Fred Savage was fired back in May from The Wonder Years reboot after allegations of misconduct on the set of the series. Fred starred in the original Wonder Years and continued to work as an actor, director, and producer after the show ended. He was the executive producer and director of the reboot.
Several women have spoken out about his behavior and it cited an investigation that ended with his firing. Now, a few months later, Fred is speaking out. He denies the incidents but admitted that he will work to address and change any negative behaviors.
Fred said, “Since I was 6 years old, I have worked on hundreds of sets with thousands of people, and have always strived to contribute to an inclusive, safe and supportive work environment. It is devastating to learn that there are co-workers who feel I have fallen short of these goals.”
He continued, “While there are some incidents being reported that absolutely did not and could not have happened, any one person who feels hurt or offended by my actions is one person too many. I will work to address and change any behavior that has negatively affected anyone, as nothing in this world is more important to me than being a supportive co-worker, friend, husband, father and person.”
Fred was also being accused of having a “strange relationship” with a younger woman on set, as well as verbal harassment and alleged assault. Fred is married and has three children. In May, the studio said, “Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched. Upon its completion, the decision was made to terminate his employment as an executive producer and director of ‘The Wonder Years.’” Despite his firing, The Wonder Years reboot will continue and was renewed for a second season.
