Most of her fans were thrilled to come to her defense as to why she deserves to get a pay raise.
"Let's be honest nobody would have carried this show or the character Rue better that Zendaya," one of her fans Elizabeth Jude shared.
"I'm sorry but she deserves it, she's the only one who's bringing the Emmy every single time," another fan Lola Vallet mentioned.
It is indeed a win for her on her new salary given that one of the actors in the same show, Sydney Sweeney cast as "Cassie Howard" felt that actors nowadays are not being paid as they used to be.
"They don't pay actors like they used to and with streamers you no longer get residuals. The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5% to my lawyer, 10% to my agents, and 3% to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month and that's more than my mortgage," Sydney explained.
HBO has started its production of the third season which is also rumored to be the last season of the series.
One of the cast members Barbie Ferreira cast as "Kat Hernandez" will not be appearing in the third season after it was speculated that she had a feud with one of the creators Sam Levinson.
