LA La Anthony responded to social media followers who insist she can't act . The 40-year-old's character, Lakeisha Grant, was killed off in the recent episode of the Starz TV series Power. Lala Anthony stopped by “The Breakfast Club” on Tuesday to talk about her exit from “Power” and other projects she has in the works. During her interview, Charlamagne asked Lala if she gets upset when people say she can’t act. She responded:
Not really. You know…you gotta be worried when people aren’t not talking.
I’m doing it. So, if I couldn’t do it, then why am I doing it?
If you can do it better, then why you not getting the jobs I’m getting?
That’s how I look at it. And my thing is…I do it. I put my all into it. I didn’t start that way, so it’s been a different journey for me and that doesn’t mean I can’t do it.
I think people naturally wanna hate because you started differently.
‘You’re not a real actor. You started on radio. You’re this…you’re that.’
Alright, maybe I didn’t come into it like you, but I put the work in and I continue to put the work in.
So, that doesn’t bother me.
