Mindy Cohn Reveals Facts of Life Reboot Was Ruined By Unnecessary Drama From Greedy Co-Star
Mindy Cohn revealed that the reboot plans for Facts of Life were called off due to internal conflict. According to Cohn, a cast member tried to negotiate a separate spinoff deal causing problems.
The Facts of Life is an American sitcom that originally aired on NBC from August 24, 1979, to May 7, 1988, making it the longest-running sitcom of the 1980s. The show featured a notable cast, including Mindy Cohn, who recently discussed why a potential reboot was called off.
Cohn revealed on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live that the reboot plans were dropped due to an internal conflict. While Cohn and former co-stars Lisa Whelchel, Kim Fields, and Nancy McKeon were all on board, one cast member attempted to negotiate a different spinoff deal, causing considerable discord within the group. This betrayal led to a breakdown in communication among the cast, jeopardizing future revival prospects.
Mindy Cohn referred to the unnamed co-star as a "greedy b*tch," stating, "I’ll say it, she’s a greedy b*tch,” and claimed that the rest of the Facts of Life stars immediately ceased communication. “Now, we do [talk] ish, but it was an ouch.”
Which cast memeber did Mindy Cohn talk about?
According to Us Weekly, while Cohn declined to reveal which of her former Facts of Life costars is the “greedy b*tch,” she perhaps overlooked that social media is a powerful tool and netizens are quite savvy. Cohn’s Instagram shows her spending time with Fields and McKeon over the past few years, but there are seemingly no photos of Whelchel.
Furthermore, she stated that she won't deny or confirm whom she was referring to. “What it is, is really sad. Some people are so desperate for either money or fame that it leads them to do things that, to me, I guess I’m still not that jaded. It shocks me.”
Cohn concluded, “It always just kind of shocks me. You’re going to do that for money or fame? It always freaks me out that people will throw deep, true friendships under the bus for a dollar.”
