The Color Purple star Taraji P Henson has vocally condemned Hollywood’s race and gender pay gap, breaking down in tears as she said: “The math ain’t math-ing.”
Henson was speaking on Gayle King’s radio show on Sirius XM, and was asked by King if she was considering quitting acting. Henson replied: “I’m just tired of working so hard, being gracious about what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost. I’m tried of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over. You get tired.”
