Gabrielle Union Wants To Blame Racism For Why Black Actors Are BROKE?

Gabrielle Union Wants To Blame Racism For Why Black Actors Are BROKE?

As the coronavirus pandemic halts production on movies and TV shows around the world, it's no secret the entertainment industry is suffering. During a recent Instagram Live chat with model Sharam Diniz, Gabrielle Union discussed the impact the Hollywood shutdown is having on black actors specifically. "For all of the Oprah [Winfrey]'s and the people who have just a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of money, most of us are one or two checks away from not having money to pay for all of our things," the actress told Diniz at one point in the interview. "So this stoppage of work and money is impacting marginalized celebrities the most." After a clip from their talk began circulating online, Union, 47, elaborated on her comments on Twitter. "DEFINITELY not comparing struggles," she wrote Tuesday. "The question that was asked if you watch the whole thing was SPECIFICALLY about how this is impacting Hollywood/Black Hollywood. I have been at every level of the game so I speak from personal experience. That is all. But let's discuss." Union also highlighted a tweet about how "black celebrities make less than their peers" and have "less capital to hold them over." "Also this," she wrote. "I encourage yall to share your stories so folks can better understand the game." However, this is all crap. There are many ways that Black Actors can monetize. They just fail to do so. They do not save money or invest for times like these. Stop playing Racism for this or Coronavirus! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Articles: https://people.com/tv/gabrielle-union-talks-impact-hollywood-shutdown-black-actors/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a32377739/gabrielle-union-pandemic-black-entertainers-hollywood/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.essence.com/celebrity/gabrielle-union-black-celebrities-paycheck/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
