“I hate it when I hear men calling women gold diggers. What do you expect her to dig? Sh*t? No, I won’t… I won’t advise any woman to dig anything less than gold,” she said.

The actress also argued that men should naturally understand their responsibilities in relationships.

According to Wright, a woman should not always have to ask before her partner supports her financially.

‘Don’t date if you cannot afford it’

When asked whether men who lack the financial capacity to support a woman should avoid dating, Wright gave a direct answer.

“Then don’t! Don’t date if you cannot afford it! Or you date according to your level,” she said.
