This wasn’t the first time allegations were made against Fred. During the original series, his on-screen mother played by Alley Mills claimed the show was canceled due to ongoing harassment allegations against Fred.

Sources say that Fred is quick to anger on the set and has “occasional outbursts.” He was also accused of making sexual remarks to a costume designer during the original series. Fred is now reportedly “taking a break” and figuring out how he can “do better” before he goes back to any workplace.
