Gabrielle Union has regrets about how she approached her famous role in the 2000 cult classic “Bring It On.”The actor told People on Thursday that she “put a muzzle” on her character, Isis, who led the cheerleading squad for the fictional East Compton High School. The rivalry between the two schools also served as a commentary on race and cultural appropriation since East Compton was depicted as being a predominately Black school and Rancho Carne overwhelmingly white. She later regretted her approach “to offer grace.”“I thought that was being the bigger person,” Union told People. “But I didn’t give her a full voice.”Union told People that she feels accountable for letting herself, the audience and her character down. The actor and her retired NBA star husband, Dwyane Wade, later welcomed a baby girl, Kaavia James, in November 2018 via surrogacy.
