Gossip Girl
I think I found one of Enty’s sources, and surprise! It’s not you! It’s a site that allows people to post anonymously about…things. You can find all kinds of gossip and other things on it!
Just this month a person in the industry was dreading having to work with Cumberbatch again. She likes him generally, but she HATES his “wife.” She worked with them before in New York. This industry person repeatedly talks about how Sophie behaves, and hoo boy! This stuff is gossip gold!
I want to cut and paste this whole lot! It’s just a fricken treasure trove! Where to begin?!
Well, this is the first post I found. It was from the beginning of this month. I mean, just reading it, at first you don’t know who this is talking about, at all. It’s just an industry person talking about somebody’s wife who is just awful. And then – MIC DROP!
I’ve talked about this before. I work in the movies, and I have to do some work on something ive mentioned here before, and im dreading it because the wife of one of the actors is likely going to be hanging around and she is a fucking nutcase. its so bad i may have to talk to superiors about it getting in the way of me doing my job.

careful. if the actor is a hot commodity and she comes with th territory you might be expendable 9-2-2018 12:59pm
Op- I’m not 9-2-2018 1:01pm
you cant really say its her or me. so you have to come up wiht some alternate scenario and see if you can get this handled 9-2-2018 1:01pm
Op. Obviously I can’t say her or me, but there have been a few times people’s behavior has got in the way of a production. I just hate saying anything, it’s so rare but she is a nut 9-2-2018 1:03pm
i know what its like to have to work with crazy or untrustworthy or distracting people. it is a tightrope at times 9-2-2018 1:03pm
Op- her husband used to be a nice guy but now he is weirdly lying like her about random shit. It’s such a weird situation 9-2-2018 1:04pm
buy good noise cancelling headphones lol 9-2-2018 1:05pm
Addiction of some kind 9-2-2018 1:06pm
Op I’ve suspected some sort of severe mental illness 9-2-2018 1:06pm
Alcoholism can look like severe mental illness. Gl op! Ignore her 9-2-2018 1:07pm
np: Maybe stop anticipating her being a nut, and having to say anything. Not saying it won’t happen but for sure planning for it means you’re attracting a problem. 9-2-2018 1:05pm
np do you work in the industry and have any experience with it or are you saying this based on what you think might be true bc you’ve read abotu it or seen it on tv? 9-2-2018 1:01pm
i am saying this bc i have had jobs where more important people who imght not behave nicely get treated better anyway. 9-2-2018 1:02pm
Op- no, everyone knows she is a problem. 9-2-2018 1:03pm
ok so there’s your answer. if nobody has done anything about it, then why? it is unlikely to have a resolution if everyoen knows and nobody acts 9-2-2018 1:04pm
Op- they have put up w her and are trying to think of a solution. Hey banned her from areas last time. But I’m gonna ha e to say she can’t be in my area or around me anymore 9-2-2018 1:05pm
Not to be a pain but why does her screaming and crying have anything to do with you? 9-2-2018 1:07pm
Op- because it’s literally in the middle of production. For ex she showed up w her own paps once. There are like 50 people who’s job it is to deal w on set photos. She started screaming and we couldn’t Move forward because she demanded that she be photographed on set w her paps. 9-2-2018 1:08pm
np: That boundaried, healthy. I dont see this as being confrontational. 9-2-2018 1:08pm
Op it should be fine, but there are certain areas she wants to be so if she shows up and can’t get in it’s gonna be a freak out. 9-2-2018 1:12pm
Im sorry. Let her freak out. Hold your boundary. I wouldnt preemptively say anything to anyone. You do your thing so you are protected and productive. If she pitches a fit and you have been professional, the drama is all hers. Stay clean, calm, and in control. But saying something beforehand isn’t any of those things. It comes off as petty, and diva-like yourself. 9-2-2018 1:16pm
Op- I’m ok saying something before hand. People are aware it’s jist a tricky situation w a few more moving parts 9-2-2018 1:21pm
she’s protecting him from floozies? 9-2-2018 1:00pm
Can you just ignore her? 9-2-2018 1:00pm
Op- she literally has screaming fits to the point of tears in the middle of work 9-2-2018 1:01pm
Ugh. I’d speak to your supervisors about how to manage her while still doing what needs to be done. I’d avoid giving an ultimatum, though. 9-2-2018 1:02pm
Omg please please tell us who she is! 9-2-2018 1:04pm
What did people do in the past when she has done this? I mean, if you already know about her behavior, others must too. There must be a way people have dealt with this. 9-2-2018 1:05pm
Op I think it’s tricjy because I suspect she is highly mentally ill 9-2-2018 1:06pm
Ok but the standard should be her behavior in the work place – not the reason for the behavior. First and foremost, everyone should be able to efficiently do their job. Any behavior that impedes that should be documented and a plan should be made to address it. Start thinking of ways to describe behavior objectively: She (state behavior) for (duration) at (intensity) causing (whoever couldn’t complete job and what they couldn’t complete.) 9-2-2018 1:16pm
Op- yeah I’m going to. People are aware. I dislike drama and generally try to stay out of it but i have people I can report it to. 9-2-2018 1:17pm
I worked in tv and movies. What is your general role? 9-2-2018 1:01pm
Op- I don’t want to go into too much. Detail. But maybe we know each other! 9-2-2018 1:02pm
doubt it. I’m usually dealing with minors. 😉 I’ve had my own share of issues on set. Spouses can be tough and a philandering dh does make even a non celebrity a nut case! 9-2-2018 1:06pm
Op I mean I’ve posted before who it was. It’s just ugh. Kids that’s tough. 9-2-2018 1:07pm
Tell us!!! 9-2-2018 1:10pm
Op its cumberbatchs wife. And I hear rumour her side piece has knocked her up again and whenever she is pregnant she has fashion deals so she is gonna be at every goddamn event. 9-2-2018 1:11pm +3 likes
Np- I’ve heard stories about her from theatre groups here in the city. This doesn’t surprise me 9-2-2018 1:19pm
Why does she get fashion deals while pg? 9-2-2018 1:20pm
Op no clue how that works. All I know is he uses it for promotion and she is required to be there when “they” are expecting 9-2-2018 1:21pm
She’s kind of weird looking 9-2-2018 1:23pm
I just looked her up. She seems sane, well at least as much as he is. They both come off as avant garde. 9-2-2018 1:24pm
Op her behaviour certainly isn’t. 9-2-2018 1:25pm
are you LA or NYC or one of the other current tax incentive spots for filming? 9-2-2018 1:13pm
Op- I’m in NY 9-2-2018 1:13pm
me, too. Cumberbatch is a giant pita with the baggage and yes his wife is a nut job because he’s gay. is this a new bf or the old one? 9-2-2018 1:20pm
Op I have no idea and I’ve never heard anything about him being gay 9-2-2018 1:22pm
yep. He is. She is a total nightmare. I do know that. How long is the production schedule? 9-2-2018 1:23pm
Op I’ve heard other rumours as to why they are together. I couldn’t tell you which one is true, but I’ve never heard about him being gay. 9-2-2018 1:25pm
I’m afraid of posting the link ‘cos I don’t want to see nannies descend on it and scare this poor lady off! She’s obviously had enough torment – and isn’t he just filming in Atlanta? I wonder if she has another story to tell!
I’m searching back to find more of her posts. OMFG!!!
There is SO. MUCH. STUFF! How she demanded to be on set, how she screams at everybody, how she abuses him in front of everyone, how she claims she’s the wife and everybody MUST do her bidding – or else! OMFG!!!!
Seriously. EVERYBODY KNOWS. Except for the general public and his nannies! But in the industry? EVERY. BODY. KNOWS.
And nans, if you’re thinking this is just some skeptic bating the folks on this site – think again! This person posted a LOT and stuff at times before the skeptics ever knew about it!
Oh, I’m gonna share with the class! Give me some time to gather the goods!
Checked, it’s legit…
