#13: Joyce DeWitt and Priscilla Barnes Later Described the Producers as Abusive
In separate interviews years after Three’s Company ended, both Joyce DeWitt and Priscilla Barnes spoke openly about their negative experiences working with the show’s producers. Each used the word “abusive” to describe the environment behind the scenes.
Priscilla Barnes, who played Terri Alden, was especially blunt, saying, “It was one of the worst experiences of my life.” Their comments echoed earlier criticisms about power imbalances and treatment on set, adding further context to why the show’s off-camera history remains as talked about as its on-screen comedy.
