Meanwhile, Jason Bateman’s take on it got the internet furious because it sounded like he was covering up for the co-star’s rude side and said: "Again, not to belittle it or excuse it or anything, but in the entertainment industry it is incredibly common to have people who are, in quotes, 'difficult.' … And what you learn is context."
