Orange Is The New Black Star Kimiko Glenn Reveals Netflix Only Paid Her $27 For A Whole YEAR!

Kimiko Glenn is opening up about her Orange Is the New Black pay amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike — and it’s starting to sound like copper is the new green. (In other words, gurl got PENNIES instead of dollars!) As you’ve probably heard, the Screen Actors Guild AND the Writers Guild of America have gone on strike, shutting down Hollywood as the talent both in front of and behind the camera advocate for fair pay and better working conditions.

The biggest issue is the changing landscape in the wake of streaming and digital. Before you assume all actors are too well-paid to complain, just listen to what the OITNB star actually got paid despite dedicating YEARS of her life to the acclaimed streaming hit.

Over the weekend, the 34-year-old shared a SHOCKING look at the amount of money she’s received in residual checks.

The way TV used to work, you’d get paid a certain amount for your work on the show, but the real money was if the show was a HIT.

Because every time it aired afterward, you got paid a small amount again. So guest appearances on Friends and Seinfeld were a much bigger payday than, say, Veronica’s Closet, even at SAG minimums.
