Tomi Adeyemi is an American writer and creative writing coach, known for Children of Blood and Bone. She now weighs in on film-set conditions for her novel’s adaptation and has faced public scrutiny amid a recent water‑cyber incident linked to Iranian cyber activity.
Tomi Adeyemi has shared on TikTok that filming for a Paramount adaptation of her novel was marked by severe distress. She says she left the set “hyperventilating and sobbing,” with witnesses present, and that she has faced ongoing antagonism behind the scenes. The author is not planning to discuss further details publicly.
Cyberattacks targeting water systems in multiple states have been linked by security researchers to Iran‑affiliated groups. Officials warn the threat is ongoing and could widen, with misleading claims about responsibility surfacing in political discourse.
