The decision to cast Cynthia Erivo as Harriet Tubman in the Harriet biopic is continuing to spark controversy.
The Harriet trailer was released earlier this week and some people can’t get past the fact that Cynthia Erivo is a British Actress.
Cynthia Erivo’s past tweets mocking American culture is another reason critics want to boycott Harriet, with many quoting the aforementioned “ghetto American accent” tweet.
Cynthia Erivo has already won Emmy, Grammy, and Tony awards for her work on Broadway’s The Color Purple.
