Mark Burnett And Roma Downey Tell Oprah They Felt Hijacked By Satan-Obama Controversy

“We felt somehow hijacked,” by the comparison made of the similarity between the president and the actor who plays the devil, says Roma Downey.

The Bible producer Roma Downey felt her show was “hijacked” after a social-media firestorm ensued in March over the alleged physical similarity between President Obama and the actor who played Satan.

Downey added: “For Satan to be the point of conversation was really heartbreaking. … We love the president, we have nothing but respect for the president. We felt somehow hijacked.”Her husband and Bible co-producer, Mark Burnett, brushed off the controversy, saying, “If you’re gonna do what we do for a living, which is stick your neck out there … it’s a free country and you got to accept that.”

The conclusion of the miniseries, which aired on Easter Sunday, garnered 11.6 millionviewers.
