In many ways, it was a typical Friday in Los Angeles: At Petit Ermitage, a secluded West Hollywood hotel coated in lush green vines, Hollywood producers lounged by the rooftop pool, languidly smoking cigarettes.
Just blocks away, a cluster of WeHo restaurants—TomTom, SUR, and the yet-to-open Something About Her, all made famous by the stars of the hit Bravo reality show Vanderpump Rules—were bustling with activity, both outside and within.
But there’s been a disturbance in the force. Rather than swapping Cannes stories, the producers posted up at Petit Ermitage on Friday were all bemoaning the just-announced, industry-shaking SAG-AFTRA strike.
