People Are “Disgusted” With Busy Philipps’ Reaction To Her Show’s Cancellation And Her 11-YO’s Letter To The Network
Elizabeth Jean “Busy” Philipps decided to end 2019 with a slam. The host of the now-canceled late-night talk show Busy Tonight posted an unapologetic rant, drawing everyone’s attention to those who she thinks did her wrong in 2019.
Philipps shared what she called “almostgrams” – a series of photos she almost posted on Instagram last year after receiving the unexpected news about E! pulling the plug on Busy Tonight. These include a few selfies of her crying, screenshots of the conversation she had with the network executive, the astrological forecast for that day, and even the angry letter her 11-year-old daughter wrote for her mom’s former bosses.
However, while people understood that Philipps was trying to make sense of the emotional rollercoaster she went through during this difficult time, they thought she went overboard.

Philipps’ career took off when she got to play Kim Kelly in the 1999-2000 comedy-drama TV series Freaks and Geeks, appearing in all but one of the show’s 18 episodes.
Her film debut was in the comedy The Smokers (2000). In 2001, Philipps started playing Audrey Liddell in the teen drama Dawson’s Creek. She was a regular in seasons 5 and 6, appearing in 46 episodes before the show finished in 2003.

Philipps’ talk show aired on E! from October 28, 2018, to May 16, 2019. According to its premise, it was supposed to feature “everyone’s favorite unfiltered Hollywood best friend giving her hilarious and outspoken opinions on the latest pop culture stories and trending topics with candid celebrity guest interviews and original comedic segments.”
“Busy is a hilarious and charismatic talent and we are grateful to the entire Busy Tonight team who has delivered countless laughs and heartwarming moments in what will be over 100 episodes,” E! said in a statement when canceling the show.
However, people thought Philipps overreacted and should reconsider her actions and accusations

I think she's pretty much guaranteed nobody else is going to be offering her a job any time soon.

She's been irrelevant for so long its surprising she was given a show to begin with.

It's the first time I've heard about her, but I wouldn't hire anyone so emotionally unstable who, on top of that, posts the whole process hoping to get sympathy. Dumb move

Never heard of her. I doubt you have either which is why the show was cancelled. This was a parenting opportunity for Mom to teach her daughter how to handle rejection and the knocks life throws at you. Parenting Fail.

I would be horrified if my 11-year-old wrote that! Definitely would not show it off as a "proud mommy moment". WTF?

Didn't read she was 11, thought she was 5 or 6 based on her writing. Anyway, hope she doesn't follow her entitled mother steps.

She is obviously doing this purposefully, this kind of behavior is on brand for her and is probably getting her more attention than the actual show did in the first place that no one has heard of. Smart.

I’d be mortified if my 11-year-old wrote a letter like that. Just appalling language and I can’t believe she learned those words only from her peers...frankly, it sounds like she’s heard them at home. Busy, maybe this is a wake-up call to start paying attention to your daughter’s development because I can assure you, she’ll only get worse at this rate. And that will also mean taking a good, long look at yourself, too, and what you can do to effect a better life ahead.

Busy better buckle up! Won't be long until that 11 year old is 15, and writing "love notes" just like that, and worse, to her self-absorbed mommy.

I think she burned a bunch of bridges - even the ones she hadn't even crossed yet.

To be fair, you have to be a little wacky to want your own talk show. Nothing wrong with wanting fame and to be the centre of attention, but it's a certain type who is like that so I'm not surprised this was the reaction from someone that needy (and again, not bashing needy people, I'm just saying it's not surprising).
