For those that don't know, she is suing Disney for breach of contract because some of her income from the Black Widow was to come from the box office and she is upset Disney released it on Disney+ at the same time hurting box office revenue. Nevermind that Covid completely changed the way media has been distributed for the past 18 months.

It's funny how all of these rich celebs carry the water for socialism and welfare until it comes to their pocketbook.

She’s not wrong in this instance.

She’s one I really don’t care to hear speak unless her tits are in my face.

And even then it’s not like I’m listening.

Well, she isn't an employee of Disney so you are wrong there. They had a business relationship to profit share and she is upset she didn't get her fair share which is 100% Capitalism.

In this context how can you not see it as anything else? Its not like she is suing for workers comp.

She has to get that last superhero cash grab since she’s been killed off.

Well thought out retort.

Are you obtuse or retarded because that is exactly the case. Disney isn't sending her a W2 and inviting her to the company retreat. She is a business partner for the sake of the movie and I bet she is paid under her LLC.

If you don't understand how Hollywood contracts work for A-list actors then I can't help you.

Hope you work a 9-5 because god help you if you run a business and fail to understand how subcontracting and/or business relationships and contracts work.

It's obvious that you know I am correct and you are wrong but instead of admitting defeat you post emoticons and silly attempts to downplay how ignorant you are.

Carry on.

Where’s your proof that SJ has ever “carried the water for socialism”? I know a lot of Hollywood people aren’t liked by this board because of their opinions, but based on this article:

Scarlett Johansson: Actors should focus on acting and stop making political statements

I’d think she wouldn’t be a target. Either way, your thread doesn’t really belong on this board and really shouldn’t be on any board. Kind of a weird reach here.

Why does she want people to die?

(What the media would be asking if she were Republican)

you aren't making a good faith argument. i made a point and you decide to engage in semantics then claim victory after i chose not to participate.
