Setting a precedent. Shameless alum Emmy Rossum didn’t expect her fight for equal pay on the Showtime series to make such a splash — but she’s happy it did.
The 35-year-old actress looked back on her battle against wage disparity in a cover story for The Hollywood Reporter published on Wednesday, May 11. When asked about the sticky topic, Rossum joked, “I actually have to pee. I’m not avoiding the question. I just really have to go.”
After playfully dancing around the issue, Rossum dove into a candid conversation about her 2016 contract negotiation. “I certainly was never trying to make any kind of grand political statement,” she told the outlet. “I was only trying to do what felt right.”
The New York native starred as Fiona Gallagher, the eldest child of Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy), for nine seasons of the acclaimed drama. Though her character was often front and center, she received a fraction of what Macy, 72, was paid. In late 2016, Rossum threatened to leave Shameless behind if she wasn’t offered more money than Macy.
“The idea of not continuing on Shameless was not one I ever wanted to entertain,” she told THR. “So when it all worked out, I was thrilled — thrilled my small victory was part of a much larger tide. But my story is not unique. It was just public. Wage disparity becomes even more pronounced when you factor in age, race, body size and orientation.”
When the Beautiful Creatures star’s contract standoff initially made headlines, Macy supported her efforts for equal pay. “To have the man counterpart on my show be like, ‘Yes, she does deserve this and more’ was so validating,” she previously told THR in June 2017. “And after it became public, it was a quick resolution.”

As depicted from a nearly unrecognizable Rossum (who’s buried beneath a platinum bouffant, fake chest and Minnie Mouse voice), Angelyne’s aesthetic is part Dolly Parton, part Barbie. The show compares her to a prototype of figures who are “famous for being famous” such as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
