Demi Moore Says $12.5 Million ‘Striptease’ Salary Wasn’t About Being Compared to Bruce Willis: ‘If I’m Doing the Same Amount of Work, Why Shouldn’t I’ Be Paid?

> “Well, with ‘Striptease,’ it was as if I had betrayed women, and with ‘G.I. Jane,’ it was as if I had betrayed men,” Moore said. “But I think the interesting piece is that when I became the highest-paid actress — why is it that, at that moment, the choice was to bring me down? I don’t take this personally. I think anyone who had been in the position that was the first to get that kind of equality of pay would probably have taken a hit. But because I did a film that was dealing with the world of stripping and the body, I was extremely shamed.”

NGL, half the time I’d put that VHS on, I’d end up watching the whole movie. Great cast, and it has great comedic parts as well.
