S5E16 “TGS Hates Women”
Original scene/joke:
And if you know that episode of 30 Rock (Spoilers), the Jeri Ryan parallels are even deeper, if a lot less fun.
Are the parallels just that
30 Rock Spoiler
Abbi/Jeri both had an ex husband? The article makes it out to sound like the Ryan divorce was not due to abuse or anything like that.
It’s certainly not one-to-one, to be fair, but it also seems like he was quite the piece of work.

“Jeri Lynn told me that she was tired of being told what to eat, how to sit, what to wear, tired of being criticized about her physical appearance and told to exercise,” Zimmermann said.”
“In his Monday press conference, Jack Ryan acknowledged that he had been too controlling and expressed regret. “There are a number of things I could do better,” he said.”
And within the docs themselves: “She stated that the Paris sex club made her physically ill, and that she lost attraction for Ryan when he told her ‘it was not a ‘turn-on’ for me to cry.’”
It also sort of awkwardly recontextualizes an old interview she did: “In the spring of 1998, the Los Angeles Daily News asked Jeri Ryan if Seven of Nine was her alter ego. She laughed. ‘My husband wishes it were,’ she said. ‘He thinks she’s the perfect woman, meaning she looks good in a cat suit, is efficient and always on time.’”
OMG Abby Grossman is in The Penguin… Same character energy.
