When your ego is so huge that it doesn't even occur to you that the person you're lying about will almost certainly see and publicly expose your lie.
Queerphobic, misogynistic asshole. I'm glad she called him out.
Idk much about him, but I keep reading here and there that he was terrible. How did he manage to write Star Trek episodes if he was those things?
People contain multitudes.
Berman wasn’t the one writing or directing, he was the executive producer. which means he also wasn’t producing, he was the one who signed off on other people’s work. Read: he vetoed a lot of good ideas out of fear it would anger the studio. As progressive and intelligent as Star Trek was, he kept it from being so much better.
The writers and the lower producers did what they could. Sometimes sneaking around behind his back to make sure something was shown or said.
The more I learn about this guy the less I like him
I don't know shit about him, fill me in?
Sexist piece of shit who liked to step all over anyone he perceived as "beneath" him (everyone) and if you've ever thought to yourself "given the rest of the show, why would THAT be a thing? It feels gross and entire groups of people would feel marginalized by this" while watching it, it was probably a Berman Special. Like Seven's.... "uniform"...
Also from what I understand, racist. Like the ferengi.
“friend”, I think some of that sarcasm dripped out of my phone while I was reading this
Perhaps that's the skin of evil trying to escape
tosses you some paper towels
Careful, I hear it stains pretty badly.
Whoa whoa he dribbled a bit on his phone, he didn’t get struck by a hurricaine, Mr. Moneybags.
There's a frood!
Two reminders
1:it's pronounced "Rick FUCKING Berman",
B- FUCK RICK FUCKING BERMAN.
His story smells like self-aggrandizing bullshit. If he got close enough to any actress to remove something from her costume, someone should have hit him with the cake. That's not your job, so don't touch the talent, asshole.
He just gets shittier and shittier jesus
Believe it, but does anyone have links?
It's going to be hard to verify every detail about a personal interaction on set, but we can say Bermann's version doesn't match what is verifiable. The shows were shot out of order from how they were aired. Crosby's chronologically shot final scene was in Symbiosis, where she's seen waving goodbye in the cargo bay.

Amazing.
She's great, he's a dick.
Came to thank me, brought a cake, ceremoniously?
It doesn't sound that bad...
This was what I was thinking. If she put quotes around "thank" and used unceremoniously instead, the post would read closer to what it sounds like she intended.
Edit: I only just noticed a couple of things: first, this post is five years old. Second, she responded with full-throated support of Rick. So despite the fact that he is pretty well understood as a POS around most Trek communities these days, Denise doesn't seem to want to be lumped in with that.
Section 31’s ability to insist that they didn’t “plant” a commander into the Romulan empire even decades later is rather impressive.
Even when there’s documented evidence proving otherwise.
