16 October 2023<\/time>\n<\/p>\nMichaela Coel has “so much PTSD” from her time at drama school.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Michaela Coel had a bad experience at drama school<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘I May Destroy You’ star has previously spoken out about the racism she experienced during her stint at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2009 so she is astonished that there is a page dedicated to her on the establishment’s website, highlighting her accomplishments as a graduate.<\/p>\n
\nShe told the Daily Telegraph newspaper about the webpage: \u201cWow. That\u2019s jokes. OK. That\u2019s interesting. I\u2019m not gonna lie to you, I\u2019ve got so much PTSD from my time in drama school I\u2019ve never looked back. I genuinely find that is a source of DON\u2019T GO BACK for me.”<\/p>\n
\nRecalling how former students used to return to teach classes when she was there, she added: \u201cI know other people go back to their schools and do things. That\u2019s how I know my experience in school was very different to other people, because I am not the one to walk through the doors again.<\/p>\n
\n“Anyone who went to that school? Meet me over here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBut Michaela suggested she doesn’t regret her time at the college because she is very happy with the person she is today.<\/p>\n
\nAsked if she wants Guildhall to remove her from their website, she replied: “It\u2019s very difficult, because when you put somebody\u2019s picture on the school\u2019s thing it makes people want to go there\u2026 and I don\u2019t really want to make people do anything or stop people [from] doing anything. <\/p>\n
\n“S***** as my time there was, I love the person I am today and I am a collection of every experience I\u2019ve had, both fortunate and unfortunate. So, do I regret going there? That\u2019s a complex question!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe 36-year-old star famously turned down $1 million from Netflix for ‘I May Destroy You’ because the streaming service wouldn’t give her a percentage of the copyright, and she’d advise aspiring filmmakers to follow their instincts in a similar way.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cI have this airy-fairy-woo belief that you\u2019ll be OK when you say no to the things that don\u2019t feel right, that don\u2019t align with your sense of integrity. Sometimes it can take years to work out. But if you follow your moral compass then you will get there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
