"I had to get letters from all the other male, white producers saying that I had contributed, when my actual record stood for itself," the actress said, while an Academy spokesperson argued that"no one was singled out."The Officemagazine's Women in Hollywood issue, Kaling recalls in her interview her time working as an actress, executive producer, director and writer during the NBC comedy's nine-season run.
"They made me, not any of the other producers, fill out a whole form and write an essay about all my contributions as a writer and a producer," the actress told . "I had to get letters from all the other male, white producers saying that I had contributed, when my actual record stood for itself." She also explained that she is prone to dealing with adversities due to her ethnicity which keeps her "humble." "In this country, American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate,' " Kaling said, also citing a quote by the late Toni Morrison. "It really doesn’t matter how much money I have ... I’m treated badly with enough regularity that it keeps me humble.
writer-performer-producers who were NOT cut from the list. Just me. The most junior person, and woman of color. Easiest to dismiss. Just sayin'.""I worked so hard and it was humiliating. I had written so many episodes, put in so much time in the editing room, just to have the Academy discard it because they couldn’t fathom I was capable of doing it all," she wrote. "Thankfully I was rescued by my friends, the other producers.
She added: "The point is, we shouldn’t have be bailed out because of the kindness our more powerful white male colleagues. Not mentioning it seemed like glossing over my story. This was like ten years ago. Maybe it wouldn’t happen now. But it happened to me."
Ok, sad but... what happened to her lips?
