Clair Foy on reports of 'The Crown' makers promising her 'back pay': ''Not quite correct"

The reports had circulated after news of Foy getting paid significantly lesser than her co-star Matt Smith became a reason for uproar among her fans.

In the wake of #TimesUp movement and several other vivid activisms pertaining to the wage gap, eventually culminating to women getting equal pay, especially in Hollywood, Netflix's 'The Crown' decided to make some drastic promises to acknowledge that. It led to reports circulating about the show's lead star Claire Foy, will be receiving back pay to rectify the difference of pay between her and her co-star, Matt Smith. Sadly, those reports have now been proven to be utterly false.

Foy busted the reports saying, its 'not quite correct.'

Back in April, The Daily Mail reported that Foy was paid £200,000 (or about $250,000) in back pay from the show’s producers, and this happened after news of her getting paid significantly lesser than her co-star Matt Smith became a reason for uproar among her fans.
