"Cancelling my Netflix subscription": Addison Rae signs a multi-movie deal with Netflix and the internet isn't too happy

TikToker-turned-movie star Addison Rae has signed a multi-movie deal with Netflix after her debut film He’s All That, the gender-swap remake of 90s movie She’s All That hit the streaming platform. Though the multi-picture deal stands as an achievement for the actress, fans are displeased and claim that she is not talented enough.

As part of the deal, the streaming platform will also allow the 20-year-old to stand as executive producer as Netflix continues to create films specifically for Rae.

Internet disappointed with Netflix after deal with Addison Rae is announced

The streaming platform may be taking an impulsive decision following the early success of He’s All That. Netflix projected that the film will be watched by more than 55 million platform users in the first month of the movie’s release. The company also asserted that the film had reached #1 on the company’s chart in 78 countries including “Brazil, France and Saudi Arabia.”

The internet seemed weary of Netflix’s partnership with Addison Rae as the movie received mixed ratings which were either tremendously positive or rightfully dismissive. Though the movie received such diverse ratings, the director of the film Naketha Mattocks believes that Rae is a promising actor. While speaking of her talent, he said:

The youngster, who is also a singer, released her first single Obsessed in March, co-founded own makeup line Item Beauty, and has also released a Spotify podcast show with her mother Sheri Easterling.
