In a recent interview, Jada Pinkett Smith voiced her awareness of colleague Taraji P. Henson’s pay gap issues, but from a different angle.

Pinkett Smith, who benefits from her husband Will Smith’s large income, admitted that her situation varies from Henson’s, who is supposedly the major breadwinner in her family.

Henson recently broke down in tears while describing the discrepancy between her income and her perceived worth, emphasizing the financial obligations and responsibilities that come with her job.

She complimented Henson’s bravery in speaking out on the subject, emphasizing the significance of campaigning for equal pay in the entertainment industry.

This, among other factors, informed her decision to play supporting or guest-starring roles in only two films and two television shows since her lead roles in Girls Trip and Gotham in 2017.

Smith stated a desire to transfer her focus to producing and directing, emphasizing the importance of addressing these discrepancies from behind the scenes.
