Throughout his extensive career, Adam Sandler has collaborated with many stars such as Jennifer Aniston and Rob Schneider, who frequently appear in his films like “Just Go With It” and “Grown Ups”. However, not everyone in Hollywood is fond of the “Happy Gilmore” actor. Some stars actively dislike him, and he has even faced backlash for making offensive remarks.
Sandler acknowledges having a darker side and has expressed his struggles with anger issues. He mentioned, “I had a quick temper, quick reactions… Looking back on relationships, I could be an ass,” in an AARP interview. Despite being a comedian, his humor doesn’t resonate with everyone, which may contribute to some of his strained relationships.
Bill Murray reportedly despised Adam Sandler
After leaving “Saturday Night Live” in 1980, Bill Murray returned occasionally to host but reportedly had disdain for many of the show’s cast members, including Adam Sandler. According to Rob Schneider, during the “Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show,” he claimed, “He hated Sandler… He really hated Sandler.” Schneider suggested that Murray might have disliked Sandler’s style of comedy, which he found unappealing.
Murray’s criticism was not isolated. Sandler himself was dismissed from “SNL” in 1995, stating that the network’s leadership wasn’t fond of his crew. Sandler felt crushed by the decision, particularly given Chris Farley’s parallel firing. It’s likely Murray had mixed feelings knowing Sandler was out of the picture.
Loren Anthony walked off the set of an offensive Adam Sandler movie
In 2015, Adam Sandler’s film “The Ridiculous 6” sparked controversy for its alleged racist themes. Actor Loren Anthony and others left the production due to its disrespectful portrayal of Native Americans. Anthony shared, “Right from the get-go, it didn’t feel right… It was totally disrespectful to elders and Native women.”
Anthony firmly stood against the situation, stating it felt like bullying. He confronted the producers, who responded that if the actors were unhappy, they could leave. Sandler defended his work, asserting, “There’s no mocking of American Indians… It’s a pro-Indian movie.” He expressed hope that those who left would understand his intentions upon viewing it.

Rose McGowan Critiques Adam Sandler’s Sexist Casting Demand
Rose McGowan highlighted an instance of sexism in Hollywood when she called out a casting requirement from an undisclosed Adam Sandler film. She shared a screenshot of a script that instructed the female auditionee to wear revealing black clothing. She mockingly referenced Sandler’s name in a tweet, saying, “Casting note that came w/script I got today. For real. name of male star rhymes with Madam Panhandler hahahaha I die.”
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, McGowan expressed her disbelief, stating, “I was more offended by the sheer stupidity of it. It went through many hands without anyone saying something.” She also shared an anecdote about Sandler’s past comments regarding his deal with Netflix, which she found troubling. Following her criticism, McGowan said her agent terminated their contract, leading her to lament on Twitter, “I just got fired by my wussy acting agent because I spoke up about the bulls*** in Hollywood. Hahaha.” It’s clear that McGowan and Sandler have no future collaborations ahead of them.
