27 Beefs, Drama and Full-Blown Disasters on the Sets of Your Favorite TV Shows

Sure these shows were entertaining enough as is, but if the camera operators spun those cameras 180 degrees, they may have caught something way more exciting. Since these werent reality shows, that sadly wasnt the case. Itd probably be considered highly unprofessional as well.

We dont want anyone losing their jobs for our entertainment, but a little more dirt on these spicy BTS TV moments would always be welcome.
