TAYE DIGGS: “YOU CAN’T MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY..”

Monday, December 18, 2006

tayed.jpg
Taye Diggs and wife Idina Menzel back in April

Last week, Taye Diggs’ TV series “Daybreak,” was cancelled due to low ratings. Rumor has it that African-American women refused to support the series because Diggs’ love interest wasn’t black. Their lack of support was instrumental in the numbers being down and the show getting the boot.

Well I actually watched “Day Break” and it wasn’t all that to tell you the truth. Just like one of the people said in the interview, Taye Diggs is corny as hell and I could care less who he is married to. Maybe the show sucked, and deserved to be cancelled. I’ve seen better shows get the boot.

Anyway….

Last month he sat down with Rolling Out magazine to talk about why black woman are more accepting of the “Will Smith” & “Denzel” types:

“What [black women] were happy about was that [Mendes’ character in Hitch] wasn’t white; she was Latina,” Diggs explains when asked why Will Smith’s role in the film didn’t draw as much cultural ire as some of the choices he’s made on- and off-screen. “That’s what they were happy about, if we’re gonna be real. That’s how the scale goes. First off, if it’s a dark brother and the dark brother isn’t with a dark sister that causes issues. … After that, if you’re going to date outside the race, then they go down the list of how poorly other minorities have been treated after blacks. [So] after that, you have Latino. … Like, I’ve had people say that about my wife: ‘At least she looks Spanish.’ Like that makes it a little bit better. So that’s why people accepted it. If Will Smith had been with a lily-white woman, it would’ve been a completely different situation in the black community as far as females are concerned. I guarantee you that.” [SOURCE]

Here is when he got a little attitude when the interviewer asked him about his white wife:

“I’m too far along in my life and in my career to really give a question like that any type of dignified answer,” says Diggs, who was raised in black, middle-class Rochester, N.Y., intones. “When I was in high school, maybe. College, maybe. But I’m a grown-ass man and if people have a difficult time dealing with that, then I welcome them to see a movie with Omar Epps or Denzel Washington or some of those other brothers that have chosen to spend the rest of their lives with sisters, as you say. I just don’t have time for it. You can’t make everybody happy. And for the fans that are out there that are into me; they don’t really give a f— what’s going on with my personal life.” [SOURCE]

I’m sure this will spark debate, but yall better settle down with this one.

Taye Diggs, Just stop!! Taye is using this as an excuse, thisis cansellation number two, You are not an goo actor as opposed to the Denzel’s and the Will’s, not matter what your personal life is, people still support Tiger Woods, Cuba Gooding Jr. An some of our African American Athletes, so it is your talent that sucks, please do not try to use this as an exscape….. No one cares about these things as far as color /race anymore, hey you are not in our lives, we don’t receive money from whatever you do as far as your movies etc. so therefore we could care less, if you don’t have you just don’t have it anymore…

I was never a big fan of Taye Diggs. Since his fake Jamacian me sick accent in “How Stella Got Her Groove Back”, he sucked! I have nothing against actors who chose to marry white women, my problem with Taye is his image and persona was totally built around being a Black “Brad Pitt” hunk of Black film (although he is a midget). He was marketed and typed cast as an actor in several movies involving Black women and romancing. I think his that he is not real with it, like Sydney Pointer, to whom he is most compared to. Sydney always kept his acting roles verstile in main stream white films and also Black films. He did not allow himself to be typed casted and that his why he is still revered by Black and White audiences today, to wear he did not only do Black films and use Black romance movies to begile Black audiences and yes he loved/married white women too, but he also kept it real! Taye does not keep it real! Sorry…but it is the truth!!

I agree with 152. Taye just sucks. I mean, I never watched golf until Tiger came out and he’s married to a white woman. Who really cares?

Taye, please let it go and stop using your hatred for African-American sisters as a scapegoat to your poor skills. It’s beginning to grow old.

Taye Diggs need to quit. Is this what black movie stars have come to when they flop? They blame black women. Pitiful!!!! I didn’t see the show but I wasn’t thrilled with the previews of the movie. And for the record, I didn’t know that he was married to a white woman. So I will admit, it does put him in a whole ‘nother night with me. I just don’t have much respect for black men who wants to PLAY the tough black man who is all about being black, getting our support and dollars, just to go home and make a white woman’s life better. Nawww, I don’t feel sorry for him. In fact, it’s kind of funny.

Taye Diggs is being a blatant hyprocite and seems 2 have some deep problem wiv black women the way he is chattin if u look at most of Taye Diggs films he has been in streotypical black films with black love interest which r watched by predominatly black people, he has perceived himself that way so even though i dont have a problem wiv him havin a white wife (as i do belive his wife is beautiful) he got 2 understand that as he has put himself in that type cast role he needs 2 understand y a few people r raising their eyebrows at his change, its kinda of jus a little too late

@109 STFU Ain’t nobody studying Taye Diggs and his white wife. Whoever he fu@#$ing don’t bother me. The problem is when he makes stupid comments about us not supporting him. I supported his other tv show but I didn’t personally care for this one. And what? And not all black men shit on us. It’s only the weak, punk asses that we shouldn’t be bothered with anyway. Damn sistahs get’s no love.

#155 said: I was never a big fan of Taye Diggs. Since his fake Jamacian me sick accent in “How Stella Got Her Groove Back”, he sucked!

———————————————–
I couldn’t agree with you more on that statement. That sh!t eats me up!! All the fake Jamaicans accents try me. And I hate when an actor can’t pull it off. Not to mention: all these dam Jamaicans runnin’ round here and you can’t cast not one of them for a movie set in their own country? Dam Shame. lol

This is not a good look for Taye because he’s BLAMING the wrong people for his show not succeeding. And considering that he should think of himself as an ACTOR as opposed to a BLACK ACTOR, what difference should it make if Black women support him? That’s the dumbest sh!t I’ve heard today. Anyone with sense knows that in his biz you never bank on one type of audience to fuel your career or support you. “Crossover” music anyone? lol. This boy needs to go back to the drawing board on that one.

Taye, please get with the program. You should be madder at White Americans than Black Americans. They’re the ones that Nielsen cares about and caters to. Hasn’t he heard? Nielsen was just trying reignite a campaign to get their rating box in more BLACK homes because of the lack of participation from us! DUH!! Who’s this guys agent? My gosh! Someone needs to fire their arse! lol

As for his private life, it’s his. But why is a reporter not allowed to bring up race in an interview? Of course they did it because it’s controversial. But he also had the option to decline answering it so I have no sympathy for him as far as being “unjustly questioned about his wife’s race.”

Furthermore, if Black people have an issue with seeing him with White women only I can understand why. There needs to be a fair and balanced representation of healthy and happy Black couples on TV and in the movies. Once Cosby went off the air it took many years for us to see that again. Most of the time we only saw Black on Black relationships where the husband was a bufoon (Family Matters) or the leading Black man was a comedian (Martin) or something other than a professional and/or serious (non-comedic) representation of a brother like Cos. That may be why we’re so reluctant to love these images of Black men with Women women.

As for the opposite situation (White men, Black women), most sisters believe they’re running out of options. We hear all this talk about the lack of good brothers to choose from in the dating pool; especially professional Black women. So when they see other women like themselves with White men, it’s an easier pill to swallow. Just my opinion.

Anyway, I could care less about Taye Diggs’ love life. I’m too busy focusing on the fact that I’m not ANTI-Interracial love; I’m just PRO-Black Love!

But anyway, i think he should date whomever the hell he wants regardless of race without being critized. It’s damn near 2007 people.

@PhillyDon - I see black men doing lots of stuff other men from other races don’t normally do. Thus the reason for many of the problems in the black community. You really don’t want to head down that road.

@109 Philidon,
You need to STFU you ignorant piece of shytt. You come on here downing black women on a website that mostly has black women on here and if you take the time to read what most of us said is that we dont give a rats azz who the fluck Taye Diggs is married to or any other brother for that matter. Get your head out your azz and read what we are saying.
How stupid do you sound putting this crap on here. For one you cant speak on all black women. For one when you refer to black women they are not Bytches. You seem to be very ignorant but of course weak people like you are hiding behind your computer screen spitting your nonsense. Its alright be brave but I bet you wouldnt spit that nonsense to a sistah in her face. Punks jump up to get beat down.

@116 I agree with you. @121 I never saw the show “Spin City” that you were talking bout.
but Honestly I don’t have a problem with interracial dating. IF U LOVE THE PERSON BE WITH THEM. I myself want to MARRY A BLACK MAN but if GOD don’t have that in my future so be it. but from the preview I saw of the show it looked wacked. I didn’t even know he was married and honestly I DON’t GIVE A DAMN, he is a handsome man and I like most of the movies he played in.

Monday, December 18, 2006 /

@145– I have no doubt that black women WERE NOT responsible for the threats, and never meant to apply they were. Where did you get that from what I said? I was just pointing out why the issue (and the interviewer bringing it up) might have made Taye react the way he did.

Plus I really don’t see him blaming black women for the downfall of the show. The only reference to black women and the cancellation is from this website saying that “rumour has it…blah, blah, blah.” Nothing out of Taye’s mouth seems to blame black women for anything.

For the record, if you ever read the entire article not once did Taye make the statement of “African-American women refused to support the series because Diggs’ love interest wasn’t black.” This was purely speculation and “rumor” on the writer’s part. But I believe there could be some truth to it based on the context and premise of his other statements.

Just to follow up with his stupidity….CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY TAYE IS SO MAD?? IF HE WAS REALLY SECURE WITH HIS WIFE, THEN HE WOULD SAY FUCK THE HATERS AND KEEP IT MOVING…HE KNOWS HE’S WACK! As far as being fine…I’ve seen BETTER!

Once he blew up after “How Stella got her groove back” he married a white woman. Insecure black men feel that once they gain fame and fortune what really puts them in the “success box” is the white woman. But if their mother’s were like many mothers of other races, those brothers wouldn’t even think about darkening their family’s front door with some ole’ poor white trash woman.

The show just wasn’t good or interesting. I really think that people just don’t care for Taye as an actor. I’ve never thought he was even a decent actor in any film that he was in.

183.

ThinkAboutIt

Monday, December 18, 2006 /

I checked for the show - but it wasn’t good… He’s a good actor, and it’s his business who he chooses to marry —

BUT - is he serious comparing a movie — [it's play, play ] compared to his real life choices???

I thought he was more intelligent than this interview seems to display and it seems that he has more of a problem with his interacial marriage than I think most people really care about.

eff taye diggs. I don’t care about his personal life. I don’t feel him because he comes off soft onscreen. He has the PUNK vibe. I just don’t feel him. He has no range. He can only play one kind of character and he doesn’t even do that all that well. It ain’t your mate, It’s YOU!!!!! And don’t try to pawn that off on the black community. I thought Paula Patton was the BOMB in De Ja VU, and it don’t get no whiter than her husband Robin Thicke(who is also the bomb)… so sell it somewhere else, Taye… you just mad cause you sorry!

I have no beef with people dating outside of their race. Shit my goal is to get wit at least one white girl before I graduate. The problem I have is when people dont give members of their own race a chance and date exclusively outside of their race.

Taye needs to stop crying. Black women didnt band together and consciously decide not to watch his show. All of America was disinterested you loser.

POINT BLANK it has nothing to do with his wife, the show just wasnt worth watching…Dave Chappell’s wife isn’t black and he is and always will have a HOOD pass just cause someone is married to someone outside thier race doesnt mean we dont like them anymore…it’s how U act once you get to a certain level of fame(my opinion)

Taye Diggs is a nice looking brotha that has something against black women…ok HE has to deal with that. But when you make it obvious that you don’t even want to get paid for just ACTING with a black woman, that’s rediculous. He don’t need to cut hisself short because of his personal issues. The show wasn’t really that good. I just thought his body was tight.
I say your personal life is your business. Not saying it’s true, but he may be intimidated because most black women are independent and he may like to control his women. Things that make you say Hmmm…..

177 @ms_mac1

That is true. The article does not actually state that. It is just a rumor. They have no factual information that African-American women are the cause of his show failing.

And when the writer says he interviewed a hand full of women, thats all it is, a handfull.

I think the show failed because not enough people overall watched it to keep it on the air.

His personal life is really a non-issue but Taye really does seem upset about how things have been going.

Maybe he is really bitter about African American women but he has to get over that and move on and live his life with his wife. He should just stay focussed on his next job and not bring up the issue that his wife is white and some people don’t like it.
We can all see that. Maybe he should just do his job and she does her job and no one will pay attention to his issue.

This is soooooo not important. Non of us know this man so this is just a waiste of time.

Taye just go and live your life and be happy. What people think is not going to change what is meant for you in your career.

I’ve never liked this fool!! He has always struck me as a Black man who thinks he’s too good for Black women (Wesley Snipes, anyone?). Like #190 MizzC mentioned, Dave Chappelle is married to an Asia woman, but he has still always kept things real. Taye is nothing but a whining bytch as far as I’m concerned. He’s not even a good actor! STFU!

@143 The interviewer did his job. Why dance around the issue. What I especially hated about the report was that it stereotyped black women. In so many words it says that black women like the “thug type”. I can’t stand that thug BS. It also said that black woman just loved them some Taye Diggs before they found he was married to a white woman. NOT TRUE, I never thought he was attractive at any point in his career. I especially hated him in “Stella”. Miss Cleo could have done a better job!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I’m sick of that whole black women only want thugs BS too (thanks Be for “Soldier” anyway. Saw the previews for daybreak and it looked stupid so I didn’t watch it. Now I love HEROES and one of the main characters is a black man with a white wife. Do I care? NO. My favorite character is the japanese guy that controls time.

And Taye, being married to a white woman does not mean that your road will be easier and you will somehow be more successful. Just in case you did’nt know. lol

Both of you and Taye are f*cking ignorant bastards who have the straight mutha cuntin audacity to even sit here and call us bitches and disrespecting us and turns out YOU NEED OUR HELP AND SUPPORT WHEN NOBODY ELSE WONT DO SHIT AND COULD GIVE A FLYING F*CK ABOUT YOUR ASSES. NO WOMAN WILL LOVE HER MAN LIKE A BLACK WOMAN DOES. DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF. WOMEN WHO WILL STRAIGHT UP RIDE AND GO FAR AND BEYOND FOR HER MAN. Talking about our jacked up attitudes, men like you are the reason why a black woman will give you attitude.Smfh.

Yall know damn well if this man had married a black woman he would be on this site evrey day and yall would be saying he so sexy and he could do no wrong and the whole nine. Keep it real, yall dont ,like him becuase he married a white woman, Thats all it is. he wasnt corney and a bad actor before then, he was the shit back in the day I rememebr ……suddenley hes not as attractive and apperently not a good actor. by the way this has nothing to do with his show, it looked wack anyway. but come now.

I dont have a problem with a man defending his wife. He’s supposed to do so. However, him stating that BLACK women didn’t support him because of his love interest, that’s a STRETCH! I haven’t watched anything dude was in since THE BEST MAN! I didn’t see Brown Sugar or anything thereafter. I just don’t like the roles he selects. That show where he was the lawyer with the baby was alright but after the 3rd episode it became WACK! The gay guy carried that show to me. Hell, he needs to wake up and get a freakin REALITY check! Um, hmmm, maybe he can be on a REALITY show. (wit a white woman and black woman!) That might work!

I was gonna leave this one alone…I haven’t been feeling your sweet ass from the get go! And I could never understand why you were chosen for some of the roles you played. You are a closet homosexual that needs to stay the fuck in the closet!! He was so fucking gay in the movie(How Stella got her groove back)! The reason he’s with that white woman is cause she probably thinks he just sweet,but a sista will call his ass out!!! I don’t even know what network the damn show was on,but I’m pretty sure a sista ain’t running it! Go cry to your white woman she understands your fuckin pain!!!!!TAYE-TAYE,I ain’t mad at you cause you choose to be with a white woman do you sweetie!!!!!! And for your comments regarding your fellow actors,I just want to say that as much as I hate the N WORD….YOU ARE A REAL N@#%^&! It’s a shame that when you look in the mirror you don’t like what you see. Oh, and another thing if you weren’t with that white woman you’d surely be with a white man!!!!

I agree with Sum1NeSpecial, I could care less who is dating who, but it’s when people state their reasons that I think we get offended, be male or female. Honestly girls….when we look at videos and a lot of them have spanish or other non-black races in them we get offended, because now-a-days it seems like a lot of men want anything but black, like it’s a celeb “in” thing now. Look at Fab, yeah he’s dominican and black, but ask him who he likes and he names ALL spanish women. Suprisingly Ester Baxter became his girlfriend…(she’s black right yall?)…anyway, when black men say I want a latin woman because they have good hair or a white woman because all mixed kids are cute, or white women don’t have attitudes or whatever else their reasoning is…once we hear one black man say that, it sticks in our head. So the next time we see a black man with someone who is not black, we become biased to it. I honestly overall don’t care, but do tend to stare when I see mixed couples…idk why I just do. I have no problem at all with mixed couples, but once I hear negative comments about black women and why men try other women, it does make me feel some type of way.

@ HDIZZLE…. I had no idea he was married to a white woman before this post. I swear I have not seen anything he has been on since How Stella Got Her Groove Back. I don’t care if he’s with a white woman, if your personality sucks trust me it’s going to show through your work. He sucks and I saw a commercial for the show one time and already knew I wasn’t going to like it. I just love how people blame can’t come to terms with themselves and like to blame others for their failures. Get a dick and grow up Taye…stop whinning and find something else to do. There have been plenty of other actors whose shows have been cancelled. Don’t blame the black women on your failures….white people make up the majority of this country….blame them for not watching your show dumb ass!

Also, might I add…I haven’t even heard of the darn show. The producers of the show prob. came up with their own reasoning as to why it sucked in ratings….don’t blame black women because you can’t write.

Well I watched the show and was like WTF….It was corny…I don’t know if it was the Latina girl or what but now reading what he said in the interview makes me rethink my support for him altogether…Yeah we should be over the whole race thing with love but I look at it this way support your sisters that supported you when yo azz didn’t have nothing…So the next time I have a choice I will see a movie with Denzel…What I don’t think some of these stars understand is that your FAN base important!!!!Without fans no producers would sign you…And that people I am out…

i personally dont believe that his show was dropped because of black women boycotting it as much as i could probably presume that “conservative” hollywood didnt like the idea of a black man with a woman.this, to me seems much more logical. The same people that were around in the 30’s and 40’s are unfortunantly still here and controlling some things by way of their offspring. by that i mean the same racist people who spat at the idea of a black man even looking at a their precious white women have planted their ignorant seed into their childrens minds are those are some of the same people running hollywood.

someone may have already had this opinion.

I doubt that black women not watching really hurt him unless ABC used his show to get black viewership. If that was the case I guess they missed his UPN/WB(I can’t tell them appart sorry) show. Before seeing this I didn’t really care. If he wanted to date a blue monster I wouldn’t have cared. His attitude and trying to tell black “what we want” annoys the hell out of me. Your show sucked that’s why it’s gone, we didn’t destroy your show.

He act like black women are the only ones watching tv these days. That show was lame cause don’t no body care about some lame plot that don’t even make sense. Shoot everybody thought that show was lame, and besides how come blk people always get the blame, what about the KKK that don’t want to see their own with an darkie so whateva man

Now Taye Diggs needs to stop blaming black women for a poorly written show that made no kind of sense. The acting was just not believable. I tried….Taye…I tired for 3 weeks to watch your show and it bored and confused me!

……I’m just ready for Lost to come back on!

#183 - I stand corrected

Read the whole story —
He didn’t blame black women - and the interviewer was the one who raised the whole “not married to a sister” issue

We have to go deeper than the headlines

There’s not even enough black women in the COUNTRY to affect the ratings this much. I can’t believe he would go there. There is just not that much power in that particular demographic to make a difference. And what makes him think he is so important that we were all scheming to boycott his show?! He thinks too much of himself; most people probably never even heard of the show and the rest just DON’T care. Plus, it is my understanding that he is the producer of the show. If you know this is how your audience feels about you and your on-screen love interests, why not do what your peers (who are also married to white women) do? They choose women of color as their leading ladies. Since you know that this is what makes money, then why not do it? Taye Diggs is trying to make a point and he wants everyone else to AMEN whatever he wants to do. You can’t force people to like you or whatever you’re doing. Wit them big ol’ elf ears.

It doesnt matter to me what he believes his show was cancelled…bc it has nothing to do with black women no liking the whole latina thing…I’m sure there are women out there like that but for me the show was WACK!!!! CORNY!!! I SLEPT when I watching it…Taye Diggs need to stay on the BLACK FILMS…I did like the Upn show for awhile but he acting skills is borderline seems he trying to hard
