Bobbi Kristina Brown is all in her feelings after getting wind of an interview Angela Bassett had with Entertainment Weekly. In the interview, Bassett spoke about the direction the biopic was going in. Bassett touched on the fact that Houston's death and other negative aspects about her life would not be a part of the film. Bassett also mentioned her reasons for not casting Brown in the lead role.
"I did not think about casting her," Bassett, who is making her directorial debut with the Lifetime movie, told EW on June 26. "And probably for a number of reasons, you know.
"One being that she's not an actress," she continued. "I know she's acted here and there. I know she's been on their family's reality show, but she's not an actress, and acting is a craft."
Unfortunately, those comments were not music to Brown's ears. The R&B singer's daughter took to her Twitter account to put Bassett on blast.
Brown tweeted, and then deleted:
"Ha MsAng "bassketcase" has such a damn nerve my lord, at least the world doesn't mistake me for the wrong sex…she has some #XtraEquipment."
But she did make sure not to delete the following:

Shortly after Lifetime announced the biopic, America's Next Top Model contestant Yaya DaCosta was cast to play Houston in the biopic. DaCosta was previously seen on All My Children, Ugly Betty, The Butler and Tron: Legacy.
