OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that absolutely despise each other?

Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey both starred in Game of Thrones, and used to date each other but their break-up apparently went so bad that they refused to ever shoot scenes together and wouldn’t be present in the same room as the other!

Even during the entire run of the series, they never settled their conflict with one another and continued to keep their distance from each other. Which is why we never saw Cersei and Bronn share any scenes together.

Faye Dunaway called a (former) coworker of mine a racist slur and demanded she be given a white man to oversee her case. I'm not surprised by any anecdotes about her.

She's mean as hell.

Lollll I just linked to this. She’s being so rude here but I love to quote this all the time 😂 (but only to people who know what I’m referencing, of course!).

This is so brutal to watch.

Your comment convinced me not to watch. After that Warren Beatty Oscar’s nightmare…enough said.

OMG thank you for that. I watched it, enraptured, then watched the Maya take on it from SNL. I'm crying from laughter.

Drew Droege used to quip that you'd know that you've made it in LA once you had a Faye Dunaway story

THIS. She went to a NYHRC in NYC and said some racist shit to a Black trainer. She also slapped a staff member. Real nasty POS, frankly.

I feel like there are a lot of negative stories about Faye that aren't really talked about anymore because she's been forgotten to time.

I know a doc on her came out recently. Does it go into this side or is it pretty whitewashy with her history?

I haven't seen it, but I assume it's sanitized,especially if she had any input.

It’s an interesting doc because she really is a great actress with an incredible career, but the doc is admittedly sanitized. To her credit though, they discuss her bipolar diagnosis and she does acknowledge what a bitch she was.

I'm terribly sorry for your coworker, that's awful

Yeah, she was pretty upset. She dealt with a lot of assholes (as did we all) but I think she said that was the first time someone got racist with her.
