* One of the reasons that ''VideoGame/Superman64'' was the way it was is due to the new management of Warner Licensing who hated the team and their project mainly because they wanted a high profile developer to create the game and went on their way to sabotage the game by requesting nonsensical gameplay ideas such as making the game a VideoGame/SimCity clone and rejecting features such as Superman swimming under water.

* Things went sour between Creator/ChisaYokoyama and Creator/MayaOkamoto after the latter decided not to show up in the ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'' live performances due to health reasons. Yokoyama became offended when Okamoto participated in another unrelated production at the time, causing her to believe she wanted to avoid the responsibility of doing them while making the rest of the cast look bad simultaneously. This led Yokoyama to make some rather backhanded responses about her absence constantly. Okamoto did not take this well at all and it took some convincing from composer Kohei Tanaka for them to [[TeethClenchedTeamwork appear together]] in the Budokan revue performances. Up to this day, the two of them are not on speaking terms with one another. This even extends to ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30'' where Yokoyama's character [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMsz_iZJJKg references every one of her teammates]] in the aforementioned series [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg except for the character played by Okamoto]].

* During the making of ''VideoGame/PoliceQuest: Open Season'', Daryl Gates' visit to Sierra headquarters was very tense, coming off the Rodney King incident. Sierra staffers, many of whom were from the L.A. area, were reportedly incensed that the company would even consider associating with Gates.

** In 1993, Houston Oilers defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan (who was already known for being difficult to work with/coach against, something that both Mike Ditka and Jimmie Johnson can attest to) slugged offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride on the sidelines (during a nationally televised game no less) after the former got sick of the latter's poor play calling. Ryan would leave the team at the end of the season.

** After a dispute over gambling debts, Washington Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton went so far as to draw guns on each other in the Wizards locker room. This obvious violation of both NBA rules and District of Columbia laws saw both players suspended indefinitely and charged with felonies. Arenas would resume his career and has largely stayed out of trouble since, Crittenton (already a fringe player to begin with) was basically declared PersonaNonGrata and was recently released from prison after serving 10 years for manslaughter.
** Probably the most famous NBA example would be then-Golden State Warriors star Latrell Sprewell choking out his head coach P. J. Carlesimo after an [[Main/BerserkButton argument about lazy passing]] during a practice, then coming back 20 minutes later and punching Carlesimo in the jaw. (This was after Sprewell fought teammate Jerome Kersey and threatened him with a 2x4 two years prior.) Sprewell would be suspended 68 games by the NBA, the Warriors tried to void his $23 million contract but this was [[KarmaHoudini overturned in arbitration]].

** While they never came to blows it was no secret that former LA Lakers teammates Kobe Bryant (who was killed in a helicopter crash in 2020) and Shaquille O'Neal absolutely hated each other's guts, to the point that O'Neal briefly resumed his rap career just to release a DissTrack slamming Kobe. [[TeethClenchedTeamwork Didn't stop them from winning 4 NBA titles together.]]
** Michael Jordan once punched teammate Steve Kerr (best known today for being the coach of the Golden State Warriors when the Warriors were dominating the league in the late 2010s) in the face during practice over the latter's lack of hustle. [[RunningGag They also won 4 titles together.]]

** In the NFL we had New York Jets [[Main/{{Jobber}} fourth string linebacker]] IK Enemkpali punching starting QB Geno Smith and breaking his jaw over $600. Enemkpali would immediately be cut and was out of the league the following year, Smith would wash out with the Jets but win Comeback Player of the Year in 2022 with the Seahawks.

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity'': Director Navid Khonsari recalled Creator/RayLiotta (the voice of protagonist Tommy Vercetti) frequently complaining on set and found him difficult to work with as a result. "In some sessions he was...into it, but then sometimes...he was very dark and couldn't work", said Sam Houser.

Yokoyama became offended when Okamoto participated in another unrelated production at the time, causing her to believe she wanted to avoid the responsibility of doing them while making the rest of the cast look bad at the same time.

This even extends to ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30'' where Yokoyama's character [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMsz_iZJJKg references every one of her teammates]] in the aforementioned series [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg except for the character played by Okamoto]].

* In ''Film/ADivasChristmasCarol'', when Ebony Scrooge is filming a Christmas video in Paris, she yells at the crew for dumping too fake snow on her, causing her to gag, not having her water or cell phone once off the set and bringing her toasted bread for breakfast instead of her requested French Toast, the latter of which drove a male crewmember to tears. Her large backup band also have little nice to say about her, even admitting in her ''Series/BehindTheMusic'' episode that she was a nightmare to work for, she fired numerous people for trivial reasons, she allegedly killed her best friend via a car accident with a cut brake line to further her career [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and that she smelled really bad.]]

* In the 1970s, Nicol Williamson and Creator/HelenMirren co-starred in a disastrous production of ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' where they absolutely hated each other. Years later, Creator/JohnBoorman cast them as enemies in ''Film/{{Excalibur}}'', believing that their natural animosity would be perfect. Neither realised the other was in the film until they'd signed on. Mirren recalled that they got on very well once they were "freed from the shackles of ''Macbeth''".
* Nicol Williamson was a habitual offender. His history of backstage misbehavior was so notorious that when he was cast as Creator/JohnBarrymore in Paul Rudnick's comedy ''I Hate Hamlet'' in 1991, it was against the express advice of the casting director. In a 2007 ''New Yorker'' article, Rudnick recalls Williamson binge-drinking, sexually harrassing the stage manager, offering unsolicited "direction" to co-stars, and-- eventually-- jabbing Evan Handler, who played the lead, in the buttocks with a prop sword during a swordplay sequence. (Handler walked off the production that night and did not return to the role.)

* In ''[[YMMV/LEGOAdventurers LEGO Studios Backlot]]'', Johnny Thunder does not seem to get along well with other cast members of the TroubledProduction.

** [[NiceCharacterMeanActor While Mitsuki plays the kind senpai and "schwester" to Hime's character, in reality, she can't stand Hime]]. For the most part, the tension is manageable, until Hime learns that Mitsuki is a former friend of hers who betrayed her, and Mitsuki, who felt that Hime also wronged her, realizes that Hime wasn't just pretending to be ignorant of it. Their hostility gets so bad that Mai asks them if they no longer want to be "schwestern," and rumors spread about Mitsuki bullying Hime into becoming her schwester. Luckily, Hime stands up to Mitsuki, and the two make some progress in reconciling.

* ''VideoGame/LANoire'': Many employees described Brendan [=McNamara=] and his behavior as a tyrant and a bully and one of the angriest people in the world, He would scream and lash out at his employees if he didn't get his way and his behavior was described to be so stress-inducing, some staff members would quit after 2 weeks. Even [=McNamara=] would admit this by describing the situation as "Things got violent".

* An anonymous source on the game VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion offend told about moments where the developer and the publisher would clash stating here:

* During development of VideoGame/CrashBandicoot1996, David Siller's relationship with Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin was frequently strained. It eventually got to the point where Siller was removed from production after he hired Josh Mancell of Mutato Muzika to write the music.

** [[WebVideo/OneyPlays Chris O'Neil]] called out Tom for putting ''WebAnimation/ASDFMovie'' references in "Fun Dead", which he saw as disrespectful, and for other grievances. This likely caused him to have his role of Eduardo be recasted to Brock Baker.

* An anonymous source on the game VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion offend told about the not so positive interaction between them and the publisher stating here:

** An affidavit written by Creator/ChuckHuber in 2019 during the height of a scandal surrounding Creator/VicMignogna about alleged sexual misconduct towards coworkers and fans claims that in the decades before his eventual firing from Funimation, Mignogna had hostile relationships with his fellow Funimation voice actors. According to Huber, these said voice actors often bullied Mignogna for his religious and political beliefs while speaking negatively about his success. Many of Mignogna's supporters have cited the affidavit as proof that his accusers (namely Creator/JamieMarchi, Creator/MonicaRial, Creator/SeanSchemmel, Creator/DCDouglas, and Creator/ChristopherSabat) conspired to destroy Mignogna's career out of jealousy.

** Chris O'Neil, otherwise known as [=OneyPlays=], called out Tom for putting ''WebAnimation/ASDFMovie'' references in "Fun Dead", which he saw as disrespectful, and for other grievances. This likely caused him to have his role of Eduardo be recasted to Brock Baker.

* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'': The third-season episode "Juliet Is the Sun," where Marcia – having been cast as the female lead titular role in a middle school play, "Romeo and Juliet," begins to act like a complete spoiled diva and is not getting along with others. Her behavior escalates at practice one afternoon, where she fights with the director about having to follow directions and the script and especially about her co-star, Harold, whom she considers awkward, having a "squeaky" voice and is otherwise unfit for the role. (This, despite her teachers trying – but losing – their patience with her and reminding her this is not her next big break for Hollywood.) Eventually her teachers have enough and Carol – who unknown to Marcia came to practice (to deliver advertising materials for the play program) and witnessed the aforementioned exchanges – tells her she and her teachers have decided to dismiss her from the play.
