Halle Berry Withdraws From Trans Role After Backlash

  • Halle Berry was preparing for a role as a transgender person, however after a conversation and some backlash from the LGBTQ+ community she has since backed away from the role. 
  • "As a cisgender woman, I now understand that I should not have considered this role and that the transgender community should undeniably have the opportunity to tell their own stories,"Berry wrote on Twitter. 
  • Berry vowed to be an“ally”and said she would use her,"voice to promote better representation on-screen, both in front of and behind the camera."
