Wendi McLendon-Covey Defends How “The Goldbergs” Handled Jeff Garlin’s Exit
Back in December it was announced that Jeff Garlin got fired from his role as the patriarch on the ABC comedy, The Goldbergs, following an HR investigation. Jeff told Vanity Fair that he hadn’t been canned, and the issues had to do with the fact that he was “silly,” a “hugger,” and the real story was about “political correctness.” But anonymous sources told Deadline that Jeff was fired because he was “extremely verbally and emotionally abusive.” They shared stories about Jeff screaming at a female stand-in, making dirty jokes, giving female crew members inappropriate nicknames, and putting his hands around a female (shocking) camera assistant, and repeating the word “vagina” into her face.

Jeff Garlin Has Left “The Goldbergs” After An HR Investigation Into His On-Set Behavior
As a part-time fan of the ABC sitcom The Goldbergs, I can tell all non-Goldbergs viewers that Jeff Garlin plays the patriarch, Murray Goldberg. He’s a little crusty, a bit grumpy, but overall a caring father and loving husband, even when he’s calling people “morons.” Well, Jeff Garlin might not have been acting that much when he stepped on set.

And it sounds like maybe he was guilty of calling people morons after the director yelled cut.
Adam Driver’s 76-Year-Old “Don Quixote” Co-Star Says He Physically Attacked Her With A Chair
Anybody who was on the fence about whether or not Adam Driver could get it, should have no problem joining team #NahHeLooksLikeThatWeirdCatAndIDontFuckCats after hearing that he reportedly assaulted his 76-year-old co-star Lidia Franco with a chair while on the set of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. During an interview with the podcast Era o que Faltava (via PopCulture.com), Lidia claims that throughout the shoot, which took place in Spain and Portugal, Adam was filled with the spirit of Christian Bale, demanding that crew members remain out of his sight. He also allegedly had extras fired for making eye-contact. Lidia said “he is a very bad person. He behaved very badly with me, physically. He attacked me.” And you know what we do with unprofessional, badly behaved men with violent tendencies who treat people like shit, don’t you?
Amber Tamblyn Would Like You To Leave Her Out Of Her Husband’s Messiness
Amber Tamblyn would please like you to stop @ing her with your criticism about her husband, David Cross. Amber has been on a feminist warpath lately. However, Amber’s “Raise Every Voice” anthem got real quiet when David was accused of saying some really dumb racist shit to fellow comedian Charlyne Yi. Amber was called out on that, and she tweeted that she would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.
