While discussing the first days of the show, Pompeo pointed out that Dempsey, who photographed Dr. Derek Sheberd, initially earned more than – although the show that is focused on her personality.
“He did 13 pilots in front of me. Nothing for him, only in general, only a man who can have 13 failed pilots and continue their quotation rising, right?” I noticed.
However, she quickly added, “But in all fairness, his quote was what it was.
Pompeo explained that her frustration was not with Dempsey himself, but rather that the network reduces assessing its contribution to the show.
“I was not salty about getting what he got. I was salty because they could not appreciate me as much as they could,” she explained.
“I see exactly how much Gray’s Anatomy is manufactured by ABC/Disney. I have to see the number. It’s my face, it’s my voice … I am a princess of Disney in this privilege.”
As expected, Pompeo’s comments ignited a hot online discussion. While some supported it to publicly talk about the wage of wages in Hollywood, others accused her of taking an unnecessary blow in Dempsey.
Critics on X (previously Twitter) described her comments as “bitter”, with a single user claim, “No one was before this offer, and this offer made her rich and famous … Diss Patrick was not needed.”

“I never want anything I do Gray Anatomy.
“It is my face, it’s my voice. I have done a lot of work to promote the presentation around the world over the past twenty years. I am a Disney princess in this privilege, so I have data for copying. I know that the offer has led to a lot of money; I definitely deserve a percentage of that.”
When asked about the feeling of what I felt returned after securing her historic salary of $ 20 million, Pompeo remembered a note who celebrated her race – who remained silent.
“I was ready for this because of his comment, but what I saw is the people who did not say anything,” she said.
