Creators of NBC favorite “Will & Grace” David Kohan and Max Mutchnick have finally addressed the rumored rift between show stars Debra Messing and Megan Mullally, confirming that there were “squabbles” on set, but that they would never allow such things to overshadow the final season of the hit show.
When asked by EW about the rumored feud between the funny ladies — including Mullally’s decision to take a temporary leave of absence from the show — Mutchnick insisted that he and Kohan have done their best to keep all focus on the series.
“We always work under this kind of motto that everything’s about the work. It’s just about the work. And so if we stay true to that, then we just keep you guys out of whatever happened on the set this year because it would have done nothing but get in the way of the stories that we wanted to tell.”
He went on to admit that it “was not an easy year” to film, but feels, “the permanent legacy of the show is much more important to us than any temporary squabble that would take place on the stage.
Scuttlebutt surrounding the status of their relationship began earlier this year when fans noticed that Mullally and Messing stopped following each other on Instagram. The pair were also rarely pictured together in “Will & Grace”-themed social media posts.
Eric McCormack downplayed talk of a feud last year, telling Us Weekly that “people worried … entirely too much” about it, before adding, “The four of us get along like a house on fire, we always have.”
