"Kudrow recalled that the writers, who were predominantly men, would often speak cruelly about the female cast during taping. '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 f***ing read? She's not even trying. She f***ed up my line,' she said."
"Kudrow also said it didn't end there. 'And we know that back in the room, the guys would be up late discussing their sexual fantasies about Jennifer and Courteney,' she added. 'It was intense.'"
Lisa Kudrow shared her experiences of cruelty and intense scrutiny faced by the female cast of Friends during filming. The predominantly male writers often made demeaning comments about the actresses, including harsh criticisms during live tapings. Kudrow recounted instances where writers expressed their sexual fantasies about her co-stars. These revelations align with previous allegations of workplace malpractice and discrimination, including claims of racial discrimination and sexual harassment made by former staff members.
