Actress Michelle Rodriguez thinks being a Hollywood actress is akin to slavery.
Rodriguez, one of the main stars of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, made the statement to a TMZ cameraman when talking about the “gender pay gap” last week.
“It’s like being born a slave. You know it’s like, ‘Oh damn. Darn my luck. I wish I was born somewhere else or maybe some other way,’” she said. “But it is what it is.”
She called it a “patriarchal society” and lamented how much less she gets paid than her costars.
It’s just like slavery.
Ignore her $34 million net worth, according to The Richest.
