Were you hoping for a Girlfriends Reunion … well keep hoping. Media Take Out learned that in a recent interview with Vibe magazine, Tracee said that there will likely never be a reunion.
And according to her, the problem is Girlfriends creator Mara Brock Akil and the producers.
Mara is an American screenwriter and television producer. She created the UPN sitcom television series Girlfriends (2000–2008) and its spin-off The Game (2006–2015). She later created Being Mary Jane (2013–2019), the first drama series for BET. In 2018, she produced the DC Arrowverse series Black Lightning for The CW and created the show Love Is for the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Tracee explained, “The cast has always wanted to do it, but I’ll be honest with you, the ship has sailed. I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. I think it would be a miracle.”
“We have a thread of me and the girls and we text all the time; we talk about it, but I think we’re all at different places in our lives and our careers now. I think there was a point 10 years ago and then when they [Girlfriends cast] came on Blackish — we were all game, but we couldn’t get the powers that be to get on board.”
“We’ve tried numerous times as a cast to make it happen, but unfortunately, we don’t own the rights to the show. We are not the producers. We are not Mara Brock Akil, CBS Paramount, or whoever the people are that own the show. Golden, Persia, Jill, Reggie, and I have been game; we’ve all talked about it — but I genuinely don’t think it’s ever going to happen at this point.”
“The truth is, I think we have been broken-hearted in the past, but now we are past being broken-hearted. We’re so happy that the audience still loves the show, and still wants it, but I don’t think it’s ever going to happen.”
