Lee Daniels says he doesn't have time to get caught up in the back-and-forth between one of the executive producers of his new film "Precious," in theaters Friday, and his personal mentor, Spike Lee.
Lee has made it known that he likens Perry's work unto minstrel shows, and Perry responded in a "60 Minutes" interview last week, saying he was "insulted" and "pissed off" over Spike's comments.
Daniels says he is close to both filmmakers and has no intention of taking sides.
