A reliable source notified PageSix in the US:
“Thandiwe had been acting strange on set, she has been very highly strung.”
They added that her behaviour
“caused so much disruption, it became clear she couldn’t play the role. There is a lot going on in her personal life.”
“She and her husband have separated. She seemed so stressed, she even brought her two pet rabbits to her hotel for emotional support.
“She fired her UK agent of three decades, and then her US agent Gaby Morgerman flew in from Los Angeles to try to calm things down.”
Ol Parker, is popularly recognized for directing 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and Thandiwe Newton got married in 1998.
