Fans of the revived sitcom 'One Day at a Time' are meeting the series with unexpected unease after Mackenzie Phillips disclosed that a male co‑star was ‘not very nice’ to her, a revelation that clashes with the show’s upbeat image. The admission has sparked a surge of commentary online, as viewers reconcile the on‑screen chemistry with off‑screen friction.
The tension appears linked to longstanding rivalry, with both Phillips and fellow cast member Valerie Bertinelli described as equally jealous of each other during production. That jealousy, according to People.com and Closer Weekly, fueled a competitive atmosphere that may have spilled over into personal interactions, creating a backdrop for the later unpleasant encounter Phillips cites.
Details of the dispute come from reports by AOL.com, Us Weekly, ew.com and the other outlets, which all repeat Phillips’s brief comment that the unnamed colleague ‘wasn’t very nice.’ No further specifics were provided, leaving observers to wonder how the alleged discord will affect future reunions or retrospectives of the series.
