Looking back atThe Big Bang Theory, it’s hard not to notice how one character totally shifted gears over the seasons. What started as a quirky, brilliant oddball slowly turned into… well, a bit of a bully.

The character went from being lovable to, let’s say, a little too sharp with the snark, basically out-snarking even the guy who built his whole persona on it.

How Bernadette becameThe Big Bang Theory‘s unlikely villain

Fans revisitingThe Big Bang Theoryhave a new villain in mind, and it’s not Sheldon. Turns out,Bernadette went from Howard’s sweetyet assertive wife to an all-out workplace tyrant.

One redditor didn’t hold back, calling her entitled and arrogant, saying the makers “reallyflanderized her character.”

Early on, Bernadette challenged Howard to be better. But post-PhD, she became a nightmare. Take the office party — where she learned that her coworkers feared her so much they paid for her coffee just to stay on her good side.

Even her boss caved, offering her a personal espresso machine. Plus, her reaction in the Halloween episode.Howard dressed as Sheldon, all laughs. But when Sheldon and Amy flipped the joke, she lost it. Double standards?

Bernadette’s harshness was justified at times — her cop dad raised her to be tough. But too often, it felt unwarranted. Penny’s dramatics came and went, but Bernadette’s mean streak? That was permanent. Even Howard’s only advice was to let her win.

Meanwhile,Sheldon wrappedFun with Flagsafter 232 episodes, until he uncorked a decades-old champagne bottle. Not to drink, just to hear it pop. Classic Sheldon.

For fans rewatchingThe Big Bang Theory, Sheldon might’ve been insufferable, but at least he was consistent. Bernadette? She evolved into something worse — a bully in disguise.

Chuck Lorre drops $250K on project Angel Food’s Fire relief fund, and L.A. follows suit

Big moves from Chuck Lorre. His Family Foundationdropped a massive $250,000 on Project Angel Food’s Fire Relief Fund, with $150,000 of that as a “Match Grant” to spark more donations. This comes right after last year’s $10M gift for the charity’s new Hollywood digs.

And it’s not just Lorre — Paris Hilton, Annie Lennox, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and United Talent Agency all pitched in. Paris, whose Malibu home went up in flames, took to social media to ramp up volunteer support, more than doubling engagement.
