Leslie Jones is another Black woman in Hollywood who's experienced unequal pay compared to a white co-star.
Golden Globe-winning actress Taraji P. Henson recently spoke about her journey as a single mother working in Hollywood. Amongst the conversation, the star revealed that she only received around $40,000 in take-home pay for her role in the 2008 Oscar-winning film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
While Tia and Tamera were household names thanks to the popularity of their show "Sister, Sister," they weren't being compensated as well as other white actresses of the time. Thankfully, their mother Darlene Mowry helped them to get what they deserved.
