The American actress Viola Davis, who played the character of Aibileen Clark in the movie “The Help” or “Cross Stories”, regretted her passage through the film with harsh words.
Davis, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her appearance in that film, was once again sorry for her role as a servant for a white family in Mississippi.

In the last edition of Vanity Fair, of which Davis is the cover, he detailed the feeling that causes him to remember his role.

“There is no one who has not enjoyed ‘Cross Stories’, but there is a part of me that feels I betrayed myself and my people,” she said.
However, he also noted that the film is made under “the filter and sewers of systematic racism.”
“There are not many narratives that are involved in our humanity,” he added, noting that in Hollywood “they are trying to delve into the idea of what it means to be black, but thinking essentially of a white audience.”.
But the woman’s words did not end there and she regretted that the topic was not given importance: “Most white viewers can sit down and receive an academic lesson on who we are. Then they leave the theater and talk about what they’ve seen, but the issue doesn’t go beyond that.”

But Davis was not the only woman to speak out against the film because the renowned Bryce Dallas had already demonstrated her refusal to the plot of the film.
“Would not appear again in the movie. I will say why: I have realized that now people have the courage to say: ‘With all due respect, I love this project, but I think it is not you who should be directing it.’ That’s a very powerful thing, being able to say it. “
