According To Neighbors, Meryl Streep Thinks She’s Still In The Devil Wears Prada

According to her neighbors in Salisbury, Connecticut, Meryl Streep is a big meanie! In fact she’s so mean, that she’s known around the town as “The Nasty Lady.” See? Like The Iron Lady, but meaner!

Neighbors are complaining that she’s not only “mean,” but that she rides around town on her bike snapping at people. She’s just so mean! She doesn’t even want to know any of her neighbors’ names, claimed one neighbor who obviously wants to be on a first name basis with the Academy Award winning actress. Why? Because she’s “two-faced” and mean!

As another anonymous neighbor stated:

“I went to grammar school with Meryl’s daughter Grace, and we all thought it was really cool that her mom was famous. One day, after school, Meryl came on the playground to pick her up, but she was just mean to people!”

Although no one has yet to say exactly what all this “mean” behavior is, I like to think it’s pulled directly from the script of The Devil Wears Prada. Whenever she’s approached, she says in her “mean” voice: “Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?” Wouldn’t that be amazing if every time one of these neighbors tried to approach her, that was her standard response? She could say it all day everyday!

She also had it out with the postmaster and told him she would not be accepting any mail unless it was addressed to her under her married name “Meryl Gummer.” This means if he should forget and delivers some “Streep” mail to her, she’s going to march down to the post office and yell: “Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?” Great!

Whether or not this is true, has yet to be proven. But after I move to Salisbury, CT in the hopes of seeing Meryl in action, I’ll confirm or deny this for everyone. That’s how dedicated I am to this story.

    If the opinions of all her fellow actors is anything to go by, this is absolute rubbish and quite slanderous. I have been watching Meryl Streep for years and have watched and listened to all her interviews. If she was that mean she could never come across as loving, as humourous and as gracious as she does. I am quite incensed about this article which seems to have been picked up by the cheaper and more gossipy media. Unfortunately, I know that Meryl Streep would never enter into a slanging match over this, but I really wish she would.

      I agree! That’s why it’s so absurd… everyone knows that Meryl is the cat’s pajamas!

    I’m sorry. I know you can write whatever you want on here, but this is cruel, offensive, and wrong. Basically every actor and actress that has worked with her has praised her not only for her superb acting abilities, but also for her charismatic and loving personality. Just because you might have some sort of problem with her does not mean anyone else, in her own neighborhood or the general public, has any sort of issue. I would honestly prefer that you keep these thoughts to yourself because I greatly respect Ms. Streep and her work and I’d rather you not be disrespectful to someone that you have probably never met.
    That’s all.

    You know I’m 52 years old, my parents always told me if you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, DON’T. SAY ANYTHING. GROW UP. I don’t believe that Mrs. Meryl Gummer has a bad bone in her body. Today is her birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
