During a recent interview with Vogue. they caught up with Gabrielle and together, talked about her Bring It On character.  She revealed, “I didn’t want to be saved and I didn’t want the Clovers to be indebted.  I wouldn’t have been okay with being saved by anyone else. That’s me in real life and that’s me in Bring It On.”

Gabrielle continues, “I really wanted to be in this other cheerleading movie called Sugar & Spice about bank-robbing cheerleaders, but they didn’t wanna go Black on any of the lead roles. I was coming off of 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s All That, and Love & Basketball back-to-back, so I was looking for my next gig when this came up. It was called Cheer Fever, and they wanted me for the table read. The script was a little cringe-y, so when they offered me the job, I said, “Can we make some changes?” And they were open.”
