who represented both of them, and allowed a clause in her contract that said she had to do re-shoots for free.

And Wahlberg has just donated his salary on the re-shoot to charity, in Williams's name. So I don't know why people are criticizing him.

If so, I can understand him wanting to get paid for doing tons of reshoots.

who negotiated both their contracts.

and he can afford to repaint himself and purchase his pardon

Michelle Williams is applauding him.

I guess, congrats to Marky-Mark for having a good agent?

time is valuable. He negotiated a business deal, so what? He did nothing wrong or dishonest, but went ahead and donated the money anyway. Seems to me he’s a stand up guy.
If he was a democratic activist the people here trashing him would be stepping all over each other to defend his actions. Of this I have no doubt because I see it done here every day.

So what is the problem?

I can't blame him for negotiating compensation for the extra work. I'd imagine the others would have done the same thing if they'd had a similar bargaining chip in their contracts. I bet they work a new clause into their contracts next time.

2) Employer changes blueprints and demands new parts

3a) Does machinist make new parts for free
or
3b) Does machinist get paid for making new parts

and negotiated a contract for HER that required her to do re-shoots for free.

Marky Mark should have pushed for HER to get the extra money too, out of simple fairness.

She was glad to do the reshoots essentially for free, but it's about more than her on this.

He had to put the other movie he was directing on hold to re-do this work. That put a lot more people than him in a bind.

Movies I have seen recently

Darkest Hour *****
Tonya *****
All The money In the World *****
Roman Israel ****
Three Flags Over Ebbing Missouri *****
The Post ****

Makes you wonder if he was trying to protect himself from blowback because he knew the pay equity issue on this would go public.

I would have a problem with him having done this to jack up his fee but if merely had both the right to be paid for the reshoot and the right to name costar in his contract as I have read elsewhere then that is a different story. Both he and Williams deserved to be paid for re shoots.

The story here should be that all the other actors and film people were UNDERPAID not that one guy was paid correctly.

Let's imagine something happened at Walmart where they knocked all the shelves over in the storage room or something and 5 people had to work an extra 40 hours some week to fix the storage room. They should all be paid their normal rate.
