Rupert Everett Thinks He Was Fired From 'Emily in Paris' Season 5, But an Insider Has a Different Story

Rupert Everett claims he was fired by Emily in Paris and we have the breakdown of what went down earlier this year.

The 66-year-old actor appeared in the season four finale of the Netflix series as interior designer Giorgio Barbieri, who was an old friend of Emily’s boss Sylvie.

Rupert apparently thought that his introduction in season four would lead to a larger appearance in the current season.

In a confusing turn of events, he publicly stated he was actually fired after season four. However, at the time, an insider on the staff told a different story.

“I was fired,” he told Vanity Fair.

“I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, ‘Next year we’ll speak,’” Rupert claimed. “I waited for them to call me — but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me. Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. When they write the screenplay, they think they want you — but then things change, and they lose your character. I don’t know why.”

“For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn’t get over it,” he said.

Vanity Fair says that a “source close to the production” told them that “Everett was hired as a guest star, and his character’s story came to a conclusion.”
