The Offer
Haddish, 41, opened up to Variety about the Recording Academy’s offer to host the three-hour live streamed event.
Haddish was asked to host without any form of compensation what so ever. On top of this, she was expected to cover her hair, make up, and wardrobe.
“All of that would have to come out of my pocket,” she said. “I don’t know if this might mean I might not get nominated ever again, but I think it’s disrespectful.”
The Premiere Ceremony Haddish was asked to host, airs before the main show and is thrown by a non-profit instead of a network. A representative told Variety that all past hosts and presenters have not been paid.
While Haddish was grateful for the chance, the star felt she deserved better.
“I was like, ‘The exposure is amazing, but I think I have enough,’” she continued. “I appreciate you guys asking. And as much as I appreciate the honor of being nominated, that’s not okay.”
