Taraji P. Henson Gets Emotional While Discussing Pay Inequality in Movie Industry
In a new interview with Gayle King, Taraji P. Henson got emotional as she talked about pay inequality — especially where black women are concerned — in Hollywood. King had asked her about reports that she was considering quitting acting, and she explained unfair pay was the reason for that consideration.
The actress — who plays Shug Avery in the musical remake of The ColorPurple —has talked about this for years, and once revealed that she was only paid $150,000 for her Oscar-nominated performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
