per her comments, she’s not too fond of gilfoyle or dinesh, either.
I'm curious if that just general toolishness (Kumail for instance is very histrionic on social media, I can only imagine how he'd be unfiltered) or if it's more malevolent than that.
Wetterlund said a while ago her time on
Silicon Valley was pretty miserable:
https://deadline.com/2018/07/silicon-va ... 202428910/Alice Wetterlund, who recurred as engineer Carla Walton in seasons 2 and 3 on HBO’s Silicon Valley, describes her experience on the show as “kind of a nightmare” on Twitter, and blames fellow cast members for enabling the “unprofessional” behavior of former star TJ Miller.
“TJ Miller was a bully and petulant brat and pretty much everyone who had any power on that (almost all male) set, including the male cast members, enabled him and were complicit in his unprofessionalism,” she wrote on Twitter, adding: “They can horsefeathers off forever.”
Wetterlund added, “I’m pretty open about this, and I don’t know if other women on the show had a different experience than me, but it was kind of a nightmare.”
In response to a question as to why Wetterlund stayed on the show, Wetterlund replied on Twitter, “Not a dumb question. One, I needed the job, two, it was my first recurring role and I had no idea it wasn’t always toxic and weird. Now I know!”
Given what we know about Miller, and what we keep finding out about Middleditch, that set probably suuuuuuuuuuucked for anyone who wasn't on board for their horsefeathers.
