Sylvester Stallone has broken his social media silence following allegations of a ‘toxic’ working environment on the set of his Paramount+ show, Tulsa King. The actor, 77, was accused of making disparaging remarks about background actors, which director Craig Zisk denied. Stallone shared a photo from the set, announcing the completion of filming for the second season.

The controversy arose after TV writer Julie Benson’s post detailed disturbing behavior on set, leading to the resignation of casting director Rose Locke. Allegations included Stallone’s comments about extras’ appearances and requests for ‘pretty young girls’ on set.

Zisk defended the casting decisions, attributing the issues to miscommunication with Locke. SAG-AFTRA, the actors union, condemned any disparaging comments towards background actors, emphasizing the importance of respectful behavior on set.

The incident has sparked debate and scrutiny, underscoring the need for professionalism and accountability in the entertainment industry.
