Gabrielle Union has a few things she'd like to change about the way she played her character in BringItOn.
, Union opened up about the regret she feels about the way she"muzzled" her character, and the apology she wrote to her in her new book,. "I was given full range to do whatever I wanted with Isis in, and I chose respectability and to be classy and take the high road, because I felt like that would make her be appropriate — the right kind of Black girl."She continued,"Black girls aren’t allowed to be angry. Certainly not demonstratively angry, and I muzzled her.
And even though she held back, Union said she was still painted as the villain in the the now-famous cheer movie. "I had muzzled her and made her this gracious, decent leader, and I was still a villain in that movie," she added. "I did all that shape-shifting for a character, and then I realized I was doing that to myself, too. I wasn’t allowing myself the full range of my humanity."
