Riverdale's Vanessa Morgan: I'm used to bring token diversity to the show while being its least-paid series regular

TVLine

In a statement posted to Twitter Sunday, Morgan wrote she's “tired of how black people are portrayed in Media, tired of us being portrayed as thugs, dangerous or angry scary people. Tired of us also being used as sidekick non dimensional characters to our white leads. Or only used in the ads for diversity but not actually in the show.” She added in a reply: “Too bad I’m the only black series regular but also paid the least. Girl I could go on for days.” Neither producers The CW nor Riverdale producers have responded to Morgan's statement.
