The campaign of Me Too forced to review in Hollywood the existing order of distribution of fees and payment of the contract, without regard to what you are sex and sexual orientation, betting only on the talent and your importance for the picture. Under the sights of the activists of the movement Time's Up came the series "Crown" and contracts of the stars, with the indicated figures of their salaries. It turned out that the actor Matt Smith receives significantly more than his colleague in the filming of Claire Foy. The scandal broke out serious, from Smith demanded to give a difference in the fees for charity, and to be more precise, the fund of the campaign Me Too!
Producers of the series about the life of the monarchs in Britain were forced to intervene in the scandal and voice their attitude to the problem that arose the difference of fees and apologize to the actress:
"We, the producers of Left Bank Pictures, apologize to actors Matt Smith and Claire Foy for the situation. Bearing responsibility for drawing up the budget of the series and distributing the actors' fees, we adhered to the principles of respect and gender equality. None of the actors know how many his colleagues receive, so it is unacceptable to assign responsibility for the difference in fee. We have great respect for the idea of equal pay and try to resolve the conflict, based on the workload and other indicators of the formation of the patch. "
