Her Blindpots Tatts & cranky set behavior..

On Friday, Page Six had an interesting item about Jaimie Alexander, the star of NBC’s Blindspot. You may also known Jaimie from the Thor movies, or maybe you know her from her engagement to Peter Facinelli. Anyway, Page Six said last Friday that Jaimie is being a major pill on the set of Blindspot, that she’s getting people fired right and left and she’s trying to get her co-lead, Sullivan Stapleton, fired. She’s also pretty cranky because it apparently takes SEVEN HOURS to apply her character’s tattoos (which cover almost all of her body). Well, here’s another interesting story about Jaimie, again from Page Six. Their sources claim that Jaimie is convinced that her fake body tattoos are making her sick. Huh.

Production on the show was halted last week with the firing of four makeup artists who were spending seven hours each day applying Alexander’s temporary ink. A hairdresser was also let go.
Suffering a pulmonary infection, the actress brought her doctor onto the Brooklyn set where Warner Bros. is midway through shooting the first season. NBC has already renewed the drama for Season 2.

Tat’s not all. Alexander is said to hate her co-star Sullivan Stapleton, who plays FBI agent Kurt Weller. “She tried to have him fired and replaced, which is pretty amazing considering their characters are supposed to develop a romantic interest,” said my source.

NO Not Sullivan!
Anyway her PR person seems like they are right off the farm saying things like that don't happen-hmmm ok

It sounds as though the source was no more trustworthy than the publication:

Alexander’s publicist Craig Schneider called my story “entirely unfounded and inaccurate,” and said, “That’s what happens when a disgruntled former employee provides you with intel.”

We don't know the situation on the inside any more than that dodgy page-six reporter does. But anyone who's worked in television knows that it's rare for even a seasoned star to be that difficult during the first seasons of a show, let alone a relatively recent star without ratings-proven clout. You don't want to alienate the people you see repeatedly in the same business in different projects. For Alexander to behave in the way that reporter described, she'd have to be so self-destructive it would border on surreal.
