Months after getting flack for her highly publicized sit down with accusers who (via the controversial ‘Leaving Neverland’ TV special) resurfaced allegations King of Pop Michael Jackson sexually assaulted them as children, Oprah Winfrey is on the receiving end of staunch criticism again for her recently announced, yet-titled documentary about sexual misconduct in the music industry.

Set to debut in 2020, the Apple exclusive is produced and directed by Oscar-nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering.  Reportedly featuring a damning interview from an alleged victim of entertainment mogul Russell Simmons, news of the film’s delivery reached the desk of fellow mogul 50 Cent who, in a fiery Instagram post, slammed Winfrey for what he argues is a regime to ‘target Black men.’

Despite garnering a whopping 16 nominations at the 71st annual Primetime Emmy Awards earlier this year, Ava DuVernay‘s Netflix miniseries – ‘When They See Us’ – received no recognition from The Hollywood Foreign Press Association when the organization announced the nominees for the 2020 Golden Globes on Monday (December 9).

The film, which tells the true story of five African American teens wrongfully convicted of the rape and assault of a jogger in New York’s Central Park in the late 80’s, was lauded by viewers and critics alike for its gripping content and outstanding acting. Now, thanks to the apparently none-too-impressed Golden Globes committee’s omission of the title from their list of nods, many are taking to social media to express their disappointment for its absence and the overall lack of racial diversity among this year’s class of nominees.
