Could this be any grosser?
Lisa Kudrow told British outlet The Times in a profile published last week that the writers room on “Friends” — which, she noted, was “mostly men” — often exhibited some pretty creepy behavior.
“There was definitely mean stuff going on behind the scenes,” Kudrow recalled. “Don’t forget we were recording in front of a live audience of 400, 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 bitch fucking read? She’s not even trying. She fucked up my line.’”
“The Comeback” star added that while these male writers would often belittle her and her female co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox on set, when they were in the privacy of the writers room, “the guys would be up late discussing their sexual fantasies about Jennifer and Courteney. It was intense.”
Kudrow added, “Oh, it could be brutal, but these guys — and it was mostly men in there — were sitting up until 3am trying to write the show so my attitude was, ‘Say what you like about me behind my back because then it doesn’t matter.’ ”
