Imagine how painful it was for Jessica Walter when you and your dumbass male AD castmates instead of showing grace and support, you dared to lecture her, knowing damn well she was hurt. Fuck you.

Ooh, what was it that happened between them? I feel like I vaguely remember this but can recall literally no details.

It is behind paywall :(

the jist is that during a reunion interview, she talked about being mistreated by jeffrey tambor on set - all the men defended tambor. jessica was understandably emotional and the only one who came to her defense was alia.

unfortunately the paywall bypass site i know (12ft) is blocked by nyt

Thank you for responding! That was so infuriating to read. Jessica did not need to have Hollywood or the acting process or creative conflicts explained to her, she was a fucking professional for decades. How incredibly fucking condescending, like I am so mad just reading that.

I love how she said, "I've never been treated this way on a set..." And the men 30 years younger and acting way later said, "Well actually..."

How Arnett lectured her?

[braindiva]

How they treated Jessica really soured me on the whole show, which I used to love. The cast always seemed to have a bit of a dickish vibe (it always seemed Portia was kept a bit on the outside too) but that was not cool.

god that fucking INFURIATED me
