The Plight Of A Purple Dinosaur: ‘I Love You, You Hate Me’ Unpacks Barney’s Rise And The Vicious Backlash

Pity the purple dinosaur. He came to spread a message of love, and got the stuffing knocked out of him.
I Love You, You Hate Me, the two-part documentary series premiering on Peacock on Wednesday, explores the way Barney became a runaway hit with tots, and how the tubby T-Rex ignited one of the most devastating backlashes in pop culture history.

The people who helped bring Barney to life, including voice actor Bob West, and David Joyner – the actor-dancer inside the Barney suit for many years – all describe Leach in the fondest terms.

Because if you knew what the odds against making this thing were, you

Mindy Kaling shared the moment in which she felt the most admiration for her friend and co-star Anne Hathaway. During ELLE’s Women In Hollywood ceremony, Hathaway was honored with a special recognition after her successful Hollywood career, and it was Mindy who introduced her to the audience at the event in Los Angeles.“From the age of 18 years old [Hathaway] has been objectified regularly, and despite loving her as a performer I’ll tell you when I fell in love with her,” Mindy said, praising her for her many iconic roles in fan-favorite movies, including The Princess Diaries, Les Miserables, and The Devil Wears Prada.Mindy went on to talk about a bizarre moment at the 2012 premiere of Les Miserables, when a photographer “positioned his camera low so he could take a photo up [Hathaway’s] skirt” and sold the photo.“On the Today show the next morning, Matt Lauer said to her in this chastising, someone-has-been-naughty way, ‘Anne Hathaway I’ve seen a lot of you lately,’” Mindy recalled.
