The truth and efforts toward a resolution resolve enter in “Royal Family Christmas,” where the children are now trying to rekindle their parent’s love for each other. Old wounds are opened, surprises and challenges make themselves known and there’s no telling how the Royal family can revive themselves and get to a genuine space of togetherness.
Vivica plays the envious sister to Morgan’s character, Alfreda. Tichina Arnold also stars, playing Alfreda’s former acquaintance who is involved with a deep, dark family secret .
“Royal Family Thanksgiving” will premiere on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m. ET on TV One, and “Royal Family Christmas” will premiere Saturday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. ET.
In related news, Vivica recently appeared on Access Hollywood Live to promote her new film “6 Ways To Die,” and she commented on the controversial remarks her former “Celebrity Apprentice” boss Donald Trump made about Mexicans while campaigning for president.
In July, Trump said the following about undocumented Mexican immigrants:
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
When asked if she could ever vote for Trump for President, Fox said, “No, absolutely not. He will not get my vote.”
“[Trump] as a presidential candidate has not went too well in my opinion,” she said. “He’s leading the Republican party as far as the percentage of votes… everyone’s talking about him. He’s getting folks out, but some of the statements he’s making are quite offensive.
To lump all Mexicans and call them rapists… it was just a bit much. We live in the United States of America. We have beautiful nationalities that are all doing well. I think he forgot about some of his Republican party members even having significant others that are Mexicans.”
