Issa Rae Says Hollywood Is ‘Scared, Clueless and at the Mercy of Wall Street’ and Black Stories Are ‘Less of a Priority’: ‘There Aren’t a Lot of Smart Execs Anymore’
“I’m sorry, but there aren’t a lot of smart executives anymore,” says Issa Rae.
Issa Rae has “never seen Hollywood this scared and clueless and at the mercy of Wall Street,” she recently told Time magazine during a cover interview. The “Insecure” Emmy nominee has been making the press rounds and speaking out against Hollywood for pulling back on investing in inclusive stories. Rae was an executive producer on the series and brought the show to Max under her ongoing deal with WarnerMedia, which she signed in 2021 after the success of her HBO comedy series “Insecure.” Rae told Time magazine that she’s still developing two new shows for HBO, including a project set in an “alternate present” that she plans to create, write and star in.
