Michelle Obama UPSET w/ Viola Davis Her Portrait in ‘First Lady’ & Black Twitter Agree!!
Viola Davis is considered by many to be one of the best actresses in the world. So when she was cast to play Michelle Obama on Showtime’s “The First Lady,” most people couldn’t wait to see the performance.
Well, according to recently released clips – Viola did a HUGE job.
And MTO News spoke to someone close to Michelle Obama, who told us the former First Lady was unhappy with the way Viola portrayed her on the cable show.
Michelle’s longtime friend told MTO News, “Viola’s depiction of Michelle is far from flattering. And Michelle knows this. “
When we asked the First Lady’s friend if Michelle enjoyed Viola’s performance, the friend adamantly said: “NO”.
What was going on in Viola’s mind? She didn’t have enough time to prepare for the role? And we can’t even blame the show’s producer, because it’s Shonda Rhimes.
Here’s a clip from Viola’s performance:
And here are some of the reactions from Black Twitter:
