Evelyn Lozada‘s public relations crisis gained a fresh pair of horrid legs this week when YouTubers joined efforts to hold her accountable for what many deem to be anti-black behaviour.

The Reality TV star, who now identifies as Afro-Latina, has seen her brand take a hit following her feud with her ‘Basketball Wives’ costar OG Chijindu. A feud, which has seen Evelyn call the African athlete a monkey and use several racist tropes to mock, degrade and humiliate her.

Unfortunately for her, it has backfired….and an effort to slam claims that she is racist by pointing to her own African heritage was stifled by the resurfacing of the tweet below.

How YouTube’s stars are responding to the drama….and claims that OG has been fired from the series?

That Grape Juice was on-hand at the inaugural ABFF Global Film Series event in London and caught up with the actress, who unveiled her directorial debut ‘If Not Now, When?’

In our exclusive sit-down, she explained the rationale for veering behind the camera. A rationale rooted in Hollywood’s disproportionate representation of Black stars and stories.

Speaking with Jacqueline Shepherd, the 38-year-old delved into the peaks and troughs of her 25 year career, including the worrying words some casting directors levelled her way. She also expanded on how Black talent are excelling by taking the helm and championing their own narratives.

Today, we take a spooky trip to the past to revisit ‘Dr Black Mr Hyde‘, an African-American led retelling of the Jekyll and Hyde story powered Dimension Pictures and its star Bernie Casey.

In it, the former football player (who stood tall at 6 feet 4) portrays a wealthy doctor who is working on an experiment which turns him into a Frankenstein-like monster who begins a reign of terror by murdering prostitutes and pimps.
