Mark Wahlberg Donates $1.5M to Time’s Up in Michelle Williams’ Name
Mark Wahlberg donated $1.5 million to the Time’s Up movement in Michelle Williams’ name after pay gap controversy.
The star posted to Instagram to share the news of his donation. There was backlash over news that Mark Wahlberg earned $1.5 million for extensive reshoots on All The Money In The World while his costar Michelle Williams received only $80 per day. Certain scenes had to be reshot as Kevin Spacey was supposed to play J. Paul Getty, but had to be recast because of sexual allegations made against him.
Wahlberg’s agency William Morris Endeavor Company is also making a donation of $500,000. USA Today revealed the announcement of the pay gap this past week. To donate to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fun, which will provide subsidized legal support to women and men in all industries who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace, visit its GoFundMe page.
