The Goldbergs Costars Clash Again Over Jeff Garlin’s Behavior on Set
McLendon-Covey said she remembers Garlin’s exit differently and defended the sitcom after he linked his behavior to undiagnosed bipolar disorder.
- On Monday, actor Jeff Garlin attributed his 2021 exit from The Goldbergs to undiagnosed bipolar disorder during an appearance on The Daily Beast's 'Obsessed' podcast, sparking public disagreement with former co-star Wendi McLendon-Covey.
- Garlin departed the ABC sitcom in 2021 amid reports of a 'pattern of verbal and physical conduct that made people uncomfortable,' though he denied the allegations at the time, insisting he remained a 'kind and thoughtful person.'
- Diagnosed at age 59, Garlin stated he was 'miserable on the show' while McLendon-Covey tried to encourage him, though he felt she became 'very resentful' during his final days on set.
- Following the podcast clip, McLendon-Covey responded on Instagram, stating, 'Let's just say I remember things very differently, as does the crew, the other actors, the writers, and our executives.'
- The Goldbergs concluded in May 2023 after 10 seasons, with Garlin's character killed off between seasons 9 and 10; the recent exchange indicates the conflict regarding his departure remains unresolved.
