Hate U Give Star Opens Up About Tense Racial Situation Surrounding The Film

“The Hate U Give” star Amandla Stenberg has spoken out about the real-life racial drama that rocked the production of a film inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement.
“I was salty in the reshoots, I couldn’t help it,” Stenberg said of the need to return to the already-in-the-can film after co-star Kian Lawley, a YouTube star who played a love interest, was abruptly fired by 20th Century Fox Film in February after web clips surfaced of Lawley using the N-word.
