Taraji P. Henson & Nia Long Reportedly Clashing on the Set of ‘Empire’

According to TMZ, Taraji and Nia haven’t been getting along on set and it’s made things very uncomfortable.

In the report, it is claimed Taraji isn’t feeling Nia because Nia has allegedly been rude to the staff and crew.

TMZ writes:

Multiple production sources tell TMZ, Nia was extremely rude to the people in hair, makeup and wardrobe — something Nia’s people strongly deny — which pissed Taraji off something fierce.

We’re told it got to the point they stopped speaking to each other when they were on set. Our sources say it was next to impossible to film the scenes they did together, and that’s why they had actually blocked out how to shoot those scenes separately.

Nia played a recurring role in season 3, which has wrapped. Her character was an ex of Lucious Lyon, who was in the process of getting back with Cookie.

As for whether Nia will be back for season 4, our sources say no way in hell.

Nia’s rep tells TMZ, “This story is complete nonsense. Throughout her long, established career, Nia has been nothing but a consummate professional treating all members of productions with respect.”

The rep goes on, “This is nothing but another complete fabrication about a series that has been plagued by constant rumors of drama and misconduct.”

  1. This could just be all about publicity but I remember seeing a video of Nia being rude to Kendrick Lamar. He introduced himself to her and tried to hug her and she just sat there and looked at him like he was trash from the street. It changed my perception of her.

    1. Right. And the fact that Taraji has been posting on IG since this came out and hasn’t said anything makes me think this is true.

    2. They are friends too so the fact that Taraji isn’t saying anything is telling. I believe she’s been cutting up with the so called little people and Taraji got fed up. I wonder if they will still be able to be friends after this.

  2. Well Taraji is the kind of person who rides for hers and she would feel some kind of way towards Nia if she was being stank to anyone on set. Now if this isn’t true, Taraji being the person she is will say it’s not. But if she doesn’t say anything at all, it’s true. Taraji will shut a rumor down in a hot second.

  3. I remember Nia and Terranxe Howard did an interview and he said when they first started working together he asked what was she was doing after they finished shooting and he said ahe snapped on him and said Why? You think u gonna take me home and f*ck me? Thats when I knew she was tempermental. Lol he said he only wanted to go have a drink. Lol she looked so embarrassed that he told that story….she kept asking him not too.
