“Flashback to 2017. My 4th job as an actor, my first recurring guest star, and my first time having a stunt double— and they painted her black,” the Stargirl star, who is Black, wrote on Instagram. The 22-year-old actress went on to share how “uncomfortable” she felt when seeing her stunt double. But when she asked a producer why a Black woman wasn’t cast instead, the producer allegedly told her “we couldn’t find a black stunt double in LA” and told Washington to “be thankful to be here.” Washington did not name the show.
