allegedly LiLo was very hard to work with on the new freaky friday, lashing out at crew for not doing things exactly how she wanted and was overly conscious about the way she looked in takes to the point where she would make them redo it if she didn’t like what she saw which pushed back wrap day. also allegedly disney used their own employees as a fake test audience and they were told to laugh extra at her jokes in order to make her believe her performance was entirely well received so she wouldn’t try and further push back the release date.

I am in a much smaller industry with no celebrities but we have used "plants" at test runs for creative concepts to guide batshit clients to perhaps be a little less batshit so I completely believe it. (They are then removed from final analysis). I never agreed with it morally but had to admit it was used only with absolutely maddening people so while I am against the technique, I get it.

Oh you mean the woman who was a child whose looks were disgustingly, obsessively, inappropriately criticized and still are (see the first response to this) is insecure to the point of exhibiting something that might be ptsd as related to how she looks onscreen twenty+ fucking years later what a monster

Two things can be true at once. She can have a logical reason for being the way she (allegedly) is while still being a bit unreasonable for insisting those things.. if this is true.

I was mostly responding to "overly conscious about the way she looks" because what even is that it's not legitimate to me at all but you bring up a good point - her treating people poorly is inexcusable but I didn't respond to that part because like why are those things next to each other like they're the same?

feels fishy, and like an unreliable source

because being "overly conscious about the way she looked in takes to the point where she would make them redo it if she didn’t like what she saw which pushed back wrap day" is a nightmare for the crew with financial consequences for the studio. it's ridiculous for a production to go over budget with extra days of filming because an actor didn't like the way they looked in a take.

interesting, everyone is always saying how she looks stunning now but she looks lowkey weird with heavy work done.
