Worked as a PA on an end-of-the-world-type show that relocated to filming in Texas way back in the early 2010s. This was my third production working as a PA but first working in the general office production assistant work. I was excited because It was a cool cast of actors - and some people I was a personal fan of. One was a veteran actress from probably the biggest cult tv show of the 2000s (and one of my fav characters on that respective show)

Not necessarily f****d up - but more so baffling stuff i heard from colleagues in wardrobe about this actress: that would often have her period in the clothes she wore for filming….repeatedly. And she would act like nothing had happened at the end of the day offilming. Word was she didnt really do anything or try to prevent this from happening….

Because of the type of show it was, these clothes often went through aging and dyeing procedures. I know this whole thing around this actress eventually moved from a minor open-secret that crew could giggle (ie. *“shes so loopy, hippie-dippie, etc.”*) to something way more inconvenient when clothes - *beholden to story and filming continuity* - had to start getting rewashed, rebought, reaged, redyed…. you name it, which caused tons of redundant or duplicative work on behalf of the crew members (mostly in costuming) as it kept happening very frequently.

Never felt like maybe there was a medical issue or anything with this actress - just more so strange in how nonchalant and unembarrassed it all felt - like the way she handled all of this situation was a *normal* thing.

It definitely altered my perception of her to a more neutral fan standpoint.

There were active rumors within the Korean film industry that a certain famous Korean actor who tried to make it big in Hollywood and appeared in several Hollywood blockbusters was a little too close with his sister. She was always in his trailer and followed him around when he was working in Hollywood. I was thinking it was just a brother being overly protective over his sister, but according to almost everyone I've talked to, it's definitely more than that. Usually I take rumors like this with a grain of salt, but these people were dead serious about the whole affair, as if it's pretty much common knowledge.

The other less disgusting fact is that the actor was pretty close friends with my mom's friend's Korean American son and lived with the family for a few weeks or so near LA. And he worked his absolute a*s off to work out his English pronunciations.

Worked on a movie set where a white stunt double showed up for Jonathan Majors and was in blackface. I think the excuse was they couldn’t find a black stunt double in New Mexico but he was (understandably) pissed and it made everyone super uncomfortable.

Honestly? Nothing to do with celebrities. The most f****d up thing is watching a 22 year old PA climbing into a big white box truck at the end of a 14 hour shoot at 1 AM and driving back from the boonies after crushing a few beers and a couple bumps. I've heard of some bad accidents involving sleep-deprived grunts trying to break in.
