Power Creator Courtney Kemp Says She’d Be Richer If She Was a Man.
And if you’ve been paying even the slightest bit of attention to how Hollywood works, you know she has a point.
In a recent interview with PageSix, Kemp recalls a contract negotiation in which she received an offer way lower than it probably should have been. “I asked my lawyer — who is a white man — ‘Why did they offer me so little money?’ He said, straight up, ‘Because you are a woman.’ We always have to work harder.”

In the days and perhaps weeks ahead, we should anticipate that Ford’s character and her credibility will be relentlessly attacked.”
