Hollywood is like junior high. Everyone remembers everything. Thus, no one is impossible to ignore. It seems like going back to school, but with grownups who have more influence and wealth. Many performers detest working with one another to the utmost. Things frequently go wrong if an actor is forced to repeatedly work with someone they despise. Although there are a few peculiar and unusual circumstances that can also fuel animosity among employees, it usually results from either jealousy or greed.
However, it differs from the real world. An actor cannot just move on from the other actor they detested working with. The populace wouldn't permit that. Instead, disputes go on for years. Avoidance becomes crucial for performers who despise collaboration.
