Forgive me… my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth.

Pac never read me that poem. I didn’t know that poem existed until it was printed in his book.

Pac never said goodbye to me before leaving for LA. He had to leave abruptly and it wasn’t to pursue his career.

I’ve never been to any of Pac’s shows by his request. We never had an argument backstage.

The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful.

To @KatGraham and @Dshippjr this is no fault of yours. Thank you for bringing so much heart and spirit to your roles.

Producer L.T. Hutton heard her statements and decide to respond while expressing his vision for what was put into the film.
He said the following to TMZ:
He explained he and the filmmakers took a few liberties because they were trying to show who Tupac was, who he wanted to be … and who he had to be.
Hutton says he studied Jada’s own words about Pac in interviews, and feels she was fairly represented. He made it clear, he had no intention of hurting her, and last he’d heard … she was all good with the film.
