Last December, Catt Sadler left her 12-year tenure as an E! co-host. Inadvertently, she sparked a revolution by exemplifying the issues that the Time’s Up movement aims to dismantle.
At the time Sadler took to her blog to explain that the reason she left was because she learned her male co-star was being paid nearly twice as much as her for nearly identical work.

Scott proclaimed everyone did the 10-day reshoot “for nothing,” but according to anonymous sources cited Tuesday in a USA Today report, that might not be the case.
Star Mark Wahlberg was reportedly paid a fee of $1.5 million for the reshoot, while lead Michelle Williams was paid a paltry $1,000 — less than one percent of Wahlberg’s fee. Read more…
