Blind Item #9 - Reader Blind

Many years ago, there were two successful TV shows made by the same company.

The first one featured two male leads. The older one is now deceased. The younger one is gay but has been in a very long lavender marriage.  He is not actually the father of his children.  The second show was kind of an ensemble with the cast split between two different locations.  Behind the scenes, this show was a huge party.

There was a crossover between the two shows and the two male actors who were arguably the most well known of the second show's cast discovered the first show actor was gay and so bullied and taunted and mocked him during the shoot.  Finally both show's A list producer/creator who was also an actor had to step in. He was a very authoritative guy and the two second show cast members quickly stopped this behavior.
