- Jeff Franklin, the showrunner for Netflix's "Fuller House," has been fired.
- Studio Warner Bros. Television did not renew his contract due to accusations of inappropriate behavior on the family friendly show.
- Franklin has been accused of verbally abusing staff and making explicit sexual comments in the writers' room.
- Franklin isn't the only man to be fired from a Netflix show after allegations of bad behavior.
Netflix's "Fuller House" showrunner Jeff Franklin was fired over allegations of inappropriate behavior, Variety reported Wednesday.
Warner Bros. Television, the studio that makes "Fuller House," did not renew Franklin's contract.
Franklin was accused of verbally abusing his staff, and making inappropriate comments in the writers' room, such as sexually explicit comments about his sex life. Franklin was not accused of directly sexually harassing or assaulting any staffers.
A source told Variety that Franklin brought a lot of women he was dating to the set, and gave them bit parts on the show.
In a statement to Business Insider, Warner Bros. said, "We are not renewing Jeff Franklin's production deal and he will no longer be working on 'Fuller House.'" Netflix confirmed to Business Insider that season four of the show would move forward, however.
"I'm heartbroken to be leaving Fuller House," Franklin wrote on Instagram Wednesday, first spotted by Deadline. "Creating and running Full House and Fuller House has been the greatest joy. I wish the cast, my second family for over 30 years, continued success. I'm so proud of all we accomplished together, and beyond grateful to our loyal fans. Adios Tanneritos!"
Franklin isn't the first man working on a Netflix original show who's been let go over accusations of inappropriate behavior: "House of Cards" star Kevin Spacey and "The Ranch" star Danny Masterson were let go as well after accusations of sexual assault against them surfaced.
