Golden Girls Marc Cherry explains the Bea Arthur taking a shit on the floor of Betty White’s room rumor

Cherry says a German publication printed Bea taking a dump in Betty’s room.

The rumor was a joke that the writers made up and it somehow got to a German fan magazine.

So that’s the reason why she hated her?

Bea was exhausted by Betty wanting to be liked?

I waited 25 years for THIS?

I'm far from a prude, believe me. But I always found this bit of business to be so gross and stupid. Grow up.

It sounds kind of like Betty could never do anything right by Bea. Bea had made up her mind already and very little could change the way she thought or felt about Betty. I have worked for people before who are like that, and it isn't a pleasant experience. They decide you are one way, even if they base it on next to nothing, and that view sticks. Perhaps Bea was just over the business, and working, and should have retired. I like Bea, but she seemed to have a very negative streak.

I think Betty was incredibly passive agressive and it got on Bea's nerves after a while. I'm sure Bea was no walk in the park, but I suspect Betty was a pain in the ass if you had to deal with her on the regular.

Leave it to the Germans

A simple clash of personalities. Maybe one killed the other in a past life. You know how some people you meet subconsciously remind you of someone else you like, and you just fall into a similar pattern with them. And some people you just cannot get along with. But as work colleagues these ladies dud what they had to do, their job, which they were paid to do. Now, i was once Involed in a show, and the lead actor could be a cult leader, he has sich a strong pull on people. I liked him too but he was more keen to surround himself with those who showed worship, and i couldnt. Slowly i felt so left out in the cold that no matter how much i eas paid i ran oit of there after 5 weeks. I often think stars who quit shows and Big money shouldve stuck it out but i get it, sometimes money isnt enough. Didnt one of the original stars of E.R. leave; and just b4 the huge money and syn rights were to kick in. Rumour has it due to Noah Whyle.

Betty White was a cunt and Bea Arthur knew it. Bea would travel with her own favorite vodka whenever she would go out. My friend was famous and a friend of Bea's and when she came over to her place, she would get drunk and walk around the apt. and say Betty White is a cunt, oner and over again. True story.

I'm with r8. It was probably just a personality clash. These two had very different temperaments. One was introverted, the other (extremely?) extraverted. White was very playful and outgoing when acting while Arthur was very analytical and methodical. As an introvert myself I can acknowledge that some over-the-top extraverts can test my patience. Not because I think they're bad people, but rather that they are just TOO MUCH to handle for me sometimes. And it's not that I want them to change. I just need them to keep my space.
