TV crew member Youngjoo Hwang accuses actor Fred Savage of striking, abusing, bullying her
The former child star of ‘The Wonder Years’ is accused of striking wardrobe dresser Hwang three times when she went to brush dandruff off his clothing
Former “Wonder Years” star Fred Savage is facing claims he struck a female crew member during a profanity-laced meltdown on the Fox comedy “The Grinder” – allegations he denies.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles, wardrobe staffer Youngjoo Hwang alleges Savage, 41, hit her repeatedly when she tried to remove dandruff from his clothing.
“She went over to him to brush dandruff off his jacket, and he immediately yelled at her, ‘Get the f – k away from me,’ and ‘Don’t f – ing touch me,’ something to that effect, and then violently struck her arm three times,” lawyer Anahita Sedaghatfar said.
She alleged Savage would yell at Hwang, glare at her, roll his eyes and spew profanities.
“It was progressively getting worse, and she was more and more uncomfortable and scared to go to work,” the lawyer said. “He just has an animus toward females, toward women.”
