Just FYI, this kind of behaviour won’t be tolerated on my account. You will be blocked without hesitation!!!
If you don’t like the casting don’t watch the show. Or do & engage in (expert) opinion different to yours. Either way, I’M GASSED and will continue to be! 🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽 pic.twitter.com/zhJjaUkxyc

The actress’s comment was in response to two followers, one of which said, “You believe your lies and try to steal our history, and this is pathetic,” and the other tweeted, “Why is the actress black while Cleopatra is white and Greek?”
Adele, you should apologize to the Egyptians for faking their history. You’re beautiful, but how would you feel if Tom Cruise played a documentary as Malcolm X and said Malcolm was white???!!!
