Friends makes an enemy:
"They would basically sit like teenagers in a locker room, talking about, you know … things they wanted to do to the cast and walking around pretending to masturbate and just ridiculous conduct," she said.
They also talked about their personal sexual experiences, mused over sexual matters involving actors Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette and David Schwimmer, and ruminated on the most attractive types of breasts and buttocks, Lyle said.
After being told that she was fired for typing too slowly, Lyle filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Warner Bros.
The court is considering this as a Free-Speech vs. Sexual Harrassment issue, but there's a question about creativity here, too. Is it even possible to write something like Friends without being sophomoric as a group while doing so? And within the confines of the Writer's Room, surely this kind of discussion has some kind of privilege as a necessary part of the creative process? If you allow 'Friends' at all, do you have to allow the process which generates it? Or is the whole thing a bunch of self-indulgent writers making hell for a slightly prudish but absolutely blameless co-worker? |
