The
very
beautiful
and
renowned
Hollywood
actress
Scarlett
Johansson
opens
up
regarding
the
unethical
practice
in
Hollywood
regarding
the
gender
treatment.
The
actress
stated
that
she
might
be
one
of
the
top-grossing
actresses
in
Hollywood
of
all
time,
but
that
doesn't
account
for
the
fact
that
she
gets
fair
pay.
Scarlett
Johansson
also
stated
that
despite
being
one
of
the
most
sought-after
actresses
in
Hollywood,
she
had
to
battle
it
out
hard
every
day
to
survive
in
the
industry.
"Just
because
I'm
the
top-grossing
actress
of
all
time
does
not
mean
I'm
the
highest
paid.
I've
had
to
fight
for
everything
that
I
have.
It's
such
a
fickle
and
political
industry," Johansson
said
in
a
statement
during
an
interview.
The
Avengers
actress
also
stated
that
earlier
she
used
to
feel
uncomfortable
to
discuss
her
personal
issues
in
public,
but
now
she
has
managed
to
deal
with
it.
"Maybe
I'm
being
presumptuous,
but
I
assumed
it
was
obvious
that
women
in
all
positions
struggle
for
equality.
It's
always
an
uphill
battle
and
fight." Scarlett
Johansson
said.
Johansson
also
stated
that
all
the
female
friends
she
knows
has
to
struggle
in
the
industry
due
to
discrimination
on
the
ground
of
sex.
"My
experience
with
my
close
female
friends
and
family
is
that
the
struggle
is
real
for
everybody.
Everyone
has
been
discriminated
against
or
harassed,"
added
Scarlett
Johansson.
