    That was very interesting, including learning about what Taraji got paid starting out, how much was taken before she finally saw a net total profit of approx 10-11%. And once you’re successful, everybody gets their piece.

      I'm shocked it wasn't asked. Imma hafta get with them about that one. Some pre-interview agreement. The same way they were all out when it happened, they should have that same energy the other way around, when they knew he was lying... and endangering, not just his silly behind, but their show. I don't think I saw one of them say anything, outside of I hope he gets the help he needs. I haven't watched the show since... and was mad scattered way back when they insisted it be all about his character, he was the good guy (even as an addict), and his 'relationships'.

    • @geocyo8835
      @geocyo8835 5 років тому +4

      I'm glad they didn't. She gets asked about him all the damn time. You know she ain't gon' say he was wrong or whatever. He did something that was worthy of him having a seat for a little while. I say just let his ass sit on the sidelines.
