‘Friday’ Actress Angela Means Cries Discussing Fans Negative Reactions To Her Felicia Character: I’ll see people saying, ‘Bye, you d*rty bitch’

Sometimes a character an actor plays in a film, follows them into their real life. 

Actress Angela Means was awarded the role to play Felicia in Friday. In a recent interview with Comedy Hype, Angela Means discussed how her character in the movie was allegedly overlooked by fans. Angela Means explained:

“I was really feeling her emotions, I was feeling a lot of fear, a lot of things that happened to Felicia.” 

The 58-year-old continued:

“Maybe people were tired of her….Why was there so much hate for such an obviously beautiful woman? She’s kind, you didn’t hear her using any profanity…Why would they be so unkind to a family member?”

Angela elaborated:

“Why would they be so dismissive? Why would no one defend her? And I’ve asked this question for 30 years.” 

The mother of one questioned:

“Why is it so easy for us to dismiss each other like that?…When people come at me and even to this day, I’ll see people saying, ‘Bye, you dirty bitch, you f—ed up bitch, you dumb bitch.’ Not one time, not even the mother, said, ‘Hey, it’s Felicia. I wonder what’s going on with her.’ Not one person.”

27 years ago the stoner comedy Friday was created and released by music industry mogul Ice Cube and DJ Pooh. The movie reflects on one Friday in South Central Los Angeles in the lives of Craig Jones played by Ice Cube and Smokey played by comedian Chris Tucker. Throughout the movie Craig lost his job and is forced by the neighborhood bully Deebo to pay back the $200 worth of marijuana that he smoked with his Smokey or they would be killed. Felicia, played by Angela was featured in the movie as  a neighborhood drug addict.
