‘Silicon Valley’ Actress Alice Wetterlund Slams Male Co-Stars for Enabling T.J. Miller’s Bullying

[hewontgo]

Yes! It is definitely time to rehabilitate TJ Miller’s career! We can’t afford to lose talent at a time like this, we need more-not less-comedic hijinks such as *checks notes* calling in a fake bomb threat

Thank you! I hope to not ruin it for you, but TJ Miller was a bully and petulant brat and

I think it’s crazy that that wasn’t a bigger story. He caused massive delays for the whole train system by doing that...

Yeah, and I've seen people try to rationalize that it wasn't that bad, like... wtf? There is absolutely nothing rational about doing that, it's insane.

good for alice. fuck that show and cast, tbh. i liked it for a little while but, especially with her character, it became so clear that they had no idea what to do with women characters and barely even cared to try. the fact that ANYONE is still standing behind TJ Miller after all the shit that he's done is fucking ridiculous. i used to be a fan of thomas middleditch's and i can't stand him anymore.

[scriptedending]

Appreciative of you enlightening me in past posts. I used to like him, too, but I cannot look at him the same way anymore and Alice's comments only add to that.

What is the dirt on Middleditch aside from him being besties with TJ?

[famineaffair]

middleditch is a misogynist who strongly pressured an ex into getting breast implants. i've also heard he cheats on his wife by going after women in instagram dm's but i don't have proof of that.

Oh so surprising that "A Dude" would bring the "why didn't you leave? - doesn't that make you complicit?" sentimentality. Why would she need to change her behavior when it won't fix his, asshole?

[burleyqgirl]

I hate people who say this. Letting men harass women out of the workplace isn't a solution.

[holyfrijoles_2]

Right? Why the fuck should she have to leave her job bc someone else is creating a hostile work environment?

[myselfdestruct]

And it really makes the person look even dumber. Why would she leave when he is the problem on set?

[lydzi]

If it was so awful, why did you stay? Doesn't that just make you complicit as well?

They still don't get it...

I hate-stream the show, but only for Kumail, although I'm sure he just kept his head down rather than do anything to counteract TJ.

[juliette666]

I am such a fan of his, I am bummed to think that he is probably one of the male cast members she is referencing. Has he commented on this?

[eronanke]

Not that I'm aware of, but it fits with his character that he just avoided talking about it both as it was happening and after so as not to alienate his male castmates, occasionally saying, "C'mon, guys, not cool," etc.
