&#039;Orange Is The New Black&#039; fame actress reveals her pitiful royalty check from Netflix that is on the lines of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike

&#8216;Orange Is the New Black&#8217; Actress Shows a Shocking Paycheck Amidst SAG-AFTRA Strike

If you are a fan of the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black, it is
natural to assume that the cast members are making a fortune from the show. It
has seven seasons, heaps of awards, and high regard from critics. But one of the
actresses just spilled the beans on TikTok about how little Netflix paid her as
a royalty check. Her video has since gone viral and caused quite a stir among
fans and fellow actors for the disappointing update.

Notably, her performance received great reviews, and she was part of the
ensemble cast that won a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2017. Yet she received
this disappointing sum as her royalty check.


TIKTOK VIDEO REVEALS ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK ACTRESSES’ PALTRY PAYCHECK

The actress we’re talking about here is Kimiko Glenn, known for her role as
Brook Soso, an activist and inmate at Litchfield Penitentiary. Glenn appeared on
the show for four seasons. However, despite her contribution, Glenn recently
revealed that she received a mere $27.30 as a royalty check from Netflix. In a
video she shared, she humorously exclaimed that she was “about to be so rich”
before showing the check on camera. The total amount on the check left her in
disbelief, prompting her to exclaim, “What?!” She even hilariously captioned the
video with “I’m rich!”

This TikTok video of Glen
[https://www.tiktok.com/@itskimiko/video/6904342710782676229] went viral,
garnering over 3 million views and thousands of comments. Fans pointed out the
irony of Glenn receiving such a check while Netflix reportedly spends billions
on new content.

frustration regarding the pay they receive from Netflix

Taylor Schilling, who portrayed the character Piper Chapman recently shared a
video on Instagram. In it, she mentioned knowing people who have a million
followers on social media and are part of billion-dollar franchises and
yet “don’t know how to make rent.”

Other members of the show cast have also spoken out about how their pay is
undervalued for their contributions at Netflix. Beth Dover, who played Linda
Ferguson, revealed that she had to personally cover expenses for her supporting
role in Seasons 3 and 4. Netflix is battling a horror story now as more such
revelations and claims are coming to the fore.

and Hollywood.


SAG-AFTRA STRIKE BRINGS NETFLIX AND HOLLYWOOD TO THE GROUND

on streaming content and original productions. The strike has resulted in halts
and delays for shows and movies, including popular titles like Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/], Cobra Kai
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/cobra-kai/], Emily in Paris, and That 90s Show.
Some actors from Netflix shows have also spoken out about their dissatisfaction
with wages and unfair treatment. Kimiko Glenn is a recent one among many others.
People have also raised concerns about how to distribute the raised funds fairly
among performers and creators.
