The topic of pay inequality in Hollywood is still being debated, especially as it relates to African American actresses. Speaking out against unfair pay, Queen Latifah and Taraji P. Henson are especially grateful to Taraji P. Henson for her advocacy. They made a suggestion about Oprah Winfrey’s possible role in the underpayment of black actresses, implying that she was involved in the matter.
The entertainment industry is now divided and talking about these accusations. Other “The Colour Purple” actresses, like Fantasia Barrino, have also opened up about her bad set experiences and financial hardships. These women are committed to speaking up and advocating for change in the profession despite the possible consequences.
