Every episode of White Famous that I’ve seen so far has been loaded with moments like these. They are meant to be cheeky takes on the hedonistic desires of powerful people who are used to getting what they want on demand. Even Floyd’s apprehension to speak on some of these observations as an up-and-coming Black actor is a reminder of howwithin the industry. This is the Hollywood that created a way for Weinstein to prey on young women trying to get their start in the industry for decades. This environment, where those who call the shots get a pass on how they treat those around them, helped protect and elevate a predator. Sure, the absurdity all makes for good television and an array of interesting characters — this is why White Famous’ predecessor Californication — was such a success. But when we know that the experiences of the women who have to deal with these people are less than funny, it changes the tone and context.
