    and straight up fired Terry Farrell from DS9 after she just asked for an episode reduction for S7.

    After hearing some stuff about this I just assumed she was fed up with him/others and left but that’s somehow even worse

      She certainly had big issues with Berman and I sure would have gotten fed up and left, but she’s obviously a consummate professional and put up with it for the sake of her craft.

      “The problems with my leaving were with Rick Berman. In my opinion, he’s just very misogynistic. He’d comment on your bra size not being voluptuous. His secretary had a 36C or something like that, and he would say something about, ‘Well, you’re just, like, flat. Look at Christine over there. She has the perfect breasts right there,’” revealed Farrell.

      “And then I had to go into his office. Michael Piller didn’t care about those things, so he wasn’t there when you were having all of these crazy fittings with Rick Berman criticizing your hair or how big your breasts were or weren’t. That stuff was so intense, especially the first couple of years,” she added.

        Motherfucker thought he had the right to ‘critique’ Terry Farrell’s physique.

        Setting aside the outright ‘fuck you cave troll’ of that shit to begin with, Terry had literally worked as a fucking vogue-level model

          And she’s just drop-dead gorgeous.

          But apparently her breasts were too small for him.

          For fuck’s sake.

          Edit: She looks like this now. At age 60. God damn.

      Jadzia Dax’s death had the total lack of dignity that I associate with Rick Berman. She didn’t just die suddenly and rather pointlessly. She twitched for a bit while the camera lingered. I really can’t stand this man.
