Oprah paid Taraji P Henson the most shes ever been paid for a movie, $10 million for The color purple. Why is Oprah being Blamed for black actors pay?

[Standing on business]

I know everyone hates Tyler Perry and Oprah but financially speaking Tyler gave Taraji her first milly, and Oprah provided her highest check yet. But somehow those two are the most hated when it comes to black people

This past month the community been going hard on Tyler and Oprah

 

[TXTrill1]

The most hated among who? The coli?

 

[Ziggiy]

Because people don’t understand that Oprah is a PRODUCER of the movie and not involved in negotiating pay. So really she shouldn’t receive credit OR criticism for what Taraji was paid or lack thereof

 

[Neo TheInsurrectionistONE]

Proof that Taraji was paid $10 million?

 

[keond]

Taraji aint a star TBH. Nobody buys tickets just because she is in a movie. She's not even that great of a actress.

 

[MrRDU]

Taraji prob aint get no more than 500k

 

[Uitomy]

[Amerikan Melanin]

There is no way Taraji got 10 million.

we still waiting OP

A) Tarij did not get paid 10 million and I doubt she got anything remotely close to that.

B) The set and setup was horrific according to The NY Times . There wasn’t food, the trailers were missing, it was full of bugs and the escort wasn’t there.

C) Tarij always gives thanks to people who show her respect hence why we know Tyler Perry gave her 500,000 for her role. The fact Tarij hasn’t said she’s made the most money in her career (she would have let you know) it’s safe to assume she made less or 500,000 exactly.

D) Tyler Perry is notoriously cheap when it comes to his staff. He skips cost on wardrobes, his staff members have filed complaints about not being treated well.

E) Tyler skips cost In writing and production. Remember when he infamously said he doesn’t have a writers room? These things add up
