Adjoa Andoh, who plays the sharp-tongued yet kind-hearted Lady Danbury, recently revealed that the show’s efforts towards diversity haven’t translated into a comfortable working environment for Black actors.

Andoh Speaks Out: "I Want to Come to Work and Just Act"

In a candid interview, Andoh expressed her frustration with the lack of support and understanding she's experienced on set. While acknowledging that things are slowly improving industry-wide, she emphasized that the struggle for Black actors to feel seen and respected remains very real.

"I wish I could just come to work and do my job," she confessed, highlighting how the burden of addressing racial insensitivity often falls on the shoulders of those already marginalized.
