Hollywood emasculates actors. 

Blog King, Mass Appeal

HOLLYWOOD — If you’re a male thespian in pursuit of a prolonged métier in Hollywood, all you have to do is… wear a dress. Spill Today released the documentary of actor Jaleel White who was basically blacklisted because he stopped dressing like a bitch. Jaleel was the main protagonist in the popular 90s sitcom “Family Matters.” He played nerdy Steve Urkel — the blundering, yet ingenious scientist who generated laughs with his signature suspenders, oversized glasses, snort-enhanced chortle and high-pitched, nasally voice. His catchphrase was, “Did I do that?” Steve was also in love with his prepossessing neighbor, Laura Winslow. All hell broke loose when ABC producers coerced Jaleel to play Steve’s female cousin, Myrtle Urkel — the rich Southern belle from Biloxi, Mississippi. It’s a dramatis personae Jaleel despised from the get-go.

So did his family.

“At the end of that first episode playing Myrtle, I went into my dressing room and I cried,” Jaleel recounted.

“And then the producers came to check on me and my dad told them that I would never do that character again.”

To compound matters, Reginald VelJohnson (Carl Winslow) and Jo Marie Payton (Harriette Winslow) treated Jaleel like sh*t.

They were jealous of the fandom that encircled Urkel’s characters.

Jaleel ain’t the only emasculated dude to don a frock on-screen. Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Kenan Thompson, Tyler Perry, Brandon T. Jackson, Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are among the many comedians who got their big break after cross-dressing. Social media reaction was wild. One commenter wrote, “The Illuminati put white actors and comedians in dresses too. Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Patrick Swayze, Rodney Dangerfield, and Jared Leto… just to name a few.” Another viewer added, “In Hollywood, before they make you, they break you. It’s all about control.”

Keep in mind, in the bible, Deuteronomy 22:5 says, “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all who do so are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.” 

Damn, hope wearing a dress was worth it.

Watch the explosive documentary.

  1. Sorry no excuses for the drag stuff. When the producers come at their pockets they suddenly change their minds. It’s a masonic humiliation ritual whether they know they are apart of it or not.

  2. Notice how they were pushing for the drag agenda even back then. This goes to show how far they were willing to push the envelope to exploit these actors, especially on the youth. Their goal was to sodomize and sexualize actors, especially children so that they will be desensitized and conditioned to becoming something they are not. This is why the truth is finally coming out and people need to know the truth of what really goes on with Hollywood.

  3. Dave Chappelle wore a dress in Robin hood men in tights,93 movie……..gotcha bitch

  4. Flip Wilson was a pioneer for niggas in dresses. That’s all he did.

  5. This is so wicked and evil and abomination to GOD .reaping time is coming

  6. Myrtle’s laugh and snort is absolutely hilarious! Ew hoo hoo hoooo snort, snort, snort!

  7. Not everyone in a dress can be a comedic genius. Jaleel was on another level

  8. People please stop being ignorant, its spiritual it’s all spiritual…..The more they make you sin, the more powerful we become they target the black man’s masculinity because you’re stronger than they are, you were born to be a warriors king, the elites knows this, slow self genocide is their goal, a black man in Hollywood don’t know what they’re up against, these people are lethal and their goal is to corrupt every black man with money and wealth just to delete your soul.

  9. I don’t see a man dressed up like a woman as funny. Thats white people humor.

  10. Ok Jaleel but you played the Myrtle Urkle role at least 3 more times after that.

  11. We need to stop worshipping celebrities we The ppl need to stand up for what’s righteous. The elites are a demonic society PERIOD!

  12. I mean it’s not playing a girl just for “fun” dude your fuckin working like you have a JOB and the adults who were like “your not doing our race justice” like dude your hired to play a role and sitcom shows the directors are STRICT ASF so why would he argue with the director about having to wear a dress and act like a girl? Like people make no fuckin sense

  13. Damn what a shame; this is why people need to stand against the anti-American anti-JudeoChristian anti-LIFE anti-Family Pedophilic race-baiting satanic CCP NWO George Soros funded liberal Demoncrat party…

  14. Acting or not, NO man should ever put a dress on under any circumstances.

  15. What was MORE wrong than him being in a dress was for the adults to attack a child doing his job.
    If it weren’t for Steve, the show wouldn’t have lasted as long as it did. 🎬📺

  16. Let’s talk about how difficult Jaleel was to work with & was really an asshole

  17. As a Dad, I understand where his father was coming from. But there is a LOT of bad history in Hollywood about making black males wear a dress. I read an article that said eventually, Jaleel told the writers that if they wanted him to do it again he would, which is unfortunate. His father should have probably told the writers NO, but it is what it is.

  18. Jo Marie and Reggie were right. He caved to the pressure from the network putting on that dress.

  19. Urkel was the star of that show. He was supposed to be a one-time character, but he was so well-received they gave him more episodes and he became a regular. It seems like the adults, esp. the original mom, resented him for his success and popularity. It seems like if the adults had an issue with the Myrtle Urkel character, then they should have spoken to the writers, and not put pressure on a child.

  20. Jaleel White was unbelievably good as Urkel, this over-the-top nerdy black boy, and other characters. (I didn’t know there had been a girl character. I missed most of Family Matters, from my place in life at that time.) And him playing a “nerdy black boy” probably did a lot to help both nerds and black kids. Playing a girl character should have been fine for a boy or a young man or a grown man. That’s a character, for comedy or serious purposes, in a fictional story, to comment on real life. Why do we all get so upset over that? white folks and black folks and whoever, why do we get all upset about it? Why can’t we laugh at the humor and think carefully about the serious bits? why can’t we also be OK with it if someone is in-between in some way like that, not straight or not in the expected gender role? Why can’t we understand and accept that too? And it sounds like in the case of this character and him as a very young actor, this was not about that, it was just a character being played, a girl relative of Urkel or (a girl version of Urkel?) OK. There was also the ultra-suave Stefan Urkel character, right? So why do we get all upset over a “girl Urkel” character played by a boy actor? That took guts, commitment, and it looks like he did a great job. So why get so upset at a child / teen actor that the dad has to step in and say, y’all adults messed up, you’ve hurt this kid’s feelings for no good reason, now let him be, and no more of this role because of this nonsense. why, when he did a good job as an actor, as a kid using his imagination? Nothing wrong with that. Everything I’ve ever seen about him says he did an incredible job as the range of characters, from a young kid up into his young adult life. That takes huge talent, and that should be praised and appreciated. Too bad those other actors were too upset over the other issues to think of Jaleel himself and his case. (And yes, I do get their point too, I’m not insensitive to that.) Just shaking my head. I’m sure they meant well, but they missed the point.

  21. I have wondered about this, too~ why Hollyweird is always wanting to put men in dresses.
    I think…..now we know 😢

  22. Crazy to think how it was perceived back then, to stars like Martin Lawrence and Tyler Perry turning their characters into million dollar movies.

  23. The whole black man in a dress in Hollywood is nonsense! Dustin Hoffman played Tootsie, Robin Williams played Mrs. Doubtfire, Steve Martin put a sleazy skirt on (The Jerk 🤔 I think), Arnold Schwarzenegger put on a dress in Kindergarten Cop. All white men! I never heard ppl question their sexuality or reduce them in any way.

    If Jaleel or any other black dude wants to play a part in any given movie, then it’s their choice. Not some grand scheme to reduce or ridicule you.

  24. But he did play her more then once so The studio forced him to do it again and he caved obviously!

  25. Jaleel was brilliant portraying all the characters that he did on Family Matters. He did an incredible job portraying Myrtle Urkel! I’m sorry that Reggie and Jo Marie made him feel bad for playing a female character. That was wrong. He was amazing! I’m glad Myrtle was brought back every now and then. Jaleel is such a fine versatile actor. No one else could have portrayed those characters the way he did. It would be great to see him in movies. He does so well in comedy roles in sitcoms, but he would do just as well starring in serious roles in movies. Thank you Jaleel for your superior work.

  26. Fast forward 30 years later, sadistic parents encourage their sons to wear dresses and be feminine as a social status! 🤦🏻‍♂️

  27. It’s weird, some Black comedians wear a dress and their careers sky rocket. Others wear a dress and their careers die. There must be more to wearing the dess that’s done behind the sceens. Has to be.

  28. Hollywood executives are part of the illuminati , they worship the Devil.

  29. Anything to humiliate gods people. It say don’t wear women clothes in the Bible

  30. Putting actors in dresses has nothing to do with color. They do it to ALL colors of actors. Sometimes it’s probably innocent, but evil execs like to demasculinize men so we’re easier to control. It’s all a psyop. They want colors/cultures to hate each other so they don’t work together to defeat the real enemy. Rich bureaucrats.

  31. He just doesn’t have the looks or sex appeal of: Idris Elba; Denzel in his youth and middle age; John David Washington (Denzel’s son); John Boyega; Jamie Foxx; Will Smith; Shemar Moore; Wesley Snipes; Michael B. Jordan; Terence Howard; Dennis Haysbert; Morris Chestnut; Mike Colter; Giancarlo Esposito; Delroy Lindo; Blair Underwood;
    LolMichael Jai White; Tyrese; Lance Gross;
    Daniel Kaluuya; Sterling K. Brown; Michael Ealy; Chadwick Boseman; Jonathan Majors; Don Cheadle; Michael K. Williams; Anthony Mackie; Cuba Gooding Jr; Taye Diggs; Mekhi Phifer;… the list goes on and on. When you Google “Black male movie stars”, there’s a LOOOONNNNG😂 list of guys his age [46] and younger, who are just “blessed in the face” in a way that he’s just not (no shade to him). He’s been steadily working in both television and movies since he was 3 years old, both before, *and after*, “Family Matters” – for his looks, he hasn’t done badly at all even as an adult actor, in a business where 92% of actors are unemployed at any given time.

  32. PLEASE!!! JALEEL KILLED THAT ROLE, WHY??? BECAUSE HE PLAYED MYRTLE AND NAILED IT!!!!💪😤💯 IF THE ROLE YOU PLAY IS A POSITIVE INSPIRATION OR APART OF IT THEN ITS GREATNESS❤️💕❤️💕💪😤💯

  33. Just plain old “WHITE“ Supremacy to show they are the owners of you! Same thing mas’sa did on the plantation to boys dressing them in girl attire and raping them!!!
