“There was definitely mean stuff going on behind the scenes,” Kudrow said. “Don’t forget we were recording in front of a live audience of 400, and if you messed up one of these writers’ lines or it didn’t get the perfect response they could be like, ‘Can’t the bitch fucking read? She’s not even trying. She fucked up my line.’”
Additionally, Kudrow said the writing staffers, who were “mostly men,” also made sexually charged comments about her female costars, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox…
“We know that back in the room, the guys would be up late discussing their sexual fantasies about Jennifer and Courteney. It was intense,” Kudrow said. “Oh, it could be brutal.”
Kudrow said she learned to tune out the noise:
“These guys … were sitting up until 3 a.m. trying to write the show, so my attitude was, ‘Say what you like about me behind my back because then it doesn’t matter.'”
Even being one of the highest paid TV casts in Hollywood at the time doesn’t absolve that type of behavior. After a long day at work, no one needs to see THAT!
