Letitia Wright Slams Hollywood Reporter, Says Outlet Has a 'Personal Vendetta' Against Her

Letitia Wright is calling out The Hollywood Reporter after the magazine published an article that questioned if her Oscar chances will be hurt by “personal baggage.”

The 29-year-old actress stars as Shuri in Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a film that is considered an Oscars contender after the first movie received many nominations and multiple wins.

Letitia received backlash in 2020 when she shared an anti-vax conspiracy video. She later apologized and just recently discussed the controversy in a new interview.

THR published an article on Monday (November 21) titled, “How Personal Baggage Will Impact Oscar Chances.” The article questions if Letitia, Will Smith, and Brad Pitt‘s Oscar chances will be hurt by their so-called baggage. The article also points out how Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, and Mel Gibson all received wins and nominations at the Oscars despite having previous allegations against them. Other winners with allegations against them who were brought up in the article include Casey Affleck, Gary Oldman, and the late Kobe Bryant.

“And then there’s Wright. As COVID has somewhat subsided, so too has the intensity of anger toward those who resisted or questioned safety measures, so she may face the least resistance — but she may also have the weakest case for a nomination anyway,” writer Scott Feinberg said in the article.

Letitia took to her Instagram Stories on Monday night to respond to the article.

“I had to unblock The Hollywood Reporter just to post this. Scott Feinberg and all at this publication. You’re all incredibly disrespectful. How dare you,” she began the post, which included a screencap of the article in question.

She continued, “You mentioned my name alongside men who have been accused of abuse and sexual misconduct. This is vile behavior. At this point a personal vendetta towards me. I’ve done nothing wrong but respectfully refused to do interviews with this publication. Stop your nonsense. I apologized TWO years ago. Remained silent on the topic. You lied and said I continued talking about it with my cast and crew on my set. THIS WAS NOT TRUE. ASK MY PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR. The film is successful. Your agenda towards me is now even more clear. I won’t remain silent. Stop your disgusting behavior.”

Letitia wrote another post aimed at the writer.

“Scott Feinberg. This personal agenda with your friends at The Hollywood Reporter is disgusting,” she said. “I’ve remained silent as the world told me to kill myself two years ago for a video I posted and apologized for. I kept my head down and focused on my craft. And now I’m at the other side of it. Here you are, as a so called journalist we are meant to trust, putting my name into this nasty article for what? You lack substance, you clearly have nothing to report.”

“The movie is beautiful, impactful and breaking box office. I worked my ass of with my cast and crew to dedicate it to my Brother. How dare you,” Letitia added. “Did my performance rattle you that much? It was that excellent huh? I’m still here, still making impact, still creating projects that touch peoples hearts and it’s not going to stop. Get a life, like for real.”

Letitia recently opened up about being in therapy for an injury that happened while filming Wakanda Forever.
