awww. I like Michelle. This is nice

He shouldn't have worked with her because she said this

"'I think its so stupid, because of this whole “minorities in Hollywood” thing. Its so stupid, stop stealing all the white people’s superheroes. Like, make up your own.'"....

but I won't let her ruin this film for me.

And the trans character in that weird crime movie, wasn't that her as well?

[headswillroll88]

that's kind of taking what she said out of context. she was saying that minorities deserve our own original characters.

[frankthesheep]

Nope. She backtracked AFTER she was dragged and used the good old "out of context" excuse celebs use when they have said something stupid.

I was once told to my face that I wasn't exactly easy to work with. What that person meant was "he wanted to adapt a text of mine and I had two choices, give it to him to rework or take him up on his offer and rework it together so that I could learn adapting by doing". Guess which of the options I took, and he told me that at the beginning of our meeting.

I always thought she had a drug problem and that's what made her hard to work with but I'm probably thinking of someone else.

yeah she got a DUI while working on LOST and was hanging around (dating?) zefron when he was really bad

[problematic]

Yeah I thought there were drug/alcohol issues but I assumed that was many years ago.

LOL my last job I was told I was difficult to work with because I asked a superior to stop touching me. Literally, to not physically touch me. I quit that place. It was my word against his and guess who our male manager believed?

I'm "hard to work with"... okay.

Having boundaries = hard to work with. They sound like a lovely duo. Sorry that you had to deal with that shit.

Holy shit, that's so awful. I'm so sorry your boss and that customer were such assholes.
