My Husband Helps Me Fight Back Against Vicious Women

My new drama just wrapped up, and I'm stuck playing the familiar role of the vicious female antagonist—the kind of character that made viewers grind their teeth in hatred.

On Twitter, my tags were things like "Cecilia Wade's diva antics on set," "Cecilia and the evil supporting role locked in," and "Cecilia, the vicious."

It was pretty clear I was a so-called "blacklisted" celebrity. The diva claims came from a misunderstanding—my eyesight wasn't great, so I didn't notice the new young actress saying hi and got roasted for it. And as for wanting to be the lead—who didn't? But with my naturally fierce look, I was always cast as the villain in this appearance-obsessed industry. And the "vicious" comment? That's just someone getting too deep into my role. Criticizing me both on and off screen wasn't exactly polite.
