Paramount has launched an investigation into an incident on the set of the drama Tulsa King after several background actors accused star Sylvester Stallone of disparaging them.
On Sunday, a casting agency working on the show announced that it was cutting ties with the Paramount+ series after several extras took to a Facebook group to claim that Stallone called them names during a scene being shot for the second season of series.
The Facebook users claimed that Stallone and the director on set called the hired extras “ugly,” “tub of lard,” and “fat guy with cane.” The man who as supposedly the target of the last barb said the insult “hurt his soul.”
Got this disturbing news from my Atlanta friend who’s background on Tulsa King this wk. Casting agent quit because she was so disgusted. My friend is feeling anxious about working now. @TheSlyStallone what do you…
