Exactly she is not a guest star, she's the star! The Good Wife made The Good Fight.

[@neilr6533]

Makes you adore and respect Julianna even more. 🤩

[@thesoultheory3822]

Powerful statement from an extraordinary woman. Pay her what she's worth.

[@johnbc2006]

Margulies certainly doesn't need the money. It's all about principle, I love it

[@mali-hz4cb]

Pay her! She's worth it

[@christiansantiago7067]

Wow! Wells spoken. I want to see spin-off. The good judge, governor of Alicia florick

[@crazifyit]

What she said! 100% agree with her!

[@momi2453]

I love herrrr

[@sameolelinedudes947]

I love her for this! Now If only she and Archie Panjabi would make up!

[@patrickh7695]

HAHA she mentioned Jay Leno’s bullshit, that was dirty what he & NBC did to Conan!

[@julieelizabeth510]

What happened?

[@debbiewilliams4879]

Loved TGW, but I didn’t watch because of her, it was several of the supporting actors that kept me watching week after week. So while it was “her show” I didn’t watch because of “her.”

[@gothgod10]

Fuckin’ queen shit. Love her!

[@Drew73586]

I admire her for speaking up, but I do want Alicia to make an appearance on the Good Fight.

[@julieelizabeth510]

Pay her! I learnt alot from The Good Wife and I tell you when my husband called me TGW; I smiled for a week. I got strength from that series.

[@Inyourlap]

Julianna refused a 20 million dollar contract to come back to ER after she left because she thought her character had closure. Not many actors/actresses refuse such an amount of money and job security for 2 years. She only accepted to come back for 1 episode in the last season with George Clooney. She’s obviously not motivated (only) by money and she’s comfortable enough with what she earned to refuse contracts that don’t reflect her value.

[@vashtiramsaroop5410]

Julia actually turned down NBC's offer to extend her ER contract for an additional two years, and a $27 million salary. Love this woman!! 💕 For some reason You Tube won't let me post the link to her recent Oprah interview. You can search Oprah and Juliana (on You Tube), and it should come up.

[@momi2453]

She's the 🌟

[@kman543210]

My question is, and I truly don't know, how much are other actors paid when guest starring on a spin-off? Despite what Julianna says, it is a spin-off, a different show on a completely different platform, even if her character was the star of the parent show. To me this shouldn't be about gender but rather not only fairness, but also what standard practice is. I really don't see a guest star being paid as much as the stars of a spin-off, but I may be wrong because, like I said, I don't know. That being said, of course it's her choice, and she can set her price because she doesn't need an extra side job.

[@carolcisko6768]

We all need to begin to speak truth to power✅

[@mjsvlog4839]

Oh I admire Julianna ❤

[@manantial773]

She is completely right!

[@Liz86000]

Brave Lady !

[@pjhimself252]

Self serving horse stuff. Typical Hollywood.

[@phillipweissburg1882]

THE GOOD FIGHT should be on B.E.T. as it is mostly a Black cast.

[@shelliann1]

Interesting.

[@martinb74]

Office and factory workers all over the world are protesting for Jennifer Lawrence and Julianna Marguiles should earn more millions.

[@edhepditch6327]

Love

[@virgolove4ever701]

Great to know I was all ready and so excited to watch this show but when I found out she will be in it I lost interest.....

[@Private.eye.007]

She seems to have a history of rocking the boat

[@michaelreilly3513]

YAY.

[@divashalo242]

no, not after her character betrayed Diane Lockhart at the end of the good fight. we TGF fans don't want her!

[@vitajuby4611]

Started watching the good fight then stopped. The language is disgusting and ghe show us more about racism than the story. Come back Alecia and give the show some class.

[@rodgerkehl8399]

This isn’t a network show hence why she wouldn’t get the pay!

[@hollyf8889]

It isn’t a network show? Isn’t it CBS?

[@rodgerkehl8399]

@@hollyf8889 it’s their streaming platform it network TV

[@shelliann1]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@darrengriffin6588]

hates talking about money.....goes on Oprah and gets interviewed about how she was offered 26 million for ER.

[@billhenry3609]

I was always a huge fan until she said anti Trump. No more the good wife .

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

well, The Good Wife is over, and Trump lost the election.

[@pissmyasslynch5325]

The Jay Leno mention was gold😗😍🤣
