Kimiko Glenn, who is known for her role as Brook Soso in the Netflix series Orange is the New Black, is speaking out against the streaming giant for its unfair pay amid the current SAG-AFTRA strike, reports Decider.
The actress, who appeared in 44 episodes of the hit show, posted her royalties statement online, showing her disappointing $27.30 (NZ$43.59) profit. Glenn went on to say that many of the show’s cast had to keep working second jobs to make ends meet.
In a video on TikTok, Glenn responded to comments that seemed to brush off her small paycheque. Some social media users validated the measly sum by stating that she and the cast were paid upfront for their work on the series.
“Whether or not we got paid upfront — my t**s live on in perpetuity. I deserve to get paid for as many f***ing streams as that s*** gets,” she said, referencing her various nude scenes in the series.
“Second of all — we did not get paid very well. Ever. And when I say, ‘Did not get paid very well,’ you would die.”
