All about the beef between Cheryl Hines and Rachael Harris

Cheryl Hines and Rachael Harris have been friends for a very long time, but even today they get on each other's nerves.

Harris spilled details of their ongoing beef, and said that it was Hines' tendency to say "yes to everything" which was the reason behind their disagreements. She said:

"She can't say no, she wants to take care of everybody. She's always trying to fix everybody and it's really admirable but then she gets herself painted into a corner. She says, 'I don't wanna invite this person to Thanksgiving,' and I say, 'Don't. It's better to feel a little guilty than resent them.' And then she says, 'Oh God, I just feel bad.'"

Citing an example, Harris said that when she went to Hines Thanksgiving with her kids, the entire time, Hines kept saying, “Oh God, why did I invite this person?” Since it was someone from the family, it was Hines who had to end up listening to the whole saga.

However, the complaints are mutual as Harris stated that Hines also gets irritated with her due to some of the former's personality traits. She explained that while on a trip to Hawaii, she was “happy to pay for a [hotel] upgrade. I'm not saying give me an upgrade...” but Hines rolled her eyes. This showed Harris that her friend didn't like where the whole thing was going.

She said:

“I'm like, 'What?! I want to have the best vacation.' She's like, 'You make me look like I'm high maintenance. I'm like, 'I'm not making you look like anything. I'm looking out for myself.”

Despite all this, the two ladies are there for each other and now on the show they will face each other as they cook winning dishes and work on their problems.

Harris was “not confident” in her cooking skills and was sure that Hines would win the show as the Lucifer star “was focused on trying to f**k with her.” Yet she did add that despite the challenges between the two, Harris "felt great about how everything ended on the show.”
