The Wonder Years

He was canned as the executive producer of the new version of the series, which he starred on as a child.

A costumer claimed he harassed her and hit her, but a judge tossed most of the complaints in 2018. The original Wonder Years ran from 1988-93 and starred Savage as an adolescent coming of age in a suburban family from 1968-73. Savage was 16 and Hervey 20 at the time.

Actor Fred Savage's recent firing is the latest in a string of misconduct allegations – dating back to his days as a teenage sitcom star.

“If an employer fails to act after complaints of misconduct that are found to be true, they can be held civilly liable in court. He was later cleared by an investigation via 20th Century Television, who produced The Grinder. He directed eight episodes, including the pilot. “Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched,” a spokesman for 20th Century Television said in a statement to Deadline. Ms Hwang claimed in her lawsuit that Savage “violently struck” her in the arm three times and yelled, ‘Do not touch me with your hands!’ after she brushed dandruff off of his suit and that the actor had a “volatile and aggressive temper as it related to the female crew”. “When my client came to me in 2018 with her allegations against Mr Savage, we discovered that there was at least one lawsuit that had been filed against him in the past and that Mr Savage had allegedly engaged in this type of behaviour not just towards my client but other women as well.

Fred Savage was fired from 'The Wonder Years' reboot following multiple complaints of misconduct — details.

“I was made aware that a woman working in the costume department of a show I was on almost three years ago has claimed that I treated her harshly on set simply because she was a woman,” the Modern Family actor said in a 2018 statement to Us. “These accusations are completely without merit and absolutely untrue. In her filing, she also argued that the director had a reputation for creating a hostile work environment for the female crew members on set. “Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched,” a spokesperson for 20th Television said in a statement to Deadline at the time. “When we shot the series finale … nobody knew whether or not The Wonder Years was going to be renewed,” Alley Mills, who played Kevin’s mother, told Yahoo in 2018 when asked if the allegations played a role in The Wonder Years‘ cancellation. On Friday, May 6, Savage was fired from his position as executive producer and director on The Wonder Years reboot following allegations that involved verbal outbursts and inappropriate behavior. “It is unfortunate that it took my client speaking out and now reportedly these others before action was finally taken.”

After Fred Savage was fired from 'The Wonder Years' reboot, past allegations of workplace misconduct are beginning to resurface.

“Plaintiff has alleged that Savage engaged in a number of bad acts, but none of the acts alleged appear to be related to gender,” she writes in the Aug. 29 decision. The reason provided was that Hwang had failed to make a case that she had been discriminated against or harassed based on her gender. A lawsuit filed by former employee Youngjoo Hwang claimed that Savage “had a reputation for tormenting female crewmembers” and that he had once “violently struck” her arm while she was dusting dandruff off of his suit. In an interview with Yahoo, Mills stated that she thought the lawsuit was a big joke and that eventually, it would blow over. At the time, the cancelation was blamed on a number of factors including the rising costs of producing the series as well as the lead character Kevin Arnold (Savage) starting to veer into more mature storylines that didn’t mesh with the tone or timeslot. “Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched,” 20th Television said in a statement.

Savage shot to fame as a child star in films such as The Princess Bride and The Wizard, and the first incarnation of The Wonder Years TV show, in which he portrayed main character Kevin Arnold from 1988 to 1993. Said the insider: 'He works his crews pretty hard by always doing more takes than necessary.

In a statement to CNN, Savage termed the charges “totally without merit and completely false.” The business stated that it “found no proof of Mr Savage’s wrongdoing.” Dean, a 12-year-old child from a Black middle-class household in Montgomery, Alabama in the 1960s, is played by Elisha “EJ” Williams in the Wonder Years revival. Yong Joo Hwang, a former costume designer for the show, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday alleging that Savage fostered a hostile work environment and demonstrated violent and intimidating behavior on set, particularly toward women.

And while we don’t know the details surrounding why he was fired from The Wonder Years reboot beyond the fact that it was due to “inappropriate conduct,” I’d like to think that in this case — unlike any of the other workplace situations that Savage has been involved in — the talent actually spoke up for the crew. He screamed at her and “violently” hit her arm three times for daring to brush dandruff off of the suit of the Fred Savage. The woman who sued Savage also said that he often lost his temper with other women on the set. I wasn’t aware of the lawsuit filed against him (and settled) for his behavior on The Grinder, although I did know about The Wonder Years lawsuit, which was about Savage being an asshole of a different variety (the two varieties, of course, go hand in hand) — he and co-star Jason Hervey were accused of being frat-bro jackasses around a woman in the costume department.
