SONY Pictures came under attack after a hacker hacked into their email system, gaining access to personal, confidential email exchanges. In the latest discovery, telling emails paint a picture of a money hungry Kevin Hart.
Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal, studio exec Clint Culpepper and Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton were all discussing having the upcoming "Wedding Ringer" star use his social media accounts to promote his newest projects. The thing is, according to the execs, Kevin wanted extra coins on top of the $3 million he’s allegedly already paid in order for him to use his social media for advertising.
Smart move on his end, espcially if the original contract never specified promotion on social media.
The Sony Exec's alleged response:
"I'm not saying he's a whore, but he's a whore".
Check out the alleged email in its original form over at Defamer:
In addition, it's alleged Clint Culpepper fired off this email:
It's not as if we paid him 3M and 4M respectively for his last 2 films thinking he might be nominated. We paid for his ability to open a film which included his social media savvy. I feel like this is something that should be negotiated going into the film as opposed to after the fact. It feels tantamount to buying a car and then upon picking it up being told that the engine will cost extra. I'm tempted to suggest we call his bluff. If he doesn't do his normal routine, his film will not open as well and his brand will appear diminished and he will- in fact - be fucking himself because we have his next 2 immediate films. And then there's the social media precedent we're setting...especially in light of the fact that Channing is at the same agency.
Hmm...do we believe it?
