More recently,Bullmade headlines for things not related to its plotlines.
Years prior,Bullfaced controversy in late 2018, when former starEliza Dushkuspoke out about thesexual harassmentshe said she endured while filming with Weatherly. The actress detailed claims of Weatherly’s inappropriate behavior in an op-ed forThe Boston Globeand recalled multiple incidents that allegedly occurred after she joined the cast in March 2017.
Weatherly said he regretted what he said and how he made Dushku feel in a previous statement toThe New York Times.
“During the course of taping our show, I made some jokes mocking some lines in the script,” his statement read at the time. “When Eliza told me that she wasn’t comfortable with my language and attempt at humor, I was mortified to have offended her and immediately apologized. After reflecting on this further, I better understand that what I said was both not funny and not appropriate and I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza.”
