In emphasizing the importance of being proud of his financial independence, Reese recalled a time when a 21-year-old daughter Ava returned home from her second year in tears because her classmates told her that her mother is “one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood”, making Ava feel “so ashamed”.
Reese shared: “I said, ‘Never be ashamed of a woman who makes money.’ There are women all over the world who have no opportunity, neither education, nor the ability to earn money, and the more women who earn more money, the more money they will donate, they will take care of their societies, they will take care of their communities they will do more with that money. feel bad that your mom makes money, and never feel bad if you make money, and don’t feel embarrassed or embarrassed if you are more than your partner. “
The actress, who has become a prolific Hollywood producer, concluded by saying that she has “an interesting relationship with the word power, and all I can think of is that I hope that in my life I can help more women make more money. Financial stability it’s freedom. “
This is not the first time that Reese talks about the importance of changing the way society talks about wage inequality. In a December 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said she was confused about why it seemed “uncomfortable” to some people that she earned $ 2 million per episode to star in Apple TV + The Morning Show.
