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.
As for the alleged feud she has with Cuoco, we can guess that was never a thing and the two women have always been good friends.
