Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has been quietly let go from her Warner Bros TV deal after producing no content.
Cullors, 39, signed the deal with the media giant in 2020 to much fanfare but it ended in secret in October 2022, it emerged on Friday.
The deal, unfortunately, did not result in any produced shows,' a source told the New York Post.
Cullors claimed in January 2022 that she was working on a documentary about how reparations were similar to the idea of landback, where Native Americans got back their lands, and another about black social mobility.
She also reportedly had scripted series about marijuana and black women leaders, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
'Black voices, especially Black voices who have been historically marginalized, are important and integral to today’s storytelling,' she said.
'Our perspective and amplification is necessary and vital to helping shape a new narrative for our families and communities. I am committed to uplifting these stories in my new creative role with the Warner Bros. family.
'As a long-time community organizer and social justice activist, I believe that my work behind the camera will be an extension of the work I’ve been doing for the last twenty years. I look forward to amplifying the talent and voices of other Black creatives through my work.'
The multi-platform deal was made to produce shows across the company's multiple revenue streams, including animated, children's content, scripted and unscripted shows.
The value of the deal was not disclosed.

Much like ACORN, BLM served its purpose (riots, looting, statue/name removal and of course getting every major sports org around the world to kneel and wear their logo every game) and now on to something different.
Ha.
And you’re being generous.
Just so happens I am listening to the full speech by Reverend King at Memphis April 3rd, 1968. He was speaking eloquently on behalf of the Santitation Workers.
No one can speak anymore.
Granted. he is speaking to his audience, but also to the Bull Connors of the Day.
While King has his detractors, I would say his, as well as the Black’s crusade was a righteous one.
If one gets a chance, listen to his full speech on youtube. The call to battle to march injunction or no is a powerful one.
And a lot of well-meaning people who wanted to improve the lives of black people and promote "social justice" were "had."
“If you added up the IQ of all of The View regulars, you might get close to room temperature.”
Yeah, in an igloo.
THAT IS THE BUSINESS PLAN. Spending other people's money. Anyone complaining will automatically be labeled as racist, sexist, etc, etc, etc. We (BLM) wanted our reparations, and we were not going to wait!
Just like Arafat and the PLO. Mrs Arafat living large in Paris while the PLO camps suffer. And, the current PLO 'leader' was Arafat's banker.
Well, what could we expect. After all, from the article & I quote..."I’m exhausted and I fear for my life daily."
Poor baby. Maybe she should have a chat with her brother.
Cullors' brother, Paul Cullors, set up two companies which were paid $1.6million providing 'professional security services'
I doubt very much that she’s ever paid to belong to a guild.
Martin Luther King was far from perfect. There is evidence that he was a womanizer, and a plagiarist.
I don’t care. He call to nonviolent protest against racism is what matters. That’s the key point. That’s what makes him a great American. Everything else is secondary.
I will not say that MLK is comparable to George Washington. Because he is not. Nevertheless, there are some similarities. Washington was also imperfect. He was a slave owner. And he lost his share of battles. But his vision for a better America is what matters the most.
Same with King.
She was probably given a $5 million advance which she has already spent.
Why is Warner so racist? They expect productivity? Bigots.
Haven't thought about them for a long time. They existed for decades, helped get Obama elected, but then by 2009, they were investigated and scorned. Congress cut all their Federal funding. James O'Keefe helped finish them offer with a secret video of some ACORN staff offering to help him traffic girls to a brothel.
By 2010, they were bankrupt.
Weird parallels to BLM
She’s also a MARXIST race-banister and whitey hater.
A smart person or business knows a fraud, phoney and con-artist when they hear one.
The clowns missed it and paid dearly for it. Well deserved, suckers.
Warner Brothers might view the whole thing as innoculation against that sort of debacle in the future.
These people are all posers.
sounds like reparations

I believe she’s allowed to be late 47 times.
She’s a self identified Marxist if I recall correctly. THAT is the problem the Democrats have with her.
