EXCLUSIVE: Freida Pinto as Osama Bin Laden's Sex Slave??
Controversial best selling author and former Osama Bin Laden Sex Slave, Kola Boof, has revealed that Hollywood Studio Lionsgate wants to cast freida pinto in her biopic titled 'Osama and the Sex Slave' with Adrien Brody playing Osama's role.This film is based on her book 'Diary of a Lost Girl' . But Ms.boof wants only kerry washington or Naomi campbell to play her onscreen. Liongate executives seems to have rejected her choice saying they are both too old for the role.In her Interview to NthWord ,she has expressed her outrage about this casting and branded hollywood as racist. Here are some excerpts from her interview: Recently you expressed your frustration over the potential casting for a movie to be made from your autobiography?? Yes! We have three different companies interested in making a film of my experiences as Osama Bin Laden's mistress in 1996. To my shock, an executive at Lionsgate films wants the Indian actress Freida Pinto to play me. I'm chocolate skinned with African hair mind you. So I find it the epitome of Western Colorism—wanting to have this woman who looks nothing like a Black person portray me. The studio executive said that I'm biracial, which technically is true, so he feels that an Egyptian-Sudanese woman could look like Freida Pinto. But it's so insulting and hurtful. What they're saying is that Black women aren't beautiful. People still find it shocking that I was Bin Laden's pick for degrading rape—but they don't find it shocking that Prince Charles chose Camilla Parker Bowles over Princess Diana or that Monica Lewinsky isn't exactly a raving beauty. Dark skinned women are portrayed as fat maids, drug addicts, prostitutes and jolly comics. Those images are created on purpose to fit white people's fear of dark skinned wombs and their power to create more authentically black people. This intense form of racism that even Black men participate in perpetuating is why so many Black women wear fake hair and bleach their skin. Black men only care about racism when it's aimed at the black penis--they care nothing for the fate of their dark mothers. This is a struggle that Black women face completely alone. On the other end of your question is the fact that supermodel Naomi Campbell wants to play me. I was overjoyed to be contacted from her representatives in Russia, her fiancé’s production company. I don't think she can act, but she certainly has the personality and the look to be convincing as Kola Boof. I'm a huge fan of Naomi's. PS: Interestingly,according to Kola Boof, Hollywood Studios also wants to cast Freida Pinto or Jessica Alba in an another film based on her latest book “The Sexy Part of the Bible”. Here is what she said : "My latest book, “The Sexy Part of the Bible,” was recently sent to Hollywood studios for consideration as a movie and I’m getting an interesting though hurtful response. Though in literary circles the book has been praised by the Boston Globe, Publisher’s Weekly and Booklist and features a charcoal-skinned supermodel who discovers she’s a clone and starts her own country—one studio executive said he’d love to “see it financed as a musical” with Indian actress Frieda Pinto or Jessica Alba cast as Eternity the clone

"Sad that they trie to portray her as a sex slave. Osama was a very religious man....yes he was extreme in his thinking...but having a sex slave etc. is just media hype of the Americans. Kola herself has said many times that she was never a sex slave. She claims that the American media says this to make the story more interesting"
It's sad ur actually trying to defend Osama Bin Laden... I bet ur a Pakistani Muslim
Oh wow I have never seen or heard of Aissa Maiga before but she is stunning!
Zoe is beautiful and talented but she should stay away from movies like this. As for Freida, alothough she doesn't look one bit african or latino, she might take this since there are no more movie offers for her. Someone like her who has no talent should use up the time they have left wisely. I see an box-office failure and many bad reviews for her to come if she takes this part.
Adrian Brody as osama? What?! No bad choice.
To clear things up further you can be black and latino. Latino is not a race but a culture. So Latinos can be of European, African, Asian, Amerindian, Indigenous, and mixed race backgrounds. The problem here is that people are mixing up ethnicity and race. It's like saying a black person couldn't possibly be a French person. Or a white person couldn't be a South African.
Umm, to clear up the debate on Zoe Saldana's ethnicity, she's technically Afro-Latina. Her parents are from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, two countries with heavily mixed-race demographics, the roots of which can be traced back to the colonial slave trade.
Zoe considers herself "una mujer negra": a black woman. If the words have come out of her own mouth, who are we to box her in to any other category?
I love how the majority of the actresses posted below are light skinned. Kola specifically wants a dark skinned actress to play her. Kola speaks alot about colorism/shadeism becuase it has had such an effect on her life.
Who should play Kola Boof?
Aissa Maiga
Adepero Oduye
Condola Rashad
Naomie Harris
Stephanie Okereke
Genevieve Nnaji
Tika Sumpter
Anika Noni Rose
Naturi Naughton
Keshia Night Pulliam
Monique Coleman
Camille Winbush
Aissa is my top pick!
Also zoe has earned respect in Hollywood whilst freida hasn't. Zoe was atleast called back for Avatar 2 and Star Trek 2. Was Freida called back for the Dawn of the Apes 2014? Its the sequal to Rise of the Plant of the Apes. She got a razzie award nomintaion for that terrible performence as James Franco girlfriend. I don't think she will be back. They are thinking of bringing back James Franco though.
Glad to see someone else making sense on here. I actually laughed out loud when I saw this thread and the comments people were making in Freida's favour. Let her first get Zoe's resume and Hollywood credibility then we'll talk...people.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Voicewriter. Its only one person who is in favour of Freida. I ask you to go check out any related freida post and you will see one person leaving many comments talking about great/beautiful/talented freida is. They also like to put down the other bollywood actresses and act like a group of 'westerners' supporting freida. So pathetic. They have even put down hollywood actresses too lol. They like to praise freida high cheekbones and will write that she has delicte beauty while aishwarya is fat, beaky nose,etc.
If you check you justjared,pinkvilla,youtube,rediff,dailymail. You will find the same style of writiing and other people have noticed this person too.

Umm Zoe Saldana has become the go to black actress for roles for 20-30 age range. Not Freida.
Zoe Saldan is OLD, I remember in Pirates of the Caribbean back in 2003, she must be mid 30s now.
Freida is good for the mid 20s ethnic woman role, that's probably why she's being offered them
_______________________________________________
Zoe Saldaña is old? She's 34. Same age as Vidya Balan, Rani Mukherjee, Katie Holmes & just one year older than Bipasha Basu. Never mind the fact that she has starred in the most successful Hollywood film of all time (AVATAR) I would tread lightly when comparing her to Freida Pinto(27) who seems to be stuck in a career rut, even Paula Patton (36) who only started acting in 2005 has a more enviable career than Freida's right now. Even Naomie Harris (36) is a bond girl in the latest James Bond movie. Ageism in Hollywood is not as cut-throat as in Bollywood.

Please, let's be real. Pinto needs to fire her management team and hire Patton's or Saldaña's.
Even if you're talking about talented 20-30 year-old ethnic actresses (and keeping in mind that there aren't that many within that age range) in Hollywood, Pinto would not even appear on my list of choices. I would first consider:
1. Ashley Madekwe (30)
2. Lauren London (27)
3. Kat Graham (23)
4. Camilla Belle (26)
5. Devon Aoki (30)
6. Jessica Alba (though she just turned 31)
7. Catalina Sandino Moreno (though she just turned 31)
8. Megan Good (though she just turned 31)
9. Megalyn Echikunwoke (29)
10. Lea Michelle (26)
Sad that they trie to portray her as a sex slave. Osama was a very religious man....yes he was extreme in his thinking...but having a sex slave etc. is just media hype of the Americans. Kola herself has said many times that she was never a sex slave. She claims that the American media says this to make the story more interesting
Sex slave?? She herself decided to attract Osama
she was never a sex slave!!! this kola woman is a cheap spy...that would sleep with osama and made osama believe she loves him just to get information
LOL @Catharina.

Agree! Especially with Gugu Mbatha-Raw, not about this particular role but that girl is beautiful and highly underrated.
@Aristocrat
I thought Rosario Dawson was a Black Hispanic, not Zoe Saldana. I guess they both are.

Her mother is definitely not white! Probably biracial and hispanic but not white.
Ms.boof is very verbal
Naomi Campbellis way to sexyyyyyyyyyyy
Iman would be a good fit if she was 25 years younger. She has that classic Ethiopian/Somali face
Actually I googled kola and freida and her both have high cheek bones but Kola looks like a man.
Freida could easily curl her straight hair so that is not an issue. This woman just needs to shut her big mouth no offence.
freida has such a sweet naive face and kola looks like a man.... this is the wrong casting choice!!!
@kitty it will be up for debate for sure. i am curious what the outcome will be.

zoe is mixed..mom white dad black.Do your research
You could have bothered to add a picture of Ms.Boof in the article,dude.
Anyway I googled her and she looks nothing like pinto. She totally has a point. In India too, at least 70% of the population has chocolate brown skin, but not a single heroine or hero in bollywood looks like that. What's worse is actresses like Frieda or Bipasha get mocked for their dark skin.
And living in the US, I agree that african-american women's appearance is really marginalized by society and media. And it is the black men who do most damage to black women's image.
Hahahahaahahahahahaha lollll talk about INSULTING. its really really, really sad, but unfortunately the truth, whether you like it or not: we indians will always be second class to white folk, and they know that :(
