  1. Or perhaps women are worse negotiators? Then again, people who get a few millions per year probably shouldn’t complain about wanting even more.

  2. so more famous men are paid more then less famous women? I mean does any one care about the moves that have the more famous female lead whos paid more? Any Helly Berry in there?

    Can the women not just get better agents it is there job to set this up? They negotiate for the man then the women if shes paid more we need to change both deals to compensate for it if the woman’s paid more well we made deals and you have to honer them.

  3. i love Shameless but Emmy Rossum was out of line asking to get the same pay as a veteran like William H Macy. That guy is absolutely amazing and he’s been paying his dues since the 80s. Emmy’s resume isn’t nearly as impressive. Odd how she didn’t compare her salary to Carl, Ian or Lip (male actors of similar caliber as her). She should’ve got a bonus for the episode she directed but that’s about it.

  4. The wage gap is a myth at least in the western world. This hysteria is promoting a lie that pushes a feminist man hating dogma. Grow up.

  5. The gender pay gap has not just to do with gender, but with bad agents lacking negotiation skills. Fun Friends fact: Even today, the 6 cast members get 20 Million a year from the syndication rights.

  6. $1M per episode for Friends’ cast was just too greedy. Now I know why they’re just a bunch of losers now. It was not just them who worked so hard for this show. GREEDY PEOPLE!
