The Lena Waithe-created Showtime series built a fake corner store in a Chicago neighborhood located in a “food desert” where grocery stores are badly needed. When filming recently finished, the show reportedly left behind a mess of paint chips on the sidewalk and a dumpster full of food that neighborhood residents quickly dived into. Representatives of The Chi have yet to respond to the accusations.
