In response, one fan wrote to Boosie: “So y'all more upset that Mrs Celie and Shug Avery was exploring their sexuality but didn’t draw the line at her being molested at 14 by her stepfather and having his kids? This really shows me why yall still let that 'Fresh' uncle come to the family reunion but throw your Gay kids on the street!” Another remarked: “That’s why it’s rated PG-13. Perhaps you should had done a bit of research on the movie, before you decided to bring your daughter to watch it.” Check out Boosie's post below.
