The statement comes after Bassett spoke about her reasoning for not casting Bobbi Kristina in the upcoming film.
"I did not think about casting her. And probably for a number of reasons, you know. One being that she's not an actress," Bassett said of Bobbi Kristina. "I know she's acted here and there. I know she's been on their family's reality show, but she's not an actress and acting is a craft."
The actress and director went on to reveal why a strict shooting schedule led to her casting an experienced actress.
"It's an attempt to illuminate the complexities of human behavior and life. And this is a very fast-paced schedule; we have just 21 days to tell this story," Bassett explained. "It's more than just saying lines and turning the light on. You have to drive the story— there's a technical aspect."
