The producer, whom she didn’t name, told her to “fuck off” when she demanded equal pay.
Miller was paid “less than half” of what her male co-star earned for a play she declined to name.

I'd assume it was After Miss Julie because she and Jonny Lee Miller were solidly the leads in that and she played the title character. The IBDB page lists the producers here - https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-production/after-miss-julie-483133

Also fun fact, I went and saw this and while the audience was filing out I saw Balthazar Getty in the orchestra, presumably waiting for her. This was after he and she and purportedly already split so he could work on his marriage or whatever. I was very scandalized by his being there!

This is the kind of ONTD investigative journalism that we live for!

Entertainment is very different than the real world. While Jennifer Hudson was supporting in "The Color Purple" musical in 2015, there is no doubt that she was paid the most.

Sienna Miller is more famous for her tabloid press for the majority of people than her work. I will assume it is Johnny Lee Miller she is talking about and he had just won an Olivier award,a few years before they worked together, so his price would be even higher.

What is Sienna Miller's name worth? She was the 3rd replacement in "Cabaret".
white Michelle Williams and Emma Stone can command equal and for Stone higher pay. Not Miller.

Doesn’t mean the reply needs to be Fuck off

The complaint wasn’t just about the pay but also the treatment she received for asking.

I dunno about her name worth cause I’m not familiar with her.

Of course. I assumed that would go without saying.

The complaint wasn’t just about the pay but also the treatment she received for asking.
I only read the bullet points, but my reaction comes from Miller being IMO quite rude and saying that she was at war with judgmental woman when they criticized her affair. She has been living off the fame of the Jude Law scandal for 20 years now

Wouldn't surprise me if it this person was Scott Rudin.

Both of her shows were produced by Roundabout. If I had to guess, I would assume it happened during After Miss Julie with one of the other co-producers, otherwise, it seems unlikely she would want to work with Roundabout again.

She's actually a good actress, she was fantastic in Anatomy of a Scandal but ontd remains more interested in excoriating her for shit from 15-20 years ago than having any context for what she was going through from that time and the work she's done since. She could easily have dipped and just been a quasi-influencer esp with her og fashion girl status but she didn't and kept working and I respect that

thanks for being a perfect illustration of exactly what I was talking about.

I read your comment as commenters putting their hatred of a star above a real problem. We saw that in the Constance Wu posts.

Everything I stated was what I consider fact and can provide sources.If there are more sources of how much her films made please provide them, I am very open to being informed.

Of course being cursed at is awful, but I was responding to the money part. I am glad you like her as an actress but talent has nothing to do with salary.Star power does.

No one who got a rising star award the same year they get the lead in a Broadway play will get equal pay to an established star who was the lead in a worldwide hit that is still referenced today.

That is not about respect , that is business.
