The controversial media personality agrees with the general opinion that Saldana had to be black- faced in order to play the character of one of the most influential women in black history… which she can’t understand why.
In an all new episode on her talk show, Williams claims as much as she blames the casting for the error, she also thinks Saldana could have turned down the role when offered to her.
