What'd I miss? I've worked for some bosses who were complete assholes, and I've worked for bosses where learning they had ADHD or OCD is absolutely no surprise. I've also worked for people-pleasers and pranksters.
I'm gonna all but beg for downvotes, but i admit I haven't been paying enough attention to spot more than just immature serially-hyper-focused "ha ha look at me that was fun for the 50th time wanna know what my favourite dinosaur is?" behaviour of someone with profound ADHD.
Where was she a documented asshole beyond that? It was in the dreck I just really ignored?
While I have your attention before the downvote, I'm glad that she seemed more relaxed in that special, that she brought Portia up - who is a stunner to this day, wow - for this maybe-last appearance like "this is me happy now" and how far a cry that was from her early days hiding her sexuality from herself, then family, then work. If she's happy as she quits the biz, then I think that's everyone.
Eh, she was an arsehole and a bully to her workers (and guests). People don't like that. They also don't like it when people go "I'm neurodivergent!" to excuse said arseholery. Especially other NDs. Drags all of us down
Untreated ADHD often leads to major depression, anxiety, PTSD, and a lot of other shit. Not everyone with ADHD is hyper or talkative, sometimes it's internalized and trust me, it fucking sucks. It can legitimately be disabling at times.
She would literally fire people on set for looking at or talking to her. She would yell and berate people to the point that they would burst into tears and then laugh about it. She wasn’t just a horrible boss - she made it extremely clear that she’s a shitty person
