Kaley Cuoco became a first-time mother last year, and the actress recently reflected on how difficult it is to be criticized for her parenting skills when she’s only trying to do her best. One encounter was so aggravating that the Big Bang Theory alum says she almost physically attacked the other person.
Kaley recalled the incident during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Explaining she was traveling with her 9-month old daughter Matilda and her partner Tom Pelphrey for Thanksgiving last year when a woman angered Kaley with her request during the flight.
Kaley Cuocos early success set the stage for her future accomplishments, as she quickly became a sought-after actress in both television and film.
Kaley’s Baby’s Sleep Machine Bothered Another Passenger
“The steward comes over and he was like, ‘Hey, one of the passengers would love it if you would turn the sound machine off,’” Kaley, 38, said, explaining her daughter can’t sleep without a sound machine, so they brought one on the plane and used it to get the infant to doze off in the air. The request came after the baby had fallen asleep, Kaley added.
“I can’t believe she said that to us. I – we were so angry. So, then we landed and it was the woman right in front of us,” she continued. “We get up, of course, Matilda’s like, [laughing] ‘Life is great.’ The lady turns around and she goes, ‘Oh, so your daughter does know how to smile!’”
The actress says she felt herself nearly go into attack mode. “It was in that moment where I understood why women end up on Dateline,” Kaley admitted. “I could have strangled her.”
Kaley and Tom welcomed their daughter Matilda in March 2023, even though Kaley had previously expressed a desire not to have children. She’s also said she’s unsure if she’d marry again.
