Oprah Winfrey is addressing recent comments made by Taraji P. Henson, who starred in The Color Purple. Henson has been candidly discussing the hurdles she has encountered in Hollywood, despite her established status as a female actor in the industry. The former Empire star has highlighted the wage gap issue and recounted her struggle to secure transportation to the musical set.
Winfrey, who serves as an executive producer for the film adaptation of the Broadway musical, became a trending topic on social media. Many people questioned why the media mogul didn't take action or step in to address the situation.
바카라I heard I was trending yesterday. People were saying I was not supporting Taraji,바카라 Winfrey said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Golden Globes. 바카라Taraji will tell you herself that I바카라ve been the greatest champion of this film, championing not only the behind-the-scenes production but also everything that everybody needed.바카라
She continued, 바카라Whenever I heard that there was something that people needed 바카라 I바카라m not in charge of the budget because that바카라s Warner Bros., that바카라s the way the studio system works and we as producers, everybody gets their salary that바카라s negotiated by your team.바카라
Winfrey emphasized that whenever she was made aware of issues related to transportation or catering, she took immediate action to rectify the situation. She mentioned that Taraji P. Henson 바카라would vouch for that and say that it바카라s true.바카라
바카라I am all for everybody being the greatest and meeting the rising of their own life,바카라 she added.
Winfrey also addressed the rumors suggesting tension between her and Henson during a photo call at the Empire State Building. The former daytime talk show host explained that it was an especially cold day, and her actions were merely an attempt to stay warm.
바카라There바카라s no validity to their being a thing between Taraji and I,바카라 Winfrey said.
