Former E!  News host Catt Sadler  is responding to E!'s defense of  her  salary  which  she  claims was nearly half that of  her  male co-host Jason Kennedy.
E! chief Frances Berwick confirmed a difference in salaries between  Sadler  and Kennedy during a Television Critics Association panel Tuesday  but attributed the pay gap to a difference in roles.
“ Catt Sadler  and Jason Kennedy had different roles and therefore different salaries ” he said. “Catt was focused on daytime. Jason Kennedy is on primetime evening news  plus red carpet. Our employees’ salaries are based on their roles and their expertise  regardless of gender. We wish Catt well  but I hope that sets the record straight on that.”
The defense echoes a statement the company provided to USA TODAY at the time of  Sadler 's pay gap claims in December.
“E! compensates employees fairly and appropriately based on their roles  regardless of gender " the statement reads. "We appreciate  Catt Sadler ’s many contributions at E! News and wish her all the best following her decision to leave the network.”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday   Sadler  disagreed with the network's statement  saying it wasn't about being underpaid but "about the gross disparity between two similarly situated equals at the network."
"Time is up. We want diversity and we want intersectional gender parity. We want equal pay. You know  I was so shocked to hear that E! doesn’t believe in paying their female co-hosts the same as their male co-hosts " she told E!'s Giuliana Rancic. "I miss Catt Sadler  and we stand with her. And that's something that can change tomorrow."
"We support gender equity and equal pay  and we hope that E! follows that lead with  Catt  as well " she said. "We stand with you  Catt ."
