Alice Wetterlund, who apparently was on seasons 2 and 3 of HBO's "Silicon Valley" as programmer Carla Walton, has gone public with her claims that everyone on set in a position of power -- including male cast members -- enabled T.J. Miller to behave really badly. For those (like me) who don't know anything about the show, Dlisted writes that Miller was a "huge mess," showing up drunk or on drugs, before he was politely written of the show.
If you are following the drama, I thought you might want to know that an inside source tells me things with Miller were indeed horrible, but the situation wasn't exactly how Wetterlund describes it:
Contrary to Alice Wetterlund’s complaints, the main cast of "Silicon Valley" were very unhappy with T.J. Miller and continually complained to HBO, which led to his ultimate departure. The main cast said he was rude and awful and hard to work with. Because of this, HBO wanted to cut down T.J.'s’s role. He said no and walked. I don't doubt that her claims are real. I think he was an asshole to her. And the cast probably let it happen. But it's not true that they weren't doing anything about it. The cast got T.J. firedSplitting hairs to save face or important distinction? You can decide for yourself.
