Apparently the actor took a liking to her

This Empire actress said that she had to have sex with this, foreign born, at the time A- list mostly movie actor who has since reached A+ list status briefly to keep a job she landed on his movie.

Apparently the actor took a liking to her and the producer approached her and said they were thinking of replacing her, but she could probably save her job by sleeping with the actor.

It was early in her career and she needed the break so did.
