At SXSW, the 'Quantico' actress says her new Russo Brothers action drama co-starring Richard Madden is the first time she's had pay parity with her male co-star and says she was body shamed as 'not sample sized' before the festival.
“I’m laughing about this, but it’s kind of nuts,” she added. “I put in the same amount of investment and work, but I get paid much less. But the ease in which Amazon Studios said, ‘That’s what you deserve, you are co-leads, that’s just fair,’ and I was like, ‘You’re right, it’s fair.
During the Q&A portion, Jonas also told an anecdote about being body-shamed by an unidentified person before the festival.
