I can't find it either and it is not formatted as a quote in the story. I very much dislike JPS, but did she even say this or did the writer just make it up?
At this point Pinkett Smith and the click-bait sites are feeding off of each other.

Dig deeper.
Director Tina Gharavi
“Why shouldn’t Cleopatra be a melanated sister? And why do some people need Cleopatra to be white? Her proximity to whiteness seems to give her value, and for some Egyptians it seems to really matter.”
Also…
“Doing the research, I realized what a political act it would be to see Cleopatra portrayed by a Black actress. For me, the idea that people had gotten it so incredibly wrong before — historically, from Theda Bara to Monica Bellucci, and recently, with Angelina Jolie and Gal Gadot in the running to play her — meant we had to get it even more right. The hunt was on to find the right performer to bring Cleopatra into the 21st century.”

Straight up Hitlarian level fever dream stuff going on. Inventing a fake history for a preferred race of people.

Jada Pinkett Smith says she blames ‘white supremacists’ for the flop of her new Netflix docudrama series
well did she ask them to buy tickets?
i think she clearly asked them not to, so how was it their fault again?

I wonder if it ever gets exhausting for them always being a "victim"?

You want to believe her & the director aren’t of like mind?

I will wait for Jay Aye to enter thread, agree with Jada, then admit he has not watched the show nor will he, collect his downvotes that apparently sustain his life force, then bow out of thread.
Nah, he’ll just tell us we shouldn’t care, that race swaps never matter, say something about Elizabeth Taylor, and then berate us for even discussing the show.

Slaynews.com reports: According to The LA Times: “Cleopatra was born in the Egyptian port city of Alexandria in 69 BC and succeeded her father in 51 BC to rule until her death in 30 BC amid the expansion of the Roman Empire.
Let me get this right.
The LA Times researched some basic fact that you could find on wikipedia or a dictionary
Their simple googling was then "reported" by slaynews.com
Which was then included in an article on thepeoplesvoice.tv
This is hard hitting stuff folks

They’re so stupid that their main argument for race swapping Cleopatra was “wELL eLiZaBeTh TaYLoR DiD iT!”
Elizabeth Taylor started in a fictional movie 70 years ago as Cleopatra. You made a DOCUMENTARY about her and falsified her race, which is easily proven, considering there’s numerous sculptures and paintings of her to prove she was in no way shape or form black.
And of course, it’s all the evil white people’s fault that everyone on Earth thinks this is a piece of shite.

Didn’t you cry while watching this?

Jada told the critics to get the name Cleopatra out their mouths!

The audience score is 100% fabricated because snowflakes will get butthurt over anything, but the movie apparently also just sucks. Everyone needs to just move on.
