One of the things fans love about The Big Bang Theory is that the main stars are friends in real life. But in 2016, there were reports that Kaley Cuoco – who didn’t like working with kids on the set – was a “diva” behind the scenes and that she often “flipped out” on the crew. Some thought it was due to her split from her first husband, Ryan Sweeting.
But what bothered fans was that it led to a feud between her and Mayim Bialik — who lost some of her earnings from the show due to a lawsuit. But in 2023, an actress in The Flight Attendant only had high praise for Cuoco’s work ethic… Here’s what really happened between her and the former Jeopardy host.
Mayim Bialik Wouldn’t Talk To Kaley Cuoco After Her Post-Divorce “Flip-Out”
In March 2016, two months before Cuoco and Sweeting’s divorce was finalized, an insider said that she “flips out about makeup, wardrobe, even the catering.” Celeb Dirty Laundry even wrote that “if [she] continues her diva behavior, she could be written off from the show.” Bialik also “won’t speak to Cuoco unless necessary, reported the media outlet,” per the source. But that’s not all
There were also rumors that she rekindled her romance with Johnny Galecki shortly after her split. CBL spilled: “She realized her love for Johnny after her divorce. They’re taking things slow because Kaley doesn’t want to ruin their friendship if things don’t work out again. Kaley and Johnny have no plans to go public until they are both ready.” the Role Play star later dismissed the claims.
“Johnny and I are very close now, but the worst part about that is I don’t want stories like that, especially during this divorce, to hurt my ex,” Cuoco said of Galecki.
She continued: “We have nods with each other. Johnny and I do this thing like a nod that says, ‘I got you. I get it.'” The former couple dated from 2008 to 2010 and disagreed about making their relationship public. Cuoco preciously told Vanity Fair that she had a “crush” on Galecki, “early on” in the show. “I had a very big crush on Johnny early on,” she said.
“I was so not even hiding it. He has such swagger,” she added. It wasn’t that simple, though. “We were both dating people at the time, but I only had eyes for Johnny,” the Based on a True Story star recalled. “Then, when I found out he had eyes for me too, I was like, Uhâoh, this is going to be trouble.”
Galecki, on the other hand, had no clue about Cuoco’s feelings for him. “I have a healthy ego, but you really have to kind of club me over the head to let me know you’re flirting with me,” he explained. “I had zero idea of any sort of crush before Kaley and I began dating.”

In 2016, amid the “diva” rumors, Cuoco admitted to Cosmopolitan that wine was “helping” her cope with her first divorce. “I’m accepting that I don’t know s**t,” she shared. “All these new feelings and emotions are hitting me, and I never thought that I would be this way. It’s getting better though.”
“The wine is helping. I’m telling you, wine will help any sort of misery — I learned that real fast.”
The Supernatural alum also opened up about her ruined family plans. “I thought I’d have a baby by now!” she revealed. “You see your life going one way, and then it’s the direct opposite way. I’m waking up going, ‘Oh my god, my life just flipped upside down.'” But In 2018, Cuoco reflected on her divorce, saying it “wasn’t [her] fault.”
She told Cosmopolitan: “I married someone for the first time who completely changed. The person I ended up with was not the person I originally met. And that wasn’t my fault — that was his.” At that time, she was about to tie the knot with her second husband, Karl Cook, who didn’t live with her throughout the marriage. They got divorced in 2021.

Kaley Cuoco’s Co-Star Confirmed She’s No “Diva” And Is “Super Hard-Working”
In 2023, Cuoco’s Flight Attendant co-star, Callie Hernandez, proved that Cuoco was not a “diva” to work with. “She also is super hard working,” she told Cinema Blend. “Both Kaley Cuoco and Jennifer Lopez, watching them makes me tired. Because I don’t know how they do everything that they do. I genuinely do not.”
“So kudos to them, and happy to be a part of anything with anyone who works that hard.”
As a matter of fact, the Meet Cute actress previously admitted to being “addicted” to her roles. “Yes, I’m totally addicted,” she told Collider about wanting to do more action films after Role Play. “That was one of the things I loved about this, to have an opportunity to play something that way and do some choreographed fight scenes and play a badass, but at the same time, play a mom.”
She continued: “It was really enticing. I loved that element.” While some think it’s
unfortunate that Cuoco is cast in the “same parts” over and over, the actress has no issues with it at all. “I just wanna play the same thing, over and over again. Speak for yourself, David [Oyelowo] (Role Play lead actor),” she said. “You might wanna reinvent yourself, but I don’t.”
Kaley Cuoco has a net worth of $110 million.
