VIDEO : Showtime Boss Says Emmy Rossum's Fight for Equal Pay on 'Shameless' Was 'Justified'

Showtime is happy to show Emmy Rossum the money!

After seven seasons of being paid less than her Shameless co-star, William H. Macy, Rossum successfully renegotiated her contract ahead of the series' eighth season and is now rumored to be making the same, if not more, than Macy.

Showtime's President of Programming, David Nevins, said,

"We've now worked something out that is great for her, great for us. Emmy has been a force on that show in a great way -- both, obviously, with what she does in front of the camera, but also she's a great leader on the set behind the camera. She directed this year and she will continue to direct."
