Actor and comedian TJ Miller may have left the cast of 'Silicon Valley', but it seems that the fallout from his departure is ongoing.
With rumours of Miller's unsavoury behaviour on-set circulating over the past few months, nobody has actually come out and said what he reportedly did - apart from creator Mike Judge alluding to the fact that "it's not fun to work with someone who doesn't want to be there".
Now, however, his former castmate Alice Wetterlund, who played Carla Walton in six episodes of the series, has taken to Twitter to launch a scathing attack on Miller.
After a sarcastic tweet about 'rehabilitating [his] career', she called him a "bully and a petulant brat" and said that anyone in power on the show, particularly his fellow male cast members, "enabled him and were complicit in his unprofessionalism".
Miller, as you may recall, was accused of sexual assault earlier this year and since then has lost various jobs.
A HBO spokesperson said: "While this is the first time we have heard Alice Wetterlund comment on her experiences on ‘Silicon Valley,’ we are disappointed to learn of her concerns. HBO and the producers have always taken very seriously our responsibility to create a welcoming and congenial environment for everyone who works on the show.”

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 pretty much everyone who had any power on that (almost all male) set, including the male cast members, enabled him and were complicit in his unprofessionalism. They can fuck off forever. https://t.co/YxGHiSYMrJ
