1. We too love Rihanna & Beyoncé, but shoutout to Oprah for saying what needed to be said in those rooms 🫡

2. Would have loved seeing Beyoncé as Shug Avery. I was hopeful for Taraji but the fact that she didn’t get a Golden Globe nomination for the role has me skeptical; perhaps she was over the top again like her “Annie” performance.

3. Oprah said they wanted Beyoncé or Rihanna in the Color Purple to have someone “a list” with all due respect….no. I’m glad it’s Fantasia and Danielle as the anchors. Danielle is a thespian thespian and Fantasia did a remarkable job on Broadway.

4. They wouldn't have done this movie justice…they picked the right cast

5. Oprah is very nice nasty Aquarius cause what she pretty much meant was “this ain’t a role for Beyoncé or Rihanna, next topic”

6. Hmmm… Seems like a desperate way to try to draw attention to the film at this point.

7. Comes off like Oprah's saying they went with second rate, second choice singers with nothing going on so they would be available.

8. I’ve never seen rihanna act a day in her life and beyoncé could’ve done it if she gained 40 or 50 pounds and wore no make-up and no extensions !
