New details have emerged around the allegations of misconduct that led to the firing of Fred Savage from The Wonder Years reboot. Several women who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter detailed what they said was the disturbing behavior that prompted an investigation and ultimately led to the director’s ousting from the show in May.
“I and the other women feel that people need to know what the wrongdoing was,” one of the several women who spoke on the condition of anonymity said. Previously, Disney’s 20th Television had only vaguely cited “allegations of inappropriate conduct” over the news of Savage’s firing. But the new exposé describes a pattern of “manipulative and erratic” behavior from Savage, a concerning relationship he had with one young female crew member, and an incident of alleged sexual assault against another former crew member.
