Ellen Pompeo says when news of her $575,000-an-episode Grey’s Anatomy salary broke, her manager warned her to get ready to be unpopular

Quick Summary:

Ellen Pompeo reflected that she hadn't considered her success wouldn't be celebrated by her peers.

Her sentiments were echoed by Cooper, who herself was subject to scrutiny when it was revealed she had signed at least a $60m contract to move her podcast from Barstool to Spotify.

That was good prep for me because it's true that not everybody—and other women have said [this] publicly—like generally it's hard for people to celebrate other people if they have something that resembles something they want".
