Gilbert Arenas on Why He Doesn't Get Paid to Be on Shannon Sharpe's Show (Part 24)

Watch Full Interview: • Gilbert Arenas on Taki...

Part 1: • Gilbert Arenas on Payi...
--------
Gilbert Arenas broached a hard truth regarding unpaid exposure in the skilled labor market. Arenas took a tough stance against fellow actors and artists, including Terrence Howard, who complain about not being properly compensated for their work. He emphasized that, especially in early stages of their careers, individuals may need to accept jobs for far less than they’re worth to gain exposure and progress in their fields. Vlad agreed, noting that he has not been paid for many of his high-profile interviews, but recognizes the value that the platforms he appears on can bring in enhancing his personal brand. Both Arenas and Vlad underlined the importance of contractual agreements, acknowledging that while compensation may not be immediately profitable or even fair, it must be honored since it was agreed upon. They also stressed the dangers of becoming bitter over another's success, suggesting it could impede personal growth and success.

Unlike television, there is no time slot where the audience can only tune in to that content since you can watch KZbin any time and still contribute to their bottom line.

[@GanjaGawd91]

Vlad didn't have this energy for all the actors from Friday who complained about what they got paid low-key the complete opposite from his Terrence Howard stance

[@supercornelius81]

He keeps misrepresenting Taraji and Howard's point. Taraji's argument was although she has the same accolades as her peers she's not getting offered initially anywhere near the amount. Terences real argument was he played a character that he could have got royalties for but the company robbed him and put the royalties in the characters name rather than his so all the royalties from the songs in the movie didn't go to him. And that the agencies and agents conspire with the studios to keep salaries to keep salaries low for particular clients when they know they could have got more. Those are the arguments those are solid legal arguments.

The real question is what are their royalties from these films because let’s say Taraji was paid 150k but she gained 20 times that from royalties should there be a issue and you only hear complaints today because people aren’t seeing royalties like they did before streaming services anything before then should still be pretty nice checks

[@nmestill7724]

Taraji point was that she's done the movies for little to nothing already but now that she has awards and been in the game for over 20 yrs she should be making more. 20 yrs in she should be able to demand more based on her career. She's saying that her doing these roles for cheap and getting those awards hasn't resulted in her pay scale going up. That's the issue!
