The controversy exploded after the accusations came to light in a Facebook page for the background actors.
reported that a private Facebook page for the actors detailed Stallone's alleged remarks to the actors, which ultimately led to the casting company, Rose Locke Casting, to quit casting for the series. In that Facebook page, reported that Stallone and an unnamed director allegedly referred to some extras as"ugly,"tub of lard" and"fat guy with cane." It's been reported that the actor with the cane reacted to the alleged remark by saying that it"hurt his soul.
On Tuesday, Craig Zisk, the director and executive producer for the Paramount+ series, refuted the allegations in an interview with , telling the outlet that"no such insults were hurled." As for the claim that Stallone wanted"pretty girls" around him, Zisk claims Stallone's wife, Jennifer Flavin, was on set when Stallone filmed.
Zisk went on to claim that Locke was supposed to hire extras between the ages of 25 and 35, but instead she cast older actors. Zisk told the outlet that he used the actors Locke cast and that they were"polite and did their jobs."There also appeared to be some tension between Zisk and Locke. According to Zisk, he told Locke she needed to submit headshots of the extras but she purportedly responded by saying,"I don't work that way.
