  • @StoogeWatcher It's her brother's maid. And it seems like a bullshit suit to me. Even if the name and image is similar, the story takes place in the 60s the woman became an author. An author is allowed to take inspiration from her life. It would be awful if she wins this suit.

  • @StoogeWatcher It is what it is...I appreciate her honesty

  • White people.

  • Kathryn Stockett is a hypocrite. She claims to be against racism, yet she ripped off her black maid, using her image and likeness without her consent and not paying her. In fact, the maid is suing Stockett.

  • I grew up in SC and reading this was like going home. I can remember my father's funeral in 1966, seeing all the blacks standing in the church yard. I was so angry, knowing that he would not have wanted that. As a child, no one paid attention to my words but it changed me forever.

  • I think of something my Aunt told me. She lived in what would be called a northern city and worked as a maid. And she said the lady she worked for said you know Virginia we are friends, while she was down on her knees in the heat without air condition scrubbing the floor. When the lady left the room she said my friend Flicker. For those who do not know. In the 50's there was a TV show where a man had a horse name Flicker and the set com was called "My Friend Flicker".

  • I love her accent.

  • FANTASTIC INTERVIEW kATIE. i CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FILM.

  • I'm reading this now it is so great :D
