Jason Alexander Says He Was Bribed to Leak 'Seinfeld' Secrets

Jason Alexander says that people tried to get him to leak secrets from the series finale of Seinfeld in exchange for money!

The actor recently had a virtual reunion with co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Instagram Live and they opened up about the buzz surrounding the series finale. The studio had to build walls around the set to prevent paparazzi from catching photos from the finale shoot.

“I remember thinking at that time, ‘Seriously? Who gives a s–t?’” Julia said.

While Jason agreed, he revealed that his own publicist had asked him if he’d want to leak secrets.

“My own publicist — I don’t know if this came for you, too — my publicist was asking me if I was willing to leak out some secrets for money,” Jason said (via Variety). “And I went, ‘They’ll kill us!’ How can you do that?”

When Julia said that she hoped Jason fired the publicist, he jokingly said, “No, I gave him a raise.”

The series finale of Seinfeld aired on May 14, 1998 and it was watched by 76.3 million people.
