Melissa McCarthy's Traumatic Experience on a 'Volatile, Hostile' Set
Melissa McCarthy revealed in an interview that she once worked on a "volatile, hostile set" that made her "physically ill." She didn't name the person responsible but said they successfully manipulated her and others by firing people she loved. McCarthy and her husband now perform a "crazy check" when vetting potential hires to ensure they are nice. She also discussed her role as Ursula in the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and the racist backlash the film and its star, Halle Bailey, have faced. McCarthy called for kindness and said, "if everyone just followed those two rules, we’d be fine."
