The unbelievable revelation came during an exclusive talk with GQ as the magazine's 2019 icon of the year.

"I didn't get paid a whole bunch of money for Hustlers. I did it for free and produced it. Like Jenny From the Block—I do what I love. This is our movie, where we run [expletive]. They know it's all women producers, woman director, woman writer, all women starring in it. We've been watching men take advantage of women in movies for a long time, so it was a fun ride to see the tables turned."
