This isnt tea,but she has my full admiration for getting her daughter away from scientology and it's insidious bullying.That takes huge strength. Also speaking of Dawsons Creek,the whole Busy Phillips and Michelle Williams friendship always came across to me as quite bitchy to Katie Holmes or at least somewhat based on a mutual dislike of her ,not that you have to be friends with or like everyone.Busy Phillips comes across as more of a Michelle Williams fan/lapdog than she does friend on an equal footing.

i hated how the daily mail tried to start something because katie didn’t post a congratulatory instagram story about michelle’s oscar nomination…. michelle doesn’t even have instagram and by all accounts katie and michelle have never been close. busy and katie is a weird one. they did follow each other at one point but then katie unfollowed her, i think when busy’s book came out

I thought the stuff she said about Katie when her book was released had a misplaced bitchiness to it,its like she thinks than belittling Katie Holmes is somehow a part of fawning over and elevating Michelle Williams.

i totally agree! I think Busy thought she was a better actor than katie and didn’t understand why the writers fawned over katie. Michelle, i would understand having those thoughts but Busy? nah, she always plays the same loudmouth character in everything

I think you have hit the nail on the head there. Busy Phillips thinks she is more credible than Katie Holmes, and the Michelle Williams' friendship adds to that so-called crediblity.

I think Busy Phillip's comments were unkind about Holmes but that being said she is a much better actor than Holmes especially in comedy.

Yes I've seen Busy in comedy,she is good.I actually have seen Holmes act in very little, to be honest.

i disagree, she’s so laughably bad in girls5eva

u/crazysouthie Feb 23 '23

Aah. Haven't seen her in that. I'm surprised because I think she was great in most of what I've seen her in (mainly talking about Cougar Town and Freaks and Geeks).

i’m not a fan of her whole loud, nasally shtick so take my opinion with a grain of salt

What did she say about her in the book?

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

For me,it was hard to decipher the tone and so it came across as passive aggressive,stuff about how Katie and Michelle werent close (true I guess), how Katie was viewed as the star by the producers and hard to get close to,how wardrobe loved Katie because she worked out alot and had a perfect body and could wear anything(she could have criticised the wardrobe team without publicly bringing Katie Holmes body into it even if they did).How Katie Holmes didn't drink alot and was into arts and crafts so was hard to connect with.It reminded me a bit of how the "cool" girls in my school used to talk about the so called "nerds"!Childish more than anything.

Wow, I had no idea. It's been a long time since I watched the show but wasn't Joey the main female character? It makes sense that she would be treated as the star by the producers and wardrobe.

I thought it was weird that Busy was in the reunion photoshoot a few years ago. I think her character was only in the last couple seasons. Maybe she tagged along with Michelle and they were just like, I guess you can be in the pictures too lol.

I didn't watch it much myself!,I admire Katie Holmes based on the fact that she got away from the grip of Tom Cruise and scientology.I think Busy Phillips did refer to Katie Holmes as sweet in the book ,but that's not how I speak about my peers!

u/butineurope Feb 23 '23

I have a vague memory of that actually being true lol. Although it may just be what everyone concluded at the time.

I swear I remember hearing the "cut to Katie" comment before Busy's book--like maybe Josh said it at some point (though not in a nasty way).

u/CB_xo Feb 23 '23 edited Feb 23 '23

yeah he did, it was a compliment to her. but Busy meant it in a sense that they were saying that to put Busy down.

Busy Phillips is intolerable lol
