Hollywood stars, they're just like us. Work drama can't always be left at the office, and it sometimes turns ugly when it comes home.

Some long-running feuds between entertainment industry giants have ebbed and flowed and grown into larger-than-life tales. Tim Allen is the latest star to be caught in a public feud after his "The Santa Clauses" co-star, Casey Wilson, accused him of "bad behavior" on the set of the film.

We take a look at a few of the biggest conflicts in Tinsletown through the years.

Tim Allen's behavior on "The Santa Clauses" set allegedly wasn't in line with the spirit of Christmas.

TIM ALLEN TURNS 70: HIS JOURNEY FROM ‘THE TOOL MAN’ TO ‘LAST MAN STANDING’

"Tim Allen was such a b----," Casey Wilson, who appeared in the pilot episode of the TV reboot, said during an episode of her podcast "B---- Sesh," via Variety. "It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever."

Wilson, who starred on "Saturday Night Live" between 2008 and 2009, filmed with Allen for the episode and said he "was so f---ing rude." "The Santa Clauses," which is a reboot of the Disney film franchise "The Santa Clause," recently finished filming its second season.

"So, I’m in a scene. It’s just me and Tim Allen, and I’m supposed to throw things at him," Wilson recalled during the podcast episode. "I think he’s a burglar. So, he’s coming down the chimney, obviously as Santa, and I am woken up thinking there’s an intruder, basically like a home invasion scene."

"So, I’m throwing things at him," she continued. "[He] goes over to the producer who is standing four feet from me and goes, and I hear him, he goes, ‘You got to tell her to stop stepping on my lines.’ The producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me, and he goes, ‘Um, Tim would ask that you stop stepping on his lines.’"

Allen had everyone "walking on eggshells" on-set, according to Wilson.

"People just looked frantic," she recalled. "When he was done, he was so f---ing rude, never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable."

"It’s the end, and Tim Allen goes, ‘Leaving!’ takes his Santa cape, picks it up and drops it on the floor and walks out," Wilson explained. "And they hustle in his stand-in, lovely man who was much nicer to act against. People are scurrying to pick up his velvet Santa coat. He’s a b----. And this is the best … I will not say who said this. This was someone that I do not know, perhaps in the crew. [He or she] breezes past me and just goes, ‘You’re seeing him on a good day.‘"

Fox News Digital has reached out to a rep for Allen for comment.

To many get to big for their britches. As a Santa I know I need to remain humble and joyful at all times.

Absolutely

In two seasons and three movies, when I read this the other day I thought, "No one else has complained".  Who knows? I believe very little I read in the news. She and Allen are on opposite sides of the political aisle. Did she get offended by something political? 

Oh, well. I'll go back to reading my story about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce because I cannot live my life without knowing every ridiculous detail about a football player and a singer. News: best used as liner for birdcages.

Even though she and Tim are on opposite sides of the political aisle, that shouldn’t automatically call her accusations into account. Of course, no one else has complained, although that may or may not mean much either way. I wouldn’t automatically dismiss what she says (not saying anyone is doing that). Considering Tim is apparently best friends with Tom Hanks (a noted Hollywood liberal), I wouldn’t automatically jump to conclusions that this is some sort of politically-motivated hit piece.

Speaking for myself at least, I can unfortunately see Tim being someone who’s difficult to work with. Like @Santa SteveKl said, with three “Santa Clause” movies and three successful TV shows under his belt (no pun intended), I can see how an ego problem can develop.

Having said all of that, one thing I hope my old pal @Schwindy can say about me at the end of the day is the exact same thing Tim Allen says about Tom Hanks: “he eats off my plate.” 🤣

My dog before she snuffed it, used to eat off my plate if I left it in the wrong place

I had no idea her politics, but seems to me that someone that has a podcast called "B---- Sesh" wouldn't be above looking for clicks and publicity.  Heck, "mainstream" news sources have paid hundreds of millions in settlements for promoting lies to cater to and attract their viewers, so it's not too hard to believe that someone that makes a podcast I've never heard of before would resort to lying/embellishment/etc. to advance her cause.   I'm not going to go looking for it, but I'm certainly going to hold off until I hear more than this one, quite likely, in my opinion anyway, biased/slanted source.

Doesn't affect me either way.

Just sad they can't get along, regardless of who started it, or if either or both are the cause.

Apart from them, who cares

One thing that strikes me is that some people have no class. 🙄

I’m to the point now where I mainly just consume good news. I’d rather read happy, positive, uplifting news than have to read about depressing news whose only purpose is to divide people and make them increasingly angry and polarized. Give me Habitat for Humanity or the Salvation Army any day over almost any current media outlets.

Sounds like he was hot and hangry.

Leave Tim Allen alone!
