I think you have very valid points, completely agree with everything you’ve saidI feel critical lol
Everyone seems to have really enjoyed the doc. I dunno.
Yes! It was so strange wasnt it, she clearly checked out a long time ago!One other takeaway from Leigh’s doc was the absence of Jesy. It seems it was mostly filmed around last Summer and early Autumn, when the BLM movement was at its peak. Jesy isn’t on the phone call to do any of the song writing, she’s not mentioned anywhere really, even at shoots, she doesn’t seem to be there. Jesy really didn’t seem interested in any of it
I think this doc wasn't for those who are aware of what hes done, his colourism etcI find leighannes doc to be kinda hypocritical and lacking credibility because she partner has been viciously homophobic and very racist few years ago .
Correct me if i’m wrong but wasn’t this documentary based on Leigh’s experiences and what she went through? I’m sure she said that in an interview. I have no issue with her being at the forefront of something when she’s talking about her own individual experiences. Surely the more awareness on this topic the better? Or not.I think this doc wasn't for those who are aware of what hes done, his colourism etc
She is still figuring things out which isn't the best person to be at the forefront of such a documentary. It should have been Alexandra Burke who was told to bleach her skin
Question, what exactly did she go through? As I must of missed it? I know what Keisha and Alexandra went through as they were just awful and shocking. I couldn’t really tell you what the documentary was about it was a little all over the place and not that educating and eye opening really.Correct me if i’m wrong but wasn’t this documentary based on Leigh’s experiences and what she went through?

Well I don’t know I haven’t watched it yet, only watched the interview. I presumed it was her experiences in the band compared to the other girls, how she got treated and about her race is it not?Question, what exactly did she go through? As I must of missed it?

Your comments are really spot on for me. I would have really loved to see Keisha or Alexandra fronting this but I think Leigh-Anne was the palatable face. They're very confident in their opinions and Leigh is more gentle and doesn't get the angry black woman tag.I jotted down some point as I watched it:
- The fact she experienced racism once at 9 then only after LM fame wasn't overly shocking but I'm suprised she never questioned WHY. It did make me question if during that period she had dark skinned friends because they definitely would have experienced racism between 9 and 19 years old.
- Her parents had a weird attitude. Her Dad saying "I identify myself as John" "I didn't let my colour define me" -- it rubbed me the wrong way but again they are both light skinned and probably know have assimilated "nothing we can do about the racists, we just had to get on"
- I think I know understand why we rarely see her Dad tbh - Leigh Anne starts crying that she never felt good enough and her mum hugs her and her Dad just sits there
- I did appreciate she recognised her pain is small in comparison to other black people (I know its all relative)
- I also appreciated she understands she's in a good position to speak out. I know black people who spoke out about racism before 2020 and were reprimanded at work (yes it happens quite often)
- Andre?? Lol yeah we could of just left him out of this doc. No value added
- I appreciate the fact she is learning and yes you will get things wrong, but trust me that's better than being ignorant
- Suprised she had never heard that "you have to work harder" comment.
- I liked the round table with Keisha, Nao, Raye, Alexandra Burke.
- I understood that comment Leigh Anne made "is it racism or it is in my head" -- trust me it's constant and exhausting. At times I've had to have white friends validate it's racist for me to believe a situation because I feel a lot of people assume "ah here comes the race cards"
- Tbh I would have enjoyed Alexandra Burke heading this doc. Please watch her video here . She really suffered under the music industry.
- Keith story of being replaced whilst STILL in sugarbabes and being called "a bully" ---- BW are labelled bullies, angry, too opinionated but anyone else it's #GirlBoss
- Keisha an honest babe when Leigh Anne asked I'd she would be in LM if she was dark skinned.....
Keisha: "You were palatable. You were chosen for your blackness" -- because the mixed token black girl was enough. I'm not saying Leigh Anne isn't talented, but it's true
- Colourism discussed at last!
- Andre offensive tweets. Boy. He was a colourist through and through.
- And these views of dark skinned BW continues especially with misogynoir
- I was FLABBERGASTED she has just started noting the lack of diversity in her work eg shoots.--- she's just seen this??? Wow.
- I understand her getting angry at racist commenting on the doc when it was coming out but I think black people had valid points even if she "wanted to do something good". Her good intentions can still be scrutinise especially as dark skinned women are continuously removed from the narrative
- Dawn Butler part made me so sad and angry.
- The segment with the 3 dark skinned girls in a podcast that had Leigh Anne as a guest seemed like an interesting conversation.
- They called Jade "a darkie" --- Jesus. And yes she's very white passing (WP so I'm happy she addressed that and the privilege WP gives you.

- Tbh I'm still feeling a kind way about Leigh Anne after liking Tulisa video last year which slammed Misha B (a dark skinned woman) as a liar about racism experienced on X Factor and she's just a bully. You can view Misha video here
- She has a lovely lovely lovely lovely house
Not really, it was briefly mentioned about a radio tour and how Brazil loved her... but I don’t really know what the angle of the documentary was to be honest and I’ve watched it hahahahaha! It was like her story but she is still so new to the subject, it’s only something she started looking at around BLM marches last year, she didn’t notice issues before then or something.Well I don’t know I haven’t watched it yet, only watched the interview. I presumed it was her experiences in the band compared to the other girls, how she got treated and about her race is it not?
Only sorry he got caught . Some really shocking tweets.Andre in this documentary, he’s the biggest red flag going , no remorse just looked sorry he got caught . A tit personality too. God she’s made one big mistake , good luck to you girl !

Oh no hun ...this isn’t itNot at all, they are going to split up once they have seen the contact out and the tour is out the way. I don’t see why you would want to work when your baby is so young? Why bother having them if you want to leave them? Don’t have kids then.
No she was jumping around on issues she didn't even understand as I said you can tell she very new to this journey of race. The fact she's ONLY just noticing being the only black person in a room is shocking.Well I don’t know I haven’t watched it yet, only watched the interview.
