User blog:HazelAugustusIsaac/Alexandra Shipp's Movie Review

hello wikians

So, as many of you already know, Alexandra Shipp (who played KT) played Aaliyah, in the new Tv movie 'Aaliyah: Princess of R and B', which premiered yesterday, November 15th.

There was already a bunch of drama revolving around the project, because Aaliyah's family didn't feel like Lifetime was the right venue for the project, and declined to hand over the music rights. Zendaya was actually supposed to portray the role of Aaliyah, but then dropped out since she didn't feel as if the project was being handled the right way. Also, the actress who played Missy Elliot, skin was lighter and was skinnier then how MIssy Elliot actually looked in the 90's.





So there was already a bunch of controversy. That certainly did not help.

One of the things many people are angry about is that in the film, it shows Aaliyah illegal marriage to R. Kelly more like puppy love, instead of him being a predator.



Also, since they weren't allowed access to any of Aaliyah's music, they used covers, and extra songs, which didn't help.



And now, let's just say, Lifetime and Alexandra are receiving some serious backlash.

Prior to the movie, on instagram Alexandra wrote a message saying that she's still human, and respect her.

Which basically means she knew that she was going to get hate.

Honestly, I feel so bad for her, all the hate she's getting sucks.

Musician Timbaland has expressed his hatred of the film throughout SEVERAL instagram videos and pictures.



Literally. If you have instagram, go check it out.

I feel so bad for her.
