Zendaya becomes highest-paid Black actress on television

Zendaya recently made headlines after her half-sister, Latonja Coleman, accused her of neglecting their family relationship. Instead of addressing the accusations directly, Zendaya highlighted her recent professional success. She has become the highest-paid Black actress in television history, earning $1 million per episode for the upcoming season of "Euphoria." This achievement surpasses previous record-holder Kerry Washington, who earned $800,000 for her role in "Scandal." Zendaya's new contract reflects her role as both the lead actress and executive producer of the show. Latonja Coleman, who is 51, shared her feelings in interviews. She expressed disappointment over her estranged relationship with Zendaya. Coleman said she has only seen her half-sister twice in the last seven years. She also mentioned being blocked from reaching out to Zendaya after her cancer diagnosis due to family tensions. Coleman described Zendaya's romance with Tom Holland as "odd," pointing to their height difference. However, she believes that they are meant for each other. The family rift and the latest accusations have drawn attention, but Zendaya’s career achievements seem to speak for themselves.
