This article does not bring to light the full story. Tracee Ellis Ross is simply an actor on the show while Anthony Anderson also writes, produces and was the original creator of the concept along with the acting he does on the show. I admire every woman who has stepped out and demanded equal pay. The whole point is that everyone, regardless of race, gender, sex and physical ability should be paid the same for the same amount of work. Ross does not do the same amount of work as Anderson and thus it wouldn't be fair for her to be paid the same amount.
And besides that discrepancy, I think the way she is framing this is very unfair. She's framing it in a way where it seems like she is poor and her not being paid as much as him means she can't live when in reality her net worth is 10 million dollars.
Overall this entire situation seems very elitist to me and I am kind of disappointed in the way it is being framed considering how easy it is to look up all of the other jobs that Anderson does for the show.
