She tweeted: “I’m so grateful to you Laverne for coming on the journey with me thus far, and I’m looking forward to continuing my work on the film, and only ask that everyone give Laverne her space while keeping an open mind about the project before judging it.”
The documentary reportedly will focus on inequality of race, sexism, and poverty, as well as in criminal justice, through the lens of the debate surrounding the sex industry and will explore whether sex work is exploitative or empowering.
And Jones has defended the documentary and urged people not to write off the project before seeing it.
She wrote: “As a Black feminist artist, I have always centered the stories of traditionally marginalized people, especially women and femmes struggling for liberation and self-determination. My sisters in the sex industry are no exception.
“I am committed to deep listening to folks with lived experience, not only in my interviews but also in those we hire behind the scenes.”
