Actor Billy Porter has revealed that he has been forced to sell his home due to the financial impact of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. In an interview about his music career, Porter explained that the strikes have halted his work and income, leaving him in a precarious position. Speaking to the Evening Standard, he blasted the myth that the strikes are solely about “a bunch of millionaires trying to get more millions”. "I have to sell my house… Because we’re on strike. And I don’t know when we’re gonna go back [to work]. The life of an artist, until you make f***-you money — which I haven’t made yet — is still cheque-to-cheque" Billy Porter, Evening Standard. Porter also criticized the lack of transparency in streaming contracts and the evolving nature of the industry. He criticized Disney CEO Bob Iger for labeling their requests as "unrealistic," highlighting the contrast with Iger's reported daily salary of $78,000.
