Then why did she sign the contract?

So, she states she wasn't concerned with what she was paid but holds the studio at fault for not paying her more.

If my neighbor gets a better deal on a car than me, is that the car dealer's fault?

I declare war on the war on women!

    No one should care, but the problem is the uninformed, low-information voter hears this pap and believes that's there's actually a war on women.

    For too long, we've mistakenly assumed that people will know this sort of thing is crap, but they don't. Who would have ever thought thinking humans could be made to believe that the climate only started to change with the industrial revolution or that criticizing the President is racist or that the GOP was waging a war on women?

    We must nuke this sort of drivel the moment it's uttered.

    Who gives a rat's ass what she says?
    She's an actress. She lies for a living, gets paid a fortune, and gets adulation by millions of teen age boys.
    Put her remarks in the same category with those if ALL other professional liars.
    And we are supposed to have sympathy?
    And we are supposed to think she should be listened to as if she has some wisdom?
    Here is the truth:
    "It's been a rough year for the actress, but at least she has her millions of dollars to ease the pain. 29-year-old Amanda Seyfried has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid actresses for 2015 with an estimated $46 million in combined earnings."

    or taxpayers chastized for refusing to buy second rate GMC products? Being known as the triple dot girl must have some publicity value. Streep should have got ten times as much as the rest of the cast. She carried that movie.

    I'm still trying to remember what part she played in Mama Mia? Since I have that movie I'll have to correct that before commenting. If it was the daughter she wasn't worth 5% of Meryl Streeps. There must have been a SAG system in effect...
    I just took a pause to check. Best i can say is she isn't bankable star quality but then I haven't seen the other movies. I remember thinking at the time she might have been hired because of being someone's kid or maybe streeps daughter in real life.

    The other comment is get a better agent and quit making excuses.

    Maybe she needs to read Trump's "The Art of the Deal" and learn how to negotiate.

    Sheesh...Nobody forced her to 1) Read for the part, and 2) sign the contract.

    Why did she sign indeed! No doubt she should hold out for ten times as much in her next job...if there is a next job.

    I don't care who you are, you are only worth what someone is willing to pay you. Talk about bitching after the fact"

    I thought actors were offered for what they would bring to the film as well as for their fit or talent...If you sign a big name, then you automatically get their 'fans and friends' coming to your movie.

    The proverbial death knell in the Movie Industry is, "...difficult to work with..." I think this actress (who I do not know) is likely to acquire that label.

    If a grocery store in your town charges $1.00 for a doz. eggs, and another charges $1.29 for a doz. should the consumer be chastised for choosing to buy the lower cost eggs?___ So why should a movie producer be chastised for choosing to use an actress that was willing to do the part for a lower amount of compensation?
