Jaleel White reveals many regrets on cross-dressing
Hollywood emasculates actors.

HOLLYWOOD — If you’re a male thespian in pursuit of a prolonged métier in Hollywood, all you have to do is… wear a dress. Spill Today released the documentary of actor Jaleel White who was basically blacklisted because he stopped dressing like a bitch. Jaleel was the main protagonist in the popular 90s sitcom “Family Matters.” He played nerdy Steve Urkel — the blundering, yet ingenious scientist who generated laughs with his signature suspenders, oversized glasses, snort-enhanced chortle and high-pitched, nasally voice. His catchphrase was, “Did I do that?” Steve was also in love with his prepossessing neighbor, Laura Winslow. All hell broke loose when ABC producers coerced Jaleel to play Steve’s female cousin, Myrtle Urkel — the rich Southern belle from Biloxi, Mississippi. It’s a dramatis personae Jaleel despised from the get-go.
So did his family.
“At the end of that first episode playing Myrtle, I went into my dressing room and I cried,” Jaleel recounted.
“And then the producers came to check on me and my dad told them that I would never do that character again.”
To compound matters, Reginald VelJohnson (Carl Winslow) and Jo Marie Payton (Harriette Winslow) treated Jaleel like sh*t.
They were jealous of the fandom that encircled Urkel’s characters.
Jaleel ain’t the only emasculated dude to don a frock on-screen. Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Kenan Thompson, Tyler Perry, Brandon T. Jackson, Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are among the many comedians who got their big break after cross-dressing. Social media reaction was wild. One commenter wrote, “The Illuminati put white actors and comedians in dresses too. Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Patrick Swayze, Rodney Dangerfield, and Jared Leto… just to name a few.” Another viewer added, “In Hollywood, before they make you, they break you. It’s all about control.”
Keep in mind, in the bible, Deuteronomy 22:5 says, “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all who do so are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.”
Damn, hope wearing a dress was worth it.
Watch the explosive documentary.

ITS A DAMN SHAME THESE BLACK ACTORS WONT STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES AND TELL THESE WICKED HOLLYWOOD EXECS FOH WITH THAT B.S THEY DONT DO WHITE ACTORS LIKE THAT…
The show was failing and destined to be cancelled until Jaleel’s one-off appearance as Urkel. The Urkel character becoming not only permanent, but a primary focus, saved the show. There’s plenty of documented interviews and writings about the other cast member’s jealousy. They considered themselves the stars. Well, they were. They were the stars of a failing show that would have never been renewed. It took a real star coming on board, one that committed himself to his performances at that level, to save the whole ship from sinking.
Well, Reggie and Jo Marie were not wrong. They just wanted him to be respected and not let people make a fool out of him.
I wish there were more Dads like Jaleel’s Dad.. A Dads Love and support means the world to a kid.
They had a right to speak out against him wearing a dress on the set. Look how far morals have fallen on tv now. His father was only trying to make money off of his son’s talent. It probably didn’t matter if he played a relationship gay scene as a young boy that age as long as he was reaping the benefit of it. Did you hear him say that he felt like a girl in that episode? There are spirits that come along with cross dressing. If they didn’t speak out against it, Hollywood would have exploited him and turned him out by now, with them and his father benefiting from it. We see what’s happening to our youth being turned out today. Money isn’t everything.
Myrtle Urkel was my FAVORITE!! MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE.
This dude treated everyone on set like a piece of shit. Multiple accounts… well documented. He got paid for the shit he is complaining about. His agent agreed to it. Cry me a fucking river.
