Jackée Harry recently mentioned how her treatment of Kenya Barris back in the day could cost her a gig or two, even though Twitter is firmly on her side!
Jackée Harry Let Her Ego Get Her Best: ‘I’m Not Good To Him’
The problem arose when Jackée was chatting with Sheryl Lee Ralph about a digital interview. Perfume feature. During the talk, Sheryl mentioned how important it is to be nice to people, even if they just bring you coffee, because you never know where they will be in the future.
“How many times has the young man who brought me coffee become a producer in the next 5 to 10 years? Oh, I’ve seen it.”
Sheryl added, “You have to lower that ego and really have someone good to talk to you off the cliff.”
Jackée later joined in and revealed it, returning as the lead on 227she could have burned the bridge by being unfriendly to Kenya Barris, who would hand over her script for the day.
“Well, I didn’t talk off the cliff. Do you know anyone who used to bring me the script? 227 come to my door and deliver them? Kenya Barris.”
She continued, noting that she was “not nice to him”—and Kenya didn’t let her forget that!
“I was not good to him. You see, look at me now. I’m not lying – and he reminded me of it!”
Jackée ended up ignoring her behavior by nonchalantly saying, “It was the 80s, honey!”
Twitter supports Jackée & speculates that Kenya Barris must have it coming
As Jackée’s comments began to go viral, people on Twitter began to agree and sided with the actress. They explained that “Kenya might be in a bad mood” and “need” to be bullied more.
In defense of Jackee, Kenya can have bad vibes.

Many people have cited Kenya’s work—which led to accusations that he had a “racial obsession,” such as Shade room reported earlier—as justification for the way Jackée treated him.
Jackee is amazing and Kenya’s obsession with two races in public is seething in the onslaught of the black community.
She is not wrong idc https://t.co/7MwGoNnmqT

Tbh, she made the right decision for Kenya. Take it how you want.
