She has been frequently criticized on this board for having a nothing character on the show. Now she has come forward to explain it. Its sad she was so disrespected by Lear.

Why did she wait until after he died? Was he a threat to her career when has 100 years old?

People are attacking her saying that. You don't think it would be worse a 95 year old man who is feeble and cant respond back. Some people are not interested in hurting people or back and forth.
Betty White never told the media or her story how Bea did not like her until Bea Arthur passed.
