Nia Long Fights Lionsgate Over Film Pay

Nia Long is reportedly engaged in a financial dispute with Lionsgate concerning her compensation for the film 'Michael'. According to sources, Long's contract included a 'favored nations' clause, which is intended to guarantee equal pay among leading actors. However, it is alleged that Colman Domingo and Miles Teller were paid more than Long.

As a result, the actress is reportedly considering mediation with the studio. While Long's character, Katherine Jackson, the mother of Michael Jackson, has a limited presence in the film, earlier drafts of the script apparently featured a more substantial role for her, including a key scene at the film's conclusion.
