JOHNNY GALECKI It doesn’t take a scientist to know Johnny silently stewed that Jim Parsons continued to make $100,000 more per episode than he did! Our sources also reported Jim was, in turn, peeved when he learned of Johnny’s two-year affair with Kaley Cuoco! “That antagonized Jim, and things were never the same between the three of them after,” the insider dished.

KALEY CUOCO The show’s “sex kitten” steamed because
she believed she should have been the star — and once flipped Jim Parsons off on set! “It’s no secret Kaley thinks of herself as the show’s big draw,” dished an insider, noting Kaley’s ego didn’t win her friends. When she wed

MELISSA RAUCH Melissa and Mayim Bialik were initially guest stars, but fans loved them so much they were added to the cast! However, their pay was much less than their co-stars, who generously took $100,000 an episode each off their contracts to help level the pay. But Melissa still earns about half as much as the show’s main stars!
