During this time of The Interview related chaos, it’s easy to forget that the hacked Sony emails revealed another disturbing truth — that Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams were paid significantly less than their male co-stars, for the same (or, in Adams’ case, more) work in the 2013 movie American Hustle. Now, for many, a female making seven back-end points while her male costar made nine might not be too surprising — women do still make 77 cents to men’s dollar, after all. However, hearing that this still happens in the upper echelon of Hollywood, especially to the biggest female movie star in the world right now, is like a slap in the face. But according to the founder and CEO of The Representation Project-slash-filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the news about Adams and Lawrence isn’t the exception, it’s the rule. - MTV What is your reaction?
