Next year, a film adaptation of the young adult fantasy book Children of Blood and Bone is set to arrive in theaters. However, Adeyemi alleges in a new TikTok video that this goes beyond her not liking the movie, and claims that there’s something more insidious going on here. This follows a previous (since-deleted) video in which the author said she was “officially separating [her] name” from the film. She asks fans to understand that she never wants to hear about the movie again, and asserts that she’s trying to move on. When the film’s cast was first announced, the Children of Blood and Bone adaptation was accused of colorism, specifically concerning the casting of Stenberg, though the Hate U Give actor claims that Adeyemi wanted her in the role and defended the casting.
