You gotta love it when people get mad at a Hollywood actress for impersonating Michelle Obama SO WELL that they find it offensive. That’s where we are now.
Viola Davis plays Michelle Obama in a Showtime series called “The First Lady” and it premiered this past weekend. I didn’t watch it, but reports are that Davis does this thing that Michelle always does – which is to purse her lips. You’ve seen Michelle do this a million times and may not have ever realized it. And so, in order to best represent the character she is playing, Davis does it too. Makes sense, right?
Check out a few stills:

I mean, if you ask me, it’s SPOT ON. But viewers weren’t having it. They were outraged. The Daily Mail had a huuuuuge collection of reactions – here are just a few.

Here’s the trailer for the series – it looks pretty interesting, really, because it’s not just about Michelle Obama.
What do you think? Does Viola overdo it?
