Which is kind of hilarious given that irl Kate Mulgrew despised Jeri Ryan and was openly and gratuitously abusive to her on set

I used to be mutuals with Mulgrew on Facebook (she friended a ton of people and was a heavy self promoter). I had no idea she was such a terrible person.

She had her reasons to be really angry about the way they fired Jennifer Lien and replaced her with Jeri Ryan but yeah there's really no excuse for treating another human being that way

It's kind of funny because when she started on Orange is the New Black she joked about being typecast as an abusive tyrant when that was nothing like her

What Red does to Piper in S1 of OITNB pretty much is what she did to Jeri Ryan on Voyager, the freezeout silent treatment "Nobody may speak to her, nobody may acknowledge her, nobody may show her any kindness or it will be known they have chosen her over me"

That whole "I'm not touching you" passive aggressive kind of abuse (which Red resorts to because they're in prison and Mulgrew irl resorted to because they were shooting a Star Trek TV show, which is kind of like prison)

"I'm not DOING anything to her, in fact I'm not interacting with her at all"

That whole thing was a shit-show, looking back on it. Mostly stemming from VOYAGER being made to carry all of UPN for years - Mulgrew replaced Genevieve Bujold who'd quit after *one day* on set, and she came aboard outright refusing to do any romance or "sexy" storylines period..

...which (she later claimed) was the reason she though Seven was written-in and Ryan cast in the first place and why she resented her (OTOH, Mulgrew had made a rep for being a takes-zero-shit hardass on set years prior) ...THEN Ryan started dating Braga about a year in

Wait, so BRAGA getting dumped is part of the chain of events that led to America's first Black President? I feel like any small disruption here could have led to a hella big butterfly hurricane

No she joined Voyager and started dating Braga around when she was already separated from Jack Ryan and heading for divorce
