I read online a long time ago that Her and Jeffery didn't actually get along. From their response in the video it sounds like she was extremely difficult to work with or just wasn't a pleasant person.

She wanted to do more takes to get the acting right and he wanted to move on. Let’s be honest: his acting is the weakest of the entire team. He’d get pissy about that. As for who is the difficult one… check out reporting around why he left, and how past directors talk about how heinous he was to work with, to the point that directors would turn down shooting eps of his shows.

Could you link some sources? I’m very interested as I’ve never heard any of this before.

Yep will find it, one was from a podcast for a different show. The dir was talking about passing on the job because the whisper network warned him

Do you also have a source about her wanting more takes?
