Laverne Cox's income has dropped 'significantly''
Cox says corporate speaking and teaching work dried up as DEI rollbacks spread, leaving her with a 90% income loss, she told The Guardian.
- Laverne Cox recently revealed a 90% income loss over the past few years, attributing the decline to attacks on gender ideology and DEI by the administration of President Donald Trump.
- The White House has made rolling back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives across federal and corporate sectors a central policy, creating what Cox calls a "permission structure" to scapegoat LGBTQ people.
- Corporate speaking engagements and academic opportunities have effectively dried up for Cox, as institutions fear that even teaching a graduate acting class could be perceived as "promoting ideology."
- Cox ended her three-year tenure hosting Live From the Red Carpet and reflected on the broader cultural impact in her new memoir, Transcendent.
- Identifying the conservative Project as a blueprint for these policy changes, Cox warned that if she faces such material consequences, less privileged people face even more severe systemic erasure.
