Actress Paula Jai Parker, best known for her roles in “Friday”, “Hustle & Flow,” and the animated series, “The Proud Family,” is highly pissed after receiving her recent earnings from SAG. So was comedian/actress, Luenell, who also revealed her SAG earnings. And quite frankly, after seeing just how much — or rather, how little — they earned, we definitely understand where they’re coming from.

Paula Jai Parker And Luenell Blast SAG Over Minuscule Check

A few weeks ago, Paula decided to share with the world exactly how tiny her weekly SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Film Artists) checks are, and tiny is damn near an understatement, unfortunately. Matter of fact, you know the saying that ‘it must make dollars and sense’? Well, when it comes to Paula’s check, it apparently skipped clean over the ‘dollars’ part and jumped straight to ‘cents’…literally.

“The Hustle and Flow” and “Friday” veteran revealed that she got paid a whopping $0.78 cents! Nah, that is not a typo folks. She really received a $0.78 check from SAG-AFTRA, via Bank of America…and to prove it, she shared a pic of her check on social media. In doing so, she also, shared how she felt about it:

“#SAG is this how you treat your #NAACP NOMINEES? I can’t pay my dues let alone rent with this…100+ projects and this is what I’m worth 🧘🏾‍♂️😕 #DoBetter” – Paula Jai Parker

As you noticed, Paula mentioned that she was a recent NAACP nominee, which she’d just shared news of online shortly before receiving her tiny check from SAG-AFTRA. The reason she’s nominated is because homegirl is still out here doin’ the damn thing in the acting game…she’s just not getting her just-due when it comes to her pocketbook…at least not from SAG-AFTRA, that is. However, the popular animated series Paula does voice-over work for, “The Proud Family: Louder And Prouder,” was nominated for two 2024 NAACP Awards.

For what it’s worth, it must of at least been comforting for Paula to know she is not alone in her SAG-check struggle. After she took to social media to vent about her SAG-AFTRA check, comedian/actress, Luenell, commented underneath Paul’s post to let her now they are both in the same struggle, writing:

“See Paula, I already made a post like this … was about 15 checks that added up to about $96.00🤔”-Luenell

Wow. So, as we all can see from Luenell’s and Paula’s transparency… two things are abundantly clear– fame does not always equate to dollars; and in Hollywood it’s no secret that oftentimes Black actresses unfortunately get far less respect in the game.

Well here’s one many weren’t expecting. We’re throwing back to 2017, to that time when comedian/actress, Luenell- best known for her many stand-up shows and appearances in films, such as Think Like A Man and Think Like A Man Too- had a message for all of us. She is 63 and gives zero you-know-whats about what anyone has to say about her! That message was clear in her nude photo spread for Penthouse Magazine’s 2017 ‘April Fool’s Edition.’ Everyone from fans, to naysayers, to celebs, like Arsenio Hall, had something to say about it…

*Throughout this article, we’re showing the censored photos of Luenell, but you can see the corresponding uncensored links underneath each photo.*

See the uncensored pic here.

Luenell shook up the internet when she dropped a few of her nude and semi-nude pics onto her Instagram and Twitter timelines. Along with her photos, she explained why she decided to pose nude at this point in her life. In one caption she explained to women over 50, that “It’s not over ladies, not even close. Embrace your inner centerfold and live your life like its golden!”

See the above uncensored pic here.

She further broke down why she did the shoot and how she got the gig of being the first over 50 full-figured African American woman in the magazine:

Via Black America Web: “I already had a relationship with Penthouse where I directed a photoshoot from them and I guess out of the side of my mouth, I said you guys ought to shoot me. I said if you do you’d be the first adult magazine to have shot an over 50 woman of a certain color. I’m very pleased with the turnout. They aren’t vulgar or offensive,” [Luenell] said.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE SEE ARSENIO’S SHOCKING REACTION & WHY LUENELL WENT OFF

For one of Luenell’s Instagram nudes, she went OFF on Instagram, for taking down one of her Penthouse shots (which we later found on her Twitter page…see it here), but allowing the many other females on IG to bend it over and spread it wide for all the world to see:

See the above uncensored pic here.

Arsenio Hall’s Reaction:

Arsenio Hall was one of the first celebs to publicly speak about Luenell’s nude photo spread during his Tom Joyner interview. He shocked the hell outta everybody with his honesty too. Arsenio said he LOVED Luenelle’s nude pics so much, that at that time, he’d changed his Twitter profile pic to her nude back shot and he also revealed that he got busy with her nude photo…he explains below:

Arsenio on Luenelle’s nude spread: “I Love it! I pleased myself to Luenelle this morning. […] If Luenell is nude before the first day of spring, it’s going to be a Nubian New Year.” He continued, “When I first saw the pictures, one tear came out of my eye (like Denzel in Glory) and I went to my bedroom alone … she did it for me.”

Luenelle is a fabulous thicky-thickum sista and all, but Arsenio, bruh…that’s a lil’ bit TMI (too much information)…LOL. Wait, Arsenio had more to say…

When asked if there was anything he was surprised about when viewing Luenell’s nude pics, Arsenio lightheartedly gave his honest opinion: “I expected her to have a higher a$$…She got plenty of a$$, but it don’t have that altitude I was looking for…I loved the touch of graffiti on her back, it looked like the old Fresh Prince logo.”

Fan Reactions:

Luenell’s fans were also flippin’ out when they opened up their Instagram and Twitter news feeds and landed on a smiling Luenell posing all sexy-like. The reactions were mostly ‘You go girls’ and ‘Big ups,’ mixed in with a few ‘Nuh-uh’ and ‘Hell naw’ type of comments in between. But either way, Luenell was embracing it all and we love it! When one fan came at her for posing nude, she responded in a classy way:

Fan’s backlash…

Luenell admitted that she was surprised that her statements were a big deal, however, she stands by what she said.

In a very candid interview, Luenell expressed her disappointment with Leakes claiming that she was a comedian. The legendary woman shared that Nene has made a living off of bullying people and being mean to them on reality tv. To Luenell, being a comedian on stage is an art form that takes years to perfect. She felt insulted that Nene Leakes’name appeared next to hers on billboards.

See the video what else the comedian had to say about Leakes back in August. And what happened the night Luenell rolled up on Nene!
