they hated each other. Teri Hatcher and the Desperate Housewives actresses

Playing love-mad lovers, life-and-death close friends, co-workers who adore each other onscreen is easy when it’s the case in real life. More complicated, however, when contempt, even hatred, reigns between the actors. Back to the most infamous celebrity feuds small and large screen.

In Desperate Housewives, Bree, Susan, Lynette and Gaby are best friends. Behind the scenes, it was very different. The chemistry and friendship were very real between Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria and Felicity Huffman. They have confided on several occasions that they really got along well, spending long privileged moments together, between girlfriends. Teri Hatcher, on the other hand, has always stayed away from her co-stars. For Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher is “a loner, who didn’t like spending time with her, Marcia and Felicity.” But, things went beyond mere “interest”. Photo shooting described as “apocalyptic” by the photographer himself has entered into legend: theft of costumes, screams and exacerbated rivalries.

The infernal photo shoot of the actresses of Desperate Housewives

This is an event now well known to fans of the series which confirms this more than tense relationship. In 2005 the magazine Vanity Fair produced a long paper on the series. Mark Seliger, the magazine’s cult photographer, is commissioned to shoot the front page. The journalist who carries out the interview of the stars does not hide it, the meeting was infernal. It headlines in the magazine “You could not imagine what it took to achieve this photo”.

Teri Hatcher would have appeared several days before the shooting to choose her swimsuit first, something which was however forbidden to her, and she would have selected the one intended for Marcia Cross. Learning this, Marcia Cross reportedly flew into a mad rage. The icing on the cake, Teri Hatcher would have made a scandal to appear in the foreground on the cover, right next to the titles of articles, placing Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman in a complicated position: they were only seen when opening the magazine. . The actresses never did photo shoots again all together.

Teri Hatcher, cold with all the actresses of the series

When Teri Hatcher landed the role of Susan Mayer in 2004, she was already a familiar face to viewers. The actress embodies Lois Lane, Clark Kent’s girlfriend in the series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman broadcast between 1993 and 1997. Marcia Cross, chosen to interpret the very strict Bree Van de Kamp, is also an actress that viewers adore, she plays Kimberley in the cult series Melrose Place between 1992 and 1997. The two other members of the central quartet of the series are Eva Longoria, a rather discreet young model, and Felicity Huffman, star of Transamerica. For members of the film crew, Teri hatcher considered herself superior and did not fail to let others know. Spikes between takes, harassment, jealousy… the filming of the cult series was often very chaotic.

The actress would have, throughout the duration of the series, traumatized several members of the film crew, and actors. Thereby, Nicolette Sheridan, the very cash Eddieconfided that for her, Teri Hatcher was “the baddest person in the world” and that his behavior was “despicable”. The actress did not say more about the origin of her comments, but she always made sure to stay as far away as possible from Teri Hatcher. Eva Longoria also adds her two cents. She thus regularly tells in interviews dining with Marcia Cross and her husband, shopping with Nicolette Sherridan. She even specifies one day in front of Jimmy Kimmel in an interview that Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman will be at her side for the inauguration of her star on Hollywood Boulevard, with this unforgettable sentence “99% of us are friends”. Felicity Huffman, she posts souvenir photos on social networks on the occasion of the 14th anniversary of the show, omitting Teri Hatcher.

Desperate Housewives actresses harassed by Teri Hatcher?

It took until 2019 for the biggest revelations to be made. Felicity Huffman is in the midst of a legal storm. She admitted to having paid for her daughter to be admitted to a very reputable university. Series creator Marc Cherry and actress Eva Longoria write letters to the judge in good faith testifying to the character of Felicity Huffman. No need to know how to read between the lines to understand what they are saying then. Eva Longoria writes black on white : “I dreaded the days when I had to go to work with this person, because it was a real torture. Until the day Felicity told this stalker ‘enough’, and ended it. Felicity could sense that I was consumed with anxiety, despite the fact that I never complained or told anyone about this abuse. I know I wouldn’t have survived these 10 years without Felicity’s friendship.”. Marc Cherry specifies that one of the actresses “A star with real, obvious behavioral issues, suddenly stopped talking to others. No one could get along with her. But Felicity, whatever the cost, continued to say hello to her every day, without her ever answering her..”

Was Teri Hatcher the cold and malevolent character described by her co-stars? Or was she pushed aside by a group of “Mean Girls”? Hard to say today. The actress had in any case summarized her point of view in an interview with the Daily Mail following the letters in good faith “I know what I’ve done and I can look myself in the mirror regarding my attitude with the people I’ve worked with and always respected. This team knows I would have thrown myself under a bus for them at any time…I’ve been more than generous in those 8 years and any member of the team can tell you that, so it doesn’t matter. ‘doesn’t matter what anyone writesBacklash from the writers or chance, Susan Delfino is the only one of the four women not to survive the series. She dies during the last episode. Did you say karma?
