    In 2019, just after a year when Crazy Rich Asians broke box office records, there were controversies rising. It was of pay parity due to which Lim walked out from the decided installments of the movie. And then she unfolded the truth behind her exit. She got the payment almost 10 times lesser than co-writer Peter Chiarelli. This was done because Peter was an experienced writer who wrote The Proposal and a second feature a scribe whereas Adele Lim is mainly a TV writer.

    The director of the movie commented on this via tweet and gave a lengthy statement. In that statement, he explained his stand and stated that he is with Lim and proud that she took a stand for herself. The audiences also reacted to the news. Director Chu informed that he shared a few words with Lim and Warner to solve the parity. But by that time, she declined the offer.
