Leakes said firmly: “I don’t get a penny for all of those memes you see out there.'
The Big Picture For the first time in 60 years, SAG-AFTRA have joined the WGA on strike, as the unions protest issues such as fair pay and protection against AI. However, former Real Housewife of New York Bethenny Frankel recently called for the unionization of reality TV stars, advocating for a strike as she spoke of a lack of residual payments, regardless of how successful a reality show may become.
Frankel recently called for reality television stars to join in the strike action, saying, "I have never made a single residual... So either I'm missing something, or we're getting screwed too." The original Real Housewives of New York star revealed she was paid only $7,250 for the show's first season, but hadn't received any further compensation despite the show's massive success.
Speaking via social media, Leakes said, "Bethenny has an advantage that I do not have…[she] can say things and people will get it and they’ll understand it. For a very long time I have said that there is a lot of unfair treatment in different areas of the reality workspace." She added: “Reality stars do not receive benefits….[not] any health benefits, any residuals. There’s no union for reality stars…the way your likeness is used over and over and over again and you don’t get one red penny. I don’t get a penny for all of those memes you see out there.”Memes Don't Pay The Bills In reference to her large catalog of popular memes, Leakes said that a reality star's likeness can be used "for years", and they would see no further compensation for it.
Of studios' mistreatment of reality stars, Frankle said "Just because you can, as a streamer or a network, play show as much as you want, doesn’t mean you should. Meaning, yes, they’re going to get as much milk out of the cows as they could because it’s legal. We signed a contract. Does it mean we should be exploited? It means when you get a ratings bump or something happens, you should share. Networks and streamers have been exploiting people for too long.
