Posthumous Claims Against Eric Dane Face Backlash as Records Dispute Alleged Role in 2012 Grey's Anatomy Exit

The former extra's posts remain uncorroborated, drawing criticism with no response from ABC or Dane's representatives.

Overview

  • Laura Ann Tull, who says she worked as a background actor on Grey's Anatomy, accused Eric Dane of bullying in Threads posts days after his death from ALS at 53.
  • Tull claimed she helped get Dane removed from the series in 2012 by contacting Shonda Rhimes' office, but she offered no evidence for the assertion.
  • Contemporaneous accounts describe Dane's exit as a creative decision, with Dane later citing cost factors and personal struggles rather than a complaint from an extra.
  • Fans on social platforms criticized Tull for the timing of her remarks, with many questioning both her access on set and the propriety of the posts.
  • Outlets report no public comment from ABC or representatives for Dane, and Tull previously aired similar allegations in a 2018 essay.
