Arden Cho Speaks Up About Race Inequality in Hollywood

Posted by Leticia, 20 Jul

Arden Cho, who played Kira in the well-known Teen Wolf series, spoke up about her experience and how she was paid half of her other female co-stars earned per episode.

The story became public when Cho turned down the opportunity to reprise her role as Kira in the upcoming Paramount movie. She was motivated to make this decision after she learned from a third party that she was paid half of what her other female co-stars were earning per episode.

The famous actress did not leak the story revealing in a new interview with The Cut, "I probably would've never shared it. I think I was offered even less!"

Arden Cho was introduced in the third season as a Thunder Kitsune and was unexpectedly cut from the show in the fifth season.

She commented that she would rather not reveal how she discovered the unequal pay and added, "I appreciate artists who are a little bit more transparent because they realize that we're all important."

E! News contacted MTV and Paramount+ for a statement about the situation but had no answer back.

The well-known actress is in a better position (role-wise) where she is comfortable enough to turn down jobs if they don't sit right with her. "I wasn't saying 'no' necessarily for me or because I was angry. I was saying 'no' because I hope that there will be more equality in the future," she voiced.

We are sure she isn't the first Asian-American actor who has experienced inequality. Speaking with The Cut, she commented, "I could probably, off the top of my head, think of over 10 Asian-American actors I know who were paid significantly less than their counterparts.

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
