      People didn't watch Benjamin Button because of Taraji. She was a supporting actress. Not a lead. If it was Angela Basset; she would get paid more. I think the problem is, is that she is more known for her tv film work. 'Hidden figures was a moderate hit. Dont believe the hype. The movie itself is giving me 'the Help' vibes and was full of inaccuracies. Hollywood is comfortable with black people in 'struggle' roles in movies about struggling with being black. I think Taraji is a victim of typecasting and your reputation(paygrade) is only as good as your last big performance.

      But isn't some of the "worth" based on the output of a product? If your product/movie is making X, then why would you be making what someone bringing in more is? It sucks, but if we take the emotion out of it, it's sort of logical.

These three women bring box office hits every time, so she has to show emotion for the blatant inequities.

Let’s be clear, unless Taraji wants her home to be foreclosed on and to be quote-on-quote “poor” yes she has to take some of the more B/C list movies/roles because newsflash she has to eat, and the A list roles aren’t especially knocking on the black woman’s door. Al be for real, no matter how the counterparts stop taking the lesser roles, face the facts they didn’t start out where an African American has started! And most times they have trust funds and whatnot to fall back on so that they can “hold out” until they land those A list roles- come down to reality Al!

    Hollywood pays u based on the audience u bring in. Denzel, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise can open a movie, meaning they can guarantee it a strong opening weekend therefore they get $30 mil per movie. Viola Davis is also getting millions because she turned a small movie, the Woman King, into a box office hit (over 100 million gross). If u can guarantee a tv audience, same thing, you’ll get paid. Love Tarji but she is not as popular and can’t guarantee the kind of audience Viola and a Meryl Streep can. This isn’t sexism nor racism, it’s capitalism period!

      Fact is he is out of touch. I like him, but let’s be real- his early lifestyle was mostly funded by his ex-wife. When he had to come out there’s no doubt that although he is working more, there is most likely a rich male who is helping to fund his lifestyle now. He’s out of touch because the fact is, IT DOESN’T affect him. And instead of him simply seeing something for what it is or bowing out because he’s truly out of touch, he gets on his high horse and proudly mishandle anyone who isn’t earning or being gifted 6-8 figure salaries.

How can they get paid their worth when the high grossing black buster films don’t deem them as an asset?! It’s all about what brings in those gross profits, we are the last too be seen and when we are heard, we don’t get the same support that black women in film should get. It’s a very cutthroat industry, and I sympathize at the exhaustion she most feel from fighting for her creative due rights all these years. She’s worth it, she acted better than many in Benjamin Button, Oscar nominated, but with a small supporting role that did not get the same credit. SMH
