Apparently, she refused to play the awards game without getting paid, and powerful people like Lee Daniels quickly labeled her ‘difficult.’ It’s frustrating to hear how that single act of standing up for fair treatment cost her years of work and significant roles. She’s been incredibly brave in speaking out about the double standards and unfair expectations placed on Black women in Hollywood, and it’s a conversation we desperately need to be having.
