Missy Elliot and Timbaland Get Casted In Biopic
So the Lifetime Aaliyah biopic is facing even more backlash with castings of Missy Elliot and Timbaland. Aaliyah fans thought Zendaya looked 'too biracial' to play Aaliyah. Well it seems like Lifetime or should I say the producers ( Wendy Williams) has casted two biracial looking actors to play Missy Elliot and Timabland and fans are NOT happy about it.
Both actors are Canadian. The actress who will playing Missy Elliot is named Chattrisse Dolaille, she is newcomer and the actor who will be playing Timbaland is named Izaak Smith, who appeared on So You Think You can Dance: Canada.
But the castings continue to add fuel to the racism and colorism in Hollywood and with Wendy Williams being one the producers I'm not surprised by this.
Here are some of the tweets from Twitter
