Jerry Seinfeld has a reputation, and it is not necessarily a good one. Well, Julia Louis Dreyfus shared a story about the final season of Seinfeld, and it is not helping things for him.
Did you know that the multi-Emmy winner was pregnant twice during the filming of the sitcom? The first time, the show hid her pregnancy with anything they could. The second time, they said fuck it.
Or so it seemed. Recently, when she was on the podcast Wiser Than Me with special guest host Jean Smart, she relived a conversation she had with her old boss: “When I was about four/five months pregnant, and just starting to show. Jerry came up to me, and he said, ‘You know, we have this idea, in the writers’ room, that maybe we will write it in, that Elaine is just getting fat.'”
Since she was hormonal, because she was pregnant, she cried. But every other woman who is not PMSing or pregnant is thinking, how hard can I punch him in the balls and explain to him in a way that he might be able to comprehend that was a very, very, very bad idea.
Hopefully, he learned his lesson before he said anything as asinine to his wife when she was pregnant with any of their three children. What a dumb ass. And that is why George was the one we all love and loved!
And good thing for Seinfeld, it was the final season. Had he not cancelled the series, I am sure things would have been awkward between the two.
