I am soooooooo glad she continues to discuss this. We can tell this is serious and not for likes. This woman is over it. Monique tried to warn us. Hopefully this time something will change. Let’s not forget earlier this year the actors came together and protested. Wish her well.
And Monique is an excellent actress as well she’s comedic actress. She played in fat girls which brought light to how women feel when their body shamed for being overweight but other cultures see women who are categorized as overweight in America, but in their culture and country it’s considered abundance and prosperity and that your wealthy and your curvaceous Also white women in acting seem to get whatever they want and free products and cars and we need to support black Hispanic Asian other ethnic ethnic women in acting
This is exactly what Monique was saying for years
But Monique didn't deserve white she was asking for sorry.
@@malehlohonolo8463 shut up
Im sure this is how all school teachers feel.
This is just too much
What baby sitters ??
And she’s an excellent actress gives 100% for each role
I’m glad she’s speaking‼️
I feel you girl. As a woman, I was working ten times harder than the men, have very good qualifications, impressive resume, and the go to person to save everybody's a** in crisis yet I was getting way less. The promotions were given to work shy and less competent people who more than once stole my ideas and present them as their own. I walked away from the cesspool.
I hope you are doing better now.
Sorry about the experience you had
I feel her. She came to Hollywood desiring to be and also thinking she was going to be a difference maker for other women coming behind her and they all just continue to face the same battles.
This is what people were complaining about during the strike. It’s so much bigger than just a wage gap. There needs to be a fundamental shift in the way we respect and care for artists and storytellers no matter the medium. Why are random business executives at these studios who have no creative input whatsoever making billions of dollars of off the creativity and emotional labor of other people who don’t get paid adequately for the projects that fund the entire industry? The world watches these movies and shows because of the artistry: the acting, the writing, the stories. No one watches a movie because they just love the CEO of that studio so much 😑 it’s so backwards it’s insane!
PREACH!!!!!
Monique said this!
She is an Oscar nominated actress among other talented black actresses like Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Regina King, Halle Berry, Mo'Nique, Queen Latifah, Angela Bassett, etc. Wonder how much they all make.
None of that matters in accordance with pay. The bulk of what determines pay is your loyal fan base and it's size. All the actresses you mentioned can only produce Tyler Perry figures by themselves, at best. Which is about $40 million gross. In order for a film to reach profitablity they need low budget. They can't pay some of these great actresses $10-$20 million if the film can barely make $30-$40 million. Unfortunately the film industry isn't a place that's going to be fair because the people that look like you are the ones that are your customers. Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, and Angelina Jolie have a marketable customer base of 117 million white females. On the other hand black actresses have a marketable customer base of 20 million black females. White male actors have the white male and female audience and if they are an action star they have a universal audience like Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio etc. Black Male actors have both black male and female audience and if they obtain popularity they can reach a universal audience like Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy etc.
Monique warned people of this. Such a sad story 😮
Her feeling this way in this moment means Oprah is not paying them well for this show they have been promoting all around the world. Prior to that was Lee Daniels with Empire. Seems like these xl rich producers are not paying equal pay. She has done several Tyler Perry movies also!!💯💯
Oops!
Hollywood is so sinister, I would not want to be an actor in Hollywood at all.
Taraji is always getting emotional but I feel u taraji she the best actress ever keep going strong taraji u got this we all love u we're so proud of u taraji u got this girl luv u girl I'm proud of u❤❤❤❤ we all are the same bravo taraji luv u so much your speaking ur truth girl keep going strong keep going no matter what can't wait to see u in the color purple this Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
No shes not
She’s A OG in this business they gotta give this women her green flowers
Talent
The slavery machine...it's in corporate, nonprofit, and every sector, except building that magic yourself!
I'm happy she took this moment to express this truth. While marketing this movie, yes, make the truth know.
It's true that she gets paid less but there's no conspiracy against her. Black female actresses have a smaller target market to satisfy. As a result they can't help but get paid less. She looks at her peers but her peers have larger fan bases and box office success consistency to demand a fee.
@@seedking40
I don't think those who get paid big money in Hollywood it is because of their large fan base or box office pull. Many of these stars' movies have tanked at the box office. Hollywood just doesn't want to pay, the people at the top who control the companies and studios they want to keep the money/power at the top. Hollywood no longer invests in the actors, they invest in the movies.
OMG! WE LOVE YOU TARAJI❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏Stay 💪 ❤❤❤
Cookie would have clocked Oprah for that
Why are people fascinated about going to America when we have seen that mayh aint mathing over there.
This happens to so many black women in Hollywood it's sad
This is so unfair! Enough with this nonsense. Just give people what they deserve. We are all the same!
Life isn’t fair get over it
She is one of my favorite actors since Benjamin Button. I feel her frustration. Being paid less than 10% of what other get, all the while being expected to deliver 300% and that's not an exaggeration. Also expected to do things for free that others don't have to and not a single cent added. She is going to make her own business and be successful. She remains one of my favorite actors. Cookie!!!!!!!
As a celebrity doeishe have an agent, manager, PR team negotiating on her behalf? Maybe she should hire new folks who can get her what she deserves
If Henson and others believe they’re underpaid, they need to make apples-to-apples comparisons to illustrate their points. In other words, what do other black actresses get paid whose movies have generated comparable box office receipts and whose TV shows have garnered similar ratings vs. the salaries of white actresses who look about the same on paper?
Also, if studio execs and producers really want you for a role and they can afford to meet your desired pay, they’ll do what they can to hire you. You have to negotiate, and if you can’t come to an agreement, you must move on.
I find it hard to believe that someone as popular as Henson still lacks opportunities to the point where she has to settle for insufficient pay.
Several black women have become prominent in film and TV such as Oprah Winfrey, Queen Latifah, Ava DuVernay, Viola Davis, Regina King, Sanaa Lathan, Issa Rae, Lena Waithe, Quinta Brunson - and the list goes on - by *_creating_* lucrative vehicles. Henson and others of her stature should be able to make the math start mathing to their benefit if so many others can.
Ownership is key to making that happen. It not at all empowering to wait for an outpouring of generosity from Hollywood bigwigs whose _own_ bottom lines are ultimately their top priorities.
I feel underpaid at my job too so, welcome to the club girly
😂😂true
Were you nominated for an Oscar? See mfs be running they mouth before thinking
Taraji P. Henson, she’s one of my favorite actresses and she’s so funny, sweet and kind and very talented too!!! ❤😊😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊❤️ 😍 🤩
Keke ain't dum..
She feels alone..she don't even have a love of her own..
Life must be so hard as a multimillionaire (networth 12Mio$) that you dont have 30 mio in the bank.
Humbly as I speak truth to you all even if it cost my life.
"We the righteous are counted as slaughter of sheep all day long" not only we live Holy, but as we spread the Gospel and even as we speak truth in the Holy Ghost-ROMANS 9:1.
God Bless
Well, I have checked Taraji's social media accounts: 21 MILLION Instagram fans, 5 MILLION Twitter fans and 11 MILLION Facebook fans. That's 37 MILLION fans... but's let's round it back to 35 MILLION. Now, if she leveraged that incredible social media group and pitched a movie project to them through crowdfunding that she would star in and produce with lots of other great Black actresses and actors, she could raise millions.
LEVERAGE YOUR TALENT AND SOCIAL MEDIA FANBASE!
If she asked her fans to donate a minimum of $10 towards the production in exchange for a digital copy of the film, she could raise $350,000,000!!! That's a bigger budget than Fast and Furious 10 or Avengers: Infinity War or Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End or Justice League or Star Wars: The Last Jedi or Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness or Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny or Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One!
I’ve seen you post this comment on a few clips. I hope Taraji sees it because it’s a great idea. Seems like you’d be a better manager than whoever is managing her now.
How about working for Mac Donalds
She looks like she could be Quinta's mother
ALTHOUGH MY HEART GOES OUT TO TARAJI & OTHERS I WON’T OVERLY APPLAUD A FISH FOR SWIMMING. GIVING THAT SHE'S ONLY REGURGITATING EVERYTHING MONIQUE INITIALLY SAID YEARS AGO. AT WHICH I DONT RECALL HER PUBLICLY SHOWING ANY SUPPORT TO MONIQUE. OH AND THE PLOT
THICKENS AS YOU GO WORK WITH THE VERY PERSON WHO HAD A HAND IN UNDERPAYING AND MISHANDLING MONIQUE….🤔
🎻🎻🎻
Makes me not want to see the movie. Come on Oprah if anyone knows the struggle of the black woman it’s you. Pay these professionals what they’re worth!
Everybody was quiet and clowning when Monique was speaking up
Seems like there is some merit to what Monique has been saying
Remember Monique has been labeled difficult and has been blackballed. Once that happens Hollywood closes the door. She had the guts to speak against Oprah so mainstream will not hear her.
Now, Monique can be vulgar, outrageous and over the top. Some of the way she expresses herself might be a turn off so that doesn’t help, however it doesn’t mean she wasn’t speaking facts.
This woman needs counseling...I feel sad for her.... she's sick right now..
lol
Ok the math ain’t mathing. Do we ever hear Denzel, Washington or Oprah or Tyler Perry using the trendy iterminology? At the end of the day taraji is just a shanay nay Playing shanay nay roles. Will never be taken seriously. Ps. What is it that she want to buy so bad that her income is not pleasing… just greedy. I wonder how many times she practiced those crocodile tears in the mirror.. 😮
The reason the response to what Taraji said differs from when Monique said it is very simple. Monique is perceived to be a strong woman and able to handle the pay inequality. Taraji was emotional when she discussed it thus giving the perception that she is a victim. People rally around who they perceive to be weaker. Things will only change for black actors when the perception around their value changes. And in order for that to change, the actors themselves have to stop getting their validation from who pays them and what and start getting validation from within. When they begin to value themselves they will refuse to entertain lowball offers requiring those who offer them jobs to pay them what they are worth.🦋
Nobody will pay them their worth and that's why they take the low-ball offers after being on the bench too long and their team needs paying and the bills are piling up. Why are the British faking American accents getting these high paying roles? Taraji can't fake a British accent, she has to be employed here in American Hollywood.
I definitely feel her take it to TMH
I don't get it. Is she talking about the industry? Is she talking about her salary in respect to other women? Because all the people close to Harvey Weinstein seems fine even today. Look at Meryl Streep, Oprah, W. Paltrow, Jennifer Lawrence, even now they keep winning A LOT. God knows there are many types of unjustice in that industry.
This is Oprah's fault😮
She's crying because she doesn't have hundreds of millions only tens of millions
I was working at a place that was paying me $17 while everyone else was getting $40. I was covering. They kept insisting that a full time position would open ii gave them 5 months and left. That was 4 months 3 weeks too long. 😅. So I get it.
😮 packing on the POUNDS, OMG!!!
So heartbreaking 😢
Seems like she is upset with everyone but uncle sam.
Shocking but not surprising. Lets start with her role in Benjamin button? Then hidden figures. Her role as Cookie in Empire shes done countless roles. So sad to see her breakdown always keeling it real that was heart-felt. Not sure what Keke was on about sounds like she went all round the houses in a careful diplomatic way. Therein lied the problem Keke. Speak the direct truth and support so your life will be better yiur the next Gen. Is this whar you want? To be under paid and devalued???
Monique was right
I feel for her bc wealth is relative but it's hard to relate to someone crying about receiving 'only' $500,000 for work that's not backbreaking.
Majority of that isn’t going to her u dummy, did u not watch the video? She gets only 20%
@@christenx If she’s only getting 20% of $500K she needs to find a better CPA/Accountant…Dummy.
The problem maybe that her staff are her pretend family or friends.
Check the reports of the other black actresses in Hollywood. This is a fact. Halle Berry, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer (these are ocsar winners), Heck Cissily Tyson (old school). It’s her truth, and a truth.
She gets paid 500K a week & trying to compare herself to the lower class😂 as someone who lives in Canyon Dr and is very familiar with the Hollywood Lifestyle, I konw exactly what she's doing. she's an actress y'all, her PR team told her to do this to seem like she's 'just like you' please don't fall for this higher class community (especially billionaires regardless of gender) They do this all the time
Yeah and her networth is 12 million so I get it, she has to pay her people but I am sure she's actually doing fine?
I don't think she ever compared herself to the "lower class" what are you even talking about
If you come for Oprah, you are coming for me and I will react accordingly. Taraji has publicly addressed her concerns about her pay for her work on "The Color Purple" rather than handling this privately with agents and legal representation, I have decided not to support her in any future projects she is involved in. Unlike any other celebrity, Oprah has made significant contributions to the black community. There isn't a Black person on planet Earth who has single-handedly educated more Black men through college scholarships. On the other hand, I question what philanthropy Taraji has done for our community. I will wait….
THIS WAS WHAT MINIQUE WAS TALKING ABOUT BUT EVERYONE KEPT QUIET AND MOCKED HER. SHORT WHILE LATER, NOW ALL OF U ARE CRYING
