I hated her character but I love her and her acting is great. She is also gorgeous.

She was so mean to stepson. She did a great job. Got her husband scared of her!

@Larry Allen duh. I think everyone knows that here. We were mainly expressing feelings about her character. No one is taking it that deep. Lol smh

[@mariahbuenrostro7411]

you know the actor is good when they make you want to jump out your window cause you’re so mad

[@dynastyct]

She did an amazing job portraying her character. Her character's attitude, the neighborhoods, Kennedys Chicken, the park itself brought me home. I cried.

[@alexaedwards9876]

You know you played your role good when people hate you outside the movie 😂

[@larisssacantu7052]

She did such a great job in When They See Us that I almost hate her in real life 😂

[@roeg48]

I love how actors and actresses of color are being very mindful of the charactors they play. Let Hollywood whitewash the thugs, druggies and drug dealers

[@latoyawilliams3056]

It's crazy their are so many stories that we don't know about. I didn't know that the drink Jack Daniel's was actually created by one of his black workers. And Jack Daniel's took the credit. There is a lot in our history we know nothing about. Because they don't want us to know. Someone actually had to do research to find that information.

@@jllshov there's almost no jobs in the DR fir Dominicans because of Haitians.

[@jllshov]

The truth hurts doesn't it? Have you look at this thread? For one by her own admission she was born there and most Dominicans carry that hatred with them...so when you understand the history it’s only fitting to ask that question especially in light of the documentary being discussed with a focal point on systemic racism. Which is present in the Dominican Republic.
