'If I couldn't get pay equity after [Crazy Rich Asians], I can't imagine what it would be like for anyone else,' Lim said.
Adele Lim, co-writer of the 2018 hit rom-com Crazy Rich Asians, has left the upcoming Warner Bros. project due to an alleged pay disparity with her white male counterpart. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the veteran television writer and producer, who worked on shows such as One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected, was offered a significantly lower starting fee than co-writer Peter Chiarelli to work on the Crazy Rich Asians sequel.
ADVERTISEMENT She declined to provide specific numbers, but according to sources who spoke with THR, the Chinese Malaysian screenwriter was offered approximately $110,000—about one-tenth of the $800,000 to $1 million offered to Chiarelli, a white man. When Warner Bros. explained to Lim’s representatives that those figures were “industry-standard established ranges based on experience and that making an exception would set a troubling precedent in the business,” she naturally quit.
"Pete has been nothing but incredibly gracious, but what I make shouldn't be dependent on the generosity of the white-guy writer," Lim said to The Hollywood Reporter."If I couldn't get pay equity after CRA, I can't imagine what it would be like for anyone else, given that the standard for how much you're worth is having established quotes from previous movies, which women of color would never have been [hired for].
