>Cartwright received a stern reprimand from Simpsons showrunner Al Jean and Fox Network executives for a 2006 incident where she performed Bart's voice in a telephone ad for the Church of Scientology, which she is a long-running member of and has donated substantial amounts of money to over the years.[3]

What could they do about it? They need her.

They really didn't. I recall Fox threatened her at the time with a recording of another VA doing Bart's voice perfectly.

Of course they need her NOW because their contracts got renegotiated for fuckhuge amounts of cash that can lead to lawsuit if she gets fired.

>That incident was 19 years ago
It's insane that a major reason long running shows in America cost so much is because the cast get paid absurd amounts of money.

Scientology still had a lot of clout back in 05, I wonder if Fox was given a few threats to sit down and shut up.
