Ellen Pompeo, after 21 seasons on "Grey's Anatomy," reveals her dissatisfaction with low residuals from streaming platforms. In a recent interview, she articulates her feelings regarding the exploitation of her likeness and voice without adequate compensation. Despite this, she finds fulfillment in the connections her character Meredith Grey has facilitated with viewers during their difficult moments. Currently, she has scaled back her role to a supporting character while also taking on producing responsibilities. Through this transition, she aims to acknowledge and support the emotional experiences of her fans.
"Them having the ability to use my voice, my likeness, my image, 47 billion minutes a year and not paying me a penny wouldn't really feel great to me."
"That, to me, is really shitty and really unfair. So, me being on the show a little bit and still getting to at least make money from them profiting off of us is more digestible for me."
"I've had the chance to meet and shake hands and hug so many young people... If that brings people some comfort, then I guess that's something I want to say I'm called to do."
"I'm trying to embrace it with as much grace and gratitude as I can."
