Victoria Rowell, Darius McCrary, and Kristoff St. John on Radio Show

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Kristoff seems to back her up on that claim too, and he's still on the show of course.

Thank you

Right on the money. Provoking and disrespectful. Since none of us knew what was in Michelle's heart, none of us can make more of a judgement than that. But she IS a scientoloigst... so that right there should tell you she's two sandwiches short of a picnic.

[DeeeDee]

The fact that she NEVER did it to another actor BEFORE, DURING or AFTER pretty much says enough.

The bottom line is that if it wasn't racist why the need to pre meditate such behavior THEN make excuses?

[SFK]

Of course the difference here is that Allan Rich knew that Rue McClanahan was going to do that. VR wasn't offered the same courtesy by her scene partner, director (shame on him/her if MS ran this by them and they said nothing to VR), let alone the script.

[DeeeDee]

Which as usual is totally skewing what she actually said.

What she said was that actors who had less tenure on Y&R than Kristoff made more.

[ReddFoxx]

I don't doubt that it's true, black non-soap actors have talked about pay disparity, so if it happens in other parts of the industry, it happens in soaps.

[SFK]

Exactly. And the worst excuse is, "Well if I ask them, they might say no."

[alphanguy74]

She could simply not like Vicky and want to piss her off. it could be becaase she's black, but it also could be because theyr'e too much alike, being mouthy demanding cows. One should at least entertain the possibility that they hate each other for personality reasons.

[TC]

But I love clam chowder!

[alphanguy74]

Ok, then... she needs to give us the numbers and let's see the proof.

[DeeeDee]

So she PERFECTLY got along with every other actress/actor she ever worked with & never thought of such a genius IDEA to "enhance" the million rivalries the character has had over the years.

It's all coincidences.

Right.

They're nothing alike.

Thankfully.

[TC]

And he acknowledged it.

[DeeeDee]

Kristoff supported her assertion.

That's more than enough.

I'm of the logic that actors should be paid right in line with their seniority on a show like the rest of American companies tend to do, but in Hollywood that will never happen. We can't say that Kristoff is getting less than some of those less senior than him because of the color his skin, since if he is getting less than those people, there could be other factors in play. TV and Movies tend to pay you more for your popularity more so than your seniority in the industry. That's not to say Kristoff and his character Neil Winters isn't popular, but a company tends to reward those who bring current success. Past successes are never remembered as we all know, I'm sure. It is all about the here and the now.
