"Friends" was known for providing plenty of laughs, but behind the scenes, Lisa Kudrow says things were far from light and easy.
The Emmy-winning actress, who played Phoebe Buffay on the classic NBC sitcom, got candid on the show's writers' room in an interview with The Sunday Times published April 23.
Kudrow, 62, alleged the cast was subjected to frequent derogatory and sexual remarks from the series' writers amid production at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. "There was definitely mean stuff going on behind the scenes," she told the British outlet.
"Don't forget, we were recording in front of a live audience of 400," Kudrow said. "And if you messed up one of these writers' lines, or it didn't get the perfect response, they could be like, 'Can't the b---- ... read? She's not even trying. She [messed] up my line.'"
