Catt Sadler Tells Fans Not To Blame Jason Kennedy Over E! Pay Gap
It was revealed this week that Catt Sadler quit her job at E! News due to an enormous pay gap between her and her coanchor Jason Kennedy, who was reportedly making twice as much as her.
Now, Catt has spoke out in defense of Jason, saying he did “right by her.”
“I couldn’t let another minute go by without acknowledging the overwhelming love and support I’ve been receiving the last 24 hours. Leaving E was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but your messages and heartfelt comments are comforting and affirm for me that I made the right decision,” Sadler wrote in the caption of a photo. “So many of you have similar stories, similar struggles, legitimate frustrations and I want you to know I hear you and feel for you. As a result, I have a renewed sense of purpose and genuine passion to right the wrongs. We are stronger together and I feel your strength at my core.”
“If I had one ask, it is to please not place blame on my friend Jason Kennedy. He has done right by me in every respect. It hurts me deeply to see that some are vilifying him,” she added. “I repeat, his hands are tied on this matter and if you’re angry – rightfully so – direct that emotion at the decision makers who failed us, not him. All my love + gratitude.”
