And pretty frankly, right after seeing just how substantially — or instead, how small — they earned, we undoubtedly have an understanding of where by they are coming from.

Paula Jai Parker And Luenell Blast SAG Over Minuscule Verify

A few weeks in the past, Paula resolved to share with the environment specifically how small her weekly SAG-AFTRA (Monitor Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Movie Artists) checks are, and little is damn near an understatement, sadly. Make any difference of fact, you know the saying that ‘it have to make dollars and sense’? Very well, when it will come to Paula’s test, it evidently skipped clean around the ‘dollars’ aspect and jumped straight to ‘cents’…literally.

“The Hustle and Flow” and “Friday” veteran discovered that she bought compensated a whopping $.78 cents! Nah, that is not a typo people. She definitely received a $.78 check from SAG-AFTRA, by way of Financial institution of America…and to prove it, she shared a pic of her look at on social media. In carrying out so, she also, shared how she felt about it:

Having said that, the common animated collection Paula does voice-over get the job done for, “The Very pleased Loved ones: Louder And Prouder,” was nominated for two 2024 NAACP Awards.

For what it’s value, it need to of at minimum been comforting for Paula to know she is not by yourself in her SAG-verify wrestle. After she took to social media to vent about her SAG-AFTRA verify, comic/actress, Luenell, commented underneath Paul’s submit to permit her now they are equally in the same battle, crafting:

“See Paula, I already made a post like this … was about 15 checks that additional up to about $96.00🤔”-Luenell

Wow. So, as we all can see from Luenell’s and Paula’s transparency… two issues are abundantly clear– fame does not normally equate to bucks and in Hollywood it’s no secret that in many cases Black actresses regrettably get significantly considerably less regard in the game.
