Comments from Jennifer, Courtney and Jean-Claude
Jennifer, Courtney, or Jean-Claude have not commented anything on this particular incident as of yet. There are some questions coming up now that was okay to throw Jen and Courtney under the bus like that. Is any of the following true? The ladies have not said anything and neither has the 60-year-old Belgian actor. Though it is now a long time ago, it is still quite difficult to hear that such a low grade of manners run in the industry. Intimate scenes are always a little difficult to work out with any co-actor. Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, and many such guests have graced the show.
Julia specifically was also involved in quite the intimacy with Chandler Bing, the character played by Mathew Perry. But the on-screen couple has also been a couple off-screen, so that intimacy could have been the real heat between those two. It has been several years and everyone from the incident MichealLembecktalked about has moved on with their lives and not much response is seen from any other crew members either.
