Behind-the-Scenes Drama Killed the Revival
Rumors of a backstage feud between Debra Messing and Megan Mullally began to run rampant after Mullally unfollowed her co-star on Instagram and asked for a “temporary leave of absence” from the reboot’s final season as reported by Digital Spy in January 2019. Many of the actress’ social media posts and public statements alluded to bullying from Messing and how “the bully has recruited many of my allies to their side” according to the Sun. Eric McCormack tried to downplay the rumors by telling Us Weekly that “people worried… entirely too much.”
