Creator Marta Kaufman has revealed that Monica Geller was branded a ‘slut’ for sleeping with Paul the wine guy in the pilot episode.
Monica was called a slut by a high up NBC executive for sleeping with a guy on the first date.
Speaking at the ATX Television Film Festival, Marta revealed: ‘We were doing the pilot, and the man who was the head of the network at the time — bit of a misogynist. Lovely, lovely guy – he was having trouble with Monica sleeping with a guy on the first date.’
Monica slept with Paul the wine guy after he fed her a line that he had been so traumatised by his divorce he hadn’t had sex in two years.
