Claiming to hate fame and all of its trappings, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen like to live in
the shadows.
But the public's fascination with the twins has only escalated since the '80s, with tabloids
gleefully reporting their every breath.
Speculation continues to swirl as to whether they'll ever make a cameo on Netflix's Fuller
House.
Plenty of fans and former cast-mates want the sisters to return to the franchise that
made them famous, while some of their peers would prefer not to see them on TV - or anywhere
else.
From strained relationships with former Full House-ers, to soapy scandals involving socialites,
here are the celebs who can't stand the Olsen twins.
George R.R. Martin
You'd think Game of Thrones' master scribe, George R.R. Martin, would be too busy thinking
about White Walkers, to have an opinion about the twins.
But you'd be wrong.
This rather unbelievable beef stemmed from Martin's time scripting on CBS's Beauty and
the Beast, in the '80s.
The show was top in its time slot for its first season… but then a certain sitcom
came out of nowhere, trouncing Beauty and the Beast in the ratings.
Martin said, during the 2012 Toronto Film Festival,
"This g------ thing became a hit.
And suddenly, we were not winning our time slot anymore."
And he's hung on tight to those hard feelings, like Daenerys to her dragons, saying,
"That's why I've always hated the Olsen Twins and still do to this day."
​Lindsay Lohan
In 2008, a certain Mean Girls star allegedly slugged down a soul-bending amount of Grey
Goose and terrorized revelers at celebrity hangout, The Beatrice Inn - setting her bleary
sights on a certain Ashley Olsen, according to the New York Post.
As the story goes, Ashley was just saying hello to DJ Samantha Ronson, who was dating
Lohan at the time.
And that caused LiLo to allegedly yell,
"Get your 15-year-old Full House ass away from my girlfriend!"
Three years later, sister Mary-Kate may have been feeling old resentments, when she allegedly
dissed Lohan during Fashion Week in 2011.
US Weekly reported Mary-Kate "flipped" when she wound up having to sit across from LiLo,
with a source claiming,
"She looked so upset about her seat and kept looking over at Lindsay."
John Stamos
The Olsen twins and John Stamos have a near-mythical feud that's spanned several decades.
In 2018, Radar Online reported that the 54-year-old actor had banned Mary-Kate and Ashley from
his wedding, allegedly to punish the sisters for passing up on Fuller House.
According to an insider:
"John says they're stuck-up and unappreciative.
He didn't want them around for his special 'I do' moment."
As far back as 1987, Stamos reportedly wanted the actresses fired from Full House because
they were big ol' crybabies.
Like, actual babies - who cried.
Stamos told People in 2015,
"It was very difficult to get the shot.
So I [said], 'Get them out!'
That is actually 100 percent accurate."
Even recently, when the Olsen twins alleged said they had no idea Fuller House was happening,
Stamos wrote in a since-deleted tweet:
"I call bulls---."
Ingrid Newkirk
When she dies, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk plans to send her liver to France to protest
pâté.
But until then, she'll happily troll celebrities who wear fur - and the Olsen twins are no
exception.
In 2007, Newkirk devoted an entire website to shaming the sisters.
An offshoot site by PETA introduced the world to "The Trollsen Twins", Hairy-Kate and Trashley,
and let shellshocked visitors venture into the, quote, "Full House of Horrors", which
revealed the fur in its previously living form.
Spencer Pratt
Here's a surefire way to tell whether someone hates you: They brag to Details about the
time they sold an embarrassing high school photo of you to the tabloids for $50,000.
And according to People, that's something Spencer Pratt is particularly proud of.
And that might be why Mary-Kate had nothing nice to say about Pratt during her 2008 appearance
on The Late Show.
Letterman called Pratt a "worm" and commented,
"He's not much older than you are.
Or maybe he is your age?
How does he get to be so oily at that age?
Hard to know, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it's a mystery to me."
The next morning, in retaliation, Pratt told Us Weekly,
"I know I've made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman.
I forgive her, though.
[…] She's had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough."
Lori Loughlin
In 2015, when word got out that Netflix was resurrecting Full House, most former cast-mates
were quick to sign on to the project and sing the show's praises.
But sources told Radar Online that Fuller House was marred from the start by behind-the-scenes
drama.
And a lot of it reportedly had to do with Mary-Kate and Ashley - who had yet to confirm
whether or not they'd be returning to the show.
The source claimed,
"Mary-Kate and Ashley are the only ones out of that entire cast that don't talk regularly.
The rest of them have remained a family since the show ended, but no one can really tolerate
Mary-Kate or Ashley."
Lori Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky on the show, told Access Online,
"It doesn't matter how much money they get paid.
They don't care.
I honestly don't know if they want to do it."
Meanwhile, a source told Radar Online that the Olsens told producers they wouldn't return
to the show because it wouldn't be good for their image.
Nevertheless, the source continued,
"No one really wants them to come back."
