Im very interested about the whole jared bullying Misha thing.. because i always heard about it but i never really got to actually see it or read about it

there’s actually a lot of things that have happened over the years that jared (and jensen) have done to misha. i’m only going to list a few of the most jarring ones, as there’s far too many to remember.

jared and jensen make many comments about misha intending to demean him. these range from calling him an awful actor, talking about how weird he is, how he’s expendable, how he and his character are easily replaceable, that no one wants him around, etc. these comments happen frequently, often weekly thanks to panels. while some people try to pass this off as banter/teasing, misha often seems uncomfortable and doesn’t always retaliate. a lot of these things are said behind his back. even worse is that they are said to a crowd that hates misha and has actively threatened physical violence against him. J2 are well aware of this vitriol, as misha has had extra security at cons bc of these threats on multiple occasions.

when misha had his directorial debut in s9, j2 intentionally sabotaged it wherever possible. they shredded what they believed to be his only set of director’s notes (misha luckily had a copy bc he anticipated j2 pulling a stunt like that) and they would intentionally screw up takes to delay production and cause him more stress. it got to the point where they had people driving up to see misha having a breakdown over everything they had done (3:00 mark). the entire story starts around the 2:00 mark

misha’s directorial debut is also when jared and jensen pulled the prank that he considers the worst out of all of them. they intentionally delayed shooting so pies could be brought out, then pied misha. jared, however, did it with such force that he nearly broke misha’s nose.

jared regularly distracts misha and intentionally screws up his takes. misha has told him many times that he dislikes it, and that it makes him look unprofessional

jensen and jared intentionally make schedules of “pranks” to pull on misha that stretch over weeks of time. jensen stated that on day six or seven, they intentionally had no pranks planned so they could laugh at misha being paranoid and on edge for the entire day because he was expecting a prank. the clip is around the 11:52 mark

jared once poured $600 worth of coins in misha’s car, which he used to transport his kids. this actually rendered the seatbelts unusable, which put misha in danger. jared actively acknowledges that misha’s first son had just been born and he had no time to get it fixed, so he’d been driving around with no seatbelt.

jared loosened the screws on the bike rack on misha’s car. misha had to sit him down and explain to him that it could have killed someone.

jared once rear ended misha’s car because misha took “his” parking spot. in response, misha parked his car close to jared’s driver side door so he would have to get in through the passenger side. in retaliation, he let all the air out of misha’s tires, which led to misha calling caa so they could fill them. he considered having jared’s car towed while they were there, but jared came out before that happened. he then informed misha that if he had towed his car, he would have totalled misha’s.

tl;dr jared frequently picks on misha, and takes pranks way too far, to the point of putting misha and others in physical danger. while j2 will tease many people, they have explicitly said that they intentionally target misha “just because he’s misha” (12:20 mark). this creates an incredibly toxic work environment.
