And I didn't realize she was talking about this film too. Thought she was just speaking about past experiences

Oprah gorl, you couldn't throw your weight around to make sure the gorls didn't have to beg and plead to get their coin?

I do wonder what she gets paid vs. what she believes she should be paid

It's messed up but I don't think this is necessarily an Oprah issue, it's more the studios and the union more than Oprah.

[Amazing]

Monique been trying to tell y'all for years but you were all too busy hating on her.

None of them were brave enough to speak on this before Monique.

Taraji has BEEN talking about this

They all started talking AFTER Monique.

Monique brought this conversation to the table.

Oprah is just ....

U wanna believe and think the best about her cuz she's a black woman who's accomplished so much but everyone can't be lying about who she really is behind closed doors - including mo'nique

Even down to how she treated Toni on her show and how it affected her

This cold shoulder.

And her quietly pulling down that mess from that Michael Jackson tv special she did once the guests credibility was completely demolished

Instead of acknowledging it was a misstep to approach  them

She def comes off as sneaky and shady . And "for my peeps!" when it's convenient and cute

Mo'nique gnawing away at her skull may have gone under the radar a bit but this taraji mess is gonna have the gorls going if it keeps going.

I love Taraji.  I hope she gets the salary she so desires real soon. I personally don't believe in throwing around large amounts of money. But if there was a time she should have gotten a pay raise it was during the Empire/Hidden Figures era. I would have champion for her to get 1 million an episode plus an Ep credit.

Taraji's team really dropped the ball with not locking down good pay for Empire and building off of that show for a higher rate. I just looked and saw that Kerry Washington's team secured her a $1.1 million an epi for a Hulu series a few years ago she probably was a producer as well which may have factored in the fee she got.  So they must have used the success of Scandal to lock that in for her. Racism, ageism (40+), sexism, and in case of darker black actresses colorism impacts their pay, but a good team can help with getting a high rate met.

I hope Taraji can get her a team that takes her resume and figures out how to get her fee met for every production and assist with mapping out the right roles for her.  However, if she's seeking $20+ million on front end that's going to be hard for her bc she doesn't have the resume/box office/awards for it.

!!!
Right people have to factor in all of this. Everyone's team negotiate differently and for different things. There's all kinds of backend deals, etc. Taraji been in a few hits, she's a big name but doesn't have the commercial clout, she can't carry a film on her name alone.

 I believe you're speaking about "Little Fires everywhere ", which was incredible I think Kerry got an EP credit for that too.

Having commercial clout really changes everything for an actor. That's why I was harping so much about Brandy and her communications problem bc studio eyes are going to be on her to see if she can deliver good #s for 'The Front Room.'

It was Little Fires Everywhere. I think that's the highest a black actress has ever been paid an epi with Angela coming in 2nd for 911 which I think she was around $500kish an epi starting with their last season or last 2 seasons.

The quality of an entertainer's team changes everything. So I hope Taraji starts seeing her team gets it together ASAP. Many actors don't get out the bed unless they are getting an EP credit for every production they are in.

This clip feels like a reach tbh

But this mentality is stupid in general

"if you really love something you'll do it for free"

girl love doesn't pay the bills.

and Oprah can say only that NOW because she's rich

[JCJ 🪐]

That was Oprah's first break...of course you'll take pennies

Y'all think it's anything to this?

Taraji addressed the tik Tok and basically said no beef with big o.

Actor's pay is heavily dependent on if they can get high box office numbers as a lead and at this time Taraji hasn't shown that. She did Proud Mary as a lead and it didn't do well. She said that was the last time she got a pay bump.

She should consider looking at Viola's team who is by far the best in the game. The roles are always a mix of lead and supporting roles that feel like Viola is the lead while adding in serious with a mix of major franchises which opens her up to new audiences. They are on their way to being able to say Viola is critically acclaimed, a box office draw, and has global appeal.  Which is all going to push her fee up higher and get it met.

Isn't this how you are about Tyler Perry?

Who Oprah just happens to be very close with.
