Although I find it nearly impossible to believe that my beloved Lauren Graham is a disrespectful diva, Janet Charlton claims the actress is a terror on-set.
Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham is not as sweet as she looks. A source on her show told us the actress is notoriously condescending to background players and she’s developed a bad reputation with them. Lauren isn’t popular with extras because not only does she avoid them like the plague (”Keep those people away from me!”) but she has no regard for their feelings. When she noticed a young female extra wistfully eyeing the craft service table she hissed “Get these maggots away from the food table!” The girl was humiliated and when another extra expressed shock at Lauren’s contemptuous comment - both lost their jobs. Lauren may be the ‘boss” but extras whisper that she’ll never get a SAG award because she’s so disliked.
“Maggot” really is one of the worst put-downs I’ve heard in quite a while.

I find that extremely unlikely. Mainly that anyone would call anyone else a maggot, in that context, unless it was in jest.
Not funny of course, but a lame attempt at a joke.
