π€ βHe Made My Skin Crawl!β β At 87, Loretta Swit UNLEASHES Her Fury, Naming 4 Men She HATED in Hollywood!
Loretta Swit is not just a TV icon β sheβs a symbol of resilience, professionalism, and longevity in an industry notorious for chewing people up and spitting them out.
But even legends have their limits.
At 87, Swit has nothing left to prove and nothing to lose, which may be why she finally decided to blow the lid off decades of suppressed frustration.
In a recent candid sit-down interview, she named four men who, according to her, made her professional life a nightmare.
And she didnβt mince words β what she said was searing, specific, and utterly unfiltered.
The first name she dropped? Wayne Rogers, her MASH* co-star who played the affable Trapper John.
While fans thought the cast of MASH* was a tight-knit family, Swit revealed there was plenty of off-camera tension.
βHe was charming on the outside but manipulative underneath,β she confessed.
According to Swit, Rogers constantly undermined her input on set, rolled his eyes when she delivered lines, and frequently made inappropriate jokes at her expense when the cameras werenβt rolling.
βHe treated me like a token woman, not a co-star,β she said bitterly.
Despite sharing many scenes, Swit claims they rarely spoke once the cameras shut off.
βHe acted like I was disposable,β she added, calling it one of the most professionally demoralizing experiences of her life.
The second name stung even more: Alan Alda, the beloved Hawkeye Pierce and arguably the heart of MASH*.
While Swit acknowledged Aldaβs immense talent and charm, she shockingly revealed that working with him became βan emotional chess match.
β βHe had this aura of being the nice guy β the feminist, the progressive,β she said.
βBut that was for the press.
Behind closed doors, he was cold, calculating, and constantly jockeying for control.
β Swit described moments when Alda allegedly rewrote scenes to reduce her dialogue and took credit for directing improvements she had suggested.
βHe smiled in front of everyone and stabbed you with silence when it counted,β she said.
The betrayal cut deep, especially since they were once considered close friends.
βHe made my skin crawl by the end,β she added, visibly emotional.
The third man Swit named wasnβt a co-star but a major player behind the scenes: Gene Reynolds, one of the creators and producers of MASH*.
While Reynolds was often praised for his vision and sensitivity, Swit claims he routinely dismissed her creative input and sidelined her in key episodes.
βI was told to smile and read the lines,β she said.
βWhen I pushed back, I was labeled βdifficult.
ββ According to Swit, Reynolds resisted letting her character evolve from the sexist caricature of βHot Lipsβ into a more complex woman β a fight she waged for years.
βHe wanted the men to have arcs, to grow.
I was supposed to stay the punchline,β she said.
She credits her own persistence for the eventual shift in Major Houlihanβs character, not any support from Reynolds.
βHe saw me as a body, not a brain,β she snapped.
But the most shocking name came last β and it wasnβt someone directly involved with MASH*.
Swit named Frank Sinatra as one of the men she loathed the most during her Hollywood journey.
Yes, that Frank Sinatra β the legendary crooner and silver screen star.
The two crossed paths in the late β70s during a high-profile charity gala, where Swit says she experienced one of the most humiliating moments of her career.
βHe treated me like a plaything,β she recalled.
Sinatra allegedly made lewd comments about her body, propositioned her in front of others, and when she declined, publicly mocked her for βthinking too highly of herself.
β The encounter left Swit shaken and furious.
βHe was a pig in a tuxedo,β she said flatly.
βI lost all respect for him that night, and I never got it back.
β
Whatβs perhaps most jaw-dropping about Switβs revelations is how long she kept them buried.
For decades, she carried the weight of these experiences in silence, choosing to focus on her craft and preserve the image fans had of their beloved βHot Lips.
β But as sheβs grown older, her tolerance for rewriting history β or letting others do it for her β has evaporated.
βIβm too old to keep pretending,β she declared.
βIβve earned the right to tell the truth.
β
The fallout has already begun.
Devoted fans of MASH* are struggling to reconcile the warmth and camaraderie portrayed on screen with the toxic dynamics Swit has described.
Some colleagues have remained silent, while others have quietly expressed support.
A few corners of Hollywood have called her βbitterβ β a term Swit scoffs at.
βNo, darling,β she says.
βIβm honest.
Thereβs a difference.
In a town that thrives on secrets and smiling through pain, Loretta Switβs candor is both refreshing and disruptive.
Itβs a rare moment when a woman whoβs given her life to the spotlight turns that same spotlight on the people who tried to dim hers.
And make no mistake: sheβs not asking for sympathy.
Sheβs demanding recognition β not just for the role she played on screen, but for the fight she endured behind it.
This wasnβt a hit piece.
It was a reckoning.
And now that Switβs spoken, one thing is clear: the truth was always there, just waiting for the right moment to be heard.
