A Film Critic Commented On Whoopi Goldberg’s Fat Suit in ‘Till,’ Except She Wasn’t Wearing a Fat Suit - Deadline

Whoopi Goldberg had a few choice words on The View this morning for a critic who commented about her appearance in Till, the true-story film from Chinonye Chukwu about the 1955 lynching of 14-year-old Emmitt Till in Mississippi for whistling at a white woman.

The movie, which just premiered at the New York Film Festival, chronicles the extraordinary efforts of Mamie Till Mobley to find justice after her son’s death.

A review of the film made reference to her “distracting” fat suit — except that Goldberg, who also produced the film, wasn’t wearing one.

Barbara Broccoli, who produced the movie with Goldberg, Keith Beauchamp, Thomas Levine, Michael Reilly and Fred Zollo, told Deadline ”This is an important film to me, to all of us.” Emmett, who was visiting his cousins, was lynched and murdered for whistling at a young woman at Bryant’s Grocery & Meat Market in Money, Mississippi
