Shortly thereafter, Sheen and Waterston went on the record to support their co-stars ' demands for a salary increase, with Waterston being quoted as saying : `` I think they 're being cheated ''. After fans of the show gathered nearly 200,000 signatures on a petition protesting the disparity, the two actresses issued a public statement backing away from criticism, saying : `` This just reminds us to be mindful of how things come across in interviews. We appreciate everyone 's support and the attention to this issue, but the structure of Grace and Frankie is fair, and we could n't be happier to work with Skydance, Netflix and the great cast of this show. '' Fonda and Tomlin made a statement to The Wrap that they were never unhappy with the salaries to start with and that they had `` made a joke in an interview about our salaries, which was taken out of context.
