According to insider reports, Taraji P.
Henson, celebrated for her remarkable performances, particularly in “The Color Purple,” allegedly faced mistreatment and unequal compensation while working on a project produced by Oprah Winfrey.
Sources suggest that Oprah, along with the film’s producers, intended to marginalize Henson for her outspokenness on issues like the Hollywood gender pay gap and her challenging experiences during filming.
Terrence Howard’s Defense:
