Mark Wahlberg got Shamed into Giving up His Earnings

When Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World required reshoots because Kevin Spacey's character was now replaced with Christopher Plummer, Mark Wahlberg negotiated for a pay raise to do the reshoots while Michelle Williams decided to work for the minimum for the reshoots.  So Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million for the reshoots and Williams got like $1,000.  But because Williams and the public made a big deal about it, like it was gender inequality, Wahlberg is now donating his pay to Time's Up Legal Defense Fund in her name. 
Guys, Williams chose to film the reshoots for less.  Williams and Wahlberg are both managed by the same company, WME.  He treated it like overtime while she didn't.  I mean, who wants to work for free?  But nooo, when she disclosed her earnings, there was a public outcry about the pay difference. It had nothing to do with gender inequality if one actor chose to basically volunteer for the reshoots.  Wahlberg got bullied into donating his newly earned wages, which is unfair.  He's the victim and she is the bully, along with the press who thought she was in the right.
