Jeremy Renner Clears Up Those Gender Pay Gap Comments

Jeremy Renner clears up those gender pay gap remarks.

  • Jeremy Renner goes to social media to clear up those pay gap comments and supports Jennifer Lawrence.

  • Renner calls out media for misconstruing his comments

  • “A person should be rewarded only by their merit or service to their given field. Gender, race, creed, or sexual orientation should have absolutely no influence in pay, positively or negatively.” – Jeremy Renner

Jeremy Renner has decided to speak to his fans, supporters, and haters through social media to clarify his remarks he previously made in regards to the gender pay equality debate creatd by his American Hustle co-star Jennifer Lawrence.

“On the issue of gender equality I have always supported women deserving equal pay. Period,” Renner wrote on WhoSay. “A person should be rewarded only by their merit or service to their given field. Gender, race, creed, or sexual orientation should have absolutely no influence in pay, positively or negatively.”

Earlier this week, Jeremy Renner was interviewed by Business Insider about whether he would be willing to negotiate his pay alongside his female co-stars in the future. Jeremy Renner ended up saying it was not his job to do that and he has to focus on acting.

The question came following an open letter written by Jennifer Lawrence, tackling the issue of the gender gap in Hollywood, and in particular the fact she got paid less than her “American Hustle” co-stars, a detail that was revealed following the Sony data hack.

Jeremy Renner’s response made him seem like he didnt’ care about women’s rights, which pissed a lot of people off.

Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper endorsed Jennifer Lawrence’s comments and said that he is willing to take a pay cut in order to make sure actresses are fairly compensated.
