Janet Mock expressed frustration at Pose underpaying her at the show's final season in-person premiere

“F*ck Hollywood,” Mock said early on in her Thursday night address to the audience, which lasted about 15 minutes, according to The Daily Beast's Kevin Fallon. She demanded to know why she was only paid $40,000 an episode for her work on the show. As Fallon notes, "her speech ended on a note of accountability, and that meant piercing through the talking points, the ones tied up in a bow about inclusivity, opportunity, and progress that have been served to the media over the last three seasons." “That sounds good, right?” she said. “It makes you comfortable, me talking like that. Because then I don't scare you into facing the f*cking truth: You all have stomped on us.”
