The film is Parker's first feature, and second overall, since the 2016 release of the actor's debut film, , which was overshadowed by resurfaced rape claims against the actor-director., about the Nat Turner slave uprising, was a splashy, record $17 million acquisition for Fox Searchlight out of the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience award and Grand Jury Prize.
But the film’s release later that year was tainted by the resurfacing of a 1999 incident when Parker was a sophomore at Penn State University. A woman had accused Parker and his roommate Jean McGianni Celestin, who shared a story credit onParker, who admitted he had consensual sex with the woman the night before, was acquitted of all four counts brought against him. Celestin's conviction was later overturned on appeal.
According to a briefing filed by the accuser’s attorneys, “Parker and Celestin began an organized campaign to harass Jane Doe and make her fear for her safety.” The briefing alleged that Parker followed her around campus and at her dormitory and “hurled sexual epithets” at her as well as made harassing phone calls to her room. She attempted suicide two times in 1999 and later withdrew from attending classes.
