'Flashback to 2017. My 4th job as an actor, my first recurring guest star, and my first time having a stunt double — and they painted her black.'
The actor, who also starred in Netflix’s, remembered feeling “very uncomfortable so I spoke up for myself, I pulled one of our producers aside and asked, ‘Why isn’t my stunt double Black like me? Isn’t that the point of a ‘double?’ She responded ‘Sure. But we couldn’t find a Black stunt double in LA. Los Angeles doesn’t have many Black stunt performers. But aren’t you happy to be working? You should be thankful to be here.
While the actor also explained that she did so well in her action scene that the producers didn’t even use the double, her performance was driven by a need to obscure what production had tried to subject her to. “The whole time I kept telling myself, ‘I have to be great. No, I have to be better than great. I have to be so amazing that they don’t need her. No one can know that I have a stunt double in Blackface,’” she remembered.
Anjelika also reflected on the treatment as part of a greater trend of erasure and mistreatment in Hollywood, one she hopes to eradicate. “See, there’s this oppressive thing that often happens when everyone and everything are ran by white people on sets where they try to manipulate POC into just being GRATEFUL to be there,” she explained. “They do this to us because they know that they *literally* run the show.
