Chuck Lorre had to change a rule after the darkest moment in TBBT's history took place behind the camera.
Jim Parsons And Mayim Bialik Still Don't Follow Johnny Galecki On IG
Tension within the cast of The Big Bang Theory? Nothing has ever been confirmed. However, rumors have swirled for years that four of the main stars may have been implicated. That includes Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik. In fact, the rumor continues to swirl today, as Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik still don't follow Johnny Galecki on Instagram.
The alleged feud started to resurface a few weeks ago after an insider brought up how different the four careers have gone since then, and the way Bialik and Parsons might be doing more to ensure the long-term success of The Big Bang Theory and the cast's royalties.
Nonetheless, aside from that, there has been some shots fired in the past. Johnny Galecki in particular went after Jim Parsons after he didn't agree with the way the actor left the show behind.
Galecki revealed, "I was shocked. We were just blindsided that day. And not necessarily shocked by Jim's decision, but that he hadn't had that conversation with his castmates first to prepare us," Galecki said.
"So yes, it could have been handled better. We're a family; have a conversation."
Kaley Cuoco felt similar to Galecki on the day, and was not prepared for such an announcement from her co-star.
"The shock of Oh my god, what is next? was scary," Kaley Cuoco said. "I mean, we cried for hours that day." "We thought we were going to do another year, so all of the sudden your life kind of flashes before your eyes. ... I couldn't breathe. It just felt like a death, but also a new horizon for everybody as well."

A Big Bang Theory Guest Star Finally Spoke Ill About The Show, Wanting Off The Show After A Nightmare Week
He was set to appear on 10 episodes of The Big Bang Theory, but requested his exit after just one show.
It was later mentioned that although Kaley and Johnny weren't aware of Parsons' intentions, other cast members did know about it. Simon Heldberg admits Parsons briefed him on his future, and understood why he was stepping out of the show. Odd that Kaley and Johnny didn't get the same warning after more than a decade of working together...
Johnny Galecki And Kaley Cuoco's Feud With Jim Parsons And Mayim Bialik Resurfaced
According to Closer, a divide between the four might be "unfixable."
The story suggests Bialik and Parsons agreed to a Young Sheldon cameo in order to enhance TBBT's value. On the flip side, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki turned down the offer without thinking twice.
The insider notes this caused a major dilemma behind the scenes.
- “It's crazy how things have reversed in the six years since Big Bang Theory went off the air. Jim has become a key architect of the interconnected universe via his executive producing and narration role on Young Sheldon, which made him tens of millions of dollars beyond the vast fortune he built on the original show, where he made more than $25 million per year in the final seasons.”
Different career paths also added to the tension.
- "During the same time period, Mayim had the profound epiphany that being a dedicated TV comedy actress, not a part-time game show host, was her destiny. And she, of course, sees a similar future to what Jim has enjoyed during the last few years as Warner Bros. seeks to make more shows set in this continuity. But today, in 2024, Kaley and Johnny aren't involved whatsoever,” the insider went on to reveal.

A Traumatizing Scene On The Big Bang Theory Caused Mayim Bialik To Be Out Of Work For A Month
Mayim Bialik struggled to film a scene with Jim Parsons during the season 11 Big Bang Theory finale.
Ultimately, these sorts of issues were not expected to take place, especially when the show came to an end.
- “Yes, they all have more money than you can possibly imagine but if you had predicted eight years ago that this would be the dynamic among the cast in the 2020's, you would have sounded insane,” the source adds.
- “Knowing Jim and Mayim, it has to be annoying to them that they appear publicly to be squeezing every dollar out of this franchise while Johnny and Kaley follow their respective muses, but it's not that simple. [Jim and Mayim] are true believers in the power and international reach of the Big Bang Theory universe, and Johnny and Kaley just feel like they have better things to do with their time.”
None of The Bang Theory actors have commented on the matter.
Kaley Cuoco Doesn't Follow Mayim Bialik Back On IG Either
Fans on Reddit have also noticed the divide between Kaley Cuoco and Mayim Bialik. Mayim does in fact follow Kaley, but Cuoco refuses to tap the follow button back... All these years later, that hasn't changed.
Fans speculated on Reddit. Some believe that there is a rift between the two, while others call it an ego move from Kaley.
"From what I read in a few places, no. Bernadette got along well with both of them but Kaley and Mayim had different “energies” lol. You can see it in some of the interviews they did when the series ended," a fan speculates.
"Very bizarre take and also perception of social media. I have an instagram where I have friends and old classmates etc. I follow everyone. And one very restricted. Guess which one I actually use and not just as a facade."
Let's just hope Kaley forgot to press the follow button back... Even though it has been years.
