- Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy talking about the pay gap, and one of the tactics that producers use to low-ball actors and actresses.
This round table counted with Gabrielle Union, Gina Rodriguez and Emma Roberts 🏋️🤸🏌️
We fully recommend watching the full interview at Porter magazine ✌️
She said what she said and with very good reason.
This round table was full of pearls
@@tannercox4537 Ellen Pompeo made half of what Patrick Dempsey was making for the first few seasons of the show, despite Ellen being the lead character and having more on-screen time across the board 🤷
If they don't like the terms. Don't sign the contract
If everyone stands their ground they have to pay.
@@UnscrupulousAgitator True, if everyone hangs together and refuses to be exploited, things could change (though then there's the issue of scabs). But meanwhile, time is ticking, it's a young person's game and they may miss their chance to do the work they love, make it big, etc....and meanwhile, too, they're doing scutwork to survive, and we're back to their wanting to take care of their kids and having too little money to do it. Fighting the power may be right and necessary, but there's a reason it's not always done.
What I don’t get though- is don’t they still get paid literally thousands of pounds. Yet people with regular jobs can afford to send their kids to college? (Not all- I’m just saying) like not devaluing her opinion- I just mean I’m confused-
She's so involved in this issue because of her own fight during early seasons of GREYS. She was the title character and was being paid half of what her love interest was earning
You know why?? Because he had a bigger name. He was wanted so they paid him what he want. She could have negotiated. Maybe she did. I know these things happen because my brother use to be in movies for fun. Well they wanted him to be in a movie that was being filmed 6 hours from where we lived. My dad said no. They wanted my brother so bad they offered much more money and a principal part.
Was coming here to say the same.
And then she proved all the male executives wrong, by being THE main character AND holding the show together AND it continuing to be a success “without a “male lead””. She’s all kinds of awesome. 💪❤️💪
@@jrr8828 the challenge was… when THEY became successful… HIS pay was increased disproportionately to hers. Yet THEY were the stars & SHE was the main character.
Prior to being “mcdreamy” he was a nerdy-looking b-grade actor at best. This show made him a star.
@@pseudopuppy160 Thank you!
We stopped watching when he died 😂
I remember a couple of years ago people saying Ellen was a difficult person to work with, but now i realize it was mysoginy and just a woman who was willing to vocalize her needs.
Nailed it 👏🏼
That
That's what they did with Katherine Heigl back then and Ellen didn't defend her.
@@sergiosilvestri5147That situation was a little more complex
@@sergiosilvestri5147this! In fact, Ellen threw her under the bus with some of her comments. I wonder if she regrets that now
“There’s a big giant pig” hahaha I’m dying😂😂
My favorite part! That’s what all these greedy people are, that refuse to share the wealth.
Was she referring to Weinstein?
@@Kixcommentsthat’s the first person that came to mind 🐷
He got his house blown down!😒🐷
😂😂😂
She’s always calling out the bullshit. We love to hear it.
Funny how the similar thing got Heigl cancelled.
Yeah. Women can also be cutthroat capitalists hoarding wealth. Those 3 women could afford to send 30 kids to college, no problem.
I'm all for equal pay, but this feels like the meme where Middle Eastern people with proud tears in their eyes are fondly talking about how these drones sent to bomb them were sent by the first women president.
Greed is the biggest problem we have right now in this country. It halts progress on every other issue we have.
"Where are our vacation homes?" Neithet them or "the Pig" needs multiple homes right now. Privileged bullshit.
@@OlafavonGoeding There's a difference between calling about the bullshit and publicly complaining so much about everything that no one wants to work with you. I like Heigl as an actress, but she seems pretty intent on burning bridges and then playing the victim.
She was the main character in Grey’s anatomy. Dempsey was paid a lot more at first cuz he was better known. That was fair. But as the show became a hit because of HER, they didn’t want to pay her what she deserved and Dempsey didn’t help her get a better pay (she asked him to speak up, he refused. He was an ass.) The Friend’s cast got paid the same because they stood together for equal pay.
Friends are actually friends, they wated to bump Jennifer and David's salary, basically making Lisa, Matt, Cortney and Mattew supporting characters, which is bullshit, so they stood together. TBBT did something similar when John, Kaley and Jim got a raise but Simon and Kunal were getting written out, so they demanded a pay cut to keep them
@@KirilovaTSI don't know how I feel about the tbbt crews move. Friends stood and negotiated together. Tbbt basically didn't chose to do that and they didn't have the confidence to stand up to the people racking in the money off they work. They offered to cut their pay so their coworkers stay on, which just gives weird vibes and is taking care of the rich people that pay them.
Yeah I always respected that about Friends
Never knew Patrick didn't stand up for her
@@montserratwynne1988 not surprised. the man is a complete tool shed.
Exactly, stop blackmailing artists emotionally or thinking they work "for art's sake". You want them to perform well, pay them.
If they don't like the pay they're offered they're free to refuse it
I would love to leave set without HAVING to take a plate of food with me.
“God forbid we get both” love Emma
When famous actors aren't even paid enough to send their kids to college...
And that is true sadly as we have heard from actors on some Netflix shows 😢
@ShotokanRed that’s what I was thinking too, then I got to thinking about Pompeo’s causes and I don’t think she was talking about herself. I think she was speaking on behalf of all the actors and writers that are striking. Not all actors/writers play the titular role on a show for 19 seasons, but they all want to be able to put their kids through college.
When would that be?
It's so heartbreaking isn't it?
She lying to try make you feel bad. What she really saying is why does he Make 10 million and I only make 1 million
Gabrielle really said " girl i know thats right " with that point ❤
Ellen never misses she is THAT GIRL so underrated!
I hate when the people who are only in it for the money shame you for wanting to get paid. Statues aren’t paying anyones bills okay.
Jobs everywhere do the same crap. We won't give raises but we will have parties and give walk pizza is essentially the same thing. You take a job to make money. If you want to do it for free, it's called volunteering. Employees expect to be paid fairly and they should.
YES!! I completely agree. And actors have no clue what everyday people deal with in the job market. Some actors make in one episode what people make in a year or two of working!!
I don't think employees gererally expect to be paid fairly, because hardly any are. It's usually the lion's share of the money going to the people at the top, and everyone else getting only as much as those running things can get away with.
@@giannacaradonna3485
It ain’t the actors fault what you get paid. Actors have to pay ppl on their team a big percentage.
@@SupernaturalLove100 ok whatever to your response. Have a nice holiday
Precisely
Love her for never mincing her words while calling a spade a spade!
Tell me Harvey Weinstein, without saying Harvey Weinstein.😐
It’s not Harvey Weinstein! Lol she said he owned an Indy company, Weinstein owns Miramax
@@WhoCaresHoexactly. There's more than one pig in Hollywood
@@WhoCaresHothat was an independent company.
@@WhoCaresHoMiramax was one of the first Independent film production companies (1979), founded by Harvey and his brother Bob. I’m pretty sure that’s who she means.
my first thought, is she talking about Harvey?
“God forbid we get both!” Emma 😂
That
Did she call him a big giant pig? Lolol
🤭
Yes, yes she did😂🤣😂🤣 and I’m sure he’s giving pigs a bad name🤨
@@iriswilson7387 hhahahaha
Weinstein
It’s an insult to the poor animals 😂
This is how people in healthcare feel. Except executives tell us "you became a nurse to serve selflessly it's not about money".... keep advocating for yourselves. Know your value!
100%
Yep. This has been my mantra for many years now. “Show me the money”. If you love my work so much just put your money where your mouth is.
Mis Gabby was like… tell um!
To the people pointing out they got a lot of money doing their series and movies, in the beginning it wasn't like this. And also: not even famous actors have a stable job. No retirement. They don't know if they're going to have work the following years. And it's worse for women: female actors have a really hard time finding good roles as soon as they start showing signs of aging. 😢
Thank you Julia. For being the voice of reason 🙌
Then they go get a regular job when the acting jobs dry up.
@@gatorftbllvr You solved the problem. Congrats.
@@gatorftbllvrsigh. It's so not the point.
Not true. They get money from SAG. Or the like.
Ellen is tough! She grew up just outside of Boston and she is street smart, educated AND talented! Go ELLEN❤ God Love Ya❤
Respect ,thats called honesty and integrity
Plus the fact that award shows are WORK. They may very well feel honored by the accolades, but they’re doing press to build their brand & reputation which translates to the box office or earnings of their next project & execs involved.
This should be told every employer. I do not do it for praise I only work for money.
Xactly
And nurses don't just do it because they want to care and help
Boom
Yeah if only life were that simple we could all just volunteer our time. However the world we live in requires we make money. This however doesn’t take away from us being called to care. It’s okay to be valued for your time and worth ✨
Thank you! Please come tell my boss.. she thinks my love of being nurse mean less pay.. ma'am no
Haha, if you do it for the money, you’ll be sorely disappointed.
That is what they use against you as leverage. You care, BUT deserve to be paid extremely well. Look at the board! Are they poor?
She is so fierce!!
For any job, she is totally right
A manager acted surprised that I wasn't happy with a great review but only .25 raise. I said I worked to make money, I asked him What do you work for? He stuttered but didn't answer the question. 🙄
And I hope you walked and or planning your exit. Know your worth and then add tax!
And I hoped you walked right out that door 😅
He really said " but you get so much exposure!"
😅
I could listen to her tslk for hours so eloquent
Let’s be real here. MO’ NIQUE has been saying this.
Financial feminism. With it we finally gain true freedom from the patriarchy. She’s 100% right!
This has nothing to do with feminism.
This is one of the most disgusting things I have ever read. You need Jesus.
Dude Emma you didn’t need to speak at that moment 😂
Ouch 😅
Agreed.
You know it was sweet to see her natural reaction though. You could tell that Emma got excited and internally was thinking 💭 wow! I didn't know we were allowed to say this!💭
She's young and I remember getting a little too excited, but I just loved that they acknowledged her reaction. Gabrielle Union was like an aunt with the silent mouthing, not embarrassing but signalling.
Emma was just happy to be there @@claric2545 😂
Exactly
I absolutely adore her❤
Gwyneth Paltrow - Shakespeare in Love, (perfect example)
Boom 💥
[mike’s mic voice]: she’s right and she should say it and she did say it because she’s right.
Fuck, I love her!!!! 😂
She is absolutely right.
You gotta love those rare moments where her Boston accent comes through.
Told we don’t need money because we receive health insurance.
Named Harvey😂his houses are for sale now
This sounds like Harvey.
Harvey wasn't a pig.
@@jamewakkhe’s not gonna PEG you
@jamewakk yes pigs deserve respect , he doesn't
I'm thinking ole Woody Allen!
@@jamewakkI hope you’re not defending that ass Harvey Weinstein.
I love the way she speaks. She's so blatant, down to earth, and says what everyone wishes they'd say. She truly has no fucks left to give and it's beautiful.
Ellen Pompeo holding that paper cup while complaining about her paycheck made me picture her leaving for this gig from her house like someone would leave for their job at the local diner. I love it.
That's a Mommy, good mommies plan and think of the future.
Preach! 🙏😘✨
she's taking about other actors as well
And that is how women will close the pay gap. Demand more
Xactly
Ellen Pompeo and Emma Robert’s are my two favorite actors I love them both 🫶
Gina and Gabrielle are like... 🥺
She’s real.
Harvey. He also had two houses by the beach in CT.
Her interviews tell you what kinda person she really is.
Love Ellen!!
ELLEN POMPEO SPEAKS THE TRUTH! Every damn time 🙌
Now imagine facing that issue without having the luxury of financial independence/stability to turn down a job.
That's why it's wise to have a second job when you're working on a creative industry were pay is not well regulated. It happens in fashion too.
oink * Harvey* oink 🐷
It’s giving, “I can’t pay the bills with a hunk of metal…” aka “Can I pay the rent with ‘exposure’?”
I’m with her “Give me my money “
Princess amongst Queens.. shes taking notes (cute she’s asking herself the same, she can’t even believe she’s there).. ❤
She's right. No one works for free !
Tell em Meredith!! 😀👏🏾🫶🏾
Ellen is such a badass.
Wow 🤩 Yes let people know u guys are human too
They waited so long that no one gives a flying fuck bout couple 100 grand or mills here and there you didn't negotiate for properly...meanwhile people are dying on the ununinzed floors of Amazon warehouses
She had me at “big giant pig”
Do it right Ellen, say his NAME !!!
I love that Ellen Pompeo is very much a Meredith in real life. Screw politeness, I’m going to advocate. For herself and for others. And she’s been in the industry a long time and is highly aware of the intimacies and inequities, particularly behind the camera. She’s a very intelligent, outspoken person and I love her energy in every interview I see of her.
Notice how Gabrielle Union did not say a word. As an actress of color, she ran the risk of being blackballed for being so outspoken. All she could do was nod in agreement.
And THIS is how Hollywood operates!
Good point
Respect.
My girl said run me my coins because sh**t ain’t free and I am here for it 🙌🏾
And I’ve seen her house it’s MAGNIFICENT!!!!
Her house it's A LOT 😅
She Said PIG???, 😎
She sure did! I think she meant to say Weinstein
😅😅
@@valjurado6020SWINEstein
Yep! A wiener pig!
I could watch this clip for the rest of my day !
That was Meredith Grey right there
Meredith Gaaaaaay 🤸💁🏻✌️
Amen Sister !
I LOVE Ellen Pompeo!!
“Big giant pig”🐷 so beautifully put!
Omg were all of these ladies in a movie together?
We wish
That “director” sounds like an “influencer.” I hAvE a ThOuSaNd FoLlOwErS, iM gOnNa StAy HeRe FoR fReE bUt PrOmOtE tHiS pLaCe. AnD I WaNt EvErThInG cOmPeD.
My mother- in-law waited tables and paid for her University of Washington, education, in the early 50's. She made ten times what it cost to go to school, working as a 2nd grade teacher. I asked her what innovation had the biggest impact on her life. She said the washing machine. The first two years of my husbands life she used a scrub board to wash all her laundry
Its all perspective!
$20 MILLION a year. THAT is how much she makes. She is the HIGHEST PAID prime time actress. What she's saying is right but having her deliver it was wrong. It just makes every actor & and actress look greedy. She can afford ANY school for her child at 20 million dollers annually BUT most actors & actresses dont make that. They could have used Noah Centeino who's pretty famous among young Millennials and old gen z's and has an annual pay of $400,000.
Agreed. But remember that it took her a lot of re-negotiations to get there. There's another part of this round table where Gabrielle Union talks about this from her perspective, and it's mind-blowing. I will upload soon, so feel free to subscribe so you don't miss it 😚 (Also there's an Actors on Actors interview between Ellen and Taraji P. Henson where they also talk about this in more depth ✌️)
I can guarantee you she did not start out making that.
This is the problem with capitalism.
@@KelseyDunlevy I mean, we can also make the best of it, by creating community. Is not all lost 💪💪💪
Don’t look at the $20M and be like wow, greedy. Focus on how much the show itself generates and how big her part is. Look to see if that’s comparable. Just like in sports, players make a lot but NFL generates billions and billions, pay them appropriately-they’re the ones who put their body’s on the line
😂😂😂😂Gabrielle's face the entire time... yup and ur still getting paid more than me
I absolutely love her!
Speak it!
Look at how Gabriel union is looking at her 😂 she knows who's she's talking about and some of those words got her all butt hurt 😂
😂😂😂 yes mam. I love her. 💪🏽🥰
I never watched Grey's so I'm not familiar with Ellen Pompeo but her line opening this clip, I want it embroidered on a pillow ❤
😂 I legit thought she was talking about Wilbur.
I heard a few complaining about Oprah, how she takes advantage ( no wonder she was so close to the giant pig)
😬
"Pig" 😂
Tell me you're talking about Harvey Weinstein without telling me you're talking about Harvey Weinstein.
Has to be Harvey Weinstein 😅😅😅
Right!? Crazy we all know.
Women always get paid less anyway.
I love Ellen❤
i Love the way she speaks and not scared to express her anger .. 😊😅😂
oinkoink 🐷
❤❤❤👑👑👑❤️🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽✊🏽✊🏽❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
…Why tf is Emma Roberts there😊
It's called having a conversation
@Demetri450 that part
"a big giant pig"... love it
She said wtf she saiddd!
Ellen is worth $80 million….remind me when she was underpaid
early on in her career
That’s net worth.
She spoke up and got her bag they didn’t just give it to her
She was "underpaid" in the industry she's in.
It's relative. She's not underpaid compared to most people but she is when her colleague is doing less work and making 10x more just bc he's a man.
Think BIG PICTURE!
An angle greater than 90° and less than 180°
❤
I love Ellen.
She literally Makes over half a million an episode. That’s more money than most people will see In their life.
And?
