Are Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers still friends?

Yes, Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers are still friends. the two reunited in February of 2012 on Somers’s talk show Breaking Through, and the pair shared an emotional hug and chatted about their different perspectives and divergent paths.

Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers stopped talking to each other for about 30 years due to some misunderstanding between them.

According to some confined sources, in 1980, Somers asked to be paid on par with her co-star John Ritter, who played Jack Tripper, and other male TV stars of the time. That meant asking for $150,000 an episode, up from $30,000 an episode.

The producers refused to agree on the terms but rather fired Somers from the show. Her husband, Alan Hamel who is a former television producer who represented his wife during the negotiations, told People that the move was meant to discourage other women from following Somers’s lead.
