Taraji P. Henson to 'Ebony': 'I'm Treated Like I'm On the D-List'

Taraji P. Henson looks beautiful on the cover of Ebony magazine‘s October 2014 issue.
The 43-year-old actress opened up to the mag about not feeling she has earned the respect she believes she has deserved for her career accomplishments, which includes an Oscar nomination for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
“I’m treated like I’m on the D-list,” Taraji said. “I’m still being considered with actresses who haven’t done half the stuff I’ve achieved.”
“When people tell me ‘no,’ I get hyped,” she added. “Because when I prove that I can and will, I love watching people eat crow.”
While she might think she is treated as though she is on the D-list, Taraji says she uses her status to get some special treatment to get her “fat *** into a restaurant. If someone tells me there’s a wait, I’ll walk right to the front of the line like, ‘I need a table now. I need to eat, and I want this. So let’s work this out.’”

I love her. I wish she wasn't killed off Person of Interest. And I didn't realize she is 43. She looks great.

She looks amazing!

 

[~Fabulousity~]

so she feels she can just walk to the front of the line..if she is so "A" list she should have a table waiting for her wherever she goes. I can't stand arrogant people, never knew she was one of them.

I like her, but that cover pic does her absolutely no justice.

well if there's a line for a table I'm assuming she's eating at a chain restaurant like Friday's or something so I doubt they would have a table waiting but I totally get your point, I still like her I think she has some arrogance too her but I like her so much more than Gab Union

I don't care let her wait and allow them to notice her
These celebs are something else! Then they will complain when they can't go grab a sandwich without being noticed.

She looks hideous on that cover and Taraji is a pretty actress. I am sure she gets paid peanuts compared to her counterparts.

Couldn't agree w/u more. Celebrities feel entitled! ugh.

 

[Ladybug09]

She should have just kept that to herself.

 

[BagOuttaHell]

She looks better than that cover.

Not exactly humble, is she.

 

[kcf68]
