She passed the audition and then saw the contract- it was $2500 a week BUT $1000 of that would be reserved and only paid out if you fulfilled your whole contract (1 or 2 years, I can’t remember which)
That’s wild, just the financial aspect.. ive heard of ‘signing bonueses’ for real world jobs (non athletic or entertainment) being deferred for like 6 months .. but ive never heard of what amounts to roughly 40% of ur salary being deferred for a year or two before you get paid.. it’s good that she turned it down but obviously there were many who accepted these terms and likely didnt have much , if any, leverage who really needed the work .
