Two men in a Virginia barbershop got into a heated argument over whether Halle Berry would play Aretha Franklin in a biopic. According to WKTR, police said the fight turned into a physical altercation.
Before the Queen of Soul’s August 16 death, she’d expressed interest in having Berry play her in a biopic based on Franklin’s memoir, Aretha: From These Roots. But Berry confessed she couldn’t sing and wouldn’t do the role justice. Singer Jennifer Hudson was eyed for the role instead.
The debate evidently led to the incident. During the melee, 44-year-old Michael Jermell Hatton, produced a firearm and shot Tony Jonathan Lundy, 47, at least once outside of the shop.
People inside a nearby business heard four to five shots.
Lundy is reportedly in critical condition at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.
Hatton was treated for his injuries and released from the hospital. He was eventually transported to the Western Tidewater Regional Jail, where he remains held without bond.
The investigation is ongoing. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
I wonder what color Michael Jermell Hatton is? Probably a negro.
He is…….I live in Virginia near the area…..smfh
Ive heard stupid shit in my life but this top 5. At 44 shooting over a movie ?AMERICA!!!
black being blacks
bringin dindu back
Fucking pathetic.
Now this had better be sime made b.s. how in thw world is Hallee Berry going to paky Aretha Franklin as skinny as she is. There’s only one person I can think to paly Aretha who has the pipes and I don’t even have to name her. Jennifer Hudson 😉
No no no. The only person to play Aretha should be Fantasia. She has the vocal range and all. JHud cant sing high enough.
You got that right Fantasis should definitely play Aretha
If there was a movie about Celine Dion, rest assured there won’t be no shootings over no actress choices #BlackPeopleShit
But two white boys killed over scream right ? Let me here you when a white guy fucks up
negros being classy as usual!
Maybe that guy could play Aretha because he’ll be singing those high notes after he drops the soap.
There’s no problem with some disrespect being handled with a hammer. Enough of this pussy shit in the comments
Only people who “handle” disrespect with hammers are those who aren’t mature enough to handle it by listening to what the other has to say and agree to disagree, and BITCHES who don’t know how to fight. Smfh
Man up, you need to Handle a dick with your mouth.
It seems like the person with fragile emotions is the sissy. Why would a person hurt someone over words? It’s not like the guy was stealing from him.
Black people and their fragile egos. Smh
Lmao somehow, we’re going to act like this type of behavior, doesn’t exist within all types of races?
More white egos led to slaves being thrown off the slaves ships into the ocean than stupid egos like barber shop shots
I personally know the guy who was shot.He is a friend of mines and he didnt deserve to be hurt over something so stupid.I’ve been in a lot of barbershops in my life and there are always arguements.Seems like me he was having a bas day and took it out on Tony.I hope he stays in jail ! SPC LOVES YOU TONY !!
& that folks is why guns should be illegal… SMH!!!
fake news?
