However, Kaley Cuoco and Mayim Bialik’s relationship outside of working has been in question a few times before and many would like to know if the two actresses are friends in real life?

Many have claimed the actresses never liked each other

Over the past few years, many have claimed that Kaley Cuoco and Mayim Bialik’s feelings towards have not been good.

Cuoco, who plays Penny, and Bialik, who plays Amy, have been working together on the show since Season 3 and many have claimed that the two didn’t get along from the beginning.

The ongoing rumor that Cuoco and Bialik “hate each other,” and get in “cat fights” backstage on the set of The Big Bang Theory have been circulating through news outlets constantly.

Many outlets alleged that “Cuoco and Bialik’s relationship has become so bad that producers try to keep them apart on the set.”

According to “sources” no one really knows why the two women do not like each other and could not provide evidence as to why they have gotten into fights in the past.

Some websites even allege that Mayim Bialik tries to “stay away” from Cuoco but there is no truth in that claim.

They have never been on bad terms

As it turns out, the claims over Kaley Cuoco and Mayim Bialik’s relationship came after news outlets learned of negotiations over cast’s salaries.

Back in 2017, it was revealed that five of the original cast members–Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Kunal Nayyar, and Simon Helberg– took pay cuts “to free up money for raises for Bialik and [Melissa] Rauch.”

The actors agreed to decrease their salaried by $100,000 an episode in season 11 and 12 while Bialik and Rauch negotiated their new contracts.

When covering the story, Variety mentioned how big of a move this was for the cast and how doing so has brought them closer together.

“The move is evidence of the strong camaraderie among the key players on the show,” and added how the “general harmony behind the scenes has also contributed to the show’s enduring creative strength.”

As for Mayim Bialik and Kaley Cuoco’s relationship, they were never on bad terms and actually “love each other.”

While speaking to PEOPLE about the pay cuts, Bialik revealed that everyone in the cast thinks highly of each other and love working together.

“I’m happy to report that we have a very cohesive cast and we all know that our strength is together. We all really love each other, we love going to work and we’re very excited to do two more seasons,” Bialik shared.
