It appears the males in "the gang" are assholes in life as well.

Goat3001

Well life sure isn't fair.

Meh.

Every rags-to-Hollywood success is littered with stories like this; some folks make it, some folks fall by the way side and some folks go upstairs with their basketball and never come back downstairs.

Five years into the show's run this comes off as "look at me!"

Fist of Doom

Especially if you don't have a contract.

It's pretty funny that Mac and the original "Sweet Dee" broke up and then Mac married the new "Sweet Dee," but I find this whole story a little hard to believe. I'm sure there is a lot more to the story than what she is telling us. I've never heard of her before today (has anyone else?) and don't recall seeing her in either of the pilots (convenient to say she was holding the boom mic).

In fact, I've watched It's Always Sunny since the start and don't ever remember her name ever being mentioned online or on Wikipedia (it is there now, but cites the article mentioned in this thread and another one published the same day...both three days ago). That being said, I don't necessarily doubt her claim she was involved, but I do doubt that it is as simple as "I was dating Mac, we broke up, I got fired."

I too would like to hear from the others involved, won't happen though. I don't think she was even holding the boom in the pilot we saw. She was never present in any capacity with F/X involved.

A few days after it was announced that Comedy Central was buying reruns for $400K/ep, this comes off as "Why didn't I get some ownership of this freakin' show!?"

I thought it was pretty common to cut communications with a buddy's girlfriend once they're no longer together, unless it was pre-existing or you're trying to take their place.

smashthesymbols

My thoughts exactly. There's no story here, she's just driving traffic to her blog.

Someone appears to be an asshole, but I think you're pointing at the wrong culprit.

HE Pennypacker

Yeah, could very well be.

Supermallet

I'd hit it.

Yup, I'm sure she was a real contributor. Methinks what really happened was they were fucking, she's hot, so of course they're going to give her a spot while that's going on. Now they are broken up, she never really had any creative or comedy input despite what she alludes to (yeah let's see some of that improv), and so they booted her since they only had her due to the relationship in the first place.

Dr Mabuse

She's a scabby whore!

She was actually the inspiration for The Snail.

wmansir

That's interesting. I suspect the truth is closer to her just being there because she was dating Rob. What's interesting is that in the first season Sweet Dee was much more the straight man of the group, probably due in part to them developing the role with her instead of someone like Olson who had a lot of improv experience.

Count Dooku

It's interesting [in a WTF kind of way] when you browse around her site.

She's a "Harvard-educated actress" who had eight small roles over 12 years.
Now she's a "life-caster" (some kind of blogger?) about married life.
Also there's a clip of her on MSNBC offering her opinions of Micheal Moore's latest movie.
And for some reason she was being interviewed on German TV about John Travolta.

Nth Power

Seems like she's the ex that gets kicked to the curb and thought she was more important than she actually was. I will cry one tear for her and two tears for some nude pics.

Jimmy James

Yeah, I totally buy that. :no:

I seem to recall reading exactly that actually. It wasn't until they really started working with Olson that they realized they had an actress that could be just as crazy as they were.

Edit: It pays to wiki things. Now I know where I read it. "Dee was the only major character in the show to be conceived without an actor in mind. Although she was originally written to be a female voice of reason to contrast with the other ridiculous characters, Dee's character quickly became an equal participant in The Gang's illicit and morally-questionable activities once Olson was cast."

Drexl

Well, maybe if she would blow DeVito like the others eventually did, they'd give her a piece of the show.

Jimmy James

In the presence of Fred Savage, no less.

whotony

"Sweet Dee"?

whatever the show this was a reference too in the title would be nice.

anyway is this important, really who cares.
