Michelle Williams can’t believe it’s been less than a year since “the pay stuff”. Time has seemingly accelerated since last October when, while shooting the comic book movie Venom, the unimaginable began to happen: Titans of her industry started to fall under #MeToo.

Then months later, after reshoots for All The Money In The World, which were hurriedly completed to remove scenes featuring one of the accused, Kevin Spacey, Williams became the centre of a very public controversy over a vast pay discrepancy between herself and her co-star Mark Wahlberg. She was paid less than US$1,000 (RM4,148). He got US$1.5mil (RM6.2mil).
