They Asians stars should have negotiated better from the beginning
.
But realistically this shyt happens everyday in Hollywood. Contract negotiations have to be thought out on multiple levels with long term and short term put into consideration.
I can't feel sorry for them TBH. They get paid millions of dollars and they left because they knew they could make more somewhere else. I'm sure they already have plenty of gigs lined up.
I don't even know if the white co stars were big enough to go to bat for them. They were probably struggling with their own contracts.
Being a lead in a TV show can make it hard for actors to find more work after the show ends sometimes. That's why they try to stick to what they have for as long as possible, because thats sometimes as good as it gets.
The two Asian actors have been supporting actors on multiple tv shows and will continue that road and make good money doing it.
The racial angle to this story just makes it good click bait.
