Vivica A. Fox hasn't experienced the same mistreatment in Hollywood that Taraji P. Henson has been calling out during The Color Purple promo.

The "Independence Day" star has faced backlash after saying that she can't relate to her former "Empire" co-star's career struggles.
In a video published by TMZ on Monday, January 8, Fox was signing autographs for fans when she was asked about the discussion of equal pay that was initiated by Henson. "You know, darling, to each his own. I'm very happy, very blessed," she responded with a shrug.
Insisting that she didn't have the same same experience as Henson, the 59-year-old added, "To each his own. I didn't have that experience, you know?" She went on noting, "But to, uh, get your peace out is important. I totally understand that. And I love my girls for looking our for each other. But, I'm good!"
After the video circulated online, social media users quickly weighed in on Fox's apparent indifference to the issue. "She didn't have that experience because she has not acted on the level Taraji has. She has not reached the levels Taraji has reached," one person shaded her.
Another similarly said of the "Kill Bill" actress' career, "her Career don't even compare." A third critic said, "I mean Vivica can't relate because she only did like 1 or 2 big motion pictures," while a fourth dissed her, "Mean girl energy Iont [sic] like that s**t."
Sorry Vivica, but you're not on the same level career-wise as Taraji. You haven't done a big tentpole Hollywood movie since Kill Bill.
Now your career has been diluted to selling cheap-looking Patti LaBelle shake-n-go wigs, and acting in Lifetime and Tubi movies.
