‘Friends’ Actress Lisa Kudrow Accused in Court Of Being A Real-Life Phoebe

The actress who formerly played the role of Phoebe Buffay in the well-known show “Friends” is being sued by her ex-manage Scott Howard for $1.7 million in residuals. Earlier this week, Kudrow appeared in court and took the stand for cross-examination, in which the plaintiff’s attorney fired a low blow. Prosecuting attorney Mark Baute accused witness Lisa Kudrow of assuming the well-recognized role of Phoebe and essentially “pretending to be dumb” during her testimony.

“You really in real life bear no relationship to the character Phoebe, right” asked Baute.

The court ruled in favor of Howard this morning.
