Sally Struthers: Recent Revelations and Current Projects

Controversial Claims

Sally Struthers recently made headlines with some bold claims on the “Let’s Talk About That! With Larry Saperstein and Jacob Bellotti” podcast.

Struthers opened up about her less-than-favorable experiences with notable former colleagues, including the late Betty White and “All in the Family” creator Norman Lear. She claimed that Betty White, who passed away in 2021, was “passive-aggressive” and fat-shamed her during a project they worked on together. According to Struthers, White made a comment about her reaching for a cookie, saying, “Oh, I wouldn’t do that if I were you dear, you don’t need a cookie," which left Struthers feeling humiliated.

Tensions on "All in the Family"

Regarding “All in the Family,” Struthers disclosed that her relationship with Norman Lear was far from cordial. She suggested that Lear stole the idea for the show from actor Carroll O’Connor and admitted that she spent $40,000 attempting to leave the show after its fifth season due to her discomfort working with Lear.

Her performance in the series garnered significant attention, and the show itself received several award nominations, cementing her status as a veteran actress who still captivates audiences.
