbreaking character, including having the first inter-racial kiss on TV.
Never heard of any of these people 🤷🏻♀️
You should not portray someone who travels thru space either.
*sigh* Oh for god's sake. You got the role bcuz they thought you were the best person for it. That's how it should work. Stop whining about it.
Get Leslie Jones to play Nina..ijs
Since she's not actually blue maybe she shouldn't be on the marvel movies has gomorrah.
Omg zoesaldana no one fucking cares!!!!!! Waaaayyyy too much going on . Please check yourself 🤦♀️
John Lovitz’s voice, “It’s called ACTING!”.
Who cares? justclownsinthecircus
We 😍 and forgive you zoesaldana! Also, please bless us with the sequel to 'Colombiana'! POC need that! THXS & SmOOCHES😘
Never seen it
Give all your money back and all is forgiven
Did she return the money?
Stahp with this nonsense. It's not only super embarrassing and cringy, but NO ONE cares. It's a fringe minority of super fragile & sensitive loud snowflakes on social media, who whines about this stuff. No sane person cares about these self-flagellating apologies.
She wasn't really sorry. She went on later to augment her skin tone to green. An obvious slap in the face to naturally green people.
Whos Zoe Saldana and is she single
Stupidity
You fools!!!shut up
These celebrities have some serious issues. Nobody gives a fuck
You don't have to apologize they would have found a reason to bitch about something anyway.. Especially since your man is not black.. Just sayin' ..btw those babies y'all had are gorgeous!
oh come on, Zoe. Get over it, for gods sake. Nobody is thinking about you in 2020, hunty. We have other things to focus on.
