#OctaviaSpencer paid for her
#Ma co-star Gianni Paolo to have a publicist when he couldn't afford one for their press tour due to credit card debt.
"I didn't have any money for a publicist because at this time, this was pre-'Ma' coming out and I was like, I just can't spend $5,000 a month for a publicist. I only made $6,000 on the movie. I'm in $20,000 worth of credit card debt. So, I'm like, I'm just not going to get a publicist... [Octavia] was talking about doing press for the movie and this was my first real big thing. She basically was like, 'We're going to do press. [Get a] publicist.' And I told her, I don't have the money to do that. I'm not going to get a publicist... She called her publicist, paid for it completely and then set me up with her whole team. And then [she] said, 'Now you have a publicist.' She didn't ask for the money back. Never."
