Yea and when Monique said you same broke ass couch potatoes rode whitey dick and told her to shut up and stop crying and nobody cared..
Taraji P. Henson breaks out crying mid interview when discussing her financial situation
- Thread starter Gemini
- Start date
Why do y’all keep brining up money management? And comparing her to some white cac actress that has advantages she can’t come close to receiving.
She talking about working more and getting paid less.

Couldn't make it through that one, Bro. The only saving grace was when Sanaa and Regina Hall popped in to ask for some sugar.
Sounds like she should have sought out WuTang Financial.
Did you watch her unfunny ass on Netflix?
you mean where she is put into projects with a lists stars like brad pitt and kevin costner and expect to walk away with 1 mill? hell zoe salanda makes 11 mill per picture and she is not as big as taraji. its clear it is a managment issue and not race or gender
You spend months filming and then there's no guarantee it's not coming out,you're promoting and being seen and heard from cause if you chill for too long people tend to forget about you.You have to have on the right clothes,say the right things or it can go bad.
Hollyweird is a hard and I couldn't do it.....Now I see why a lot of the older actors don't do or say much,just hire em and let them be.

Damn! That doesn't seem right. Chick is an A lister. No need to be struggling with 20+ solid years in the game.
no she isnt....Well, hell she can always come crash on my sofa!
if you have a blockbuster budget...and have a role for a black woman...,are you calling her?
probably not....even when she was young you wasnt calling her
No. but that question alone solidifies her argument and win in the entire fiasco.
It’s not money management.
It’s negotiating that contract which all these actors work under. They ain’t hourly/salaried workers.
Like I stated earlier a lot of actors are broke. It’s all due to that contract negotiation.
Eddie Murphy left SNL and went Hollywood. His people negotiated that multi picture deal with Paramount which set him up for life with the money he made. A number of actors followed his lead back then.
Ted Danson renegotiated his contract with NBC for Cheers getting a million dollars per episode, actors after him followed.
Tom Hanks got that script for “Forrest Gump” and did the math realizing that script was a Lottery ticket and negotiated that contract getting a percentage of the gross and made out like a Fat Cat.
William Shatner got that gig for Priceline.com doing those corny commercials, instead of getting a check, his peoples negotiated that contract where he got a percentage of gross on what Priceline.com made and he made a killing.
Margo Robbie recently did it with “Barbie”.
A lot of actors have not figured the game out and get screwed.
You taking a gamble doing that, but like I stated earlier in the thread, you gotta hustle.
These Hollyweird studios ain’t no different than working at Walmart or McDonald’s.
Their business plan is “If We Can Figure Out A Way Not To Pay You…We Gonna Exploit That Opportunity 100%”.
I'd say she is a legit star, but not an A lister. That's not a dig or anything, cause I like her (looks, talent ....and sex tape). She's a B+ lister now. A few years back she was maybe right on the edge of A- lister.
Like, Angela Bassett, Halle....just talking black actresses...those are A listers. Zendaya....A lister, but she needs to put work in to stay there.

We don't
To put in the work, you have to get offered the work. Or generate your work.
If you’re crying about being underpaid, you may not be management material.
There are plenty of old, racist disgruntled actors. Mothafuckas that did middling tv in the late 80s and 90s are always ready to talk about the old days.
When you listen to a guy like Marc Maron, you can’t ignore the fact that he’s benefited because of his religion and gender. There is no apparatus to build up a Henson or Haddish. The infrastructure just isn’t there. Nor should it. Hollywood is an industry given to Jews to gatekeep Negro talent.
Oh I was talking about Zendaya with the putting in the work to stay A list. Pretty sure she's getting offers due to her looks, age and recent popularity. Just have not seen her in as much as I would have thought post-euphoria....but covid may have slowed shit down for that little bit of time.
Taraji has age working against her as far as roles go.

but people were mad that monique used her husband
also where was she when mo was talking
@Amajorfucup
Yeah if she's hurting for money. She need to get her nick cage on. That mothafucka was hustling. Well he had more motivation, because Uncle Sam was on his ass about his taxes.
right they dont understand she is black she aint getting that
viola davis had a hit show and still wasnt getting paid like that
Not sure her and Taraji get along. Monique slighted her during her public feud with Daniels and Oprah.. Taraji was star on a show produced by both and Monique openly claimed Taraji only got the role because she was blackballed.
Moniques two claims were Daniels and Winfrey blackballed her and Netflix low balled her. Not sure what Taraji was expected to do for her in either case.. particularly the first.
Monique said the same shit but everybody was roasting her and calling her a liar and and bunch of other shit. I noticed a lot of dudes on BGOL went against Monique thinking she was the problem when she wasn't and being underpaid and blackballed. But it's great that Ms Henson is speaking about this shit because it's been going on for decades. A actor should be able to live great from their acting and get royalties from those movies and shows they did over the years. It's sad that she's going through this shit because she was a good actress to watch on TV. But then again them CACs in Hollywood don't give a fuck about paying black actors what they deserve.
Whats that? Getting white male hollywood buddies to bankroll and overpay her for a bunch of shit movies that nobody sees?
What fantasy island do you niggas live on where this is a possibility for Black actors.. let alone a female one?
Still, sites says she's worth between $16-25m
Shes in the new Color Purple coming out Christmas. Think Oprah produced it.
She's not hurting but think she's just saying it's unfair she can't stop working and maybe royalties money or even offers don't come in commanding the same as white actresses.
Truth is also, she is kinda typecast.
I think it was her years ago in some role as some badd chick like a Shaft role and didn't feel it fit her. Movie was just "OK" with her.
EDIT: name of the flick was Proud Mary, was meh

All facts...Damn shame she isn't getting the recognition that she deserves.
I forgot about Hidden Figures.
Then looked at her IMDB, she put in work on quite a few damn good movies and roles.
It's just foul that black actors/actresses don't command more. Industry is just racist. Is why I'm no fan of Tyler Perry but I give him madd respect for paving the way for many and doing his own thing.
i forgot about that u right
but mo also said lot of black actresses were talking to her behind the scenes
but didnt back her up in public
and i am talking about netlix shit about pay
cause that lee and oprah was a separate case
there is the oscar curse lot of actors tank
winning the oscars
I mean let’s keep it a buck has she ever been the headliner of a movie to make $100m or $50m hell $25m. U don’t get big bucks if u can’t open a movie or kick box office ass overseas. She ain’t it,and I like her somewhat but she’s not getting millions up front plus backend money when you can’t draw box office. Now the tv shows shes done should have made her a multimillionaire IF she invested her money properly.
and when they do Barbie2 she will make that $50m up front plus backend,she will make $100-$200 mil on a sequel cause this 1st one made well over a $billionTaraji needs to sit down and talk with Margot and learn something.
There’s times to be militant, but there are times to be humble and learn.

The actors that getting those huge blockbuster movies be male black actors and some well known black actresses with the majority and rest of them are white actors and actresses making huge money from those blockbuster movies.
I guess her & Halle's Manager is done smashin and moved on to some younger pussy...
What is this shit...brah
If you got it u got it,Martin Lawrence,Will Smith,Halle Berry were all lower level tv stars or C-level actress But they all had it and when they did movies they made serious money and now all 3 of them get top $. If Taraji had the it factor she would bring millions of people to the movies she in and she would get the exposure,credit,roles and money. She hasn’t done it and honestly won’t do it.
even the cac women are crying she aint getting shit even if she does that
Maybe because of the demand they want from her and she won't cross the line. So, you never know what they want her to do in those movies or shows which she has to agree on them first. But the lack of opportunities for black actors are bad which is why some of them sold their soul to get to the top.
