Barbra Streisand says she’s still “pissed off” over the salary she earned for starring in the “Meet the Parents” film series.
In a new interview with Variety, the actor claimed that she was paid less than her co-stars. She told the outlet that she won’t likely return for the franchise’s upcoming fourth movie due to the alleged unfair pay.
“Oh my God. They’d have to pay me a lot of money because I didn’t get paid what the other people got paid and so I’m pissed off,” Streisand replied after being asked if she would reprise her role as Roz Focker in the untitled film, which is set to release in 2026.
“I was in the time when women were getting paid less than the men,” she added in the interview published Monday. “The head of Universal was Ron Meyer at the time, and he actually sent me a bonus check. It was very sweet.”
Reps for Universal did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
