Zoe Saldana Says She 'Should Have Never Played' Nina Simone in Tearful Apology
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry because I love her music," thestar expressed. "It wasn't enough. With that said, she's one of our giants and someone else should step up. Somebody else should tell her story."
Not only does Saldana believe that Simone deserves for her story to be told, but she thinks it's one American audiences should hear. "We've been appropriating ourselves with someone like Nina Simone for a very long time," she added. "And I just want her story to be told, and I want it to be right, because she deserves it. And America deserves it. Because the Americans that inhabit today's America deserve her story to be told."Before concluding this particular topic, Saldana promised that she knows better and will not make this kind of mistake again.
She shared, "I know better today, and I'm never going to do that again. Never. I'm learning. I'm still processing it. I've been processing it for ten years, and I think it's a conversation that I wanna have."
