The Color Purple Saga: here’s the full details of Drama, Allegations, and Hollywood Fallout.
Just when the dust looked like to settle on the saga between Saraji and Oprah, fresh reports have emerged, stirring the pot once more. Accusations of mismanagement, underpayment, and strained relationships have dominated headlines, overshadowing what was supposed to be a triumphant return for Oprah’s production company, Harpo Film.
The drama began when Saraji publicly accused Oprah of underpaying her for her role in the movie. She lamented the lack of salary increase since her last project, Proud Mary, and opened that she initially rejected the offer due to its disrespectfully low compensation.
Saraji’s outspokenness didn’t stop there; she shed light on other issues plaguing the production, additionally subpar working conditions and shared trailers for the cast.
Oprah, once revered as a beacon of empowerment, discover herself on the defensive as allegations mounted against her. Tried at damage control, including a staged reconciliation with Saraji, failed to salvage the film’s reputation.
Instead, they added fuel to the fire, with critics accusing Oprah of prioritizing personal agendas over the movie’s success.
