Fox: Dispute Wasn't Over Money

CSI Files

Captain
<FONT color=yellow>Jorja Fox</font> (Sara Sidle) today denied she was fired from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation last month because she was holding out for a higher salary.

"I can say that it absolutely wasn't over money," Fox, who has since signed an agreement to return to the forensic drama, told Newsday's <font color=yellow>Liz Smith</font>. "But I can also say it is still something of a mystery to me. I mean, I don't act for money. That's not where I live, so to speak."

Fox and co-star <font color=yellow>George Eads</font> (Nick Stokes) were fired by CBS after they allegedly failed to reply to a letter from executives asking the CSI actors to assure the network that they would report to the set for the first day of shooting (story). Although Fox reportedly did send in her letter, she was sacked by the network the night before filming was slated to begin.

Here's how the actress described the dispute: "Well, it was over this letter that we were all asked to sign about reporting to work, and I'd really never seen such a letter in my life - my professional life - and I think they didn't like my response ... I just don't think the punishment fit the 'crime'."

The Hollywood trade papers reported Fox was rehired at her old salary (reportedly $100,000 per episode), but the actress said she was in fact offered a raise when she returned to CSI. But since her co-star George Eads had yet to be rehired, she turned CBS down. "George's head was still on the block - it would have looked like I was dancing on his misfortune. And, again, that's not what it was about."

huh the letter, lmfao she could be lying but i don't think so she sounded sincere then again she is an actress.. hmmm

But notice how the media turned it around, at first it was all about the money money money... then it was not showing up for work (which they did), then it was about "The letter, letter, letter" like i said one time before which ever will be the biggest headline grabber is the one they will go with.
To bad they didn't go with the letter first, it would have saved them alot of trouble and they could have claimed to have known it all along :lol:

I think its good (if true) that she didn't take the raise that she was offered, because of GE i mean not many would do that.
Course i am just glad their back :D
 
Honestly, I feel like someone is lying at some point. They just don't want to say exactly what it is. I do believe fox wanted more money, she did send that letter and cbs did cop an attitude. now that she's got her job back no sense telling the truth and then making cbs mad.

I think it's cool how respectful she is towards george. He is such a cutie.

Now I can't wait for the first episode. I bet there gona act there asses off. If it were me I would have a whole new outlook when it comes to my job.

:p :p :p
