Remember Us? Stars Blackballed After Their Oscars Speak Out

Paula Jai Parker
Did Paula Jai Parker’s role in Idlewild get her blackballed?
Paula says being ousted from Hollywood roles after winding up on the wrong side of cliques on set got her pushed out of a lot of roles:
“Hollywood is very cliquish. Working is about having relationships. It’s more about who you know, who you don’t know, who you’re friends with, who you’re not friends with. Me being out of the loop kept me from being able to work.
You can ask anyone on the Idlewild set as far as the executives go there were phone calls made concerning me and that movie. After that particular movie, you didn’t see me very much.”
