He denied it all. The people pushing it the hardest, a few seem to be known pot-stirrers/rumor hounds who are constantly, multiple times a day, posting outlandish “leaks” and scoops with clickbait-y headlines/thumbnails on YouTube (Mike Zeroh, Grace Randolph, etc.).
Unless something new has arisen - legit or otherwise - it was alleged he was being “difficult” on set. But there’s diva/Mariah Carey “difficult” (“this isn’t the mineral water and truffles I demanded!”) and then there’s “this scene isn’t working, I have some ideas...”. difficult (and all points in between).
Who knows...
I’d need to hear concrete details/facts from reputable sources, and I’ve yet to, so...
I’d like to think he appreciates his gig and isn’t looking to be the 2020/2021 version of David Caruso.
