18 Alarming Examples Of The Gender Pay Gap In Hollywood

I honestly liked her much more. She's a really good actress!

I always found Mulder rather annoying. Without Gillian's Scully I'd never have bothered watching the show at all.

She's certainly more talented.

I was going to say that the make actor could be more desirable so higher priced or that the actress should then refuse if she's not happy. But in this case, it's a clear example of pay gap. It's not x-files without Scully! So they can't pretend it's about desirability.

Jesus... WHY?? Maybe that piece of meat between the legs involve that difference???

She only made 10 million dollars. Pass me the Kleenex.

Imagine getting paid 50% less because you have a vagina.

HALF?

This makes absolutely no sense. Angelina was already a huge star by then. She had won an Oscar by then and she was still paid half? No, it's not about whose more famous. It's about having faith in your actors. Angelina had starred in tomb raider and completely carried the film as the lead. The misogynistic comments denouncing her on being paid less because she got together with Brad are disgusting. People never miss an opportunity to shame women for their personal lives but somehow always excuse men for the same.

Forbes magazine says,in 2020. this is what women actors hauled in. Sofia Vergara: $43 million, Angelina Jolie $35.5 million, Gal Gadot: $31.5 million, Melissa McCarthy: $25 million, Meryl Streep: $24 million, Emily Blunt: $22.5 million, Nicole Kidman: $22 million, Ellen Pompeo: $19 million, Elisabeth Moss: $16 million, Viola Davis: $15.5 million.

lets act like her character isnt the main and title character ig

They did an episode on this too!

What??? No!

She’s literally the star of the show! SMH

They guy is a douche and so was his stupid character. Rumours say one of his conditions was to be paid more than the rest of the cast, and considering he was a 'b-list from the 80s has been" when the show started, he should've been thankful.

he was the title character

Bruh

That movie sucked

He had the bigger part in the movie so I don't see the issue

From all the reports, it sounds like Chris was paid $10M and Charlize was paid less than this (but how much less has not been disclosed). She did get the same wage in the end, thankfully. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2015/01/80444/charlize-theron-equal-pay

This is definitely wrong. She was a main character and an equal to Ashton Kutcher in the movie. She deserved equal pay or even more actually because I'd place Natalie Portman as more high profile than Kutcher any day.

Ashton Kutcher can’t even act while Natalie Portman has been at it since she was a child and excels in nearly everything she does.

I don't think they negotiate the deals themselves. Sounds like the woman had s**t managers.

jewish Portman riped off by jewish Hollywood. And all want to watch Natalie 3 TIMES MORE than Kutcher.

Not cool Ashton :I

It's not about the negotiations. Studies on salary negotiations have shown that women ask for salary raises as often as men. They just get denied them more frequently. You don't individually negotiate away sexism. Public exposure like this one, however, can contribute to change.

As an ensemble pieces, that's not good

Motherf*ckers >:I

Why. Just why. As an actress Meryl Streep is like the queen of my world, i watch all of her (appropriate) movies. Please, World, give the studio karma!

How in the name of f*ck is this still happening? :O

Great actress that has been a major star for decades, am sure there have been movies where she was paid more than other actors be it male or female but am sure it was always deserved.

She is the pippen of the movie industry

This one is misleading...this huge pay gap was only for the reshoot when they reached Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer. Williams didn't want to get paid considering the circumstances so she only took a per diem that totaled around 1K (I assume this was the minimum required by the union) ....Walhberg, however, wanted to get paid for the reshoot to the tune of 1.5m

All the money in the world are for men apparently!! So sad that women still have to fight for what? 50% less at least?? We are not even close to equal salaries

Mark Wahlberg can't act his way out of a paper bag.

Sick!
