‘Dear White People’ Creator on Commenting on MeToo, Tyler Perry and Spike Lee in Season 3
. “Because that’s the hardest part. [You say to yourself] ‘Well, I never knew that so and so was a sexual predator’ or ‘I can’t even imagine such and such doing such and such things.’ Well, no, of course, you can’t imagine it. That’s how it works. You have to be kind of ‘glamored’ by them in order for them to operate in that way.”
But after Muffy tells CoCo that something happened between them at Moses’ house, allegations arise, as does a clear divide arises amongst the students, some of whom believe Muffy and some of whom don’t. Specifically for Simien, these situations were not about sexual abuse or assault but rather relationships with other Black directors, with Tyler Perry being someone who Simien ended up connecting with in an unexpected way.
But when Perry wasn’t available to do it, Simien says the only person he thought he’d be comfortable with playing that role and rendering such a sensitive critique of the media mogul’s perception versus reality was himself. Thus, Simien’s elongated cameo in the third season of “Dear White People” was born.
Simien also had another Black director that influenced him who — at least in part – made it into the season: Spike Lee. Simien was a longtime fan of Lee, but Lee has not had kind words for Simien. In this third season of “Dear White People,” Sam has a similar experience with one of her filmmaking idols, Cynthia Fray . Simien says that brief interaction wasn’tabout Lee, but it certainly was on his mind while working on the character and the way she responds to Sam.
Evelyn is the polar opposite of CoCo — or Colandrea, her full name, as her mother calls her. She’s loud and gregarious, while Coco rarely raises her voice. Evelyn is less educated, doesn’t code-switch, and pronounces things differently, whereas CoCo attends school at an Ivy and has all but mastered how to speak the language of her classmates.
