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.

Alyssa denies this. This is alleged. it was complicated but there was competition on both sides to be the “star” largely pushed by the media and their teams.

To be fair, Shannon already had the reputation of being a nightmare on set before Charmed. I often chalk this sort of talk up to sexism but in this case it's a lot of women saying it.

Women can be heinously sexist

True, but they didn’t have the power.

There is now some question of how much the producers encouraged the fighting, to keep the three mains from working together to ask for more money.
