Getty Images Study Reveals Black Writers Get Little Love In Hollyweird Almost all of your favorite network TV shows and shows you like to stream regularly are most likely to never have a person of color in their writer’s room. According to Color Of Change , Black writers are STILL being shut out of Hollyweird. Even all Black casted TV shows feature someone White in their writer’s room. Here’s what they found: The study examined all 234 of the original, scripted comedy and drama series airing or streaming on eighteen networks during the 2016-2017 television season. Strikingly, 65 percent of all writers’ rooms had zero black writers, and less than 5 percent of writers were black. These hiring decisions are made by showrunners, and the report finds that 91 percent of showrunners across all 18 networks were white and 80 percent were men. The report finds that in the 17 percent of cases where there is a single Black writer in a room, they are often excluded from influencing the creative process—especially when it comes to topics of race—and passed over for advancement. Out of nine procedural crime dramas analyzed, zero had black showrunners, and only one had multiple black writers Only 13.6 percent of shows led by white showrunners had two or more black writers in the writers’ room. By contrast, every writers’ room led by a black showrunner had multiple white writers. Sheesh, Black writers, when they are lucky RARELY have an influence on the creative approach of the show. Just some research to gauge how far we’ve come in entertainment. Was this something YOU already guess?

Harvey Weinstein Says He Has A “Different Recollection” Of Run-Ins With Lupita Lupita Nyong’o came forward with a full op-ed about her own experience being propositioned and pawed at by Harvey Weinstein back in the days when she was still a studying actress at Yale School of Drama. Now, as support outpours for Lupita sharing her story , Horny Harvey is clapping back with claims that he remembers things going differently, though he won’t expand on what exactly he means by that. According to E! News , Harvey’s rep sent over a statement shading Lupita’s account of events and even tried to insinuate that she actively sought out his attention for her Broadway show last year. “Mr. Weinstein has a different recollection of the events, but believes Lupita is a brilliant actress and a major force for the industry. Last year, she sent a personal invitation to Mr. Weinstein to see her in her Broadway show Eclipsed .” SMH. Funny how Harvey wants to hop out here and make SURE he responds to Lupita…but is letting claims of harassment and assault from nearly 40 other women fly… Getty Images
