@MrElliottNelson @FeedMeCake_123 You speak on their behalf. You claim we didn’t pay them 🤦🏽‍♀️ And your (vicarious) offence is more important than their non-offence. Great ‘facts’ there. Sorry, not worth it.

@PJMadam @FeedMeCake_123 ‘They have a sense of humour’ 🤦🏽‍♂️ oh good, glad they could laugh off your comments. And the answer to being expected to ‘fake it’ is simple, don’t do it in the first place and if you really need to do it, don’t line your pockets in the process

@netflix extreme engagement.... how did it make it on, that shit is so offensive, so backward and so damaging. ‘Can’t expect a white woman to be possessed’ oh my 🤦🏾 NOPE

@FeedMeCake_123 @MrElliottNelson They have a sense of humour. They helped make the show. Differences do not = offence. We organised for the edited episode to travel back to them to watch. Translated in their language. They’re still not offended.

@zammit_marc @netflix Thank you mate!

watched a great documentary on @netflix #extremeengagement @PJMadam and #timnoonan what adventures you went on! PJ your commitment was unreal! you really went all In & handled some very intense situations so well! Doc was a blender of emotions something I can relate to a lot!

@PearlOfIreland @netflix I certainly do. I am biracial also. I called myself ‘white’ on the show as that what the TRIBES called me being from the west. They’d call us both WHITE because we are not from their land. And your culture is not theirs. Again, stop speaking for the tribe!

@PJMadam @netflix Actually not white I'm mixed my mother is black and my boyfriend is Liberian. So I'm speaking on cultures that are near and dear to my heart but that is something you wouldn't know about

Watched half an episode of #ExtremeEngagement on @netflix and I'm trying to figure out what the hell Netflix executives were smoking when they green lighted this racist, misogynistic, down right HORRIBLE show?!? I want to smack @PJMadam this whole episode! Just HORRIBLE!

@thando_mthonti And are you saying they don’t have a sense of humour? Maybe check the genre next time because, as a rom-com, the show is clearly not anthropological take on tribes.

@PJMadam - you were horrible to those wonderful people in Cameroon who welcomed you into their safe spaces. Horrible!!

I tried to watch Extreme Engagement on @netflix , a doccie about an Australian couple that is engaged that decides to travel the world to see how different nations and tribes transition into marriage, I guess the focus is on the woman in the relationship.

@thando_mthonti Thanks for your @ and sorry you felt so offended but the Mbum were not. Might be hard for you to believe but they helped us make the show and we’re ‘in’ on every scene. So they knew everything we said at all times (thanks to several translators).

People are worried about paying their rent and what’s going to happen to their family. They shouldn’t be worried about whether a government website is even going to work. We’ve got to do better than this. theguardian.com/australia-news…

@Johnwea16353006 Hi there! No, thank YOU for taking the time to watch. We really appreciate it. Hope you’re staying safe while all is a little crazy in the world right now. Thanks again and hang in there. xx

Thanks for a gorgeous chat Gabriela!

@paulablu22 Thanks so much!

@PJMadam I LOVED the show!!!

@jbizelle @JayStovee Not true. Of all the comments I get, this is the sick minority. I ate their food for a month. How would you react eating rat etc the FIRST time? They were NOT offended. Pls stop speaking on behalf of tribes u’ve never met & don’t know, (that’s white privilege at its best).

@JayStovee What, you mean to FAKE my involvement & reaction in their rituals? Sorry, like I said, I’m not racist & honour all the people we lived with. I chose to show the truth which they RESPECTED & EXPECTED of me. See what you want to see.

@JayStovee And sorry u’re so offended. But not one person we filmed / lived with ever was, given we had so many translators & interpreters with us. So whose “offence” is more important here: Yours? Or the tribes? I know who I believe. Have you met them? So don’t rob them of their AGENCY.

@JayStovee Not too hard at all. But we are forever saddened at how quickly people judge without ANY knowledge / facts / truth / or Ed before them. And negative attitude? For a whole 2 years? You know these things are edited, right?

@JayStovee So then stick to not saying it. It’s a flawed argument when there’s REAL racism and xenophobia in the world and people battle it, along with REAL prejudices, everyday. Not from something you watch and have no idea about.

@JayStovee Couldn’t care less if you don’t like the show - but don’t call me racist or xenophobic when you know nothing about me / the tribe / how we film / our relationship with them / how they knew everything we said at all times.

@JayStovee Thanks for ur @. I’m not white and never have been. I called myself “white” as that’s what the TRIBE CALLED ME making no distinction with anyone from the WEST. Out of respect, I used THEIR definition. Hard to live with tribes for so long & make a show when offending them?
