Author Adeyemi Severs Ties to *Children of Blood and Bone* Film Despite Creative Role

Novelist Tomi Adeyemi will skip both watching and promoting Paramount's January 2027 adaptation of her bestseller, even after co-writing its screenplay with director Gina Prince-Bythewood. On TikTok, Adeyemi cited behind-the-scenes conflict with lead actress Amandla Stenberg, saying she'd been "hurt and attacked." The move is stark: she retains creative ownership yet is entirely absent from studio promotion.
