I don't think she was a bitch. A lot of other actors who have worked with Teri in the past including Dean Cain have only had good things to say about Teri in interviews and it was Marc Cherry (The Show's Director) who was said to be the one who was difficult to work with and Nicollette Sheridan claimed he abused and assaulted her on set and other cast members spoke of similar abuse.
It don't matter if it's raining
Nothing can phase me
I make my own sunshine
And if you think you can break me
Baby, you're crazy
I make my own sunshine -

Not really sure of the full story. It could be that Terry was very unpleasant.
It could also be that the other women of the cast resented her being the lead in a sense, so naturally bonded over that and made her an outsider. -

I'm sure it's not completely any one person's fault, just as I'm sure it wasn't a full-blown rivalry. Nobody says you have to be best friends with your coworkers, and a TV cast is no different. But Teri being at the center of conflict, whether or not it was her fault, has been documented from the start of the show. There was the overblown Vanity Fair photo shoot story, where after a season of Teri being placed (sometimes literally) front and center, the other women reacted negatively. After that, for Season 2, every cast photo had 5 versions, with each woman getting her chance to be in the middle. If you google promo images from that season, you'll see it's true. And it was very intentional.
Teri reportedly angered Eva Longoria when she signed autographs at her wedding to Tony Parker, whereas the other actresses waved to fans but didn't interact. Teri also negotiated her contract and salary separately from the other female leads, who opted to negotiate together. Eva called Teri a "lone wolf" in an interview toward the end of the show, and Nicollette Sheridan said she was the meanest woman she knew in some of her court documents. When the show wrapped, Marcia, Felicity, Eva, and Vanessa went in on a group gift for the crew; for one reason or the other, Teri wasn't included. Teri published that letter in which she basically said she would never disclose what happened between her and the other women.
Make with any of that which you will, but there was obviously some tension. Whether there was truly ill feelings or if it was just a simple case of people not being each other's cup of tea, we might not ever know. But I don't think this had an any bearing on her performance.
