I guess she can clean up at the Dollar Store .
One of the biggest issues of the ongoingstrike by the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artistsis unfair streaming residuals.
Earlier this summer,Kimiko Glennrevealedhow much money she makes in residual payments for her role as Brook Soso onOrange Is the New Black. She was on 44 episodes between 2013 and 2019.
In a viral TikTok, sheshowed herresidual check for a whopping $27.30.
As this person said, that’s barely enough for a Netflix subscription.
This is noteworthybecause mostreality showcontestants don’t receive any residual money at all, even though their shows are widely screened on streamers.
That said, we learned about one reality show that gave contestants residual payments, and that show wasAmerica’s Next Top Modelduring the “All-Stars” season.
Isis King is one of the most iconic contestants onTop Model.
She first appeared on Season 11 in 2008 as the franchise’s first transgender woman contestant.
Then she appeared on Season 17, which was the All-Stars season.
Isis shared a residual check that she recently received from the show, and yeah, it’s not much!

A whopping $5.12.
Isis pointed out that to her knowledge, the All-Stars season was the only season ofTop Modelwhere the girls received residuals.
Yup it was the only time of year that paid the models to my discernment
People were obviously surprised by how little the contestants got paid.
Wow . I thought they got paid for the show.https://t.co/q9sQlImQW7
