The Hocus Pocus star was on David Duchovny‘s new Fail Better podcast this week and brought up an ancient beef she had with Lindsay Lohan. The child star. As in when she still was a child star.
OK, so Bette had a sitcom on CBS in the year 2000. You’d be forgiven for forgetting as Bette only lasted 18 episodes, not even a full season order back then, before getting canceled. And she at least partially blames 13-year-old Lindsay! She explained:

So it was her responsibility to hold the child star to her contract, even if that meant getting litigious. It’s been known to happen. Stars have been sued in order to keep them on projects they decided they didn’t want to do. Whoopi Goldberg was infamously sued to force her to do the ’90s dinosaur detective movie Theodore Rex she’d agreed to. (TBH, Whoopi had the second sight IRL on realizing that one was going to be a
