Is Jeff Garlin Leaving The Goldbergs? 

ABC confirmed to PEOPLE that Jeff Garlin is departing The Goldbergs.

According to Deadline, Variety, and The Wrap, the 59-year-old actor’s exit was mutually agreed upon. Garlin’s departure comes amid an internal inquiry into suspected inappropriate behavior on the set of ABC’s longest-running comedy series.

On Dec. 3, Vanity Fair published the initial story on the allegations, stating that Garlin was accused of “a pattern of verbal and physical behavior on set that made individuals uncomfortable.”

Garlin’s and Sony Pictures Television’s representatives did not immediately reply to a request for comment from PEOPLE.

Is Jeff Garlin Fired?

Jeff Garlin is departing ABC’s smash program “The Goldbergs.” Still, it appears that he was fired following a human resources investigation into complaints that he was “emotionally abusive” and intimidating to employees.

According to Deadline, which broke the story and said that a mutual arrangement was struck for Garlin’s exit, Garlin had one more day, at most, of shooting the current season but won’t get to finish it.

In a Vanity Fair interview, Garlin addressed some of the allegations and admitted that he had been the subject of HR investigations, including one into his use of the word “vagina.” But, as a comic, he said he was merely being “silly.”

On the other hand, Garlin is accused of retaliating by repeating the word to the camera assistant, who had complained about his uttering it the first time.

Other set witnesses alleged he used his influence to bully, embarrass, and belittle a couple who worked together on the program, and that was the final straw, according to Deadline.
