She made 52 million dollars. What the hell is she crying about? If it's for herself she needs to be quiet. To compare to someone like RDJ he's been at it much longer his money is going to be longer. I know there is a gap but she's winning right now.

We don't know the ins and outs of her contract but I know its always in the news that RDJ negotiated that shit. He also legitimately brought Marvel back from the dead. He earned that shit. Not to say you earn 80 million but y'all get what I'm saying.

She believes she deserves more. Its not about what she has. If she is the star and getting the most screen time, why are other people making more than her? Thats the question. How much she made isn't the question.

She needs to walk on some of these projects to make a point.

What does her movies generate in comparison to stars that's higher earning than her. It's a supply and demand issue to me, not a gender one. It's like female athletes thinking they should be paid the same as their male counterparts. Are they generating the same revenue on average, probably not.

Chris Rock is the goat not because of this one statement because of many

one of the most potent things he ever said was the bit about .. the white dentist living the in the same community as him and the line where he said the black man has to fly to where the white mans walks.. man that shit was gold

She wouldn't keep getting top billing if she wasn't grossing numbers. She is the lead in most of these flicks. She is the face on the billboards, in the commercials etc. If she wasn't the draw there would be no reason for argument.
 
What movie has this chick carried by herself? Hunger Games, X-Men, are basically a established franchise where a monkey could of played her role and it would of done 300 mil. All her other flicks she was a co-lead. She has never had to carry a movie like RDJ did with Sherlock Holmes.

I can't think of one movie this chick has carried to huge success that wasn't an established brand.

Jennifer knows she gotta go through that slut/bukakke treatment in Hollywood and she don't want to, now she's complaining.

Those Jewish elites like "you want your bank account laced, well bitch take it to the face!"

Ever seen the fappening?

I think she did the casting couch and she not getting the results.

And this bitch better not be complaining about her rile in xmen...her mystique is horrible.

Tell that bitch viola davis stop taking all the upset mama roles

That bitch is typecast because she doesn't have that sex appeal look. She gotta be a mama, slave, or some administrative (principal, secretary, vice president) role.

Thats so true that she really benefited from roles that anyone could have been plugged in to, she's really just kinda been at the right place at the right time.

Winter's Bone is a really underatted flick tho. She was great in that.
 
So nobody peeped that the reason jlaw was making less was not due to a systematic inequality but a failure on her behalf to negotiate?

 
The lucky people with dicks? Shit, she sounds like a lucky person with a pussy to have made $52 million last year. I didn't even make $52,000 last year, nigga. What the fuck is her problem again?

She made $52 million in the past year though, so....her bank account is already laced.

You have to be some sort of narcissist to think that when you are already making millions and more than many men and women on the planet that you need some people to cape for you because some men somewhere are making more and its not fair.

Chris is right black women in hollywood have the real struggle white feminists are a problem as well because they almost always ignore minorities
 
I'm a little torn by Lawrence's gripe to be honest. On the one hand, I do agree it seems unfair that she get's paid so much less than her male counterparts. On the other hand, I don't think simply comparing how much a female makes to how much a male makes is fair. For example, she sees it as unfair that the Downey Jr. is the highest paid actor and he makes so much more than her, the highest paid actress. The problem is that 1) Downey's been doing it longer and has earned the right to ask for more, 2) Downey is just plain better at the craft, 3) Downey has a bigger name in the industry, 4) Downey can get ticket sales off his name. That last one is the kicker to me. Garner has been in some popular movies with the Hunger Games series and the X-men reboot movies, so you can look at her resumes and see that she has had great success. But people are going to to see those movies more out of loyalty to the franchises than anything in particular she's done. Downey Jr. gets paid a shit ton because the studios know they will get ticket sales off his presence alone. Can we really say the same for Lawrence?
