Keke Palmer addressed Henson’s comments about how a Hollywood paycheck gets carved up between the actor and all of the people behind the scenes who support their work, whether it’s agents and publicists or assistants.
“The entertainment industry is just like any other industry. We run businesses to keep our brands afloat, us being the brand/business,” the Nope star wrote on Instagram. “And it’s that team of company members that decrease any assumed large lump sum. This includes monthly expenses just like everyone else. In the words of Biggie, ‘more money more problems.'”
