Tatyana Ali‘s memories from working on the 1999 comedy, Jawbreaker are not all positive.

On Saturday, Ali posted on Instagram about being bullied while working on a movie set. She also mentioned that Rose McGowan stood up for her during this difficult time.

These images are from ‘Jawbreaker’ (1999). During our filming, I was the only cast member who was actually in high school at the time, and I faced some bullying from one actress specifically on set,” the actress wrote alongside a series of three pictures.

One time, I recall her boldly attempting it with everyone present… and lo and behold, Rose McGowan spoke up, telling her to quiet down right there in front of us all! I’ve got to admit, I’ll forever cherish her for that moment.

In her comments, McGowan stated, “I’d make the same choice all over again,” accompanied by heart emoji symbols, and described herself as an enduring blend of “grace, intelligence, and charm.

Back in the day, I was hooked on this timeless movie about a threesome of us pals who unintentionally ended our closest buddy’s life and tried to cover up the incident. The flick, titled “Jawbreaker,” was masterfully crafted by Darren Stein. Besides Tia and Rose, it featured Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz, and Judy Greer in starring roles. Over two decades ago, this movie raked in $3.1 million at the box office, all on a production budget of just $3.5 million.

Back in 2017, it was reported by The Hollywood Reporter that a television series based on the movie “Jawbreaker” was being developed for E!. Drew Stein was said to be writing the script, but unfortunately, this project didn’t end up airing. The storyline would have been set in Beverly Hills and focused on a fresh group of friends who accidentally committed a murder during a bachelorette party.
