Cohn spoke on the SiriusXM show 'Jeff Lewis Live' about how a revival of the beloved sitcom was in the works—but it all came crashing down after one of her former costars sparked some 'drama' by going behind their backs.

During an appearance on the SiriusXM show Jeff Lewis Live, Mindy Cohn revealed there will not be a Facts of Life revival after all, thanks to a "greedy b*tch" costar who caused a lot of "drama" by going behind their backs.

Cohn said a revival was in the works after the ABC special Live in Front of a Studio Audience featuring Jennifer Aniston, Gabrielle Union, Kathryn Hahn, Allison Tolman and Ann Dowd recreating a classic episode saw major success.


In fact, surviving castmates Kim Fields, Nancy McKeon and Lisa Whelchel met with producer Norman Lear over Zoom and even hired a writer.

“We got into talks and we hired a writer, and the four of us got together on Zoom."
“This was during COVID, and we had meetings with Norman about it.”

But Cohn said all came to a halt when one of the actors sought a different opportunity tied to the series.

“One of the girls went behind our backs, tried to make a separate deal for a spinoff just for herself, and devastated the rest of us."
“For a 40-year friendship and sisterhood, there was a tidal wave of emotion around it.”

She added:

“She was a greedy b*tch. I’ll say it.”

Though Cohn did not disclose the identity of the aforementioned castmate, she said that Lewis and his cohosts could do a little research on her Instagram and "guess" which actor caused the "drama."

Fans of the show did their fair share of digging.

Some believe the culprit to be Kim Fields, who played Tootie in the show, as she hasn't appeared in an Instagram post with Cohn since September 2022. Fields also missed an appearance alongside the other three ladies on The Drew Barrymore Show only a few months ago.






Others guessed it was Whelchel behind all the "drama" after noticing she was missing from a photo in one of Cohn's posts from 2022.






Regardless of who did what, fans were disappointed there is no longer a revival in the works.

And that was confirmed by Cohn herself, who deemed the project "very dead."

“It’s dead. It’s very dead."
“We were united for 40 years over not talking about each other, not doing dirty ― you know, ‘all for one, one for all’ ― and this kind of wrecked that, which is sad, really sad.”

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
