“When I first met you, I did not like you,” Jessica told Camilla on the “Call It What It Is” podcast. “What happened was that, when I first met you, I had maybe just had a baby and was coming back to work and I was feeling very insecure about pretty much everything. When you are insecure you’re sort of just not receptive to the world and you sort of doubt everyone and everything around you but mostly yourself. I think maybe that was why when I first met you I couldn’t see all of your inner glory. I was just focused on my own insecure feelings.”
Jessica continued, “I might have shown up to set and people were atwitter about some beautiful new woman coming to the show. Maybe I wasn’t feeling my sharpest and bestest ever and I think that these things can happen where, all of a sudden, I was looking across at this, again, beautiful young woman and not feeling myself. I was like, ‘I don’t know that I’m gonna like her.’”
Camilla shared, “I just came in looking gorgeous, minding my own business. And then I realized kind of quickly that you didn’t like me. Let’s call it the burger truck incident of 2012.”
The story then shifted to an incident that happened on set after Shonda Rhimes had a burger truck come to set to feed the cast and crew.
“There was a lovely burger truck and I thought, ‘I hadn’t seen a food truck yet on set,’” Camilla shared, adding that she took a pic of the truck and posted it to social media. However, in the background of the photo, Jessica appeared “inhaling” her food.
“I’m sitting, minding my own business, the picture has been posted. Jessica comes in and she’s like, ‘Who posted the picture?’” Camilla recalled. :I was new and terrified and this was Jessica Capshaw and I was like, ‘OK she full-on hates me.’”
Jessica shared, “I didn’t hate you, I don’t hate. I disliked what you did.”
So how did they become friends? Well, that same season, the cast planned a dinner at a restaurant, but Jessica and Camilla were the only two that ended up going!
Camilla recalled, “Jessica and I were stuck on a date together at Katsuya, and then we just fell in love. And that was our first year working together.”
