Kerry Washington Was the Scandal show. The character had a team but it was all her

Viola Davis had those students but the show was her basically keeping them out of jail. Take her out of it and those kids were going to jail lol

Empire didn't really focus on 1 person. It was the family and the chaos around them

That wasn't a knock on her though. She was great in Hidden Figures and even The Best of Enemies

In an interview with The Guardian earlier this year, you said that you’ve felt unfairly cheated by the pay you’ve received for many past film roles. Has this changed at all recently?​

Djimon Hounsou: You know, it is still with a certain level of challenge, in respect of where I’m at with the whole business aspect of filmmaking. Another guy told me that for the decades that I’ve been part of the industry now, he hasn’t seen a film in a while where I’ve been given my due. I’m not quite sure how to answer that right now, but it’s not where it needs to be yet. Let’s put it that way.

lets add another name to the list shall we.

Articles saying around 175k/episode

She should have got around $750,000 to $1,000,000 per episode starting of the second season cause the numbers in viewership were much bigger than the network was anticipating for that show. Maybe her contract had her locked in at $175,000 until the show was finished ,cause her agents should had negotiated a bigger contract for that show.

Viewership increased after the first season but then decreased every year after

Viola Davis has had this same complaint about being under paid for years.

A lot of BLACK actress are underpaid compared to their white counterparts. Female and male!
They all have a good argument. Shit ain't no different then what we see in the corporate world. But she is in the public eyes and get her accolades.. pay these women their dues! Especially Viola! I'm sure Angela Bassett got the same stories... and it took her a long time too!

3. Single mom
4. Pregnant Prostitute/single mom
