Terrence should have been paid at LEAST six figures and residuals for Crash. He was the central character. His pain MADE that movie. His scenes with Thandie, Ryan and Ludacris were Oscar worthy! Dam.

This is why I was so glad when Kanye said what he said about who runs Hollywood and the entertainment industry. I don't like Kanye in general but he was 100% correct about this. The idea that Paramount would only pay Terrence Howard $12Gs for a movie that made 10S of 1, 000, 000s of dollars is CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR how CANT anyone see that??

Terrence Howard should get an NAACP Award for this. 💯 Takes a lot to stand up to an Industry without thinking twice of the obvious backlash that'll come from within it.

Protect this man at all cost cuz fighting the industry while
Simultaneously speaking on questioning the world around you is a recipe for (RIP)

$12, 000?!! It's literally hard outchea fo a pimp! 😂

When Scarlett sued disney for black widow, Kevin Feige said he stood by "the talent" and said they should be compensated better. But he didn't stand by Terrance when he asked for a raise for Iron Man 2. Only Robert got a raise.

This is so criminal on what the entertainment industry is doing. That is really pimping the actors out cold 🥶

For Terrence to come out and say something, just know that it BAD.

[michaelcollins]

A prime example of what a "strawman" really is/mean & how it is used. Paramount used the body [Terrance Howard] & created another person with no true identity [DJ] & owns it & collects. So when you see your name in all CAPS on any document, that's NOT you, that's your "strawman" that the government created & collects, but when a "debt", "bill" or "citation/ traffic ticket" is enforced using your created strawman, they want you to pay rather them.

I remember this guy when he was on that UPN sitcom Sparks with Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince back in the day.

[Thegirlmimi]

He's trying to erase the agents and the middle man, if it works he's going to need protection.

This is why Taraji said what she said🤷🏽🙏🏽💯👍🏽

[TheHighrider]

Hard to believe that's all he made for a lead role.

[LIVETVISION]

NOW HE HAS A TARGET ON HIS BACK. SHE SHOULD HAVE PUT ALL THE COMMUNITY BEHIND HIM AND ANNOUNCED THIS

[laronzothompson]

Shame on Paramount for that finesse move..from a business standpoint i under but to pay that man 12Grand for that is disgusting

[knosemoemilli]

He got beat deserve better that was an Oscar Winner, ,,pay that Man

[Malouco]

I heard of 60k for a hit movie but it was to put someone on. Hussle n Flow was a movie where everyone involved was already seen! 😮

[LilRichh_]

Absolutely correct reason they'll pay you 6k up front for distribution then a 6 thousand dollar check after it's done knowing it made 1.5 mil first week box office it's apart of the cycle
