Forgive her father for she has sinned.
Along with previous Destiny’s Youngster bandmates Beyoncé Knowles and Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams has sung about becoming a “Survivor,” but in “Wrath: A 7 Deadly Sins Story” the 42-12 months-old will have to struggle to survive when a jilted ex-lover is out for her blood.
In the Life time movie from govt producers T.D. Jakes, Derrick Williams and Shaun Robinson, Williams stars as one attorney Chastity Jeffries centered on her vocation and turning into companion in her regulation firm right up until she fulfills anyone who, at initially, appears to be like the fantastic male.
Xavier Collins, performed by 44-12 months-aged Canadian actor Antonio Cupo, is handsome, pretty and hard to resist. Following a brief seduction and a steamy shower scene, Chastity is hooked. But what starts off as a passionate spark turns into a unsafe blaze.

The Submit caught up with the singer and actress about her latest film, which debuts Saturday, April 16 at 8 p.m. EST, functioning alongside Mama Knowles and the attainable long-awaited reunion of Destiny’s Child.
Your character is a skilled lady who’s extremely effective and concentrated on her job. Did you relate to Chastity and observe any parallels concerning your lifetime and hers?
Definitely. I’m officially one. I found myself resonating with her in a whole lot of methods. You hit the nail on the head about looking for appreciate [and] wanting enjoy. Probably you do not make the suitable choices in really like, but you are generating the appropriate career moves. And how numerous gals can possibly relate. You’re killing it in job, but the love point ain’t pretty balancing out.
What was your working experience working with Tina Knowles, who performs your mom, Sarah, in the film?
It was attractive to get the job done with Skip Tina mainly because she’s been like a mom, a nurturer and a protector of me for 22 several years. And so when we received on set, we just appeared each other in the eye, and it was just form of purely natural for us to do what we do. I indicate, there were moments in my life wherever Pass up Tina has had to console me like a mother would. She’s experienced to give me advice like a mother would. So essentially, when they stated her title, when I received the mobile phone get in touch with about accomplishing the movie, she’s the reason why I mentioned sure. We understood with the mention of every other’s names that this is likely to be good to do.
Did you speak with Beyoncé whilst filming with her mom Tina?
Myself, Beyoncé and Kelly have our group chats and I was texting the ladies like, “Yo, mother is killing it!” So it was just genuinely a joy to nevertheless have a sisterhood [and] marriage all of these years.
The chemistry between you, Kelly and Beyoncé is undeniable. Why do you feel the chemistry and sisterhood has survived for so many years immediately after Destiny’s Boy or girl finished?
I would say legitimate appreciate. All those are my soulmates to the position exactly where, you know, I saw Beyoncé the other working day and I walked in and we have on the exact same sneakers, the exact same jeans, the exact coloured top. And a good friend of hers was like, “Are y’all about to go accomplish or do a little something?” It transpires all the time. Go back again to her “Lion King” premiere a pair of many years in the past. We did not system to be form of dressed in the exact same color techniques, it’s just that we are permanently connected.
Is there a possibility that Destiny’s Kid will reunite?
I speculate if it is on our brain, but it never arrives out of our mouths. As the natural way as we chat about so numerous other issues, when the time is correct, it will in a natural way occur up in conversation in some way. We have exciting collectively when we do make your mind up to perform with every single other in that ability. I never think either of us is opposed to it. It is just, what is the ideal possibility? But I will say we haven’t had an formal album out with each other in 17 a long time and for the thoughts to be asked now is really variety of awesome. It can make me reflective of the noticeable effects that we must have been built on the earth.
Your character Chastity is a fighter. Did you study karate for the movie and have you at any time had to kick some butt in true everyday living?
Listen, I undoubtedly had to learn some karate. There ended up unquestionably pros all-around us to make absolutely sure that we could do what we required to do. I’ve only been in just one combat in my existence. I mean apart from the occasional spats that I have had with my blood sister — not me and Kelly, my singing sisters have had no fights, ever. But I remember escalating up I was at Family vacation Bible School fighting. What type of heathens were being we to be preventing at church? Which is the only battle I’ve at any time been in. But I continue to be out of difficulty, if not there is protection that’s paid out to do what they bought to do. But thank God, even safety has under no circumstances experienced to rough no person up.
At the conclusion of “Wrath” Chastity claims “only 6 extra deadly sins to conquer.” What deadly sin does Michelle Williams even now will need to conquer?
I would say delight, mainly because pleasure seeps in when you minimum expect it. Pride is outside of, “Oh, I’m proud of myself.” Pride is even how you say some thing. What seat are you sitting in when you say one thing? Are you expressing it to glimpse down on anyone due to the fact you have a lot more encounter and you think your way is greater? I essentially uncovered myself apologizing to somebody some months back declaring, “I’m so sorry. I imagine I allow some pride slip in the cracks.” And I imagine as I get more mature, I’m able to acknowledge and apologize a lot quicker for particular matters or how you say some thing is not what you say. Sometimes it is just how you say it or the seat in which you say it from. Delight definitely is the beginning. It arrives ahead of the tumble, so I actually, definitely have to examine delight.
Speaking of falls, a person of the most notorious moments in your profession was when you tripped in the course of a “106 and Park” functionality. Did you expect that second to grow to be these a impressive meme/GIF of female empowerment and perseverance?
That was 18 many years ago. You drop and you get again up. No a person is perfect. You’re heading to have some slip ups. Some slip down but make it synonymous with the occasions you may possibly have unsuccessful in a romantic relationship, you unsuccessful in a occupation, you failed in an possibility, but you found a way to master from it and you produced some corrections and you bought again up and you killed it.
Your co-star in the film is rapper Romeo. Did you know Romeo in advance of this movie and how was it functioning with him?
It was amazing to get the job done with Romeo. He’s not Lil’ Romeo no far more. [laughs]. So I had to certainly get that out of my head. He’s developed. He’s above 18. He was a jewel to get the job done with. He’s so stable in who he is and even in his religion. So it built it so much exciting for us to function alongside one another.
What is the lesson that you think audiences can acquire absent from “Wrath”?
Pay out awareness and be reflective. Hear to your intestine, whether you get in touch with it spirit or instinct. How many crimson flags presented them selves in that marriage, but Chastity was likely blinded by love or his man sections. How several of us have been blinded simply because of that and how those purple flags commence looking like Six Flags when you’re lusting! Alright! Or you ignore the crimson flags due to the fact you come to feel like that’s not who they are since they had been just obtaining a lousy day, but no, this is a pattern. This is the main of who they are and get out if you can. But my heart goes out to so lots of men and women who did not make it out due to the fact of really like or what they assumed to be appreciate.
Are there far more acting tasks in your long term?
I would love to. I’m a Broadway girl but film and television, I would enjoy to do far more.
