MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Maria Menounos believes in equal pay for equal work. But she feels the situation with her former E! News colleague Catt Sadler is a bit more complicated.

Sadler left the network late last year after learning that her on-air partner Jason Kennedy made nearly twice as much money as she did. She said she had to take a stand.

While sympathetic, Menounos said simply paying everyone the same isn't always feasible. She cited NBA superstar LeBron James, who earns much more than many of his teammates.

Says Menounos: "There are going to be instances where it's not always equal."
