Top Friends Controversies:

Male Nanny

The show was going good as we all know. But some of the episodes showed disrespect towards the LGBTQ community. And the one where Rachel hires a male nanny is one. In this episode, Ross was not at all satisfied after knowing about the male nanny. And according to him, the nanny was way too sensitive and soft for being a man.

Jennifer was on such heights during the show that no one else was. And this was proving to be difficult for Friends. It was because Jennifer was most time busy at some other places or shoots and was not coming to the set. And in the last season also it happened. But this all sorted when the episodes were brought down to 18 from 24. 

Joey’s Stalker

When this episode came, it was proving to be one of the funniest episodes. But the husband of the stalker Brooke Shields was not happy at all. At that time Andre Agassi was the husband of Shield. And when he got to know about the hand licking scene, he broke his Wimbledon Trophy in anger.
