Alice Wetterlund Criticizes Silicon Valley Cast For Enabling T.J. Miller
Former Silicon Valley recurring cast member Alice Wetterlund fired off at the show’s stars for enabling T.J. Miller’s behavior on set. Wetterlund, who played Carla Watson in seasons two and three, went to Twitter to take issue with the cast for being “complicit in his [Miller’s] unprofessionalism.”
Since Miller left the show following last season, he has been accused of sexual harassment and arrested for allegedly calling in a fake bomb threat. Silicon Valley showrunner Mike Judge addressed Miller’s exit, suggesting that the actor was let go due to his on-set issues and saying, “There are a lot of different ways you can find out somebody doesn’t want to do the show anymore…It just wasn’t working.”
Yes! It is definitely time to rehabilitate TJ Miller’s career! We can’t afford to lose talent at a time like this, we need more—not less—comedic hijinks such as *checks notes* calling in a fake bomb threat

Thank you! I hope to not ruin it for you, but TJ Miller was a bully and petulant brat and pretty much everyone who had any power on that (almost all male) set, including the male cast members, enabled him and were complicit in his unprofessionalism. They can fuck off forever. https://t.co/YxGHiSYMrJ

Not a dumb question. One, I needed the job, two, it was my first recurring role and I had no idea it wasn’t always toxic and weird. Now I know!
