The Bachelorette Recap: Man, Chris Sucks So Much!

Becca Kufrin finally lost it this week on The Bachelorette.


Did she read a few write-ups on the Internet about how she’s sort of boring and this season is a snooze? Maybe.


But it’s more that a couple men on the episode pissed Becca off to such a degree that she reacted by making an unprecedented decision…



Let’s start with the worst of them all: Chris.


He went into the group dead determined to make up for his behavior last week… only to get into an argument with Lincoln before the outing even got underway.


These suitors went at it over who would prevail on a two-on-one date, followed by Chris threatening Lincoln and accusing his foe of body-shaming him.


The two children men then actually debated each other at the Virginia capitol, as ABC gave them an actual platform to be all immature and combative.


Chris said Lincoln was all nasty, aggressive and offensive and added that Becca would be disgusted if she saw the guy he was when she wasn’t around.


Et tu, Lincoln?



At the after-party, Lincoln told Becca that he felt threatened by Chris and claimed Connor as well.


Chris – who was adamant he had done nothing wrong and was angry he kept having to defend himself – denied being emotionally abusive or physically threatening, yet Becca was irritated by the while situation and had to take some time to herself before she could speak to any of the other men.


She thought she was on this show to play footsie with potential husbands, not play mediator between petty self-cented douche canoes.


Later in the episode, a cocky Chris went to Becca’s hotel room, prepared to basically reboot their relationship.


The Bachelorette, though, was disturbed by how Chris had acted, not to mention the negative things she had heard about him.


As a result, she decided to send him home before the rose ceremony, labeling Chris a “very angry person” and explaining that he wasn’t the kind of guy with whom she wanted to spend her life.


And Chris responded with calm and understanding, right?


Nope: he proved Becca’s point by storming out and barely saying goodbye.



Elsewhere:


Becca got very personal with Jason, telling him about her dad’s death during their one-on-one date after he told her about his grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s.


Turns out, Becca’s father got sick when she was 14.


The doctors told him that he only had six months to live, but he managed to hold on for another five years.


Becca opened way up about watching her father take his last breath, and she felt like Jason could relate to how this experience made her appreciate her relationships in general, along with life itself.


Not surprisingly, Becca gave Jason a rose and noted that she could see herself ending up with him… FOREVER.



Meanwhile, Becca struggled to move past the events of the group date during her one-on-one date with Leo.


She just couldn’t push out of her mind how Chris and Lincoln had ruined everything with their rivalry.


However, once she talked to Leo about how she was feeling, the two had a decent time together.


With family also on his mind, Leo explained to Becca how he never felt good enough because he thought he let his father down, but she gave him a reason to keep his head raised high for at least another week, giving him a rose.


Still, in the end, Becca was too stressed out from the group date to even host a cocktail party.


She made the unusual choice to cancel this event — and then sent Lincoln and Connor packing during the rose ceremony.


Can you blame her?

Southern Charm: How Much Are the Stars Paid?


Southern Charm is one of Bravo"s most captivating shows.


These wealthy southerners in Charleston, South Carolina air their dirty laundry before the cameras.


Their drama, their escapades, their lifestyles, and their ridiculous personalities make for some amazing entertainment.


But how much, exactly, do the stars of Southern Charm actually get paid for their trouble?


A lot of them make the same amount, but there are a few special cases worth mentioning. And, thanks to a report by RadarOnline, we have the details.


Check it out:




1. Starring on a reality show is work


Southern charm cast photo

The Southern Charm cast already have money. Like Real Housewives, the cast is chosen in part for its affluence. But how much do you have to pay a group of dramatic rich people to air their dirty laundry?



2. How much is, say, Chelsea Meissner paid?


Chelsea meissner

According to RadarOnline, ALL of the stars of Southern Charm are paid the same, flat rate of $ 25,000. But it’s a little complicated for a few of them.



3. So … what is that, per season?


Cameran eubanks

Southern Charm airs 15 episodes per season. So at $ 25,000 for a single episodes, that’s $ 375,000 in a season. Not bad for Cameran Eubanks and her costars, though some Real Housewives rake in over $ 1 million per season.



4. Yes, this even applies to Craig Conover


Craig conover

Conover, who talks like a frat guy at times … and acts like a frat guy at times … is a reformed playboy who is back to his old tricks again. He is paid $ 25,000 per episode to just be himself on camera.



5. Kathryn Dennis is in the same boat


Kathryn dennis image

She makes $ 25,000. But a couple of others, however, are special cases.



6. Shep Rose is where things get complicated


Shep rose

Don’t get us wrong, Shep makes the same $ 25,000 per episode as everyone else. BUT he also has something else going for him, and we don’t just mean his inexplicable Owen Wilson vibe.

Jon Gosselin: My Girlfriend is SO Much Nicer Than Kate!

Recently, Jon Gosselin and his daughter Hannah have been spending plenty of time together. But even with dad duties, he still has his love life.


In fact, Jon has been dating his current girlfriend for a while now.


And he’s shared a couple of new, very rare photos of the two of them together.



Jon Gosselin’s life hasn’t been the most glamorous since he and Kate had their falling out.


His emotional health has almost certainly improved since his escape from Kate Gosselin’s presence. …


(We just wish that we could say the same for those poor children!)


But his lifestyle is no longer that of a reality star. He has worked as waiter at one of those restaurant chains that “Millennials are killing,” he’s worked installing solar panels, he’s worked as a DJ.


Oh, and there was that time that he worked as a stripper. (Okay, so he danced and took off his shirt, but that was it)


But there has been one enduring light in his life — aside from his children. He has been dating Colleen Conrad since October of 2014.



This week, Jon Gosselin shared a couple of snaps of him with Colleen.


He captioned one: “Tailgating at the Def Leopard and Journey concert in Philly!!!!”


The next photo, at the concert itself, is captioned:


“Def Leopard and Journey!!! Let’s go!!!”


Journey is one of the most famous ’80s bands out there, mostly for that one song.


Def Leppard (yes, the band’s spelling) is an English New Wave rock band.


One might characterize it all as “dad music,” but it looks like Colleen is having a good time. She’s smiling, anyway.


Good for them for enjoing themselves!



Almost exactly one year ago, Jon congratulated his girlfriend for completing nursing school.


Some fans have speculated about how Jon can afford luxuries like concert tickets (even if they aren’t to the, um, most fresh-faced or current music groups) when he is said to have only a few thousand dollars to his name.


(Keep in mind that Kate Gosselin is suing Jon at the moment for enough money to buy a small house)


There may be a simple explanation: perhaps Colleen bought the tickets as a treat for Jon. Or for her — we don’t know what sort of music she enjoys.


Besides, even if Jon bought these tickets himself, it’s not like it would make any impact on whether or not he can pay Kate the $ 132,875 that he owes her.


In the mean time, fans are treated to these rare snaps of Jon and his lady love.



The last time that fans got to see Colleen, she was with Jon and Hannah as they celebrated a win by the Philadelphia Eagles, which is a football team.


Jon and his 14-year-old daughter have had a special bond, and she has been seen more and more with her father in recent months.


The two have gotten coffee and gotten ice cream and gone on road trips.


It’s nice to see that they still have a relationship with each other despite, well, the intense complications of Jon and Kate’s divorce.


Plus, any moment that any of Kate’s children get to spend away from her clutches is a blessing, don’t you think?



Colleen, by the way, has reportedly recently moved in with Jon.


She also has two children from a previous relationship.


While we don’t think that Jon & Colleen Plus Ten will be a reality series any time soon (it wouldn’t work unless they have three kids, and then it could be Jon & Colleen Plus Thirteen, which rhymes but probably isn’t worth it), they share that much more in common.


Good for them. And good for Jon for being able to find a new life after Kate.


We look forward to the day when the Gosselin children can all get their fresh start in life and breathe free air.

Bella Thorne: How Much Was She Paid for This Topless Pic?

Snapchat isn’t dead! Not as long as pictures like this one are turning up on it. 


Bella Thorne is tantalizing her followers with a special treat. And no, it’s not confirmation of her first pregnancy. Let those rumors rest. Probably.


As you’ll see below, she’s treating her fans to a brand new topless photo.



In this stunning new snap, Bella poses topless with one hand draped across her breast.


Her slender fingers aren’t really covering much, but it’s at least enough that she could crosspost the pic to Instagram if she wanted.


She’s giving the camera a bold, sultry look that reminds us of Manet’s Olympia. That painting’s contrast to past similar works, such as Titian’s Venus d’Urbino, was notably that the nude woman is gazing directly at the viewer.


Just as Bella is doing. It shows a boldness and personal strength.


Contrasting with her alabaster skin, she is wearing black leather pants.


To round out the photo, she took this pic outdoors.



In a video for Vogue titled “Inside The Life of Bella Thorne,” the 20-year-old actress revealed that she can rake in considerable cash via social media.


Like so many stars, she gets paid for her posts.


“For [an Instagram] grid posting, it’s 65 grand a post.”


That is, to be clear, $ 65,000. That’s … well, it’s not a house, but it’s certainly a car. For a photograph with a caption.


“For story posting, it’s anywhere from 10 to 20K, and for Snapchat, it’s the same as Insta story.”


That is a tremendous amount of money.


We all know that celebrities are paid for their endorsements, but it sounds like Bella is in the upper echelons of social media product integration.



And it has paid off.


“I started out at 18 with literally $ 200 in my bank account and I bought this house a year later, a year and a half.”


Bella is now 20.


“That’s all from social media.”


She also works as an actress, of course, but she may use money from different revenue streams in different ways.


“I was raised to think social media is everything,”


Clearly, it is.



Though she is no stranger to showing some skin, Bella also reveals parts of her life with her fans and followers.


Sometimes, it’s good news about an upcoming film project.


Other times, she gets very personal and discusses bone-chilling subjects.


Earlier this year, Bella Thorne revealed that she had been sexually abused until she was 14 years old.


Not long after, she decided to take a break from social media.


Revealing the difficult truths of your life to millions of strangers takes its toll. We’re glad that she took time for self-care.


We are also glad that she is feeling up to returning to social media.



Bella’s thirst traps aren’t just a hobby. They’re part of her job.


Reality stars and yes, even singers and actors need to take social media seriously or leave it to experts.


(Social media managers exist for a reason, folks!)


It’s great to see Bella’s recent pics, and not just because so many of them are thirst traps.


We’re delighted to see her being successful.


It’s what she deserves.

Kim Kardashian: I Just Love My Body SO Much!

For the record, Kim Kardashian definitely feel bad for Khloe Kardashian these days.


The reality star has allegedly reached out to her sister and urged Khloe to dump Tristan Thompson in the wake of his massive cheating scandal.


But you know who else Kim is feeling these days?



HERSELF.


And this is what we mean by that statement:


The 37-year old mother of three is feeling better about her figure than she has in years, as evidenced by two things:


1. Her recent proliferation of bikini photos.


2. Her own words.


Indeed, Kardashian shared both the image above and the image below on Instagram over the weekend, including with the latter a caption that emphasized this newfound self-esteem.


Shout out to my trainer @fitgurlmel who really changed my body.


When I wasn’t happy with what I saw back in the mirror I spent a whole year training so hard 5 or 6 days a week putting in a lot of work and changed the way that I eat and there’s such a noticeable difference.


I am firm and less cellulite and so much more confident.


SO THANK YOU for waking up at 5am to do crazy body building workouts & sprints that I hate & putting me on to this lifestyle.



This is not as annoying as some of the posts and messages Kim and her loved one send about their body.


It drives us crazy, for example, that Kylie Jenner is so publicly focused these days on shedding her pregnancy weight.


We think it sends a bad message to other new moms out there.


And Kardashian was guilty of doing the same thing following her two births.


This time around… whatever. There’s nothing wrong with Kardashian showing gratitude to her personal trainer.


And there’s even less wrong with the pictures she’s been posting online of late!



The ex-sex tape actress posted multiple scantily-clad snapshots of herself on vacation last week, clearly making a point to remind everything of the following:


Hey, I’m still really hot!


We never truly doubted this, but we don’t object to the reminder, either.


Sadly, some critics out there do for some reason.


In early April, Kardashian shared the following photo on her Instagram page:



Hot, awesome, seductive stuff, right?!?


That’s all we’d say about it.


But far too many trolls came down hard on Kardashian for daring to pose in such a manner when she’s a mother.


Is it even worth explaining to these people how lame they are having such an opinion about a stranger?!?


Sigh.


Elsewhere: Explaining why she previously chose to delete a few bathing suit photos from Instagram, Kardashian said on Friday that she “didn’t like the vibe on my page,” but that she had “re-filtered” them and would be “resposting some.”


Then, alongside one of the deleted pictures, the controversial star added that she’s “crazy about the vibe on my IG page. #PositiveVibesOnly.”


Hey, Kim:


Continue to post these kinds of snapshots and you will only here positive things from The Hollywood Gossip.


We promise.

Leah Messer Plastic Surgery Rumors: How Much Work Has She Had Done?

Leah Messer is commonly regarded as one of the more “down to earth” members of the Teen Mom family.


Leah lives in West Virginia and struggles with challenges like how to get the kids to school on time, not how to get more subscribers for her live-streaming sex show.



Sure, Leah has struggled with addiction, and her life is certainly not without dramatic fireworks, but her problems are generally of the type that regular folk can identify with.


(Prescription pill problems of the variety with which Leah suffered are sadly not uncommon in rural areas of the US, particularly those afflicted by poverty.)


But while Ms. Messer might be the most relatable of all the Teen Moms, she’s still been famous for the better part of a decade now.


So it should come as no surprise that she’s given into some of Hollywood’s more persistent temptations.



According to In Touch Weekly, fans are convinced that Leah has undergone some minor cosmetic work in recent months.


Some believe she went under the knife, while others are pushing the far more believable story that she’s simply had her lips artificially plumped and maybe benefited from a facial filler or two.


As is often the case with this sort of thing, fans are split not only on the question of how much work Leah has had done, but also on the issue of how they feel about the results.


“I think she looked better without it. She can hardly move her face. Why do these girls do it to themselves?” commented one fan on a recent photo of Leah.


“I don’t think she looks bad at all,” said another, adding:



“Until she tries to make a crazy face. Then it looks obvious.” 


Ouch. Delayed burns are always the harshest.


The speculation hit an all-time high during recent episodes of Teen Mom 2, during which viewers claimed the evidence that Leah has had work done was right before their eyes:


“Is it just me or does Leah’s face look really different? I can’t say what it is exactly though,” one fan tweeted during the show.


“Leah looks so good. She looks different, not sure what it is. Either way, she is still pretty,” wrote a slightly more compassionate follower.



Until recently, Leah remained mum on the subject, thus further fueling speculation that she was keeping her procedures under wraps.


This week, however, she decided to set the record straight:


“The fact that you guys seriously think I’ve had some kind of plastic surgery… #wtf #notatall,” she tweeted in response to recent speculation.


“The skincare line I use is pretty phenomenal tho.”


Leah did cop to a cosmetic procedure, however, but it’s not the one fans were looking out for:



“I didn’t get veneers but I have temp filling on my top two eye teeth,” Messer tweeted.


She noted that the dentist she went to was none other than Randy Houska, beloved father of Leah’s castmate, Chelsea Houska.


Denying the rumors and endorsing a friend’s business at the same time?


Maybe Leah is more Hollywood than we ever realized!


Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the maturation of Ms. Messer.

Catelynn Lowell Shares Inappropriate Photo of Her Daughter, Gets SO MUCH HATE

Catelynn Lowell has had a rough few months, and most Teen Mom fans seem to be very understanding of that.


After it was revealed that she’d been suffering from suicidal thoughts after having a miscarriage last fall, followers of the show were ready to give her all the support they could.



Every time she’s made a statement on social media about her situation, she’s received so much love and admiration.


And earlier this week, when she revealed that she’d been diagnosed with panic disorder, depression, and PTSD from her traumatic childhood, people were more than willing to applaud her strength.


Which makes sense — she’s been through so much, and it’s great that she’s been taking care of herself and getting the help she needs.


But now that she’s been out of her last stint in rehab for a few weeks, things are starting to get back to normal.


And for the Teen Mom crew, that means sharing photos of her kids that could be considered inappropriate and getting bashed for it by dozens and dozens of strangers.




Nova paintings eggs


Catelynn shared this photo of her three-year-old daughter Nova yesterday, and in the caption, she explained that they were painting Easter eggs.


But many people got upset because … well, you know why they got upset.


“Omg put a shirt on her!!” one of her followers wrote. “Poor little girl! Can’t teach a careless parent sense smh.”


“Jeez, would it kill ya to put an old shirt on the child?” another asked. “There’s a little boy in the background, it’s ok to teach children modesty!”


One person said that Nova going without a shirt was “ok for the house but on the gram like that? Just saying it looks a little weird.”



“And those hearts, kinda tacky for a little girl, kinda looking too adultish for her,” that same person added, sharing the sentiments of many of Cate’s followers.


As another person explained it, “The reality of the situation is that you don’t know what creeps are out there looking the wrong way. Although you may not be, pedophiles and such do exist in every scenario.”


Someone called it “disgusting” for Catelynn to allow Nova to hang out like this, and another said it was “in bad taste whether it’s a girl or boy because most of us are nice but not everyone is and this is a public platform.”


Essentially, Catelynn’s comment section was divided between people who thought it was seriously inappropriate for Nova to be running around without a shirt on and people who thought it was perfectly normal.


Surprisingly not many people recognized that there was a third option: let your toddler do messy activities without clothes and then don’t share a photo of it to three million strangers on the internet.



As a fun little bonus, there was another entirely separate issue that others took with this photo — see that little aquarium in the back?


Lots of Cate’s followers told her that there wasn’t enough water in it and it needed to be cleaned, and that she was a bad pet owner for allowing her tank to get to that state.


Social media, right?


Catelynn responded briefly to both camps of outraged citizens — to the pet brigade, she explained that it’s not a tank for fish, but a tank for turtles, which is apparently a totally different setup.


And to the others, she simply wrote “she’s painting leave the kid alone.”


But, you know, it’s the internet, so that’s not going to happen.

Shannon Beador: Getting HOW Much Support Each Month from David?

Though Shannon accused David Beador of hiding money during their divorce, it was rumored that he was going to have to pay through the nose in spousal support.


A new, much more official report says that the amount ended up being less than initially reported. Still, it looks like plenty for Shannon and for her daughters.


But even that payment reduction hasn’t prevented David from allegedly retaliating in petty ways that impact his own children.



Things looked bad for the Beadors for a while — from David’s affair a few years ago to his intensely negative response to Shannon’s minor weight gain.


It was only in late 2017 that they actually took the steps to dissolve their union.


Shannon filed for divorce, because she and David had been living separate lives anyway.


But they’ve been married for a long time, and they share three teenage daughters — Sophie, Adeline, and Stella.


Even while the divorce is ongoing, David is legally obligated to make both spousal support payments and child support payments.


So … how much is Shannon getting right now?



Previously, RadarOnline had reported that Shannon Beador’s child and spousal support came in the amount of $ 30,000 per month.


That was $ 12,000 a month in child support, and $ 18,000 per month in spousal support, based upon the time that the girls spend with each parent and upon how much both parents make.


That is a lot of money, and we don’t just mean to those of us who are mere mortals. Even among the wealthiest Americans, paying this amount in support every month is definitely on the high side.


David certainly thought that the amount was high, as he was reportedly furious over it.


But it looks like, as is so often the case during a contentious divorce, the winds have shifted.



People reports that David now has to pay “only” $ 22,500 each month.


That is a tremendous amount of money in spousal and child support, but not at the level of $ 30,000.


This is a temporary payment order to ensure that Shannon and her daughters (of whom she has joint physical and legal custody) continue to live their lives until the divorce is finalized.


(It is not uncommon for the primary breadwinner in an acrimonious divorce to attempt to financially starve their soon-to-be-ex so that they cannot afford to hire a good attorney and may agree to any settlement just to receive regular payments)


David was reportedly spewing profanities at Shannon after court, which is … not a great look.


Shaking with anger, he reportedly declared that the ruling would bankrupt his business.


If you believe Shannon’s claim that he’s hiding money in order to lower the amount that he’s required to pay, then you might guess that this is all smoke and mirrors.



We mentioned earlier that he had seemed determined to retaliate.


When the court ruled that Shannon would be responsible for all of her expenses from that point forward, David reportedly shut off the water at her home.


Which, yes, means that he (allegedly) shut off the water at the house where his daughters are living. Which is just gross.


He has not commented on this allegation.


Shannon, however, refuses to openly condemn him.


“As David and I continue our divorce proceedings,” she say. “I’m doing everything I can to move things efficiently along so that our three children are not subjected to unnecessary stress during an already difficult time.”


Shannon continues, choosing her words very carefully in a way that won’t be turned against her in court. Smart woman.


“I want to be as fair as possible. I remain focused on a clean resolution and have no interest in engaging in a war of words.”



Some might ask why David would be so furious over paying for his daughters, or how anyone could be so petty as to (allegedly!) turn off the water at the home where his own children live.


To add to that, we’ve heard that David believes that Shannon is keeping his kids from him by badmouthing him.


Insiders, however, say that his children know that he cheated on their mother and have witnessed his behavior over the past couple of years, and that any resentments that they have towards their father is of his own making.


Is this kind of spiteful move over a water bill his idea of winning over his daughters? It’s hard to believe that he’s written them off as “enemies.”


We just don’t know.

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Find New Way to Scam Fans, Get So Much Hate for It

One of the big things people don’t like about Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard is that despite being on a big TV show for years, they still beg their fans for money.


That and all the bigotry, those are the two big things.



It’s just always been so bizarre, because you’d think that the money they made from the show would be more than enough to support them and all their endeavors, at least for a little while longer.


If nothing else, Jim Bob owns a fleet of private planes, it seems like he could give them a hand if they were struggling that much.


But regardless of what you’d think or how things seem, the fact remains that there have been several occasions when the Dillards reached out to their supporters for some cash assistance.


And that’s weird.


After getting lots and lots of criticism for all their GoFundMe stunts over the years, and after failing to convince people that they’re just regular missionaries and that’s how things are done, they’ve given up with the fundraisers, for now, anyway.



However, Derick did get the family fired from reality television, so you have to make ends somehow, you know?


Well, it looks like they’ve come up with a new plan!


There’s this foundation called The Tuttle Twins, and they release books for children about things like politics and history — books that the Duggars would enjoy.


As the foundation explains on its website, “Each year, hundreds of millions of children are spoon-fed false history, bad economics, and logical fallacies. Your child is not immune.”


They say their books are a way for parents to “inoculate their children against this trend to help them really grasp the importance of freedom and free markets.”



So we’re sure the books are fine and correct and not at all terrifying.


Anyway, The Tuttle Twins is holding this contest on their Facebook page where you share a picture of your kid with one of their books, and if your picture gets the most likes and shares, you win a cash prize of $ 350.


You can see where this is going, right?


Jill, who had to know that she has a massively unfair advantage with this kind of thing, entered the contest with this picture of Israel, and just to make sure she gets all those likes, she made sure she was in the photo, too.



So far, Jill has far more likes than anyone else in the contest, and there’s really no way that she won’t win.


It’s really a shame.


There are plenty of families who could legitimately use $ 350, and for Jill to take that opportunity away from those people is just sad.


And lots of people seem to agree.


“Completely unfair that this picture was allowed,” one person commented on the photo. “Until recently Jill Duggar Dillard has appeared on TLC for many years. Shame on her for using her celebrity to win a contest with money as a prize.”



Another person wrote that she shouldn’t be eligible for the contest because “no one stands a chance against her and that’s really not OK.”


“Jill Duggar is using her fame as a public figure to garner more votes for her son, which is NOT fair to all the other entrants who don’t have their names and faces plastered all over the place,” yet another Duggar critic wrote.


“Jill should withdraw her entry, and she should be disqualified.”


She should, but she won’t — instead, she’s been posting the link to the photo on her Twitter and Instagram accounts and asking everyone to “help Israel win!”


The foundation won’t intervene either, because as they explained to their many outraged followers, “We are not going to disqualify somebody merely because they have a larger social network.”



Subtext: “we are not going to disqualify somebody merely because they have a larger social network because this mess is getting us a whole lot attention and we are living for it.”


Hope Jill does something neat with that cash prize!

The Crown Controversy: Wait... Claire Foy Earned HOW MUCH?!?

The Crown may be the most critically-beloved show on all of Netflix.


But the drama is being roasted left and right at the moment for a reason that has nothing to do with what you see on screen…


And everything to do with something that happened off screen.



During a panel discussion about the series at the INTV Conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday, producers acknowledged a discrepancy between the salaries of its two stars, Claire Foy and Matt Smith.


The former portrayed Queen Elizabeth, while the latter takes on the role of her husband, Prince Philip.


Asked directly whether Foy was paid the same as Smith, producer Suzanne Mackie surprised those in attendance by answering in the negative.


No salary figures were discussed, but Mackie admitted Smith earned more for his two seasons of work than Foy.


“Going forward,” she then noted. “No one gets paid more than the Queen.”


This change, however, will not benefit Foy, earned earned an Emmy Award for her work on Season 1.


Due to a time jump for Season 3, Olivia Colman will step in as the Queen.


(Helena Bonham-Carter will play Princess Margaret and Netflix has not yet confirmed which actor will portray Prince Philip.)



In light of the ongoing #MeToo movement and the important conversation surrounding how women are treated in Hollywood, this salary difference has become a source of disgust and debate on social media.


Yes, Smith was a better known star when the series started shooting, having established himself for multiple seasons as the titular character on Dr. Who.


But Foy played THE QUEEN HERSELF on a show about… THE QUEEN.


Moreover, Foy simply appeared on screen a significant amount of time more than Smith over the show’s first two seasons.


Earlier this year, it was disclosed that Michelle Williams was paid a fraction of what her All The Money In The World co-star Mark Wahlberg earned for reshooting sections of the film.


As in: Williams was paid $ 80 per day and Wahlberg was paid $ 1.5 million total.


Once word of this discrepancy leaked out, Wahlberg agreed to donate that entire sum to charity.



The third season of The Crown, which begins filming in July, will move into the Camilla Parker Bowles years; it will also introduce a young Princess Diana.


“Those are going to be extraordinary, those episodes,” said Mackie.


But will fans keep tuning in, now that viewer favorite Foy is no longer a part of the cast?


And will this scandal have any long-term affect on the success of the series?



Mackie didn’t address these concerns or questions, instead joking around a bit when considering where else The Crown may go.


Like into very modern times, perhaps?


“I want to see an episode where [Donald Trump] comes to Buckingham Palace,” the producer said.


As for Meghan Markle?


“She can play herself.”


We’d be down with that. But Markle better get paid more than Trump for her appearance!
