Winnie Mandela Isn't Happy With You, J-Hud!

Rather, Winnie Mandela isn’t happy there is a movie being made about her without her backing!

Several months ago, it was announced that Jennifer Hudson would be playing the wife of South African icon and leader, Nelson Mandela, in a flick titled Winnie. Since that news broke, the real Winnie Mandela has come forward, saying that she wants production to halt on the project as she isn’t too thrilled about how she is being “characterized.”

You would think that her opinion would matter to the director. You would be wrong.

Darrell Roodt is at the helm of the film and he admits to not shying away from “controversies” and adding that the film is “not for Winnie Mandela, it├óΓé¼Γäós about Winnie Mandela.”

Cold! True, but cold!

Maybe a stellar performance from J-Hud will change her mind! Better bring it, girl!
