ELLEN CAUSES GREY’S ANATOMY SALARY WAR
Set spies reveal Grey’s Anatomy stalwart Ellen Pompeo has had her scenes cut in the upcoming season of the long-running medical drama due to pay disputes.
After playing Dr Meredith Grey for 17 years, Ellen, 52, announced she’s taking a “reduced role” in the coming months, but insiders maintain it’s nothing but “spin” from the actress and she didn’t have a choice. Bigwigs are said to have refused to fork out more money to have her stay in the main cast.
While she reportedly earns an eye-watering $20 million a season, US tipsters say she wanted more, forcing the network to go in a different direction with her character.
