I read that they broke up also, she was the only reason why I would pause to take a glimpse of The Game.

I read BET has reduced her role since they bought the series rights. I assume they did want to upset too many Sistas, she is the only woman on there that is really attractive to me.

Here's the skinny from Brittany herself:
What’s different for me is I was a series regular before and now I’m just a reoccurring character on the show. We did 13 episodes and I’m just contracted to do six. Another change is that we’re shooting in Atlanta and that’s different. [The Game was previously filmed in Los Angeles.]

Interviewer: Wow, that’s really disappointing. Did the powers that be tell you why they reduced your role?

I wasn’t happy about it, I wanted to do all the episodes but I think it was a financial thing. So I think the biggest difference for me between working for CW and BET is on the CW I made more money [laughs]. But the reason I came back to do the show is that I love the show. And I love, love the people that I work with so even though it came down to [my reduced role] I had to be supportive of the rest of the cast. I know me not showing up would affect a lot of story lines differently so I decided to be a team player anyway.

Interviewer: Because of your work in The Game and the black films you’ve appeared in, I hear your co-workers on the The Game say you have an inner black girl…

[Laughs] I have people come up to me and ask you really date black men don’t you and I say I do [Daniel is currently dating Keenan Ivory Wayans] and they say I can tell. And my cast members always say, ‘Oh Brittany is black, she is a sister.’ It’s so hilarious. I always end up working on African American productions. I worked with the Wayans on two movies [White Chicks and Little Man, I did The Game for a few years, and when I did Skyline Donald Faison is my boyfriend. It happens so many times.

she is sexy as hell, but it was unfair she got paid more, to me it was an ensemble cast.

She was paid the same as everyone else before. Now she is the least paid, because she is no longer considered a regular cast member (this will also hurt her royalty claims later on).

She got screwed to be frank.

If thats true, BET ought to be ashamed of themselves, for doing what mainstream networks used to do to black actors for years. Her race shouldn't be a factor. You would think they (BET) would know better.
 
BET is owned by Viacom, therefore it's really no longer a black owned corporation. Had BET did get acquired by Viacom, they probably would have to kept her pay the same. Of course, this is pure speculation.

I stand corrected if that is true...kinda, she only works 6 episodes per season now.

However, I wonder if they lost viewers having her on less shows. Like I said I watched it for her. Who knows? She did say it was about money.

Tia Mowry (as Melanie Barnett) - $50K per episode + 13= $650,000.00
Pooch Hall (as Derwin Davis) - $40K per episode + 13= $520,000.00
Coby Bell (as Jason Pitts) - $35K per episode + 13 = $455,000.00
Wendy Raquel Robinson (as Tasha Mack) - $35K per episode + 13 = $455,000.00
Hosea Chanchez (as Malik Wright) - $35K per episode + 13 = $455,000.00
Brittany Daniel (as Kelly Pitts) - $75K per episode + 6 = $450,000.00

(Yes, I was bored, LOL)

She makes a little less but, does not work as much. She mentioned in the article that she preferred to work every week. I have no idea what the contracts they had before Viacom/BET took over the show.

i agree with you. to me it's an ensemble show that works best when all of them are there. they tried to use the excuse that her guy on the show wouldn't be around as much, on account of his role on burn notice. but they could have a made a better effort to keep the cast together.

Do you think it's because a few years back she had her own show and would be considered a "name" with draw?? Who knows in show biz..

Perhaps but then why is Britney Daniels earning more then. I know she had a hit tv show (Sweet Valley High) and did some movies but I don't think she's worth 25 grand more an episode. I guess that's the advantage of being white on a blak show?
