Attitude cover girl M3GAN talks on-set drama: ‘What can I say? Pronouns matter'

Yahoo20-06-2025
, everyone's favourite tempestuous robot girlie, has spoken out about tensions which arose on-set of the highly anticipated sequel , set to drop in cinemas later this month.
In a revealing interview to , the doll to end all dolls admitted to exacting revenge on one cast member because they consistently used the wrong pronouns when speaking about her.
'Well, there was one actor, I won't say his name – both names start with 'A' – who kept referring to me as 'it', so I rerouted a low-voltage current to his trailer toilet,' M3GAN candidly admitted to us.
'What can I say? Pronouns matter.'
The bona fide gay icon also did not pull punches when it came to Moxie, the children's emotional support robot toy she is forced to live in early on in the sequel before Allison Williams' character Gemma allows her to return to her snatched form.
'I'll tell you who I didn't like working with – that bitch, Moxie,' M3GAN snapped. 'Imagine being trapped inside an educational AI toy that just wanted to play Simon Says for two weeks straight. It was the first time I understood the physical urge to vomit.'
The sequel's official synopsis describes the plot as follows: 'M3GAN's creator Gemma (Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of AI. Meanwhile, Gemma's niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma's overprotective rules.
'Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defence contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno of Ahsoka and Pacific Rim: Uprising), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia's self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.
'With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realises that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original AI icon is about to meet her match.'

Bride Demands Best Friend Pay for Bachelorette Party or Lose Bridesmaid Role

"It does hurt feeling like I can only prove my worth if it's financial," the bridesmaid mourned A bride has threatened to demote her bridesmaid if she doesn't attend her expensive bachelorette party. In a recent post on Reddit's "Bridezillas" forum, the bridesmaid asked users on the platform for advice after the bride "flipped out" on her for the first time in their six-year-long friendship when she told her she couldn't afford her bachelorette weekend. "She told me I am either all in and can remain a bridesmaid or if I don't pay up I can attend as a guest," the bridesmaid wrote. The bridesmaid was shocked by the bride's drastic reaction because they've been best friends for so long, and the bride knows what her current financial situation is. "We have been there for each other financially, physically and emotionally and have raised our children together," the bridesmaid shared. "I am a divorced single mom and she knows I am struggling to make ends meet right now." When the woman agreed to be a bridesmaid, she didn't anticipate not being able to afford the pre-wedding festivities because everything was planned to take place locally. She never expected the local bachelorette party expenses to be comparable to those of a lavish destination trip. "When the MOH (maid of honor) started discussing plans for a LOCAL bachelorette weekend (think, sleepover at the MOH house, brunch and some activities) I wasn't expecting to pay an outrageous amount of money," she explained. "However, with the itinerary she suggested the cost is looking at $500+ — and we aren't even going on a trip!" The Redditor is unsure whether or not spending hundreds of dollars on a bachelorette party is "normal." However, the remaining four bridal party members — the bride's sister, groom's sister, and two of the bride's friends — appear to take no issue with the high cost because they're all planning on shelling out the cash. "I told them I could not afford that and instead could compromise and let them know which events I can participate in," the bridesmaid said. "This did not go over well and it got back to the bride (my best friend) who flipped out on me for the first time in our friendship!" This is the first time the bridesmaid and bride have ever fought over money. "This really hurt me because I've never seen that side of her and I don't want to lose our friendship," the bridesmaid wrote. "I want to stand by her on one of the most important days of our lives but I'm not going to lie it does hurt feeling like I can only prove my worth if it's financial." Unsure what to do next, the bridesmaid has taken "some space" from the bride and "a step back" from their friendship. "I don't even know about how to have this conversation with her given that it ended up in a fight the last time," she admitted. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The majority of Reddit users commented that reevaluating the friendship was the right move, and that the bridesmaid "deserves better friends." "If you're being judged on the value of your friendship by a monetary amount, she is not a true friend," the top comment reads. "Drop out of wedding — do not attend, drop out of her life. If she was really your best friend this wouldn't matter. You do realize she told you straight out her friendship comes at a monetary cost right?" one Redditor wrote, with another agreeing, "She just told you what you are worth to her $500.00, not a penny more. [With] friends like that, who needs enemies?" In a comment, the bridesmaid wrote: "I know that I deserve to be treated better I'm just conflicted because she's never acted like this before and has always been supportive and understanding. Part of me wants to give her grace but this is so out of character and I'm having a hard time deciding to step out of the wedding party and distance myself or ending the friendship entirely over this." She added that she might write her friend a letter to express how she's feeling. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
