shocking enough, hate now come despite the fact both actors are represented by the same agency, the williams morrism actually negotiated that hefty one and a half million dollars fee while williams wasn't told a thing about it. i presume nor was her agent. i mean i don't know. the pair worked to reshoot the film again after kevin spacey was pulled and replay by christopher plumber the director said the actor doctors the reshoot for free. so did he not know any of this? >> but what power would he have had he doesn't pay them. he's just the direct. he said "no. they all came in for free "christopher had to get paid because you know he was new to the project but michelle, no. me, no. i wouldn't do that. mark key mark wahlberg would. the news is s backlash. jessica chastain tweeted would anyone like to clarify? i really hope with everything c coming to light she was paid fairly. i think the check has already been written. she also encouraged peopling to see the movie saying williams deserved to earn more than 1% of her co-star's salary. this pay difference comes to light as the entertainment industry c

williams and wahlberg are both represented by william morris endeavor. neither the agency nor its stars have responded to requests for comment. >> i was told she was aware of the disparity. did she agree because what she was facing a choice of do it for this month or there will be no movie. >> reporter: last month director ridley scott told "usa today" everyone did the reshoots for nothing. in previous interviews williams said she was willing to waive her salary to save the film. >> i've just been heartsick for weeks thinking about how this thing that we loved making was going to be all for naught. >> reporter: many now asking if "all the money" should have given more to its female co-star. kristen dahlgren, nbc news, new york. >>> still ahead, the teacher making national headlines after video showed a law officer handcuffing her. tonight, she speaks to us exclusively. >>> also, the growing anger over the nightmare pile-up at major airports. >>> we're back now with our exclusive interview with the teacher in that video that's been sparking some outrage.

however, although they each have the same agency, the william morris endeavour agency, it seems thatthe reshoot. that news just came out. i think it was jessica chastain who first tweeted about it. in the last four days since it came out, not only has warburg said that he would put the £1.5 million into the #metoo defence tea m £1.5 million into the #metoo defence team for women, but the agency itself is also putting in £500,000, and they had already put in £1 million, so, altogether, because of all of this and it all coming out, the legal defence fund for women all around the world, actually, it is not just for hollywood around the world, actually, it is notjust for hollywood has gained £3 million. that is good. i think the key thing is that people have known about these discrepancies for many yea rs about these discrepancies for many years but now, whenever it is being made public, everybody wants to be seen made public, everybody wants to be seen to be doing the right thing and thatis seen to be doing the right thing and that is progress. i think you're putting it very diplomatica
