Following outrage over the news that Mark Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million for reshoots of All The Money in the World<\/em> while his co-star Michelle Williams was paid less than $1,000<\/a>, Wahlberg has donated $1.5 to the #TimesUp campaign in Williams\u2019 name.<\/p>\n All The Money in the World<\/em> was quickly reshot with actor Christopher Plummer following a multitude of sexual abuse allegations against the movie\u2019s star Kevin Spacey.<\/p>\n Deadline reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n At the same time,\u00a0WME<\/a>, which reps Wahlberg, Williams and Scott, has also pledged $500,000 in a donation to #TimesUp.<\/p>\n Wahlberg issued this statement: \u201cOver the last few days my reshoot fee for\u00a0All The Money in the World<\/em>\u00a0has become an important topic of conversation. I 100% support the fight for fair pay and I\u2019m donating the $1.5 million to the Time\u2019s Up Legal Defense Fund in Michelle Williams\u2019 name.<\/p>\n Williams and Wahlberg are both represented by WME (William Morris Endeavor), which also released a statement:<\/p>\n \u201cThe current conversation is a reminder that those of us in a position of influence have a responsibility to challenge inequities, including the gender wage gap. In recognition of the pay discrepancy on All The Money In The World reshoots, WME is donating an additional $500,000 to the Time\u2019s Up Legal Defense Fund in Michelle Williams\u2019 name, following our $1 million pledge to the organization earlier this month. It\u2019s crucial that this conversation continues within our community and we are committed to being part of the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n Williams released a statement on Sunday in response to the donation:\u00a0\u201cToday isn\u2019t about me. My fellow actresses stood by me and stood up for me, my activist friends taught me to use my voice, and the most powerful men<\/a> in charge, they listened and they acted. If we truly envision an equal world, it takes equal effort and sacrifice. Today is one of the most indelible days of my life because of Mark Wahlberg, WME and a community of women<\/a> and men<\/a> who share in this accomplishment. Anthony Rapp, for all the shoulders you stood on, now we stand on yours.\u201d<\/p>\n Rapp\u2019s accusation of sexual abuse against Spacey in October prompted dozens of others to come out with their own claims of assault against Spacey, triggering the reshoots on All the Money<\/em>.<\/p>\n Rapp responded to Williams\u2019 statement on Saturday, tweeting: \u201cI\u2019m very moved by Michelle Williams\u2019 kind words.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m very moved by Michelle Williams\u2019 kind words.<\/p>\n \u2014 Anthony Rapp (@albinokid) January 14, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The post Mark Wahlberg Donates $1.5 Million to #TimesUp Movement in Michelle Williams\u2019 Name<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
