Internet divided after Vivica A Fox denies facing Taraji P Henson work woes in 'The Color Purple'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Vivica A Fox empathized with ‘The Color Purple’ cast members after recent revelations while accepting she is “good” and it wasn’t her experience at all.
During a recent interview, TMZ asked the ‘Kill Bill’ actress for her opinion on the growing conversation about the working conditions on the sets of ‘The Color Purple’.
Recently, the Golden Globe-winning actress Taraji P Henson opened up about the ordeals she and the other cast members faced while filming ‘The Color Purple’.
TMZ recently asked Vivica - who has an envious resume after working in films including ‘Independence Day’, ‘Kill Bill’ - she said “To each his own.”
While she has empathy for the situation, Vivica says it is important for the stars to speak out their grievances.
She continued, “I am very happy, very blessed,” while adding, “I did not have that experience.”
She, nevertheless, commended the fact that the ladies stuck together and advocated for each other by saying, “I love my girls for looking out for each other.”
She, however, concluded by saying that “I’m good.”
Internet divided over Vivica A Fox's statement
Vivica A Fox's comments divided the internet as a section of fans slammed her for allegedly not supporting Taraji's statements.
However, another group of fans supported Vivica saying she might be living a "good" life.
One of the fans supported Vivica as they said on Facebook, "See this is the follow the sheep mentality that people have. Because Vivica is not saying the same thing as Taraji people automatically try to downgrade her career. Everybody's not in the same struggle. She might actually be good."
Someone else remarked, "Maybe she just appreciates what she has earned. She could truly 'be good.' Not every millionaire is obsessed with needing 'millions' more to feel validated."
"No disrespect but Taraji is on a different level. Viv was on that path at one point tho. Both deserve their flower," said another fan.
"Maybe it’s different now from when Vivica was acting in the late 90s or whenever Soul Food came out. Taraji’s been in recent movies, so things could just be different. I mean it is about a 20 year gap," reasoned another fan.
Another netizen observed, "Well the term 'I'm good' is subjective. Taraji has been in alot of A class movies, so her 'Im good' will look alot different than Vivica."
However, another social media user said condescendingly, "She hasn't been in a movie. Since Two Can Play That Game!! Car Shield commercials don't count, sis!"
Another netizen said, "Vivica bought her house when the market was lower and had paid it off. She bought her luxury goods years ago too. That 90s money hit different. Her investments have matured and she’s good maintaining that lifestyle with the work she gets."
Another netizen said, "She didn’t say anything bad in my opinion, she simply said that’s not her experience, she’s good and she’s pleased to see her fellow actress are speaking out and supporting each other."
"Viv is a hustler & creating multiple streams of income.!! No disrespect...it's just not her personal experience, that's it!!!" remarked another.
Another detractor, however, said, "She’s doing Car Shield commercials, that's why!"
"I think Tareji is working a different caliber of roles than Vivica," commented another fan.
Taraji P Henson said 'I can’t drive myself to set in Atlanta'
Recently during an interview with the New York Times, Taraji P Henson aired her grievances against the studio of 'The Color Purple'.
Recounting the treatment, she and her fellow cast members received in the set, she shared, "They gave us rental cars, and I was like, 'I can’t drive myself to set in Atlanta.'"
She explained, "This is insurance liability, it’s dangerous. Now they robbing people. What do I look like, taking myself to work by myself in a rental car?"
"So I was like, 'Can I get a driver or security to take me?' I’m not asking for the moon," continued the 'What Men Want' star, per TMZ.
She added that she had to fight for everyone else, saying, "They’re like, 'Well, if we do it for you, we got to do it for everybody.' Well, do it for everybody! It’s stuff like that, stuff I shouldn’t have to fight for."
Nevertheless, after fighting for the basic amenities, their grievances were mostly solved by Oprah Winfrey.
