“He is extremely verbally and emotionally abusive,” a Goldbergs employee told Deadline.

In his VF interview, Garlin dismissed accusations of being verbally offensive by saying that he is just being “silly” as part of his shtick as a comedian. He did note his penchant for dropping the word “vagina” on the set.

According to a source on the show, a camera assistant made a complaint to her department head about Garlin’s use of the word. After the actor found out, he reportedly put his hands around her and kept saying “vagina” in her face over and over again. Overall, Garlin’s go-to jokes that a number of people on the show found offensive were talking about grandma’s vagina, balls and brassier, a co-worker said. Additionally, he would not address some longtime female crew members by name, using instead nicknames that some also considered offensive.

According to an eyewitness of the incident, Garlin did not appear to be joking as he walked behind the female stand-in. “He screamed at her, ‘Why are you always in my way? Get the f*ck out of my way’ as she was walking down the ramp on the set after they had done blocking for a scene. She was confused and looked around.” Garlin then turned to the woman’s husband,, saying, “Tell your wife to get the f*ck out of my way.”

According to sources, cast and crew were appalled, and “this was the straw that broke the camel’s back” in terms of their tolerance for Garlin’s antics, leading to new HR complaints.

“Not just would he intimidate that woman, he would then turn around and belittle and embarrass her husband,” the witness said. “This is just the grossest abuse of power.”

Seems likely. His TV wife on Larry’s show was even more foul-mouthed, and he probably got used to a much more profane set.

Oh please the whole thing is ridiculous. You fire the star for being obnoxious, and the staff people have the cajones to act like big babies and ruin the show.

Omg he yelled at somebody!

He had major rolls in two hit shows, at the same time. I have seen bits of “The Goldbergs,” but it did nothing for me. I enjoy “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” though.

I am always disappointed when one of our betters falls from Mt. Olympus....

They knew for 3 years and did nothing.
George Segal passed away early in the year and the series was probably going to be cancelled. If they could make money the producers would not care what was happening but now they can act and pretend they care.

He works on ‘Curb your Enthusiasm’ as an actor and is also a executive producer. I bet he was acting the same way on that show as ‘The Goldbergs’.
Waiting for the owner Larry David to care....
