Actress Thinks Show Can Not Survive Without Her

December 19, 2017 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] There are a lot of leaks from the set of this successful prime time television series. Want to know why?

[One of the stars of the show] wants a huge salary bump. She thinks that the show can’t survive without her. She is the one spreading the various rumors about her leaving and the show ending and about how many opportunities she has waiting for her, thinking it will force producers to pay more for her. She has actually been doing this for a year now. It’s very annoying to the rest of the cast. They like having a steady gig.

If you are guessing that this is a show that has been on the air for many, many years, you deserve a slap on the wrist.

If you are guessing that this is a show that has been on the air for only a few years, you deserve a cookie.

    Taraji P Henson

    She played a cop on Person of Interest for a few seasons “slap on the wrist”
    She now plays Cookie on Empire.
    The picture is also a clue, but I can’t place which Hidden Figures scene it references.

    Taraji P Henson. If she walks away it would be like spitting on the greatest opportunity she’s ever gotten in Hollywood. What is it with human beings that when they get famous they become like infants and lose all common sense?

    They are making enough money from Empire so they can afford to give her a raise. Fox need to stop being so * cheap.

    Didn’t “Person of Interest” get rid of her for being a pain? I like her acting but it sounds like she’s difficult.

    Taraji P Henson / Empire

    Pay her! She’s the star of the show, even people who haven’t seen know “Boo Boo Kitty” Def pay her more than Terrence Howard, she’s worth and deserved every penny.
    We need more diverse leading female characters… like Cookie, Jessica from FOTB, Anneliese from HTGAWM, Bow from Blackish, Jane from Jane the Virgin and Beth from This Is Us. Beth, Randall, their girls and William are my fave family on primetime tv.

    December 20, 2017 at 12:48 am

    I’ll guess Empire due to the “cookie” clue.

    Taraji P Henson

    I have never seen the show so no idea who is dispensable.

    I think she’s right, though. The show does need her.

    “Cookie Lyons”, aka Taraji Henson as the star of Empire.
    Honestly, I watch the show BECAUSE of her!!
    She’s totally all that!

    Empire
    Taraji P. Henson

    I’ve never watched Empire. Too much chick drama for me. However, it’s nice to have a successful show fearturing strong women and a diverse cast. I prefer scifi or fantasy shows. The Gifted and the Magicians are among my personal fave new shows.

    • KitKanuck says

      December 20, 2017 at 10:17 am

      Really? Because guys aren’t dramatic? Really?

    • KCeagle says

      December 21, 2017 at 12:38 pm

      Hahaha. Guys can be drama queens and shady too. I don’t do guy melodrama either. Better now?

      PS: I DID rep for stong women and more diversity. ?

    Empire and Taraji P Henson? Hint: cookie.

    Idk, I stopped watching after season two. I loved getting so involved in the drama that I’d yell at my TV screen but thought the dramatics we’re getting way too convoluted (also, I hate Terrence Howard and couldn’t stand seeing his smug face every week.)

    • staciegrenery says

      December 20, 2017 at 10:03 am

      I feel the same way! I happen to LOVE her. I hope she’s just seeking out equal pay, &hasn’t turned into a diva. She made a “joke” awhile ago about how she deserved some of Terrance Howard’s money b/c she’s why the show sought him out &he’s paid the most. W/it being a hot topic, it’d make sense that’s what she’s after. Show needs her mOre than him I HATE him. His voice creeps me out, as does his look (creepy IMO) &he’s got a bad rep too, beat his ex or something. quit the show same time as U

  43. DuncanCh says

    TV Show: Empire
    Actress: Taraji P. Henson

    She is right, the show would take a massive hit without her. With the downward trend of the show’s ratings the last few seasons, if she left it may kill it altogether.

  44. PatEll says

    Empire & that chick who plays Cookie.

    • RampagingPixie says

      December 21, 2017 at 1:37 am

      Agreed. It’s sad that people can’t just be happy being able to provide for the people they care about. I’m a waitress and I was happy to give my check (which wasn’t much) to my handicapped parents to help them with Christmas. These celebrities are living in their own bubble and don’t understand reality. They say their hood and stuff? Ask them how many friends that they have been lost to street and gang violence like I have. It’s some BS for sure.

      BBT has been on air for over 10 years. This is about Empire, and “cookie” is a clue.
