It’s real, and it’s spectacular.
Teri Hatcher claims that she was kicked off the popular dating app Hinge after several users flagged her profile as fake.
“I’ve tried them all, and I tried my latest one. I tried Hinge,” she told Curtis Stone while appearing on his cooking show “Getting Grilled.”
“You know, I thought, ‘I’m gonna say to the universe that I am open and vulnerable, and I’m putting myself out there,’ ” the “Desperate Housewives” alum, 59, told Stone. “That’s what I thought my gesture of joining that Hinge app would be. And then they kicked me off.”
“What do you mean they kicked you off?” Stone, 48, asked.
“Well, they thought I was pretending to be Teri Hatcher,” laughed the actress.
According to the “Tomorrow Never Dies” star, who was previously married to actor Jon Tenney, the dating app later apologized. By then, however, she was “over it.”
“I’m definitely done with the dating apps, and I feel like if there’s any way I’ll go somewhere and meet someone, that’s what it’s gonna have to be, but honestly, I’m happy,” Hatcher assured Stone. “I have a really full life, a really busy life. I have beautiful friends. I, you know, it’s fine. I don’t need a man. I have a cat.”
The “Spy Kids” alum, who celebrated her birthday in December, revealed that this was the year she would start following the advice given by actress Jane Fonda regarding intentional living.
“At 59, I decided in order to know where I want to go for those last 30 years and how I want to end up, I have to figure out where I’ve been,” Fonda said on the podcast “Absolutely Not With Heather McMahan.”
“You know, it’s like intentional living. I want to get better,” Fonda, 86, continued. “I want to be a better person. I want her to know that I love her. I want her, you know, just the things that you want to get done so you won’t have the regrets, and it led to me being a pretty happy 86-year-old.”
Hatcher’s declaration comes months after the 2005 Golden Globe winner was accused of contributing to a hostile work environment on the set of “Desperate Housewives.”
According to show writer Patty Lin, who worked on Season 1 of the ABC show, several staffers would allegedly sit in the back of table reads and “try not to make eye contact” with Hatcher.
“The writers weren’t barred from the set, but we weren’t exactly welcome,” Lin claimed in her memoir, “End Credits: How I Broke Up With Hollywood.”
“Usually we’d only see the cast at table reads, where we’d sit quietly in the back and try not to make eye contact with Teri Hatcher.”
While Hatcher was never named officially as the person responsible for the icy tone of the show, which ran for eight seasons between 2004 and 2012, multiple people hinted at her being the cause.
Creator Marc Cherry wrote in a 2019 letter supporting Felicity Huffman, who at the time was awaiting her sentencing in the college admissions scandal case, that she was polite to a “big star” who displayed “big behavioral problems” on the “Desperate Housewives” set.
“Everyone tried their darndest to get along with this woman over the course of the show. It was impossible,” he wrote, while omitting the star’s name. “And things went from bad to worse. Felicity still insisted on saying, ‘Good morning’ to this actress, even though she knew she wouldn’t get a response. I found out about this and asked Felicity about it.”
According to Cherry, 61, the actress seemed “determined to be rude.”
Eva Longoria, who also starred alongside Huffman, 61, and Hatcher, denied any feud rumors while appearing on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast in November 2023.
“They all had such a better handle on fame, on that narrative,” Longoria said. “I’m like, ‘[People] are saying we’re fighting.’ They’re like, ‘Well, that’s just a narrative they do on women because we’re over 40 on a television show.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ I wasn’t even that smart to understand that.”
However, the statement seemed to contradict a comment made by Longoria in 2005 when she and Marcia Cross threatened to walk off the set of a “Vanity Fair” cover shoot if they had to pose with Hatcher in the middle.
It was also reported that Longoria, Huffman and fellow cast members allegedly excluded Hatcher’s signature from the thank-you card they wrote for the crew after the show ended in 2012.
