Kat Dennings has shared a behind-the-scenes story about her time on the sitcom 2 Broke Girls, where she stood up for herself regarding a controversial scene. In a TikTok video, she recalled approaching showrunner Michael Patrick King to request changes to a scene where her character, Max, and her co-star Beth Behrs' character, Caroline, were meant to run around the apartment wearing only bras. Dennings said she decided to push back on the scene despite having limited influence on set at the time. She described King's initial resistance, saying he told her, "No, I mean, this is the scene," to which she replied, "You don’t pay me enough for a bra scene." The scene was later removed from the show. Dennings humorously added, "They weren’t paying me enough... although I don’t think anyone could." 2 Broke Girls, co-created by Michael Patrick King and comedian Whitney Cummings, followed the lives of two waitresses from different backgrounds working in a diner. The show, which aired on CBS, was known for its comedic take on everyday life and the challenges of young women trying to make it in New York City. The Independent has reached out to representatives for King, Warner Bros. Television, and CBS for comment on the incident. Dennings has previously spoken about the challenges she has faced in her career, especially as a child actor. In a recent interview with People, she reflected on the "extremely negative feedback" she received from casting directors when she was younger. She recalled being told by her agent at age 12 that she wasn’t "pretty enough" and was even called "fat." These experiences left a lasting impression on her, shaping her perspective on the entertainment industry and the pressures placed on young actors. Despite these early challenges, Dennings went on to land a significant role at 14 in an episode of Sex and the City titled "Hot Child in the City" in 2000. In the episode, she played a wealthy child who hires Samantha Jones (played by Kim Cattrall) to plan her bat mitzvah party. The role marked a turning point in her career, and she later told The View that she realized the show was huge, even if she didn’t fully understand what it was about at the time.
