‘Friends’ Star Recalls Facing Death Threats Over ‘Groundbreaking’ Role

‘Friends’ Star Recalls Facing Death Threats Over ‘Groundbreaking’ Role
SHARE

Jane Sibbett, best known for her role as Carol Willick on the hit sitcom Friends, recently opened up about the challenges she faced playing a lesbian character on the show. As the 30th anniversary of Friends approaches, Sibbett revealed that she received death threats and verbal abuse for her portrayal of David Schwimmer’s ex-wife.

Despite the groundbreaking nature of her character’s sexuality and the positive depiction of divorce and co-parenting on screen, Sibbett faced backlash from viewers and even members of her own church. She recounted instances where she was accosted by strangers and acquaintances, including a child yelling obscenities at her and a woman from her church telling her she was going to hell.

Even Sibbett’s own father initially refused to support her role on the show, opting to host a bible study during Friends’ airtime instead. However, after an episode in which Carol married her girlfriend Susan aired, Sibbett’s godfather wrote a letter to her father expressing pride in her performance, which ultimately changed his perspective.

Despite the challenges she faced, Sibbett remains grateful for the opportunity to play such a groundbreaking character. She believes that the portrayal of Carol and Ross’s co-parenting relationship was a positive example for viewers. Sibbett also shared a behind-the-scenes story about an improvised scene that made it into the final cut of an episode, showcasing her creativity and spontaneity as an actress.

Overall, Sibbett’s experience on Friends was a mix of highs and lows, but she remains proud of the impact her character had on television and the representation it provided for the LGBTQ+ community.
