Sources Claim Nia Long Acted Like a Diva on the Set of ‘The Best Man Holiday’

According to Page Six, Nia acted like a diva on the set of “The Best Man Holiday.”

Page Six writes:

But we’re told this isn’t the first time Long has allegedly acted up on set. A source said she held up shooting on 2013’s “The Best Man Holiday” because “she insisted her character wear white when the director wanted everyone in black” for a funeral scene.

The source said, “She threw a huge fit and held up production for nearly an hour because she refused to wear black . . . She argued, ‘My character wouldn’t be wearing black to a funeral! She would wear white!’ They eventually gave in because they felt like it was a frivolous battle.”

Another source who worked on the project did not recall the incident, saying, “She seemed lovely to me.” But the first source said, “Nia knows she’s demanding . . . She says it’s because she’s so passionate about the art.”

  1. This is why her rep should have kept it cute. Now more people are going to come forward and spill her tea.

    1. Agreed. Her rep caused more damage by trying to shade Empire like people needed a publicity stunt to remember to watch one the most popular shows on TV.

  2. Nia needs to take all of this as a sign. It always pays to be humble and respectful to everyone. You can be passionate about your craft and still be a joy to work with.

  3. It honestly sounds like she just takes herself way too seriously. Viola is an amazing actress who really gets deep into her characters so much so that that snot runs out her nose in her crying scenes, but she’s not hard to work with. Nia should try it sometimes.
