I know people don't read articles, but at least scroll down to the picture of "an Oompa Loompa running a meth lab"

I think she already knows she's not being paid.

Just like her script being created by a AI. The money they are going to pay her in is made by AI.

It's even better than money, it's Loompa Coin. Sure it's worth nothing now, but that just means it's a great investment. Any day now the value will skyrocket...

Speaking to MailOnline, she confirmed that not only had she not been paid she also hadn't been briefed on what her role would involve. She explained: 'I was angry at the time because I felt like this is embarrassing for me, and I felt bad for the people coming in as well. I actually ended up shouting at the guy. I just said to him he’s a joke and this is like embarrassing, and how can we basically live with himself, doing this to people. This is really embarrassing for me. My job is teaching kids yoga and I go into schools and stuff and I do kids’ entertainment. This is none of our faults at all. We got the job and then we got given the script. By that point I’d signed a contract and they said they were going to put us £500 for the two days which is a lot of money which is a lot of money to say no to.'
