Fred Savage is defending himself amid allegations of inappropriate conduct on the set of ABC’s “The Wonder Years” reboot.
In a shocking exposé published by the Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, a group of unnamed women who worked on the show’s crew — on which Savage was working as an executive producer and director — have come forth to make public their claims of his alleged misconduct towards women that ultimately led to an investigation and Savage’s firing by the network earlier this year.
In a statement, Savage tells THR: “Since I was 6 years old, I have worked on hundreds of sets with thousands of people, and have always strived to contribute to an inclusive, safe and supportive work environment. It is devastating to learn that there are co-workers who feel I have fallen short of these goals. While there are some incidents being reported that absolutely did not and could not have happened, any one person who feels hurt or offended by my actions is one person too many. I will work to address and change any behavior that has negatively affected anyone, as nothing in this world is more important to me than being a supportive co-worker, friend, husband, father and person.”
Savage’s accusers said they were requesting anonymity for fear of potential damage to their careers. Among their accusations against the star: verbal harassment, alleged assault, and “manipulative and erratic” behavior, THR reports. “His eyes would go dead,” one accuser said, claiming that he only engaged in said behavior with “below-the-line employees who don’t have power.”
“We all felt supported by Fred. We truly thought he supported women. He told us he supported women. But this kind of support isn’t real,” another woman told THR.
