>House of Cards' Robin Wright says she recently had to fight for the same pay as her co-star Kevin Spacey.
>"I was looking at the statistics and Claire Underwood's character was more popular than [Frank's] for a period of time. So I capitalized on it. I was like, 'You better pay me or I’m going to go public,'" Wright said. "And they did."

She's literally second fiddle but the production probably didn't want be labeled as misogynist top kek what a bunch of betas.
>>69704156
Maybe it made sense for the earlier seasons but her part was pretty huge this season.
Good for her
I guess Sean Penn didn't knock enough sense into her
>>69704156
christ they get paid that much?
I mean she was pretty important in S4?
If you want to make more money you talk with your employer and work on something. How is this a news story? Because she "threatened" them? Please.
I blame Jennifer Whorance for women getting so uppity.
There's literally nothing wrong with this. It's called negotiation and she did it well.
>>69704232
Actors aren't paid based on how big their part is, you stupid fucking spetznaz.
>>69704156
Go public on what? She obviously didn't keep shit under wrap since here she is talking about it.
>>69704156
>demands to be paid more or she will tell people she doesnt get paid enough
>she gets paid more
>tells people she doesn't get paid enough
Extortion (also called shakedown, outwrestling, and exaction) is a criminal offense of obtaining money, property, or services from an institution, through coercion.
I'd drop a piano on her fucking character after a rape scene.
>>69704156
>"OH NO I DONT GET PAID MORE THAN A MAIN CHARACTER AND I'M ONLY A MINOR ONE BUT I STILL MAKE MILLIONS GIVE ME MORE MONEY"
And i'm sitting in my house dead broke about to be evicted. Fuck this whore, fuck her.
>I was going to go public if they didn't do what I asked
>So they did what I asked
>And now I'm going public
>>69704156
>or I’m going to go public
So she knows about bad shit happening, but she agrees to get publicly bribed?
>>69704451
Should've went to acting school anon.
You have only yourself to blame.
>>69704156
>the moment when society becomes something you want little to do with
Well.. To be fair, Robin Wright's star power compared to based Spacey didn't warrant the same pay.. Spacey really carries the show... However in light of the fact that she's become almost as prominent as Frank and in some circles is the more based character (I prefer her to Frank now desu)....I'm ok with her demanding more money. She's proven her worth.
>better pay me more or I go public
>get paid more
>go public
how does this work?
>$9 million
>not even on real television
>$9 fucking million
What the fuck does "go public" mean?
It sounds like she went public anyway.
she going public with her privates?
>>69704156
She negotiated. That's how it works. Good for her. More women should learn how to strap on balls if they want better pay. She did it the right way.
>>69704156
It's almost like Spacey is the draw and not some fucking whore
she hates LGBT-people!
>not equal
>demand equal pay
This shit is confusing.
Amazing, all that money for this trash.
>women don't make the same as men
>well, they don't negotiate so how can you expect them to
>woman negotiates
>FUCKING SLUT REEEEEEEE
Every time.
I don't know why this would upset anyone?
>>69705194
it's an issue of
>women pretending they are smart
Sean Penn should have beat this fugly dyke twice as hard.
>>69705194
>blackmailing
>negotiating
ok bud
>>69705405
How is blackmailing not negotiating?
You expect her to play by some sort of arbitrary rules?
>>69705194
>it's a tumblrwhale tells misogynists to ''fuck off back to /r9k/" episode
>>69704156
I don't even know who this cunt is and Kevin Spacey has been in like 10 of the IMDb top 100
>>69704447
10000% this. Kill her off next season. It should be an embarrassing off-screen death.
How dare a woman renegotiate her contract
She probably walked out the meeting thinking 'holy shit how did that work'
I mean JLaw hasn't exactly ingratiated herself with the public with that tantrum she pulled by boasting about her massive wealth while bemoaning one gig that she neglected to negotiate on as 'muh wage gap'
Good on her i guess
>>69704156
This is just contract negotiation, but why would unemployed neet /tv/ understand that concept
Her popularity goes up, her role becomes larger in the show, she can leverage the publicity of equal pay for women. Why wouldn't she negotiate?
> Claire Underwood's character was more popular than [Frank's] for a period of time
>>69704156
Average person knows who Kevin Spacey is by name.
Average person does not know who Robin Wright is by name.
No one has ever uttered the line, "Hey, I should watch that House of Cards show everyone is talking about. I heard it has Robin Wright in it."
>>69705589
I have no issue with her negotiation. Good for her for getting paid. What's shitty and what the non-white knight autists are complaining about is that she followed through with her threat even though she did in fact get paid.
>>69704156
>looking at the statistics and Claire Underwood's character was more popular than [Frank's] for a period of time
So because she was posted more on tumblr she deserves the same amount as the lead actor?
>>69704156
Let's play a game of spot the redditor
Ctrl+F = good for her
>>69704156
kikes are now reaping what they sowed
>>69704399
this
actors are payed on name and how good a contract their agents negotiated
she's a dumb whore that doesn't deserve to work again
Kevin should threaten to walk if they dont pay him more. Why should a D lister get equal pay?
>get paid less for secondary role than main star in lead role
>role becomes more important
>ask for more money
>get it
"misogyny"
>an actress literally only known for sean penn's ex wife deserves as much as kevin spacey
Only in Pedowood
>>69704156
>Claire Underwood's character was more popular than [Frank's] for a period of time
When?
>>69705793
>Kevin should threaten to walk if they dont pay him more.
This. There's no way this ugly skank should get paid as much as Spacey. He should get a raise or walk.
Delusional bullshit
Do you know how many dicks I would suck for $5.5 million? And she's complaining that it's not ENOUGH? $5.5 million would pay every debt I have. And I'd still have more than $5.4 million dollars.
Hollywood is deluded.
>>69705643
Yep. She thought too short term. Short term she gets better pay for this gig, long term who is going to hire a woman who 'threatens to go public' but always planned on going public? Contract negotiations happen all the time, someone spinning it to make a political point on all the shitty blogs is drama that the big jews don't want.
>>69705555
She's extorting shit by changing the issue.
She's threatened to out the unequal knowing it'd be seen as her not getting paid as much as Spacey because sexism when the reason is that he's a much more valued character and Spacey is a much bigger name and has more choices in where he can go and roles to accept or reject.
The bitch even understands that's the real reason
>"Because I wasn't working full time, I wasn't building my salary bracket."
>"If you don't build that ... with notoriety and presence, you're not in the game anymore. You become a B-list actor. You're not box office material," she said. "You don't hold the value you would have held if you had done four movies a year like Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett did during the time I was raising my kids. Now I'm kind of on a comeback at 50 years old."
But threatens shit anyway and excuses it with saying she just capitalized on a moment when people liked her character more than his
>>69704156
>HURRR IN ALSO NOT GETTING PAID HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS EVEN THOUGH IM STILL GETTING PAID HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
meanwhile women in third world countries are killed in public for wearing a skirt or saying no to a man who wants to rape her.
someone needs to hack all TV networks and air the videos out there of women being stoned etc so the fucking dumb cunt feminists of 1st world countries can get a grip on reality
Kevin Spacey is both the star and the main character of this series of course he's getting more money than the supporting cast!!!
>>69704156
Competitive advantage is where you find it
If you're a man, you work really hard for years to become a well regarded actor, win a couple of Oscars, and make the big bucks
If you're a woman, you do a mediocre job until your looks fade, then attach yourself to a man who succeded because he worked hard, demand his money, and threaten to blow up the relationship if you don't get your way
>>69706053
I don't understand the logic here. Just because someone else is worse off or because you have enough money doesn't mean you shouldn't have more money. I mean, it all goes to someone. If your employer doesn't pay you more, they just keep more. Why do you care so much?
she's brave and strong , anyone who disagrees is a misogynist
>>69704156
i wonder how much patty jenkins will have cried to DC and made threats for this bitch and all her shit actor women in Wonder Woman.
You could kill off Claire and I think most people would keep watching. If you killed off Frank though I doubt most people would care about the series anymore.
>>69706197
>I don't understand the logic here
They should be happy with what they have because a public stoning is much more inline with what they deserve.
>>69706411
Sorry Achmed, I didn't mean to trigger you.
>>69704156
>two threads on the front page
Pretty based tbqh.
>>69706490
this one was earlier than the mobile poster one
So she got what she wanted yet went public anyway? Pretty based desu
>>69705194
>comparing asking for a raise in a normal job to an entirely demand-based market
The market values her at 5 million, which is why she was being paid 5.
>>69706927
Clearly it values her at more than that today, friend. :^)
>>69704156
>second banana wants just as much money as the big name main guy despite being a two bit second banana
What has the industry come to?
>>69704156
>mfw this was on the national news tonight
People were calling her brave and that shrill cunt from Boyhood an inspiration
>>69704379
Nothing wrong but its pretty below the belt to threaten to call in sjw to rabble rab ble on your behalf
>>69708266
fuck that, when you're negotiating with corps you take all the cheap shots you can get.
they're not humans, and they don't deserve any goddamn mercy.
