It has been reported that Jeff Garlin will not be returning to The Goldberg after an HR investigation has been going on for three years for his on-set behavior.
The actor had been playing Murray Goldberg on the ABC sitcom since 2013, and it has been decided that he won’t be returning to the show after a mutual agreement was reached on Wednesday.
The actor has denied all the rumors of getting fired due to his uncomfortable on-set behaviors with Vanity Fair and said, “Well to be honest with you, there is no story. We have a difference of opinion, Sony and myself. Okay. My opinion is, I have my process about how I’m funny, in terms of the scene and what I have to do. They feel that it makes for a quote ‘unsafe’ workspace. Now, mind you, my silliness making an unsafe workspace – I don’t understand how that is … I am always a kind and thoughtful person. I make mistakes, sure. But my comedy is about easing people’s pain. Why would I ever want to cause pain in anybody for a laugh? That’s bullying. That’s just uncalled for.”
He also talked about leaving the show and shared, “We’re trying to come to a place where we come to an agreement. Either I can behave the way [they want] or not. We’ll see, ut I’m not being fired and I’ve not been fired when I do shoot more days, just to make it go smooth, I will not be doing any of my silly stuff or anything, out of respect.”
