All these cacs trying to blame Tootie.
Those bitches haven't been heard from since the '80s. Kim feels out here still doing shit. I'm not changing that talk to text error because I still want to feel on Kim
I don't see how, all you have to do is look at the photo on her Instagram page, its clearly, Lisa Whelchel.
^^^^
These cacs are rotten to the core. The comments show they not only racist but dumb as a pile of bricks.
Post of the day
Tootie still innocent though
That might be an insult against bricks.
I was JUST GONNA TYPE THAT!!!!

Yup - she was ALWAYS in the tootsie business rightfully so.
Word to her Mama (go look it up)
She has ALWAYS been steady working.
She didn't NEED this revival and wouldn't take a low ball offer.
But unlike her OTHER two co stars we ain't NEVER EVER IN HER WHOLE CAREER hear she was foul.
So after CLASSIC HIT SERIES IN A ROW UNLIKE HER CO STARS with a flawless record...
ALSO DIRECTING a classic series
Currently on a hit series...
Just cause stay puft marshmallow chick sideway cowardly implies someone is guilty - it's the black girl?
So black excellence automatically means she had to stab others in the back?
Ms. Fields signed with a prominent talent agency because she is a prominent talent.
Bro don't make me put you back on ignore.
If Mrs. Garrett was still alive?
she would have shoved a scooter pie in her mouth and said stfu Nat.

And look how these bitter salty stale cacs went IMMEDIATELY after the black girl...
No matter WHAT proof the white women herself gave...
Hate on Tootie.
So their favorite show of all time might be the first young black girl they ever saw in a positive light on tv...
But their inferior DNA just couldn't fight it.
Devil sh*t
ICYMI - Kim's moms had been in the business for decades. Best believe Kim knows there are layers to this shit. Especially if you're a Black actress. She knows how to move.
I agree with those who have been appalled that the first one everybody thought of was the black girl.

When I first heard the story, I thought it was Nancy McKeon, even though I had no real reason for believing it, I never even thought about Fields, even though, thinking it was her actually makes the most sense. I think the people that thought it might be Fields, probably thought so because she's had the most success in the business since the show ended, and was in a better position to hold out, if she wanted to. For example, if years ago there was an idea to revive Welcome Back Kotter, and word got out that one cast member was holding out for more money and making demands, no one would think it was Lawerance Hilton Jacobs. Since the show ended, Travolta has earned probably five times as much as the other cast members combined, so just like Fields, he would have been in better position to just walk away if he didn't get what he wanted.
She had her chance to get a spin-off after the finale when Blair was made the new headmaster of Eastlake Academy...
I don't remember that. But ok. Show is mad old. No one was interested in a continuation of the Facts of Life.
Real talk I thought it was Joe too and she was my low key favorite
This episode gave me the chills..
it makes sense becuz after they did the live FOL show and she showed up looking not that much different from the original show... everyone made a big deal about it...so it would make sense she would try to leverage it.
But the only way I could figure the rest of them being pissed off that she was trying to broker a spinoff deal would be that it would fuck up the collective bargaining the 4 of them could do with whatever network wanted to work with them. Her spinoff deal could be leveraged against the rest of them.
I mean there IS levels to their popularity...the two most popular and favorite would be tootie and blair..the less popular would be jo and natalie. Them standing together gets gives them all coverage...but once its understood one could break away then the other 3 are that much weaker especially the least popular in the group.
Lets be honest...of the four..Blair is John Lennon, Tootie is Paul McCartney, Jo is George Harrison and Natalie is Ringo
sure Ringo has his fans but...you know

Fred Berry thought What's Happening Now couldn't work without Rerun. He was shown the door. Berry wanted more money and a production deal.
