Can't support Oprah knowing how evil she really is remember LeBron has school does she nope
Do you actually research and seek truth when making a basis for hating someone you don't know
Oprah don't even care about you. Go use your time wisely on something more productive.
Taraji is sad rn and dealing with something much deeper than “Oprah” and the “color purple” keeping her in my prayers
You think so?
I agree, I'm looking at her eyes, she looks sad to me, they are not bright at all. Hollywood can be mean when you speak up. I hope she is ok. I know she went away for a while to Bali I think to clear her head etc. Maybe other stuff is going on.
You can tell with the energy. I've observed this a while ago and even before the Oprah thing. I just don't know what exactly. But something feels off...
@@AngelasTravelAdventures 🙄🤣🤣
It’s actually been going on for a while now
"It's like, whatever God has for you, you can't run from it" Amen and Amen. So powerful.
Amen. Love it.
Speak your "TRUTH" Taraji! 🔥💯❤️🙏🏾
She is so smart, wish her the best in roles and awards
TARAJI IS THE QUEEN......
I love this woman deeply
I enjoyed the interview. I love Taraji, she's absolutely phenomenal. This lady has nothing but talents. I saw the color purple and it was great. Love the whole cast.❤❤
The ending...She was a very powerful woman cause she saved herself❤👏🏾👏🏾
Love you Taraji you’re the best
No...her VA Gina stinks
@@Dr.Goldsmithweirdo
A class act. I am so happy to see this interview.
Oprah trynna save face. Go taraji ❤
I know thas right.
Love you Taraji ❤
I love some Taraji and Oprah! As black women, we got to stop tearing each other down.
Pay these women more money Oprah
EXACTLY!!
Listening to the interview about Shug, Avery Taraji expressed herself because that’s how I see her as an Overcomer you are a phenomenal black woman and never I mean never let no one take that away from you always put God first
Taraji P,Viola Davis,Monique,Gabriel union ext All deserve their money worth.
So cool! Feeling ready is really important, 😊
so much wisdom in such a short clip! wow!
I remember being touched as a child by the first movie, so I knew I had to see this one.
I watched the movie last week and was in awe of all the tremendous talent!
Outstanding job by everyone! ❤
I remember watching Oprah's very first show and I was so impressed as a kid that over the years I overlooked all the "other" stuff. Taraji looks sad and I feel for her. Oprah WAS a great one but now, I really don't know...
People change overtime
Oh, stop! You’re another bandwagon rider. What has Oprah done????? You are just listening to mess and believing it. Sadly, the mess comes from envious black women. Sad.
Huh.. Taraji is a grown woman.. I just replied to another comment and ask, that’s the first thing that come to your mind after watching this? Like seriously?
@@SB-jt1ur yeah seriously! That woman could do no wrong on my eyes since the beginning of time and as as long as I can remember! However, she’s a real disappointment these days and it’s sad.
@@se_me1756 that’s just it, a mess! Since when did Oprah get so messy?
This is damage control for Oprah. Doesn’t even seem authentic. It’s awkward. Team Taraji
DAMAGE CONTROL 😅 AT ITS FINEST !!!
I commented the same thing before I saw yours. Smh 🙄
I left the business after the 2000s and definitely know this is a stunt to change the public perspective 💯 Oprah like to bamboozle the public.....
This was before the comment. 👩
Brilliant my favorite😍😍
Proud Mary!!! I'm from Boston; that movie holds a special place in my heart. I hope nah I pray our sisters get paid like the champions they are. U.S. Womens Soccer team... I'm just saying
$500,000 isn’t chump change. That’s how much Taraji received for The Color Purple.
☝🏽👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
Nay sayers don’t know how generous, kind and leveled-headed Oprah is. ☝🏽👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
@@thinktank4768 They deserve more, I said what I said and did not mention Oprah. This is beyond this movie.
@@Elligy617
Prior to this issue, I knew nothing about the acting industry, so I read that the median income for actors is (only) $55,000, and I understand that Taraji deserves a lot more pay than $150,000 a film, but Oprah had nothing to do with the budget for this film. Warner Bros did. 👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
@@Elligy617 Most people are underpaid and want a raise. Teachers are underpaid and want a raise. Taraji’s not alone. However, no one complained about their salary in The Color Purple except her. Oprah was only paid $35K when she was in the movie. Did she or Fantasia and complain? No! She and Oprah were grateful for the opportunity. Taraji’s public cry for a raise a week after the movie hit the screen damaged its sales. Prior to that they were winning. Let’s see how many Black or White producers will allow Taraji to damage their movie.
I agree these women should get pay more money
Great interview! 👏🏾👏🏾Love Oprah and Taraji! Intelligent, Beautiful, driven black women! 🤎🤎
I loved The Color Purple. I felt like I'd just enjoyed a Broadway Musical. The actresses and actors were phenomenal. I hate that people like Taraji feel they were undercompensatedTaraji is worth her weight in gold. I hate that she was paid $500,000 which reduces to $250,000 per the IRS; then she has to pay her team 30% of 500,000 which leaves her with $100,000... that sucks! She gave a million dollar performance. You go girl! Maybe next time she'll be paid her worth.
Hi Sabina,
I watched one of those gossip videos yesterday on CZcams, and the female voice said that Taraji received $500,000 for The Color Purple. Now, I know that those videos aren’t research based, but my college degrees are, so I searched and found that Taraji was offered $100,000 for her role in The Color Purple, and after negotiations, Taraji received $150,000. The Color Purple, so far, has generated $55 million. However, after Taraji complained about her salary, Oprah has been criticized for Taraji’s salary, and the movie has taken financial losses since Taraji spoke publicly. The movie is in the red now, not the black, as it began. Furthermore, Oprah has nothing to do with the salaries. ☝🏽👩🏽🦱
@@thinktank4768 That article was talking about her salary for Benjamin Button a movie she did in 2008. She said she asked for $500,00 for the role but was paid $150,00. Her salary for The Color Purple hasn't been disclosed.
@@annzeeg4217 Yes she disclosed it herself: 500,000 minus 250,000 to the IRS, then 30% of 500,000 to her team who helped her get the job totals 150,000 to them. Leaving her with $100,000 which is not enough to do much with and way below what she deserves. I didn't make up these figures. Taraji detailed them in her interview. I just did the math and it's not fair. Whoever is responsible for her low pay rate is also responsible for the movie not doing well at the box office. I'm not defending Oprah because I personally have had an encounter with Oprah and she was extremely rude to me. I did nothing to her. I was a guest on her show and she treated me with great indifference without cause. She is not the angel you think she is. She has clout and could have fought for the actors and actresses to get payment that was commensurate to their contributions to the success of the movie.
@@thinktank4768 Get more information before defending Oprah because she doesn't care.
@@sabrinahoward5263 You have no idea what Oprah cares about or doesn’t cares about. Stop being a gossip. Focus on your life.
Go taraji !! Speak your truth
Great movie they all should be nominated . Oprah is always positive light
I watched Proud Mary very good film.
We knew Taraji could sing we saw hustle and flow 😂
CLASSY. way to go Oprah!!!!! and thank u Taraji for using ur voice!
Love you Taraji! 💛💛

Interesting how the movie broke box office records week 1, but in week 2 it barely made 5mill & dropped to 7th place after all those vids from Taraji made the rounds. For a movie thet cost 90mil to make & another 40 mil to market, not good. Regardless of this interview or the damage control being done, Taraji's pain resonated with her fans & those box office numbers could be the result. Gotta take care of your people so their people take care of you cuz the public gets the last say at the theatre. 🤷♀️
Well the movie actually made 54 million dollars so far but cost over 100 mill. So hopefully the movie can re recuperate the budget back to the studios. Otherwise no one from the film won't be getting no Oscar nominations for the film.
In my opinion not to be mean or start drama, but the movie isn't doing well because of word of mouth. It was said that people were walking out when Celie and Shug kissed. Many people didn't read the book watch the original, or play so they didn't know, and the new version made people upset. I know a rapper who complained that he took his little girls and had to walk out because of the kissing scene. Honestly, who asked for a Color Purple remake?
The ignorance of black people ruined the movie. You have people like Boosie saying he walked out of the movie because of a lesbian kiss. People saying that musical sucks. People saying they do not like Oprah. People saying that there was no need to do a remake. Those are the things that interfered with the movie.
@@1_Bran_Bran The movie pandered to LGBTQIA and liberals, why would anyone of sound mind waste their money on a lesbian love story, black or not? Hollywood has decided to make black people the face of the LGBTQIA, it's weird, and we don't have to support that, and folks can't make us support it, and Boosie has every right to walk out the theatre. He wanted to take his black daughters to a movie, to see women that looked like them, not have them watch a lesbian story.
@@bohwe43 did you not read the book?
Love this! Oprahs hair is flawless 😍!
A very good interview
Ponder This: I love this...Do Not Let Them PIT us One against Another!!!

I love ❤️ Oprah always will she had been an amazing force for humanity ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💙. Love Taraj Henson she is one of the best actors .
Loving this❤
Loving what? Damage and blackballed control😂🙄🤷🏽♀️
Don't fall this stunt to make the public believe everything is well...... Oprah is trying to convince the public her relationship with Taraji is excellent 🧐 Taraji is not happy with the production team and studio 💯
Can't wait to se the Colors Purple 💜💜😊
❤❤❤
Love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥👸🏾💪🏾✊🏾🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾😇🙏🏾😇
Taraji is a treasure! Oprah you need to show you are real this time. I have so much respect or you but if you get her blackballed like Monique then now we will know who you are.
Monique wasn't blackball her husband keeps getting her fired
@@annzeeg4217 Unless her husband is Lee Daniels, who told her that, you're ignorant and sadly mistaken.
@@OneLoveRSRWell, Will Packer and Whoopi Goldberg told her that her husband was her problem. Look it up. Monique has basically been fired from everything she's done since he started managing her career. She was fired from a radio and a talk show before she even got to Precious. An Will Packer hired her after she claimed she was blackballed to do a three picture deal but ended it after he got tired of dealing with her husband. Read the email Monique released herself. He told her that someone at that level in her career should have better representation and said he would no longer communicate with her husband, only her attorney. Read the email. Y'all just go with Monique's version of things when you really need to read the fine print
@@annzeeg4217 Great! I'm addressing what was in your original statement. LEE DANIELS told her she was blackballed -- not her husband.
Ladies, I just luv black us, we are beautiful🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oprah explained that she is not the one dealing with the cast pay it's warner brothers she had to negotiate her pay as a producer.
That's B.S Oprah pulled strings to have Taraji cast but she can't pull strings to have a pay increase for her?
Oprah worth 4 billion dollars. I'm sure she could have paid her more out of pocket
@@SparkleInYourEyes2024 She actually did because of Oprah...The Color Purple is the highest budget black film in history! Warner Brothers wanted to give them $35million but because of Oprah they got $100million...
@@deoneken But was it worth it, right now ticket sales are down and if this movie flops who will invest in another black movie?
$500,000 isn’t chump change. That’s how much Taraji received for The Color Purple.
☝🏽👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
Nay sayers don’t know how generous, kind and leveled-headed Oprah is. ☝🏽👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
Their hair ilstyles are done so well & looks so aapropriate.
AGREE 100% that Taraji's hair style was well done...Oprah's not so much.
Taraji blink twice if you need help
🙌🏾💖💖💖💖👸🏾👸🏾💐💐💐💐
I’m happy that they made up I love them Miss Taraiji and Opah they are great actors and Human Beings so happy love you and GOD Bless you Guys Gloria velez
I never can stand Oprah now it makes sense as to now why I don't
Saving face?
QualityControl post, lol. 😏
This is ALMOST as good as trying to convince the population that it was the highest grossing xmas day release SINCE THE 50's!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't worry. 🤫 Secret is safe with Me because pawns have done an excellent job of making sure your audiences reject Troothtellers ANYway. 🤐😅
I am early 🎉🎉
Some of these comments are funny. Why do people talk about these celebrities like they know them personally.
Sista from Sparkle the movie could have played Sug Avery.
Oprah probably said to Traraji “You better clean up the mess you made”
I don't trust Oprah at all. This interview was taped last week. The fact that Taraji didnt show up at the Golden Globes and Gayle had to take her place last night speaks volumes. Smart folks know that Taraji only did this to prevent from being blackballed.
You’re not smart, you’re messy and envious-and projecting.
Stop creating drama between these successful black women. And stop hating on Oprah. Envy is ugly.
Some of you are pathetic. Some Black women are black womens worst enemy! A disgrace.
What has Oprah done to you? You’re just a follower, hopping in the hate train. A bunch of bandwagon thinkers.
And Taraji wasn’t nominated for her role. Fantasia and Danielle were-- and Gayle attends nearly every event with her best friend. What are you talking about?????
But why? Let it be an issue when they say it’s one.. and if it is, it’s between them.. and why not trust Oprah.. what has she done to you? Like seriously, that’s the comment you chose after watching this? That’s the first thing that came to your mind? 🤦🏽♀️
And Taraji was just celebrating her EMMY nomination 2 days ago for Abbott Elementary.
@@se_me1756 Taraji was supposed to sit in the chair Gayle was sitting at at the ceremony and no Gayle does not go everywhere Oprah goes. That's a lie
Chile…
Are there lines on the video or just me?
Taraji hasn't worked in a long time. I'm glad she was in color purple it can open doors for her, to get out of the cookie pigeon hole.
Oprah doing this to show theres no beef lol
How does this look like this was 5 years ago
😉
Folks just make up their own narrative. Taraj did not say she got paid 500k for TCP she was just telling a story but did not name the specific project
BigO subservient posture reflects contemporaneous bipedal animal husbandry.
I like theater and actress Taraji P. Henson was great in the movie. I think the movie is based on a book written by a black American female author Alice Walker. The Color Purple is a book.
E
For some reason this promo for the movie aint workin'😅
Not much resonant energy here unfortunately.
Verrrrry little
How much oprah paid taraji now?
Her fear of coming out
PAY BLACK WOMEN A FAIR WAGE😡😡😡
If you don't believe this interview go and sleep
OPRAH FAKE! 😂💀
How you know?
She’s a Boomer.
I LOVE OPRAH ❤and ALWAYS WILL ❤❤❤❤❤
Not attending an awards show doesn’t prevent you from being blackballed, one’s character, attitude, and not being measured can.
This is the interview that I imagined not the one where she tears a sister down and acts like she's a victim while assassinating her sister in such an ugly way, Oprah is an institution she carries the weight of the people she's so magnanimous in her giving back and charitable heart, if she asked me to be a part of this kind of history I would do it for free because the reward is greater than any paycheck that I could ever receive. Sisterhood and Sisterly love always ❤️ 💖 💕
The cast and crew should be paid and treated fairly and equal to that of Hollywood standards, which clearly wasn’t the case for this film. You should be ashamed trying to shame Taraji for fighting for adequate treatment.
She should be ashamed. Taraji and her team should have negotiated a better deal. Don't accept the deal,do the role and then whine about your salary. Oprah does not pay the cast out of her personal fortune.
Get real and get some self-respect. Oprah is a human just as Taraji is. This has absolutely nothing to do with "sisterhood." If that was the case, Oprah would've made sure her "sisters" were already taken care of so they wouldn't have to ask for what they deserve. This is work, not the playground. Glad Taraji knows her worth.
@@p.merle7-11 I’m not only talking about pay. Apparently Taraji had to fight for adequate transportation to set and food for between takes. There’s no excuse for Warner Bros to treat the cast that poorly
@@p.merle7-11They shouldn't have to negotiate a better deal. I guarantee you they don't low ball White actors
Pay black actors what they are really worth! It’s not that hard not to be greedy
Damage control...
I hate to see the discord; that’s exactly what the devil wants to hear and see
What is wrong with taraji hair???
Damage control..... Oprah has lost huge ticket sales and her fan base because she has too many accudations she hasnt cool nfrinted between last year and this new year. No ones having what shes serving and its getting worse. Was she ever authentic or has it always been about money and power at all cost?
Pr…
This movie failed to address major issues within the film itself. The role of Mr.
The racism of miss milly. Just throw some music ontop of it and collect the money. 😂
Taraji looks very unconfortable
I would be too
No she doesn’t. She looks like TARAJI P Henson doing an interview. Stop it with the made up stuff. I LOVE OPRAH ❤AND TARAJI!
@@lavadasmith3439 She doesn’t look uncomfortable. She looks like TARAJI P Henson doing a interview. Stop the madness.
@@thepositiveside2934 You're the type of person that loves everyone and nobody cares.
@@lavadasmith3439 No drama in my life! That’s for sure. 😂 You’re the type of person who loves mess. Grow up and stop the madness. I bet your life is miserable.
My life good! My bank account is full, my health is good, and NO DRAMA!
Bet you can’t say that.
I LOVE OPRAH ❤️
I’m sorry, Oprah’s hair is LAID … lol
I’m sorry but Taraji ruined the momentum of this films release with her complaining.
Yeah why would she even take on the project if your not gonna get top earnings from it. I like Taraji a lot I really do but her complaining about equal pay and not getting a driver to drive her on set is ridiculous. Yes is the only billionaire that's a part of the film. But it's the studios who pay the actors and crew for their time on set not Oprah.
Conspiracy theorists are full out, lol
Their body languages are stilt. Poor Oprah, she has done her best. Taraji did her wrong - UNPROVOKED.
I'm so tired of her if she didn't like the pay she should not have done the movie🙄
She never said she didn't like the pay for The Color Purple social media took what she said out of context and created their own narrative as usual
@@annzeeg4217 she did say a lot about the pay.
@@jlp0174 She was talking about her overall experience in Hollywood and people assumed she meant the color purple
Taraji was wrong to demarket the film like she did. Anything she says or does afterwards is useless.
