Does Lupita Nyong’o Have A Negative Reputation in Sow Biz?

Maybe Lupita dropped out because she has long Covid/is trying to get pregnant/has a bum ankle or any other number of generic reasons. Or maybe it’s something juicer. We don’t know.

Oink!

There’s no business like sow business like no business I know. . . 🎶

It’s a racist business. That’s why she’s having problems.

The profession is overcrowded; And the struggle's pretty tough; And admitting the fact that she's burning to act... well that isn't quite enough

She turned me off when her brother got in the Oscar picture

Yes, she does, OP.

A bit rude to post that other actress’ picture, OP.

But dat's Moses!

Our Moses!

It's that lesbian stench that eminated from The 355

She's looking gorgeous in the Wakanda Forever trailer. Who's she dating?

She looked better with short hair.

But that forehead needs some grooming.

omg that there hair....

She sat at Will and Jada's Oscar table and partied with them after the slap.

She’s pretending to be a part of America’s recent “black oppression” obsession even though she’s not American. She seems a bit obnoxious and opportunistic. And I hear she’s a lezzzz

Well she was good in 'Us' and if like to see her in more juicy things like that.

She dropped out of Americanah as well. She’s struggled with projects lately.

R6, isn’t that crazy? That’s the first thing I thought when I saw this thread title. I wonder if that’s had an effect on her career in some way, like Felicity’s haircut. It certainly made it worse that he was so ugly.

I found her very charming in Little Monsters but embarrassing and overrated in Us.

She became too picky with her projects and fell off the wave she was riding. Now other young ingenues are slowly taking her place.

R20 slowly? They have taken her place.

She didn’t play her career the right way.

She has creepy dead eyes.

LOL She will be in what is expected to be the year's biggest release. She has an Oscar and with 'Us', she proved she could carry a box office hit herself. I think she's earned the right to pull out of projects she feels are not up to her standards.

She’ll also be 40 in March which doesn’t help. Nearly a decade since her Oscar win and she only has a couple of significant lead roles under her belt. It’s a shame because she’s definitely talented

^ Which black movie actress has had a better career? I remember after she started turning down projects posters on here started saying Gugu Mbatha-Raw was taking her spot. But Raw hasn't been able to move up from the C-list.

She has tree trunks for legs..

Her teeth were too white to play a slave.

R26 Keke palmer might have taken her place since she is the black it girl right now. Zendaya is on a different level since she is biracial.

She always looks gorgeous R11. Stunning woman especially with the very short hair.

Her "English" accent in 355 was just awful

She's an unknown to most people cause they can't pronounce her name. Just like David - what the fuck is his name - oh yellow?

It's just as bad as Ruth Negga. Why would any agent or manager let her keep that name which is only mispronounced, no matter how well known she's getting, and if she shoots to super stardom, you know what everyone including those in biz will call her. Ruth N word.

is it Lupita Ny Go-Go, Yon-go, Nah-Pong Go, Yo-Go, Lupita Yon-Is- The-Castle -Of-My-Fod-ur????

[quote]. Stunning xx man especially with the very short hair.

She’s a Will Smith apologist.

Do the Brits call her Lupitarr?

Depends on who you ask.

R32 Most reasonably intelligent people would have no problem pronouncing her name. Then there are people such as yourself who use “cause” rather than “because”.

I thought that Lupita Nyong’o was one of the exec producers of that "Lady in the Lake" project? It is no small thing that after months of pre-production and shooting she was replaced, it must have cost a fortune.

Did she quit, or was she forced out?

It's Nyong'o like gnocchi!

It's Nyong'o like gnocchi!

It's Nyong'o like gnocchi!

It's Nyong'o like gnocchi!

Oh shit WTF?

Knee-Yon-Gee? Knee-Yon-Go? Cafe Au Go-Go?
