In a recent TikTok video, Giovonnie Samuels revealed that she is yet to receive residuals for her appearance in the Nickelodeon sketch comedy series All That. Samuels has been featured in different films and TV shows, contributing to her net worth, which is estimated to be around $1.5 million.
Samuels started by addressing the SAG strike, saying that the leads always receive big paychecks, but supporting actors aren't paid as well. She then claimed that this was the reason the actors' union was protesting. She added:
"I'm asking for a little bit of wage, I'm asking for health insurance. You have no idea how hard it is. We just came out of Covid and now we're going into a strike."
Giovonnie Samuels stated that she does not have any money left with her and that she had to use her savings to make it through the pandemic. She also mentioned that she had to deal with family members stealing from her and that she recently did a show that did not pay her. She said that she is fighting for residuals as well, adding that she has many responsibilities to attend to.
Samuels said that she has sent her son to a private school instead of a public school because she does not want other students to pick on him. She added:
"I'm tired. I own no home, I barely own my car. I don't know what money I think I have but I don't."
She said she currently holds down a job but is not eligible for SAG health insurance.
