Fans are supporting the fact that their favourite celebrity is getting the pay she deserves. A fan responded to the initial netizen remarking about her salary by saying that she has a list of awards. Similar to the cast of Friends, who were paid about the same amount as she is currently, they too won numerous awards.

Netizens are defending Zendaya as others scrutinise her requesting for more pay. This netizen states that fans should not look up to celebrities as good hearted leftists. They too, for obvious reasons would want more money.
The netizen then accused the actress of having the same mindset as a Wall Street banker. A fan defended the actress saying that it is actually normal for actresses to renegotiate their contracts after a period of time.
It’s easy for fans to forget that celebrities are also human beings with needs and desires, which includes the desire for fair compensation.
Zendaya is a talented actress with an impressive list of achievements, and her role as a main character in the popular HBO Go series underscores her importance to the show’s success. As such, it’s understandable that she would seek appropriate compensation for her work.
