Ellen Pompeo was moved by the reaction to her stunningly frank discussion of her Grey’s Anatomy salary

Pompeo told Jimmy Kimmel she was initially “nervous” about The Hollywood Reporter article on becoming "TV's $20 Million Woman." Pompeo said she was worried she would get in trouble because “I have quite a big mouth and I’m honest to a fault, which in print can get you in trouble sometimes.” She added: “I’m grateful that it was received in the way in which I intended it to be, which was as an empowering story for woman and to also, you know, be very honest about my faults and my shortcomings.”
