Michelle Williams Reminds the World That She Is Black

Former Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams is TIRED of y’all mixing her up with Fosse/Verdon star of the same name.

What We Know:

  • The FX miniseries star recently won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie on Sunday and also gave a passionate speech about the wage disparity in Hollywood and devaluing women (especially women of color) in the industry.
  • Williams posted on Monday about the recent mixups stating, “Let’s get one thing clear. How come when y’all are tagging and congratulating a person … do y’all see that I’m black when you go to my profile or tag, like when you search for the Michelle Williams?… I am black! OK? I ain’t mixed with nothing. I ain’t mixed with Persian, Russian. I am black!”
  • She continued with, “Reading is fundamental. So is observation…Reading is fundamental. Observation is so important. Observe that profile pic before you get to tagging me and cussing me out for something I didn’t say.”
  • Despite having to drag the public for filth, she congratulated the other Michelle Williams on her recent win, saying that the star “…was beautiful. She was brilliant. Honey, she played Gwen Verdon to a T. She was awesome!…Get it right and stop cussing me out. All right? Now I’mma slap you back into having a good day ‘cause you almost tried to take me out of my peace.”

Shout out to both women for being boss ladies.
