Taraji P Henson literally crying broke. She made all those movies and don't got nothing to show for it.

And people shytted on Monique when she got blackballed and other black celebrities was saying she fumbled the Netflix bag.

She been putting in work for decades and those studios still paying her peanuts.

On one hand, maybe she needs to cut ties with some of her "team', but at the end of he day, she working to make sure they get paid as well.


Then you see comparable white actors that can retire, take long as breaks or just be selective because they made enough to chill.

She should have spoke to the Rock. He could have given some good investing advice.

But for real, that's sad. I hope the brehette gets a role on FF11 or something.

It's not just about the money. It's the respect. She been paid her dues. But studios paying her a fraction of what she's worth.

 

[TaxCollector13459]

figured Empire at least made a couple dollars for her

It's all relative. A person making $150,000 a year, loses their job and is forced to take a job paying $45,000 a year is going to cry broke.

And if you're making $200,000 a film, when you know you should be making $2 million a year, you're gonna feel some type of way.

And she got other people that depend on her. It's a heavy burden. She doesn't make enough to where she can chill for a few years, be selective in the roles she takes or even retire.

 

[KidJSoul]

That's unfortunate

She should have maxed out brand sponsorship deals

This… a person making $90k a year is going to feel a heavy difference from $50…it’s why poor can’t can’t manage $ when they hit the lottery, and why a lot of celebs can’t manage money when their star quality starts drying up.
