Random Dark On-Set Drama Behind Scenes Of Hit TV Shows (24 items)

  (#7) Beverly Hills, 90210

  • Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Luke Perry

  Rumors about the behind-the-scenes girl-on-girl drama on the 90210 set swirled around throughout the '90s. Everyone knew that costars Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth didn't get along (they even got into a fist fight at one point), but the full truth wasn't revealed until fellow cast member Tori Spelling released her autobiography. In it, Spelling admitted that she asked her father, show producer Aaron Spelling, to fire Doherty after the on-set drama became too much to handle. He complied, and the show was never the same without Doherty.

  (#10) The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

  • Will Smith, James Avery, Alfonso Ribeiro

  Tensions between Will Smith and Janet Hubert (who played Aunt Viv in the first two seasons of the show) were apparently so high on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air that Smith had her fired. Although the official reason for her leaving was that her contract wouldn't accommodate her pregnancy, Hubert still believes Smith had something to do with it. The show went on - Aunt Viv just had a completely different face come Season 3.

  (#18) The Good Wife

  • Julianna Margulies, Chris Noth, Josh Charles

  Good Wife costars Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi were accused of feuding after fans discovered that their scenes "together" were being filmed separately and edited together on a split screen. Rumor has it that Margulies' jealousy over Panjabi's Emmy's recognition sparked tension, and the only way to diffuse it was to separate the two.

  (#22) Buffy the Vampire Slayer

  • Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, James Marsters

  When Sarah Michelle Gellar announced that she would be leaving Buffy the Vampire Slayer, hubby Freddie Prinze, Jr. spilled the beans as to why. “She’s a very strong woman, because she deals with a lot of nonsense, and instead of that nonsense, she should be thanked — and she’s not. That’s the reason she won’t be coming back,” he told a media outlet. The "nonsense" was apparently Gellar's feud with former bestie and on-screen best friend, Alyson Hannigan, who was angry with Gellar for mentally checking out of the role as early as Season 3 and just going through the motions.

  (#6) Two and a Half Men

  • Jon Cryer, Ashton Kutcher, Angus T. Jones

  It's no secret that Charlie Sheen has substance abuse issues, which affected his work on Two and a Half Men. After show creator Chuck Lorre tried to help Sheen with his addiction, Sheen lashed out in the media saying, "He’s [Lorre] a stupid, stupid little man and a p**sy punk that I’d never want to be like. And that’s me being polite." Since Sheen wouldn't film anymore, Lorre had no choice but to have TAAHM go on hiatus - eventually relaunching the show minus Sheen and plus Ashton Kutcher.

  (#20) American Idol: Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj's Diva Attitudes Didn't Click

  American Idol has cycled through its fair share of judges over the years. When producers decided to pair regular judge Randy Jackson with Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, they didn't take into account what would happen when the two divas' attitudes collided. Carey and Minaj apparently hated each other; Minaj said, "I told them I'm not f*****' putting up with her f*****' highness over there." It wasn't a surprise when both women declined to renew their contracts for a second season.
