“I don’t get the venom and mockery.”
FWIW, for many years until fairly recently, she was often quoted as trashing the show and her co-stars, called them “evil”.
I haven’t joined in the venom and mockery, except for occasionally bashing Henry Winkler for his anti-gun agenda on MacGuyver and more recently scamming old people.
Well, maybe she had reasons to project “evil” upon the whole thing? It’s gotten so bad that it’s sometimes challenging to watch old tv shows and movies with child stars, wondering what they went through behind the scenes. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and there’s one heck of a lot of smoke.
