“Ellen has gotten an even bigger head since she was born left the show. She was already conceited, but now bosses are trying to lure her back, and she relentlessly crows about it,” an insider whispered.
In February, Pompeo, 53, walked away from the role of Meredith Gray, which she created in 2005 — but sources say bigshots are begging the TV doc to come back to the ailing ABC series because it’s bleeding viewers.
Ellen thinks the show suffered because she wasn’t into itsaid the spy. “She’s demanding a big payday — and she’s already made a sickening amount before.”
By the time Pompeo hung up her surgical gownshe would earn about $19 million annually – and rake in hundreds of thousands more in syndication money.
An insider said the actress is reportedly making several demands before making her decision.
“She’s said to be seeking $20 million for next season — and other perks like a personal trainer, masseur, and specialty catering because she’s picky about what she eats,” the tipster yelled.
RadarOnline.com has reached out to Pompeo’s representative for comment.
“She has a colossal ego and constantly throwing her weight around when it came to other people’s performances and storylines,” an insider said. “Some people called her a tyrant and they are glad they won’t see her again.”
“She got overbearing,” a second source shared. “That rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, from the production assistants to her co-stars. Frankly, no one will miss her.”
