  • Summary

  • In this episode, I take you through the development deal I had for my bestselling novel, The Dirty Girls Social Club, with NBC. Though the network itself did nothing wrong, the production company I aligned myself with, Encanto, made some questionable choices (to say it politely). Among their choices? To remove all Afro-Latino and Black British characters because, according to the producer Ann Lopez (George's then-wife), "No one wants to see black people on TV." I objected, loudly, and got punished by the Hollywood establishment for daring to take on one of the most powerful Latino power couples in the industry.
