Steve McQueen sits down with That Grape Juice to discuss his new movie, ‘Blitz’, being in control of your own narrative and not learning from the lessons of the past.

The director has always been a groundbreaking filmmaker. Indeed, he made waves with his feature debut ‘Hunger,’ and follow-up Shame but he propelled himself into the history books with ’12 Years a Slave.’

Critically acclaimed, the 2013 drama won the Academy Award for Best Picture – making McQueen the first Black director to achieve this prestigious accolade.

Unafraid to push the envelope and ask important questions about race, identity, and history, this is evident in his next movie, ‘Blitz.’ For audiences are lassoed into the dangerous London streets during World War II.

The movie follows nine-year-old George [Elliott Heffernan], who is evacuated to the countryside by his mother, Rita [Saoirse Ronan], to escape the bombings. Defiant and determined to return to his family, George embarks on a journey back home as Rita searches for him.

Check out McQueen’s EXCLUSIVE interview with TGJ’s Adam Davidson.

Kenya Moore has had a change of heart.

The ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ favorite is “taking accountability” for her role in the season 16 scandal that saw her sensationally “suspended” from the hit show.

As reported, Moore clashed with newcomer Brittany Eady on a to-be-aired episode in an incident that saw explicit pictures allegedly shown to guests at a party.

The star’s tenure with RHOA was then paused indefinitely.

At the time, much of Moore’s verbiage centered on being “vindicated.”

However, during an appearance on the Tamron Hall Show today (November 14), her tone was more remorseful.
