Tomi Adeyemi, author of “Children of Blood and Bone,” has opened up about her harrowing experience adapting her novel into a film, calling it “the worst thing I have ever had to live through.” Despite co-writing the screenplay, she says the production and marketing were hostile, leaving her with severe physical pain and panic attacks upon returning to America. She’s now speaking out after seeing the trailer and enduring behind-the-scenes turmoil, hoping to reveal the true cost of Hollywood’s treatment of creators. She also revealed a tense fallout with star Amandla Stenberg, sharing a screenshot of a message telling her not to contact her or use her name again — a rift fueled by fan backlash over Stenberg’s casting. Adeyemi says she doesn’t want to dwell on it, but felt compelled to share her truth. Paramount Pictures has been contacted for response.
