Its unclear who runs the late singers Twitter account.
Overfield did not return requests for comment.
But most of the criticism is misdirected, Simones daughter told TIME in a rare interview Thursday.
Nina focuses on Simones personal relationship with her manager Clifton Henderson, played by David Oyelowo.
The cinematic version of the story falsely depicts the iconic singer, her family said.
The movie is about a relationship between my mother and Clifton which never took place.
They never had an amorous relationship, Simone Kelly said, adding that Henderson was a gay man.
The project has been tainted from the very beginning.
Clearly, it is not the truth about my mothers life and everyone now knows that.
This is not how you want your loved ones remembered.
I really didnt feel much of anything except for poor Zoe, she said.
Were both very passionate about her legacy being told the right way.
What she actually accomplished is not common, and most people dont know that.
Zoe Saldana delivers an exceptional and mesmerizing tribute to Nina Simone.
And Nina, in my opinion, doesnt do any of that.
I dont have to justify, define or educate anybody about my mother anymore.
Its a wonderful feeling.
Im free in a way that I have never been before.
