Overview

  • In a Vulture interview published June 16, 2025, Isaacs recalled an unnamed A-list actor pushing him out of a shot and described them as the “worst bully ever.”
  • He declined to name the star to avoid what he called “masochism and sabotage” with no productive outcome.
  • Isaacs recounted a pattern of on-set misconduct, including off-camera performance shifts and cruelty toward lower-paid crew members.
  • He criticized the reluctance of actors to discuss their pay publicly, calling the secrecy “ridiculously disproportionate.”
  • Isaacs revealed that he and his White Lotus Season 3 co-stars earned $40,000 per episode, which he described as a very low rate compared with typical big-budget series.
