    Time to get scrolling.

    Mindy Cohn made headlines for recently claiming on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” that one of her main co-stars from “The Facts of Life” ruined their chances to make a revival of the show .

    Cohn, 58, didn’t say whether it was Lisa Whelchel, Kim Fields or Nancy McKeon — but she did refer to the alleged culprit as a “greedy bitch.”

    “One of the girls … went behind our backs and tried to make a separate deal for a spinoff just for herself and devastated the rest of us,” the actress said.

    Cohn said the cast didn’t speak to that co-star “for a while,” but “now we do-ish.”

    When pressed to reveal the mystery co-star’s identity, Cohn said that anyone can figure it out by going on her Instagram and seeing who from the cast she doesn’t post.

    Cohn follows all three of the other “Facts of Life” ladies on the social media platform.

    McKeon, 58, was the most recent cast member to show up on Cohn’s main Instagram feed.

    Cohn wished McKeon a happy birthday on April 4 with a photo of the pair .

    “Wishing you everything and more for your new trip around the sun my friend. adore you so @nancymckeonofficial #andmanymore,” Cohn wrote in her tribute.

    Before that, Cohn posted a picture with McKeon and Fields, 55, in September 2022 on the set of Norman Lear’s 100th birthday ABC special. Lear, who died at 101 this past December , had reached out to the “Facts of Life” actors about doing the revival.

    “Celebrating @thenormanlear 100th birthday with these brilliant, gorgeous women whom i proudly call my family. #iloveus,” Cohn’s caption read.

    In April 2022, Cohn shared another birthday tribute to McKeon.

    And nearly one year before that, Cohn honored Fields on her birthday with a throwback photo of the two.

    Cohn wrote, “Happy birthday to my cherished pal @kimfieldsofficial – only you could divinely coordinate your special day with the debut of your new show @theupshawsnetflix #boss #iadoreyou #andmanymore.”

    There are no pictures of Whelchel, 61, on Cohn’s Instagram in recent years.

    But in February, Cohn reunited with Whelchel and McKeon on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” The trio appeared on the show without Fields as a surprise for Drew Barrymore’s 49th birthday.

    They did not address Fields’ absence.

    The Post has reached out to Fields’ rep for comment.

    In 2001, Cohn, Fields and Whelchel appeared in “The Facts of Life” reunion movie. McKeon didn’t participate because of scheduling issues with her TV show “The Division.”

    During her SiriusXM radio show interview, Cohn said the plans for a “Facts of Life” revival are “dead” because of the unnamed “greedy” co-star.

    “A couple of people can’t move past it, don’t want to move past it,” Cohn explained.

    “We are not as united, let me put it that way. We were united for 40 years over not talking about each other, not doing dirty,” she continued. “You know, ‘All for one, one for all,’ and this kind of wrecked that, which is sad. Really sad.”

    “The Facts of Life,” a spinoff of “Diff’rent Strokes, aired on NBC from 1979 to 1988.

    Cohn, McKeon, Whelchel and Fields starred in the sitcom as students at an all-girls boarding school in New York.
