Debi Mazar says 'Entourage' set 'got toxic' after her return from pregnancy
Confirmed
Mazar, 62, said she returned to work after welcoming her second daughter and felt judged over her appearance. Mazar — with Jerry Ferrara, Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly and Kevin Dillon — played Shauna Roberts throughout the HBO show’s eight-season run, from 2004 to 2011.

"I just so did not want to be there; I was uncomfortable on set every day," she said. "They didn’t like that I got fat, even though I got skinny again," she said.
