Zendaya didn't feel 'morally okay moving forward' with Aaliyah biopic

Zendaya Coleman (better known as simply Zendaya) posted a string of Instagram videos explaining why she dropped out of Lifetime's Aaliyah biopic following the announcement of her replacement, Alexandra Shipp, on Friday.

The Disney star said that her decision wasn't based on her not being "talented enough" or "black enough."

"The production value wasn't there, there were complications with the music rights and I just felt like it wasn't being handled delicately considering the situation," she said.

Zendaya Explains Why She Exited Lifetime's Aaliyah Biopic: The Production Value Wasn't There

Lifetime cast a new lead in its Aaliyah biopic after Zendaya Coleman backed out of the role last month without comment. Nickelodeon actress Alexandra Shipp will now take her place, but Coleman took to Instagram to explain why she exited the made-for-TV movie.

In three separate videos (watch them below) she said she didn't leave because of the haters like many fans thought. "The main reason is that the production value wasn't there, there were complications with the music rights, and I just felt like it wasn't being handled delicately considering the situation," she said.
