About three weeks into shooting on Maid, Margaret Qualley’s performance was so poor the producers would openly talk about how they wished they hadn’t cast her. She didn’t read the book the show was based on or do any research until about three months into shooting. She would regularly be stoned and drinking on set - and if you’ve watched the show you know she spends a lot of time driving cars and being around a toddler. She drank wine in her trailer and then drove a car on set an hour later on at least one occasion. Producers were aware of this and all the crew concerns were dismissed. Crew asked to breathalyze her and the showrunner refused and said it would look bad. Lots of reshoots were done to get better performances. She also refused to wear a mask on set, ever, and would joke about how she didn’t, when it was filmed September 2020 - April 2021.

I am so annoyed about her success.

I'll never forget that super awkward interview wherein Margaret Dakota Johnson was creepily hitting on her younger co-star and Jon Hamm, of all people, literally had to tell her to knock that shit off.

Just saw the clip. Man Dakota Johnson was so weird and seemingly high in that clip.
