In an interview with the Evening Standard the “Pose” star said he is having to sell his home because of the ongoing actors’ and writers’ strikes. “And I don’t know when we’re gonna go back (to work). The life of an artist, until you make f***-you money – which I haven’t made yet – is still cheque-to-cheque,” he told the publication.
“I was supposed to be in a new movie, and on a new television show starting in September. None of that is happening.”

Porter referenced a Deadline story which quoted an anonymous Hollywood executive saying, “We’re going to starve them out until they have to sell their apartments,” with the actor telling the Evening Standard, “You’ve already starved me out.”
In London where he helped take his Broadway show, “A Strange Loop,” Porter said he’s been hesitant to talk about the strikes, “because of the s**t that I’ve seen some lay people write about us: ‘Just a bunch of millionaires trying to get more millions.’”

Nobody's fault but his own for living above his means with no safety net.

She has, like, four homes.
One is in Pittsburgh, one in LA somewhere and I think one in London. Girl doesn't know how to manage her money.

Gurl, are you on the picket line working?
| by Anonymous | reply 11 | August 9, 2023 4:47 PM |
Miss Porter would not attend a picket line unless she could dress to the nines with her Picketing Ensemble and sashay for the cameras.
No cameras? No interest

HA!
That was the first thing that crossed my mind.
She needs to spend less on these ridiculous outfits, and start saving more.
Dumb bitch.

He’s getting divorced and selling a residence is a common thing when a couple splits. Also he’s had issues with money for years, he filed for bankruptcy in 2008.

To R16, did she file bankruptcy before or after Kinky Boots? She should have made a fortune from that.

How much money equals 'fuck you' money in his addled mind? Perhaps he may finally be forced to live within his means, but like everyone else, I seriously doubt that.

Billy Porter seems exhausting.

A friend of mine said he saw him in Sitges earlier this summer. So evidently he had enough saved up to vacation in Europe but not enough to endure 2 weeks of the strike.
