@johncusack tweets: I know someone - very close to me actually - that was on a hit cable show - ran seven years - (it could still be going) She was paid 1/7 th of the male lead - she was nominated for multiple Emmy’s and won - (nominated for at least 3 recall ) no other person behind or in front of camera was ever nominated, The rich ass studio rolling in money - would NOT give her a raise - after underpaying her horribly And made her take cable guest star money - which was not 4 thousand a week in cable - but still viciously underpaid her for a long running show - who’s performance was nominated for multiple Emmy’s - as she was everyone’s favorite character - and clearly the most popular character on the show. It was so mean she just hated the gaslighting asshole execs - and wants out of the business - as the treatment is so toxic -? - Why did they do it - Because they could get away with it.
