In pretty much no time at all, it seems as though Zola has become a household name, thanks to her INSANE story about sex, drugs, and murder that blew up online — even though she has since deleted the whole thing!
Well, when Twitter users read the incredibly long, yet ridiculously captivating, tale of her Florida odyssey, they went bonkers!
But now, the viral sensation is receiving attention from Golden Globe-nominated director Ava Duvernay over the outrageous narrative!

The Selma filmmaker took to the status sharing site to post her thoughts on the Hooters server’s story, saying:
In India reading #Zola. Drama, humor, action, suspense, character development. She can write! There’s so much untapped talent in the hood. x

Zola saw this, and had NO chill about it, writing:
Not my bitch Ava!!! https://t.co/rAOC1GKWvZ

The 43-year-old responded by raving about her work, adding:
I see you, sis! I need the book. What’s good? Best seller in waiting. xo https://t.co/5zkfSI68EF

However, the storyteller did want to clarify one little thing to the movie maven, explaining:
I’m not from the hood tho Ava. Ima suburban bitch. Still love you tho├░┼╕╦£╦£

To which Ava replied:
That’s cool. I am though. Ain’t no shame in it at all. Quite the opposite. Pride. https://t.co/4IXBUSYrjH

But it seems as though Zola really learned a lot from this brief back-and-forth, because she’s now planning to legally lock this story down, tweeting:
got WAY more attention than I ever could’ve fathomed….literally having a meeting with my lawyer tomorrow to patent this…cus jesus christ

PLEASE let this mean Zola: The Movie will be coming to a theater near us!
