Gabrielle Union spilled some piping hot tea about Bring It On !
Although the teen comedy primarily focused on the Rancho Carne High School Toros, it turns out their East Compton High School Clovers rivals could have been in the movie more — if it weren’t for this weird deliberate scheme from production. On Saturday, the 49-year-old actress revealed there were extra scenes of her character Isis and the other Clovers cheerleaders that were only filmed for the trailer to trick audiences into thinking she and her co-stars were actually in the film more. Seriously?!
The momma posted to her TikTok snippets of the original trailer, featuring only the particular extra scenes with the Clovers that never ended up in the movie. She said in the video:
“Storytime! So we shot these snippets that you see here after the film wrapped. Because once test audiences saw the movie, they wanted more of the Clovers. And we shot these, only for the trailer, not for the movie, in order to make people think we were in the movie more than we were. The end. ”
Wow! Ch-ch-check out typically the confession (below):

TBH, this is pretty messed up move from this production. And FYI, we still want more of the Clovers! You can also ch-ch-check out the truck (below):
While Partnership has largely praised the film, she has admitted in often the past that the original script wrote her character “like a bad stereotype. ” She told Vogue back in 2020:
“ There was the line within the original script that will was like, ‘ Meow! Me-gonna-ow you! My nails are long, sharp, and ready to slash! ’ … Huh? And of which girl ends up at U. C. Berkeley? How did girls from Compton talk in their minds? How about we make her a very clear leader where her path to cheer justice is done with a lot more class and dignity but also justifiable anger. She doesn’ t need to speak in made-up, Blaxploitation dialogue. ”
The LA’s Finest alum furthermore confessed that she regrets how she portrayed Isis, saying the girl “muzzled” her in an interview with Good Morning America in September:
“I do think it was a mistake. I was given full range to be able to do whatever I wanted with Isis in Take it On, and I chose respectability and to be classy and take the high road because I felt like that would make her be appropriate, the right kind of Black girl. Black girls aren’t allowed for you to be angry. Certainly not demonstratively angry and I muzzled her. We would have allowed her the girl full humanity, and part of being a full human is your ability to express rage when harmed. ”
Union continued:
“When you don’t really allow yourself your full range of emotion and you muzzle your own emotions, it allows people to think, ‘Maybe what I did wasn’t that bad. ’ I would have given her all the exact anger. I had muzzled the woman and made her this gracious, decent leader and I was still a villain in the fact that movie. I did all that shape-shifting for a character, and then I realized I was doing that to myself too. I actually wasn’t allowing myself the full range of my humanity. ”
