Before snatching the lead role in this film, Mills starred as Dorothy in the Broadway Play “The Wiz. She explained why she decided to take the role of Birdie Moore. “I couldn’t relate to the reality thing because I don’t like reality TV,” she said.

“But I could relate to what was going on personally. I could definitely relate to being a mother loving her son so much that she wanted to cover up whatever he was doing. I have a son who is 22 years old and he cons me every day.
