Melissa McCarthy says film boss made her ‘physically ill’

Melissa McCarthy talked about a film set that left her physically ill because of hostile work conditions. In a recent interview, She dint not name the film set which set was volatile.

She told the Observer,

“I did work for someone once who ran such a volatile, hostile set that it made me physically ill. My eyes were swelling up, I was absorbing all of this nuttiness.”

She added,

“There were people weeping, visibly so upset by this one person. And I think that’s why the manipulation worked, because to get to me, this person would fire people I loved, which kept me quiet. It was very effective.”

She said,

“Then one day, I was like, ‘It stops today!’ I just kept saying to them, ‘It stops, it stops.’ And I know now I’ll never keep quiet again.”

That experience forced her to open her own company “On The Day Productions” that she shared with her husband.

Melissa said,

“You know, we were so astounded and grateful at getting to build our own little worlds. We were like, ‘We have to build the one we’ve always talked about, where everybody gets to have an opinion and everyone is really nice. It’s going to run a lot better with no screamers or crazy egos bumbling around. Why would we risk destroying that?”
