Fred Savage was accused of sexually assaulting a former crew member who worked on “The Wonder Years” reboot and would routinely “verbally harass and belittle” below-the-line staff on set, according to a group of six women who brought up the allegations to Disney Hr ahead of his public ousting in May, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The star of the original “Wonder Years” was fired as director and executive producer of its reboot following an investigation into charges of inappropriate behavior, a spokesman for 20th Television confirmed to TheWrap in early May. Specifics regarding the misconduct were not revealed. Now, some of the women, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Hollywood Reporter they “feel that people need to know what the wrongdoing was.”
The crew members described two sides Savage presented to people he interacted with — one that was “very charming” and “social” and another that “manipulative,” “erratic” and “scary.
