The six women together sent a complaint to the Disney company, which directed them to speak with the human resources department. One of the complainants said: To their credit, they contacted me within a few hours. An investigation began immediately and he was banned from the set. “I and the other women feel that people need to know what the inappropriate behavior was for him to be removed from his position.”

This is not the first time Savage has been accused of sexual harassment. In 1993, the actor (then 16 years old) was sued by a costume manufacturer on the set of “The Magic Years” alleging that he sexually harassed him. In addition, a woman in the production team of the series “The Shark” complained that Savage was constantly speaking obscenities towards women in the team, and even attacked her during measurements. He of course denied the allegations.

Savage told The Hollywood Reporter in response: “Since I was 6 years old, I’ve worked on hundreds of sets and with thousands of people, and I’ve always aspired to contribute to a safe, supportive, and inclusive work environment. It’s unfortunate to learn that there are employees who think I’ve failed in those goals. While there are several reported cases that in no way could not happen, any person who feels hurt by my actions is one person too many. I will work to change any behavior that had a negative impact on someone, because nothing in this world is more important to me than being supportive as a co-worker, as a friend, as a husband, as a father, and as a person “.
