VIDEO: Sandra Lee Acting Like A Semi-Homemade Bitch Behind The Scenes
 |
I have no idea why Food Network would put this up on their website, but it is HILARIOUS. Here’s some behind-the-scenes footage of Sandra Lee asking for help adjusting her wig before a shoot. Note the way she bitchily calls poor Mark, and the face she makes after he fails to come adjust the hideous hairpiece for her. Totally priceless. Thanks, Food Network!

She is in show biz and wants to make sure her costume is right. I’m missing the bitchy part.
Not seeing it either.
Nor I.
how shocking wat, considering the only thing you do is here hang around and post negative comments.
Is that a problem, Belle?
Same here — it just seems like she’s trying to get a bit of shtick right is all.
I was expecting her to be shrieking at the assistants and throwing vodka bottles at them. Something, you know, actually bitchy?
That’s not “bitchy.” That’s psychotic.
Here’s an idea – maybe scroll down and read the rest of the comments, where we talk about her being bitchy to her co-workers all the time, and then maybe you’ll be more able to spot it.
Or, perhaps you’re just totally oblivious.
I detected some total tinges of bitch in there. Plus, it’s just a hilarious video.
Is she supposed to be Marie Antoinette?
Does it look ok? No, it looks stupid. Grow up lady.
I didn’t get any bitchiness at all.
I’m not seeing it either……….????
Much ado about nothin’ at all.
LOL! I have a duplicate post?? WTF?
Video appears to have disappeared…I tried copying and pasting the link and I got a 404 error.
The only thing I saw was that when she said “Mark does it look okay” that she appears to be slightly slurring her speech.
Yeah, except it came out, “Mark, is it look okay?” And then something like, “hmmbblphpplabbllavodka.”
She said “Mark, is it look OK?” not does it look OK. She was clearly already drinking by this point.
I feel bad for her cameramen, I bet everything has to be perfect before they can shoot, and why would you expect a man to have an opinion on your crazy costume anyway?
LOL! You’re right, she does say “is it” and not “does it” Funny shit.
yeah, that was what I first picked up on. Hysterical.
Yeah, I didn’t ‘read’ bitch at all–either. She seemed to actually be a little goofy and self effacing as if she realized how stupid the costume/bit is.
No, she’s a bitch all right. Rolling your eyes when you call someone by name to help you means you’re a bitch. Rolling your l’s and slurring your speech means you’re a lush. Shake it all together and you have Aunt Sandy, a bitchy lush.
And she insisted on the costume changes, people. Much like the awful Cher costume and the Bo-Peep disaster. Because (shudder) Aunt Sandy’s a fellow Halloween fanatic.
I thought it was a dress rehearsal for First Lady of NY State.
“Let them eat semi home made cake…with vanilla aigstract.”
LMAO
Hahahahahaaaaaa exactly!
I have to agree that I’m not seeing this as very bitchy. Diva: totally. Lush: 4 sure. Funny and entertaining: absolutely! Aunt Sandy is one of those hosts that’s for pure entertainment value. And this is definitely a dress rehearsal for NY First Lady… “Let Them Eat Kwanza Cake!”
Don’t see any bitchiness here! A stupid costume, yes. Who knows why she rolled her eyes? He shouted something back at her. Anyway, stupid costume yes, bitchiness no.
When she calls for Mark, she sounds tipsy. Her eyes even go a little wonky. Must’ve been after cocktail time.
Oh yes, I could detect a bit of a slur. She had been drinking (as usual).
I think you’re grasping at straws on this one. I didn’t really detect any bitchiness. Maybe I’m just disappointed because when I read the title of the post, I was hoping for some over the top rant or meltdown.
I disagree. I clearly read bitchiness in her face, and her tone of voice. It wasn’t a MELTDOWN at all, or I would have titled the post RANT/MELTDOWN.
I defer to your ability to read her bitchiness. I think I just got my hopes up for something more overt.
She was rude to Mark at the end by mocking him and rolling her eyes. Also, she seem self-obsessed with the wig. If this is common behavior, I would at least say she was acting like a diva. I’m sure these mannerisms compounded over time would come off as bitchiness to her crew.
I would say loopy, not particularly bitchy.
Baffled as how you guys aren’t reading the bitchiness in her facial expressions, and in her tone of voice. It’s so clear to me.
I’ve heard from several people that she IS a real bitch behind the scenes, and people hate working with her. Maybe it’s just that I have that info and thus am more easily able to see it in the video.
I remember slumming it at a Good Morning America taping a few years ago. Sandra Lee was acting like a raging bitch all morning, screaming at anyone who worked for her to make sure her ugly green and blue plastic tablescape looked perfect for the taping. She then grinded up and down the GMA weatherman, didn’t cook a damn thing in her five minute segment on grilling, and walked away as soon as the camera was off. Those workers then had to wrap all that garbage up in the original packaging and carry it, by hand, across the street to the hotel she was camping out at.
She knew that a few shrikes were coming (we did plot on a public website), and one remorseful employee was instructed to hand us a bouquet of dead sunflowers, “Courtesy of Sandy.”
I know! And I’ve literally heard dozens of stories like that. The woman is a raging wench to work with. Again, that knowledge might be why the snotty tone in her voice was so evident to me. But it’s definitely there.
(And notice how no one came to help her. Everyone hates her.)
That is just a hint of what the “real” Sandra Lee is like. She’s a beast.She has an agenda and FN is merely a rung on her climb up the ladder. She has her eye on the Governors Mansion and that’s where she’ll be come hell or high water. Speaking of Governor did anyone catch the NY Times magazine article? No mention of old Sandy anywhere in the article and the front cover picture of him looks like he’s been hitting the bottle full swing right along with her. He looks like crap.I bet they keep her well hidden during the campaign because she can’t fake her way through politics the way she has faked her way on Food Network.
Sorry to get off topic. Of course she was drunk in the video. The booze was half gone from the bottles in front of her. FN does not make her dress up like that either. She likes to play dress up and match her kitchen because she has the brain of a 5 year old girl. There’s nothing wrong with that as long as you’re a 5 year old girl but a middle-aged hack?
Still not seeing the bitchiness. I watched again and didn’t see it. But, in fairness, I have a penis and unless I’m trying to get sex out of her, I don’t pay much attention.
I’ll trust your Bitch-dar on this one.
lol
I totally heard Mark not say outloud “whatever bitch”!!!!
Not everyone has heard the “behind the scenes” stories that we have. I remembered that downthread. I think it’s easier to see the bitchiness when one understands the back story (aka how Aunt Sandy acts when the cameras aren’t rolling).
You’ve ‘heard’ about what she is like? Which means you have never met her, correct? Maybe you are seeing what you want to see in this vid…not what is really there. Which is nothing!! I really do know someone who works for her. My friend Jeffrey is her assistant and loves her. He knows what kind of crap she takes in the public and can’t understand it. “Aunt Sandy” is fantastic to him.
Amy B, Get a grip. This isn’t a sandra lee fansite. No one cares that your friend is her assistant. Like we’d really get an honest portrayal out of you anyway? Take a freaking hike.
Sorry, but I do know someone that worked with her and she was a total beast. I’m glad she’s nice to your friend Jeffrey because that’s a first. There are too many eye witness accounts of her as a total slime to believe they’re all lies.
cowpoke, what a ridiculous thing to say. She has been dating Andrew Cuomo for years, long before he ever decided to make a run for the governor’s mansion. And she is staying out of the limelight because it is the right thing to do. We don’t elect officials in this country based upon who they are married to or dating, we elect them based upon what kind of job we hope they will do in running our govt.
If by “out of the limelight” you mean “mixing cocktails on national TV in front of ridiculous tablescapes” then you hit the nail on the head…
This is Andrew Cuomos second run for Governor. He dropped out because of the HUD scandal. His campaign for Governor has been in the works for many years now before Sandra Lee. She was interviewed on a talk show about him and made such a fool out of herself she has been hidden ever since by his campaign staff. His goal has been the White House since he was in college. She has been dating him for 5 years.
I never said he would or wouldn’t be elected because he was dating her.But, she cannot fake her way through the campaign trail. She is not educated and has never educated herself. She became famous because she went after the owner of a trade show to get her curtain business up and running and dated a very rich (married at the time) man who bought her a TV show. She did marry him and then divorced him and got a huge settlement, and was able to buy her way to fame with not one bit of talent or credibility. He’s in jail now by the way.She is a phony, talentless hack who has her own agenda and I stand by what I wrote.
She looks like one of her goofy tablescapes
I’m not seeing bitchiness there, either. The response to Mark was probably his reaction to her, typical guy fashion for someone who doesn’t care and is saying yeah whatever. I don’t like her, but I’m not seeing a cause for a diss here.
She was snotty and rude in the video. Maybe not the rant you were hoping to see but it’s a little insight into how phony and rude she is to her staff. For all you Sandy watchers out there here’s a little fact I’ve noticed. When she drinks vodka she gets all hyper with the crazy eyes and bounces around that kitchen and can’t get the words out correctly. When she’s on wine and I’m guessing some pills she’s all sleepy and mellow and slow and slurs her words.
yeah, you can see all that from the last five minutes from her show? Cocktail time is usually at the end and she doesn’t have time to get all hyper crazy eyes because the show ends! You need a new hobby.
I never said it was in the last five minutes of the show or during cocktail time.
she is a train wreck – and I feel dirty watching any of it as if I am enabling her alcoholism (I know I am not in an real way but I watch horrified as many people around her ARE enabling her)
she seems drunk more than anything
Aunt Sandy’s not a bitch, she’s crazy.
Jillian Madison, however, is a crazy bitch.
Mr. Cuomo, it’s so nice to hear your personal opinion!
Aunt Sandy is crazy, in a funny way… I don’t know why you say Jill is a crazy bitch though, because I have yet to really get that vibe.
I didn’t see bitchy either but can’t help but wonder if she really thinks anyone in their right mind would buy all the tablescape crap every time they entertained…I for one do not want to eat having to stare at some creepy cherub candlestick holder…I rarely watch her unless a recipe or, meal I should say (since stuffing from a box is not a recipe) catches my attention…I really can’t take all that cute crap not to mention how she decorates the kitchen…
I thought that maybe the producers had placed her mike in the wig — like the did in Nigella’s hair on her shows. It was the way she was tugging at the wig.
She looked ridiculous, but I didn’t think it was bitchy. I’d say she’d been freely sampling from all of the bottles on the table and was tipsy. That fugly wig must have weighed a ton.
Ok, Jillian you are grasping on this one and it looks like you are about the only one that thinks she seems “bitchy” in this one. SHe does seem her usual tipsy self but bitchy, no. The costume is way over the top just like Aunt Sandy!
You people are all insane. Sandra Lee is acting like a pure snot in this video.
If anyone has a copy of ‘Medium Raw’ by Anthony Bourdain check out page 10 for THE BEST description of Sandra Lee.
She’s like an annoying child playing dress up, vying for attention.
Maybe FN thought it would be a way to show how candid or “funny” she can be, but this video fails. She’s annoying.
At first glance, I didn’t notice the bitchiness. But when Jillian gave the “behind the scenes” stories upthread and I remembered hearing stories from others confirming what Jillian has said, I can see it. Aunt Sandy isn’t always fun when she’s drunk…
she’s finally wearing her tablescape
heh :)
I looked at it a second time. She may have been bitchy before that scene, after that scene and all scenes in between, but she wasn’t bitchy in that particular scene.
I beg to differ. She has a break out bitch moment when she yells MARK. That’s called a semi-meltdown IMO
A meltdown??!! She didn’t even raise her voice. If you think that is a meltdown, I afraid you might elapse into a catatonic state when you see a REAL meltdown.
Am I the only one who hears Mark laugh before she says “right” and the video ends. Not b*tchy, in my opinion, but definitely drunk.
How fitting that our future first lady of the great State of New York is dressed like Marie Antoinette…a bit of foreshadowing do you suppose?
:( FNH should use a video feed thats available in Canada. I’d love to see this
i work in television in los angeles. i have worked with many actors and hosts. trust me… jillian is dead on the head with this one. i’m super sensative to that tone, for i have been on the end of it many times.
Ehh, I’m really not even reading bitchy-ness in her facial expression either, she seems just a bit goofy. It seems lately you’ve been a bit desperate to slam a Food Network cook and in the end it doesn’t turn out very funny to me. Others I’m sure they find it funny, but I fail to see it. Go ahead and rant about me, it’s just how I see it in this post.
And truthfully, the video seems a bit too blurry to me to really even tell what her expressions appear to be.
And i’m no Sandra Lee fan either as you’d probably assume.
I watched the video after I read the comments, just so I could look for it. I can’t see the bitchy too much, but I can see the drunky. Maybe people are expecting a full on raging bitch tantrum and that’s why they can’t see it?
Not seeing any bitchiness here. Wonky, sure, but neither entertaining nor bitchy.
