So Tracey is more concerned with AA earning $20k more per episode, as an actor, writer & main narrator, than her versus The Last Man Standing cast who earns 3x her per episode salary while bringing in approximately 55% of the Blackish ratings?

How Sway?
:patrice:



So that's the situation?

No thread on the controversy about Tracee Ellis Ross thinking about sitting out for "Black-ish" because she wants to make the same amount of money as Anthony Anderson?

What? He literally makes that show.

That must've been an interesting conversation.

The execs sitting around, "We just got a call from Tracee. Patch her in"

Tracee - "Yeah so I want to get paid as much as Anthony. I crack jokes too you know!"

Execs - "Alright one second Tracee, we have to put you on hold for a moment"

Based on a Newsweek article published on 10/16 Anderson made 100K/episode and Tracey made 80K/episode. This is probably just their acting salary and not AA Executive producer salary. I don't blame her for wanting to get paid more but Anthony Anderson do a majority of the voice work so I don't know how they are going to align her salary with him when he do more on the show than her.



TV star salaries show pay gap between white and minority actors


Ok so now that we actually know the salaries and it’s for acting and not EPing, I feel like a raise would indeed be in order for Tracee as she’s won awards and her presence on the show is equal to Anderson’s. YES AA does the voice narration but the majority of the episodes since season 2 don’t flow strictly through his perspective. If people actually WATCH the show it cannot be argued Tracee’s importance. Firstly, her and AA have fantastic chemistry, half of his scenes in any given episode center around his banter with her, the other half is split between the office and whichever kid he’s involved with per the storyline. Secondly, Tracee has better chemistry with all of the kid actors and really elevates those particular scenes.

This isn’t an Aunt Viv situation where that particular Actress had problems with the Star, and by all accounts was a diva. Tracee is trying to get paid her worth as an award winning actress whose presence elevates a talented ensemble.

Honestly, ALL of them deserve pay increases. I’d say that Tracee really deserves to be making around $125–150k per ep and Anderson deserves $200-250k. That entire cast does quality work.

lmao @ everybody in here just rattling off who deserves what salary to be on TV...the fact is
that nobody deserves anything except what both parties agree to.

So if Tracee asks for more money and ABC agrees to that, then okay.
But until then, she look kinda funny asking for as much money as The Boss.

Actually the thread got out of hand...this wasn't even about salary...this was about Ross supported the toxic feminist movement.

If I was writer on that show I'd take trolling to the most extreme level EVER.

If TER and the ABC suits couldn't come to an agreement , I'd have these women as guest stars on the first episode

Her n Anthony play great off each other so give her more money i say.

As much as Anthony tho? Probably not.

Remind her of what her co-stars from her last gig have going for them right now.

This is really why she doing this. She and her costars got fukked on girlfriends. They took pay cuts then they asked them to take pay cuts again and they held out then cancelled the show. So she out here trying to get paid. She just need to leave anthony name out her mouth.

It’s sad that everytime a woman ask for what she’s due, y’all always try to discredit her. Now all of a sudden she’s a nobody:gucci:

Tracy has done a lot of work, won countless awards, and does a lot of things behind the scenes.
