One actor was allegedly forced to say “adieu” to Emily in Paris.
Rupert Everett—who had a small role as interior designer Giorgio Barbieri in the finale of season four—recently claimed he was fired from the Netflix show, sharing how deeply he was impacted by the decision.
“I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, ‘Next year we’ll speak,’” he told Vanity Fair Italia in an interview published July 29. “I waited for them to call me—but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me.”
He added, “Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. When they write the screenplay, they think they want you—but then things change, and they lose your character. I don’t know why.”
But despite his grasp of the industry, Rupert said the decision still took its toll. “For me, it was a tragedy,” the 66-year-old said. “I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn’t get over it.”
E! News has reached out to Netflix for comment but has not yet heard back.
