"I’m a sucker for a good love story, DuVernay tweeted. "If no one is gonna write this for the screen, then I will. Although I’m booked til 2021. So that probably won’t work. Can someone step up?"
Waithe quickly answered that call. "Are you trolling me??? Let me look at my slate and try to unbook myself. But I also see this as a docuseries."
YES PLEASE! We need more from Kiesh and Crystal! Now excuse me while I blow my nose real quick...
