Lisa Kudrow Says Friends Writers Would Discuss ‘Sexual Fantasies’ About the Cast

Courteney Cox acknowledged the intense work environment on Friends, recalling that the writers – primarily men – often worked until 3am. She said she didn’t care what people said about her privately, as long as it meant the show was getting done. This comment came in response to a 2000 lawsuit filed by a writers’ assistant, Amaani Lyle, against Warner Bros. and three Friends writers/producers (Adam Chase, Gregory Malins, and Andrew Reich). Lyle alleged sexual harassment, but the case was dismissed because the offensive comments weren’t directed at her personally.
