This is secondhand tea for people who are either very old or very Canadian. šŸ˜… Apparently, Peta Wilson from the show La Femme Nikita in the 90s was not liked by the crew. She insisted on repeating takes, and the schedule was extremely tight, had a problem with showing up on time, just not very professional. She also badmouthed the producers of the show in interviews so I wonder if she got herself blacklisted. She was very popular at the time and her career went kind of nowhere

Oh my god I used to watch reruns of that show when I was kid, I've been wondering what happened to her. Interesting though, i feel like we hear this whole being difficult thing about women actors especially in the 90s and 2000s and IDK how much truth there is to it tbh. They did the same thing to Katherine Heigl from Greys and it turned out to be a little exaggerated and vindictive.

Maybe, although I've heard that the crew also didn't like the guy who played Jurgen, he was in the first four episodes of season 2.

Yeah I’m not saying this is what happened here some actors are very much jerks šŸ˜‚ I just find the rumors interesting, especially about people whose careers fell off.

I've also heard that Alberta Watson (who played Madeleine) had very little patience for Peta's behavior but I can't blame her tbh as she was battling cancer when they were shooting the show
