I mean... I would never have the nerve to ask especially if I had her kind of money but fuck Disney.

It’s not even about saving money at this point, it’s the entitlement and showing off your network. Rich people are truly pathological.

uhhhhh, it's actually a thing they give all employees. they simply refuse to give it to her, a woman who had made them 1billion, because she was black...

[deja_vu822]

they did give her her own pass, and she asked for more passes for her sister's family which is what they said they usually don't do. they also still gave it to her, it just didn't work at the gate and the one exec she called didn't care.

rich ppl are greedy

i'm shocked and dismayed by this foreseen turn of events

(but did white men get extra tickets??) (i bet they did)

Ginnifer Goodwin has talked about how she made it part of her contract for Once Upon A Time to get membership into that secret club thing at Disney. Not exactly the same thing as tickets, but she was just someone they wanted on a show at that point, not someone who had made them insane amounts of money for years upon years.

Was she the one that told the story? Did she think it'd make her look good and badass? Rich people are fucking wild, I hate them.

[triviagogo29]

I see no issue with this... men would have done the same, if not more. We see these dudes throwing fits about MEMES right now, so in my opinion, it is what it is

lol the first reply. it's always "idc because if it was a white man you wouldn't care"

rich white man are utter trash and we hate them. rich POC being just as trash won't solve anything lol. but you always fall for that shit, huh?

[fernandocolunga]

Yes they probably would’ve. It still wouldn’t have been cool like idk
Are we just supposed to encourage everyone being greedy now

[triviagogo29]

unless you're white, you should be greedy because it's empowering. shonda being mad her high-level exec contact refused to get her an extra $154 ticket made her ditch her hundreds of million of dollars Disney deal for a 300 million dollars Netflix deal. an inspiration for us all.

[arellaj]

I'd do that too, shoot.

[syphilisdiller]

she was asking for something anyone else in her position would get, no problem- good for her for telling them to fuck off
