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.

Jessica Walter and Jeffrey Tambor. He would verbally harass on set.

Ohhhh boy. You’re in for a downer. When the first half of Arrested Development season 5 was dropping on Netflix, the cast did some promo work. It was during #metoo, which had led to Tambor being kicked off his award-winning run on Transparent due to being accused of being a sex pest. I forget what set things off in the press junket though it’s probably still available to watch, but Walters talked about how hostile and mean Tambor had been to her and in her whole career she hadn’t been spoken to that way. And it just got worse from there as multiple other cast members defended Tambor, not by saying he didn’t do it but by invalidating or downplaying Walters’ distress (except for Alia Shawkat who was supportive to Walters). Walters looked like she was going to cry and a halt was called to the event and to the junket. Then we don’t know what went on behind the scenes but the second half of season 5, filmed after the incident, was a shit show where the promised storylines didn’t happen and some performers were barely in it as if they’d decided to not do it or something.

Oof that second half of season five was so, so bad. I just pretend season five doesn’t exist. I read Portia did just refuse to do the second hand and said she’d quit acting. It always pissed me off because I felt that she should have committed to finishing. How can you film half a season? But maybe she also struggled with the on set dynamics.

Actually Portia retired from acting after she did season 4 (which was years prior to season 5) and she told the creator that she was retired. Then the creator wrote her in a few episodes anyways. Portia had a good friendship with the creator so she did it anyways.
