I guess the old routine of locking your bedroom door and screaming into a pillow doesn’t work for this stressed A list writer-producer anymore.
The A lister is on the top of their game and is considered to be one of the best in the industry, but with several successful television projects under their cap and a demand for more, they’re just struggling to cope.
‘[Name omitted] adored the job for so many years,’ a source confides, ‘but with kid[s], work feuds and mounting pressure, I think they’re falling out of love. [Name omitted] keeps joking that he understands why Dave Chapelle quit and ran away all those years ago.’
‘[Name omitted] needs to scale back,’ the source continues. ‘Everyone is telling them.’
The source didn’t use the word breakdown at any point, but that’s what I was getting.
So, tell me, Gossipers:
Who is our A lister?
David E Kelly from Big Little Lies

Lee Daniels. Empire and Star creator and producer. He hasn’t made a film for a good few years and this might be why.
LikeLike
Lee isn’t even the showrunner on Empire or Star, so he shouldn’t be feeling too much stress, but with that being said, the fact he hasn’t directed a movie in years is weird.

Ryan Murphy. It is insane the amount of shows that he produces in a year. He’s probably the most prolific producer-creator in television. American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Feud, 9-1-1 and he has several more coming due to his new $300 million dollar Netflix deal.

I’m sure he’s included in the $300 million total, dear. If Netflix are paying them each that much, then they truly do have more money than sense.

It seems logical to try and tie Ryan Murphy down considering the sheer amount of success that he’s had with FX, but the contract just seems ludicrous to me…

He has naked pictures of the head of Netflix. The only explanation 😉

Like this guess. “screaming into a pillow” and “work feuds” could be nods to Scream Queens and Feud.
