Actress Jada Pinkett Smith is opening up about pay equity and how her marriage impacted how much Hollywood executives were willing to compensate her for her work.
In a recent interview with NPR's It's Been a Minute, Pinkett Smith said people would "literally say: 'Well, you don't need it. You're married to Will."
The Red Table Talk host went on to say that pay inequity had "a lot to do with" why she no longer acts as much as she used to.
"And also wanting to get on the other side to kind of help remedy that as a producer and then just wanting to bring more of my influence behind the scene," she continued. "It’s not to say that I won’t get in front of the camera, but what it takes for me to get in front of the camera."
