“I have a story, and you guys are gonna be the first to hear it,” said Spencer to a panel on Women Breaking Barriers at the Sundance Film Festival. Fifteen months ago, Chastain approached her about doing a movie together. (The two have been good friends since they both starred in “The Help”).

“She wants to do comedies, and I wanna break out of period pieces,” she said as the crowd chuckled. “I love ’em! They’ve been kind to me! But I kinda wanna play someone who resembles me in some fashion.”

When the subject of pay equity between men and women came up, Spencer agreed wholeheartedly: “We were dropping F-bombs and getting it all out there. And then I said, ‘But here’s the thing, women of color on that spectrum, we make far less than white women. So, if we’re gonna have that conversation about pay equity, we gotta bring the women of color to the table.’ And I told her my story, and we talked numbers, and she was quiet, and she said she had no idea that that’s what it was like for women of color.”

Spencer paused as she choked up. “These are happy tears!” she assured the crowd. “I love that woman, because she’s walking the walk and she’s actually talking the talk. She said, ‘Octavia, we’re gonna get you paid on this film. You and I are gonna be tied together. We’re gonna be favored nations, and we’re gonna make the same thing.’ Fast forward to last week, we’re making five times what we asked for.”

Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away, or eat it away, or starve it away, or punch it away, or even therapy it away. It’s just there and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it, and love it, and move on and be better for it … across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.

I can’t believe all of this happened over a span of like 2 weeks? Excellent post! I was laughing and shaking my head all at the same time! And there is more to come… the funniest thing is the People “exclusive” where they say T DIDN’T attend the GG… what? Wouldn’t he have been introduced? This is more convoluted than any Episode of OL….

Caitriona should have spoken her truth and stood in her power two years ago if that is how long she has been dating the dude.

Saved a HELL of alot of crap if she would have. She didn’t owe us anything but it would have been nice. 

Sorry but I am no longer much of a fan of her. Best of luck to them… hopefully she is happy, but the PR teams for these folks suck. 

She needed the fan support. She played the game and used the fans’ love for Jamie and Claire’s relationship as well as hers with Sam. No respect. Arguably she owes us no info…and arguably she does since she constantly asks for fan $$ and support…BUT one thing is not arguable…I owe her nothing. Movin’ on from outlander and canceling Starz.

Listen Mr. Sideburns McCopyCat with the big fat black hipster glasses, it’s just never going to work out for us.

I tried to see if this little rowboat would take sail, shipping the geek with the magic movie star ala Notting Hill style. But it ain’t happening.

I mean look at the light in that face looking at the real Mr. Burns. I just... Listen. Again. You’ve quite possibly gotten the girl, but dude... It might just be time to admit that there ain’t never gonna be nobody who’s gonna make that girl shine like him.

If you are not capable of writing, just post photos. Loser.

Please consider reblogging to spread awareness of this loser. Thanks. I am normally not this petty but I can’t stand plagiarism and disregard for intellectual property.

My pleasure.
