We are suppose to celebrating the man but several reports claim Dr. King seduced lots of women…don’t shoot the messenger!
PRECIOUS director LEE DANIELS is urging civil rights icon MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.’s family to trust him with a planned biopic – because he’s not working with a script that portrays the politician and humanitarian as a womanizer.
Reports suggest King’s family have passed Paul Webb’s screenplay to lawyers in a bid to halt any film from portraying the people’s hero as a cheater, who enjoyed the company of prostitutes and mistresses.
He explains, "The script they have is not my script. This project is still in an embryonic stage, but I can tell you my story focuses on the civil rights marches. It’s not about tapes and prostitutes. It’s about the African-American man who changed history."
