Molly Ringwald Says Secret Life of the American Teenager Was Her 'Worst' On-Set Experience

She says one unnamed colleague made the show a poor workplace and she refused to identify that person.

Overview

  • Ringwald rated her time on the ABC Family drama a 1 during a light segment on Watch What Happens Live, calling it the worst of her on-set experiences.
  • She told host Andy Cohen that she loved the cast and praised Shailene Woodley while saying there was one person who was “really difficult.”
  • Ringwald explicitly declined to name the person she blamed, leaving the remark anecdotal and without public corroboration from other cast or crew.
  • People and Deadline reported the comments from Ringwald’s appearance, providing cross-outlet coverage but no additional details or responses.
  • The Secret Life of the American Teenager ran from 2008 to 2013 and Ringwald’s short public reassessment highlights how a single interpersonal conflict can shape an actor’s view of a project.
