Taraji P. Henson got real when talking about the pay disparity in Hollywood and opened up about the struggle she continues to face despite her success in the industry.
While making an appearance on Gayle King’s SiriusXM show to promote The Color Purple, Henson broke down in tears as she talked about getting underpaid for her work and almost quitting the industry altogether.

It’s a whole team behind us. They have to get paid.”
She continued, “So, when you hear someone saying, ‘Oh, such and such made $10 million,’ know that didn’t make it to their account. Know that off the top, Uncle Sam is getting 50%. Ok? Do the math, now we have $5 million. Your team is getting 30% off what you gross, not after what Uncle Sam took. Now do the math. I’m only human. It seems every time I do something and break another glass ceiling, when it’s time to renegotiate, I’m at the bottom again like I never did what I just did, and I’m tired. I’m tired. It wears on you. What does that mean? What is that telling me? If I can’t fight for them coming up behind me then what the fuck am I doing?”
