A film spokesperson stated, "Reports of pay disparity between Cynthia and Ariana are completely false and based on internet fodder. The women received equal pay for their work."
Many were shocked at the alleged pay disparity, with TikTok users commenting, 'Cynthia should've gotten paid the most. It's sad that [women of colour] get paid the least in showbiz.'
The film has had immense success, grossing nearly $165 million worldwide during its opening weekend, becoming the highest-grossing musical adaptation.
Despite rumors claiming differing salaries, Universal's spokesperson emphasized, 'There are no sources for these rumors. Both stars earned the same amount for their performances.'
