She ain’t the only one struggling financially in the entertainment business. There is a shit load of them in Hollyweird broke as Fuck.

Mofos come into it thinking cash money is gonna flood their way cuz they see a select few who have been fortunate enough to make millions.

Hollyweird is a hustle, no different than getting a job in Corporate America or working at your local Target.

In situations like this I always have to ask, what's the spending like? Is it like one of those situations where folks making 200K a year say they're struggling because they bought a 10 million dollar house with 100K property taxes with two bentleys, a maid, private schools, etc.. or is she just not making any money?

It’s not a hustle. It’s propaganda. What’s sad is young black children see videos of certain influencers making millions and they aspire towards that. And they’ll never see the money and they’ll continue drinking the sand in hopes it turns to water. Mission accomplished.

Damn! That doesn't seem right. Chick is an A lister. No need to be struggling with 20+ solid years in the game. :confused:
Well, hell she can always come crash on my sofa! :fucking:

Is she really tho'?

Don't get me wrong, she had some exceptional roles where she has acted her ass off, but I don't consider her as having the same range as some other actors and actresses in the game.
Yes, there is bias in the contract negotiation process with these scummy studio execs, but why is she representing herself and not having her agent be the lead?
I hope she gets all she deserves, but I just want to point out a few things.

To touch on something addressing her team. SHe said that her team was doing bad by her and she let them go. But I've heard too many Black actresses that are quality actresses say that they don't get even a half of what white actresses will get that would be their equivalent.

Yall need to stop bring that video up. YOu already know how much shit HNIC went through when we had that posted on the main board. At least now we have it downstairs were the lawyers can't see it.

Got that shit on my hard drive.

I watch it everytime I’m depressed.

It’s inspirational, like the “I Have A Dream Speech”

She has range

She can go toe to toe any actresses
Viola, Angela, Julia roberts etc

There's always Onlyfans. So she basically degraded herself playing a hoodrat on that show on FOX for no money? If you ain't getting paid no money the least you can do is maintain your dignity and play respectable roles like Angela Bassett. She went down the Halle Berry road and wasn't making no paper.
