Aaliyah Movie Lifetime Cast: Timbaland Talks Making Another Biopic, Says Wendy Williams Showed 'Mockery' [VIDEO]
Timbaland is still speaking out about the controversial Lifetime biopic Aaliyah: Princess Of R&B and revealed that Aaliyah's story could be told again but will still address rumors, such as her much talked about relationship with R. Kelly.
Timbaland Slams Lifetime For Portraying Aaliyah's Marriage With R. Kelly 'You Just Don't Show That'
"We gotta tell the truth," the mega producer told HOT 97. "That's like my sister. So I'm gonna be honest with you. That's really nothing, compared to what we know and the family. I was really close with her family."
During the interview he also called out Wendy Williams for showing a "mockery" of what is supposed to be the late singer's life story.
Timbaland, who was behind several of Aaliyah's hits admitted that he did not know the full story of how Williams was involved with the film or to what extent. So he wanted to get all of the facts before dissing and slamming her.
"Everybody keeps telling me to stop blaming Lifetime, but blame Wendy. I don't wanna just diss this lady like that. I wanna know full details before I really, really go in. Only thing I know that I can go in is, you're showing a mockery on TV. That's what really bothered me."
While he said he was reluctant to just "go in" and diss the talk show host, he said that his fans made it clear that Williams to blame for the movie not being "done right."
Timbaland is the first of Aaliyah's camp, including her family and his partner in crime, producer and rapper Missy Elliott, to speak out publicly about the film. But he said that his views represent those who were close to Aaliyah as a whole.
