<\/p>\nChevy Chase is notoriously difficult to work with \u2014 and his new documentary, I\u2019m Chevy Chase and You\u2019re Not, does nothing to dispel those rumors.<\/p>\n
In one scene, director Marina Zenovich tells the 82-year-old actor that she wants to figure him out, which he insists won\u2019t be easy for her. When the Emmy-winning filmmaker asks why, he fires back with a smile, \u201cYou\u2019re not bright enough. How\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n
The clip went viral.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have always accused Chevy of having a real mean streak and it was very evident in the documentary,\u201d a source tells the National Enquirer. \u201cInstead of rehabbing his image, doing this film has only made things worse. It has given all the stories about how awful behavior over the years even more credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chase<\/a> famously clashed with his Saturday Night Live castmates. Terry Sweeney, the show\u2019s first openly gay cast member, called him \u201ca monster\u201d in the 2002 book Live From New York after the comedian pitched a sketch<\/a> in which he gets AIDS.<\/p>\n He also butted heads with the cast and crew of Community. They would cheer when Chase would leave for the day \u2014 and in 2012, he left the NBC sitcom for good following an N-word scandal<\/a> involving costar Yvette Nicole Brown.<\/p>\n Eric Kowalsky \/ MEGA<\/p>\n \u201cChevy has been on this salvation tour in recent years, trying to prove he\u2019s changed, and it\u2019s true that he\u2019s mellowed out an awful lot,\u201d says the source. \u201cBut he still had a huge ego and that was on full display in his documentary.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, \u201cthere are other people threatening to come forward to skewer him,\u201d the source reveals. \u201cChevy should have just let sleeping dogs lie. He\u2019s only made things much worse.\u201d<\/p>\n This story Chevy Chase\u2019s \u2018Huge Ego\u2019 Was on \u2018Full Display\u2019 While Filming Doc: \u2018He\u2019s Only Made Things Worse\u2019 (Exclusive)<\/a> first appeared on National Enquirer<\/a>.
