Eva Longoria bullied on DH set

I assume they are talking about Teri Hatcher? 

“While many of the memories she shares are poignant and speak to Huffman's character, Longoria particularly highlights the times that Felicity defended her from a bully on the Desperate Housewives set. Eva says, "There was a time I was being bullied at work by a co-worker. I dreaded the days I had to work with that person because it was pure torture. Until one day, Felicity told the bully 'enough' and it all stopped. Felicity could feel that I was riddled with anxiety even though I never complained or mentioned the abuse to anyone."

The creator of Desperate Housewives, Marc Cherry, reiterates in his own letter the havoc that this "problematic cast member" wreaked on set. The creator claims that the troubled actor had some "big behavioral problems" which made it "impossible" for the cast to get along with them. He shares that this woman even "decided she would no longer speak to her fellow cast members" only to the directors. He describes this behavior as "alternately maddening and hilarious." 

But Marc says that Felicity would never stoop to said actress' level. "Felicity still insisted on saying, 'Good morning' to this actress, even though she knew she wouldn't get a response. I found out about this and asked Felicity about it. She smiled and said, 'Just because that woman's determined to be rude, doesn't mean she can keep me from being polite,'" Cherry claims.

But the scope of Felicity's kind actions went beyond petty bullies. It turns out, Huffman was one of the only stars who supported Eva during contract negotiations. Eva claims that at one point in her career she was the "lowest paid actor" on Desperate Housewives. Then, one day, Felicity approached her with the idea that they all renegotiate their contracts together, in order to obtain equal pay, despite the fact that Felicity was making "much more" than Eva. 

Of course, negotiating together meant that Eva's salary would "significantly" increase and bring her up to the same pay as the other "more experienced actors." Eva quips, "Well, needless to say, that did not go over to well with the others."

However, rather than back down, Felicity continued to push the idea because Eva says she believed "it was fair because the success of the show depends on all of us, not one of us." Longoria adds that the "fight" lasted weeks, until Felicity was able to convince the others to do the right thing.”

Most likely Teri Hatcher. I remember a story about a thanksgiving letter or something with all the casts name in it except Teri’s :laughga:

It sounds like the lady that played Edie Britt, she notoriously had issues with the director and left the show early

It sounds like Teri, she surprised me at that she could be such a Desperate Actress on set. You’d expect it from Nicollette, but she was decent onset but got sack from some argument with Marc Cherry. I think it wasn’t even that bad, like along the lines of having more screen time but I could be wrong...

Scare them first, so they can’t scare you...

I think it’s more Teri than Nicolette. Nicolette and the rest of the housewives still say nice things about each other but the Teri rumors have been around since season 1 and they never talk about her or hang out. She wasn’t even there to hang out after the last scene. Teri comes off really sweet though but i guess it’s all an act. They deserve more emmys just for acting like they were best friends for eight seasons lol

 

also i wonder when that contract negotiation was cause Eva blew up once the show did and quickly became one of the most popular and relevant cast members
