'I stand with Adele!'
"Crazy Rich Asians" director Jon Chu spoke out Monday in a lengthy open letter about one of the movie's writers, Adele Lim, leaving the sequel due to equal pay disputes.
He added that by the time the offer had increased with other concessions, it was too late and Lim had already declined. He also completely agrees with Lim that equal pay for genders and persons of color is"crucial" as Hollywood continues to grow and change in the era of #MeToo. It’s been a week. My gratitude to the countless people who voiced their support. To people going through their own fight - you are not alone. Also, I have only love for @jonmchu and the cast & crew of #CRA. It was/is a movement and I’ll always root for its continued success ❤️
