The situation was pretty horrible and it's so bizarre because Kate and Jeri just had this amazing chemistry together. I feel sorry for both Jeri and Kate. The show was struggling and instead of working on the writing, the producers decided to fix the shows problems with sex appeal. Kate felt that this was utterly demeaning to her and given how horrible hollywood is to women 40 and over and I can't blame her for feeling that way. However, her rage was directed at the wrong person and Jeri was just there to do a job. Thankfully, Kate has profusely apologised to Jeri and they patched things up a while ago. They even appear at conventions together now. At least they didn't plumb the same depths as the infamous Shatner/Takei feud 😆
