Billboard, adding that she has yet to watch the movie.
On Jan. 22, one day ahead of its premiere, Roper expressed her grievances on Twitter. "Sorry, but I gotta speak on this Lifetime special..," she began. "Too often, Black women who have made meaningful contributions in their industry are left out of historical narratives. Back when Salt n' Pepa was building our legacy, which is rooted in empowering women, I could not have dreamed that this same group would one day disempower me."
The star continued, "Words cannot fully express my disappointment when I learned a decision was made to move forward with a Lifetime biopic that wrongfully excluded me from every aspect of development and production..all the while using my image throughout, given that I played an integral role in the group's story and success." She went on to congratulate all of the film's cast members.
