Jeri Ryan
reveals the feud between Mulgrew and her
In a pretty
revealing interview on Aisha Tyler's podcast Girl on Guy, Ryan (7 0f
9) speaks up about the four year long feud between her and Mulgrew.
She doesn't say her name, but it is clear that she is talking about
Mulgrew. Things got so bad that Ryan was considering not returning
for season 7, but she had a family member get sick, so she signed on.
Ryan was really hurt by the down right hostile environment that
Mulgrew presented to Ryan at every turn. It is hard working with
someone that hates you, I've done that before.

As Wang stated,
things got so bad on the set between the two that no one wanted to be
around there when they filmed scenes.
Even Mulgrew has
spoken many times about being displeased with a sexed up female
character on the show. From
Trek Movie.com, ((Mulgrew: I found that that was hard, Jeri
notwithstanding. Certainly, I could see with my own eyes that she was
a va-va-va-voom and beautiful-beautiful bombshell of a girl.
Sexuality was brought into Voyager, and that’s what I resented ))
However, did Mulgrew need to treat Ryan that way? It just seems very
catty to me. I think I've lost a bit of respect for Mulgrew after
hearing this interview. If she had such an issue with the direction
of the show, she should have taken it out on the producers and not
Ryan. I remember hearing that Ryan distanced herself from the show
and the franchise for years after the show ended. She was supposed
to have a cameo in Star Trek Nemesis, but turned them down. It was
only recently that she started showing up for conventions again.
However, Mulgrew is right too as far as show losing something when
they brought in Seven in a catsuit. That was downright stupid. She
couldn't wear normal clothes, Braga? A woman can be sexy just
dressing normally. I think they could have handled the transition of
Seven better and perhaps not fire one of their other cast members.
They added Worf to DS9 without throwing away a member of the team.

Yes, yes, Mulgrew should have brought it up with the producer... that Jeri Ryan was fucking.
She started dating the producer around the start of season six
