New Name - Taking Back What's Hers (ha-ha-ha-ha!)

Merely trying to grab a headline (and likely citing 'Racism') as apparently a casting agent misspelt her name years ago
and despite having 3 decades to change it, she instead suffered the 'institutional racism' of having her name spelt (slightly) wrong. According to Vogue Magazine she is (quote) "Taking back what's hers" (*TRANSLATION* Someone give her a superhero franchise or some of those George Floyd Millions....Coz she been robbed)

Consider this her 'Rosa Parks' moment.

BTW, her real first name is Melanie (but I guess it doesn't tick as many boxes, nor bag her any exotic roles?)

Either way, I took a knee (just to be safe)

White men FORCED her to use that slave-name for THIRTY DAMN YEARS while they sexualized her in their evil films, and you JOKE about it!?! SERIOUSLY, DUDE?????

(Just in case someone's monitoring this)

It's actually Melanin, but the racist Whites misspelled it.

I never knew that.

Who cares? I'm ok with her new name Thandivers Newton.

[–] DarTobor (4886) 3 years ago

So her name really used to be Thandie?

Good. I thought I was having a Mandela Effect moment.

She has a history of mental illness.
