Overview

• Gianni Paolo disclosed on Harry Jowsey’s Boyfriend Material podcast that Spencer secretly paid for a publicist team when he couldn’t afford one early in his career.
• At the time, Paolo faced roughly $20,000 in credit-card debt and earned only $6,000 from Ma, making $5,000-a-month PR fees unattainable.
• Spencer arranged and funded his PR services without asking for repayment, underscoring the role of personal networks in supporting emerging actors.
• After booking and shooting an episode of Power Book II: Ghost, Paolo voluntarily wired Spencer the funds she had provided.
• Blumhouse confirmed in June that Spencer will return for a sequel to Ma, driving renewed interest in anecdotes from the original cast.
