JIM PARSONS The breakout star, who earned $1 million an episode and inspired the spin-off “Young Sheldon,” infuriated the cast when he opted to walk away from the big bucks promised over the next two years. “Jim will continue to make bank as a producer of the spin-off,” said our spy, “and everyone else will be looking for new jobs.”

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
Karl Cook in June, the only co-stars who showed were Johnny Galecki and Mayim Bialik.

SIMON HELBERG This accomplished musician was “sick of playing nerds,” according to ENQUIRER moles. He was also furious he was initially paid a relatively meager $30,000 per episode! In 2014, sources said he and Kunal Nayyar each held out for a new contract worth $70 million over three years!

KUNAL NAYYAR Kunal played unlucky-in-love Raj but, in real life, he was bent out of shape by the stereotypical portrayal of his character! The English actor, who is wed to Miss India Neha Kapur, even wrote a book addressing the clichés he regularly faced.

MAYIM BIALIK The former “Blossom” star endured a difficult divorce with ex-husband
Michael Stone after nine years of marriage and two children. Insiders said she received a lot of support from her female castmates, but little from the men! “
Mayim is pals with the other women, but not so much the guys,” snitched the source.

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!
