We already know not to cross Robin Wright’s character Claire Underwood in the Netflix series “House of Cards,” but it looks like you shouldn’t do it to her in real life, either.
“I was looking at the statistics and Claire Underwood’s character was more popular than for a period of time, so I capitalized on it. I was like, ‘You better pay me or I’m going to go public,'” Wright said.
In a profile for the United Airlines in-flight magazine Rhapsody, Wright revealed that the pay equity never happened.
“I don’t think I’m getting paid the same amount. They told me I was getting a raise. But… I don’t think so,” Wright said.
According to the production company behind “House of Cards,” Media Rights Capital, it’s not possible for Wright and Spacey to earn the same pay because Spacey is one of the founding producers of the show.
Instead, Wright has been given an executive producer credit and opportunities to direct episodes.
“I really don’t like being duped,” Wright told Rhapsody.
