While asked on an Instagram Q&A about the bullying on set and one of the cast members leaving the show, they further elaborated that someone from the costume crew had told them that Antony Starr bullied Dominique McElligott to the point that she left the industry and because of him, she would even fly back home instead of being with the cast, calling him a bully and a sexist.

Their contact in the costumes is not the only person that backs up this story, according to Vought HQ, a former actor from the show has also "regularly told them" that Starr bullied Dominique relentlessly and would be very inappropriate towards the female guest stars.

The allegations of Antony Starr’s toxic behavior on set comes two years after the The Boys actor assaulted a young chef while intoxicated at a pub in Alicante. The 21-year-old chef was reportedly punched twice by Starr and was taken to a hospital where they received four stitches above their eyes. Starr publicly spoke up about what happened a few months later in 2022, describing the incident as a ‘personal issue’, he said: ‘You mess up. You own it. You learn from it. You move forward.’

Isn't this one of those worst kept secret deals? I'm sure he's been notoriously a bit of a prick for years and not even just the chef incident

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Bro he caught the fade with some kid in Spain.

The Boys actor Antony Starr addresses arrest after being convicted of assault

The actor said he got himself into a ‘negative’ situation.

www.google.com

But he plays Homelander haha.

 

[natjjohn]

The murmurs seem to support this. Also was the somewhat I believe interview where when the cast was asked what actor was most like their character and they said Antony… yeah…

 

[Ownage]

No need to be a dick.

 

[cormack12]

I feel this guy isn't acting when he's Homelander. Awesome.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Really???



I took a photo and met him in person a few months ago.!!!

Along with Karen Fukuhara.

Does that mean I took a photo with a criminal?

When I met him, he treated me well... But of the famous people, the kindest was without a doubt Karen.

 

[EviLore]

A bully AND a sexist?!

[Thaedolus]

It’s called method acting, you fools. It’s how Daniel Day Lewis freed the slaves so get over it

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

A bully AND a sexist?!

I expect him to be called racist next

 

[Sonik]

Oh no someone was a meanie!

Who gives a shit, the standard for "abusive" for these Hollywood pussies is extremely low anyways

 

[near]

He was still in character during those incidents. He had to tap into something deep to pull off the performances he gave in The Boys.

 

[EviLore]

Great actor either way. Killer performance in Banshee with tons of his own stunt work, which got him injured relentlessly.

 

[Jaybe]

 

[Brigandier]

Did he say hello to someone and they was traumatised?

If he is genuinely a dick to people be better Homelander!!!

 

[willothedog]

Great actor either way. Killer performance in Banshee with tons of his own stunt work, which got him injured relentlessly.

He was excellent in Banshee but Hoon Lee was the standout actor in that show for me.

 

[Thaedolus]

I wonder how this guy is behind the scenes:

 

[feynoob]

He took this seriously

 

[KyoZz]

 

[LegendOfKage]

A bully AND a sexist?!

Are they going to hang him twice?

 

[xrnzaaas]

At least he's not an incel.

 

[Neon Xenon]

That sucks to read.
But also, it's hard for me to not think that Antony's behavior is entirely suitable to his character...

He was excellent in Banshee but Hoon Lee was the standout actor in that show for me.

Man, I gotta get back to watching Banshee. I saw a few episodes of Season 1 on a recommendation from Friendly Space Ninja years back, and I liked what I saw. Definitely something I would have watched while airing, had I known about it at the time, but it was on Cinemax (and I probably wasn't watching Cable anyway).

 

[West Texas CEO]

I'm shocked and appalled.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

So he's basically in character all the time?

 

[jason10mm]

She is so beautiful, and so wasted on The Boys. She is a legit supe and ought to be getting over her past trauma and becoming the leader of the gang. I wish they did more with her.

 

[FeralEcho]

A bully AND a sexist?!

They'll use both the ropes to hang him.

Double offence,Double punishment.

 

[mitch1971]

A bully AND a sexist?!

But he can fly EviLore . Over to Alan....

 

[DeafTourette]

Wasn't this also something some anonymous person said about Jonathan Majors? It's like someone headed for stardom and anonymous person comes with rumors about "this person was a bully!"

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

She is so beautiful, and so wasted on The Boys. She is a legit supe and ought to be getting over her past trauma and becoming the leader of the gang. I wish they did more with her.

Yeah!! , I met her and in fact she worked on The Callisto protocol game, but i didn't have the physical game, so I brought the Dead space remake and she recognized it, she liked it and she autographed it for me.... Of the actors I have come to know she is the kindest...

 

[GymWolf]

Great actor either way. Killer performance in Banshee with tons of his own stunt work, which got him injured relentlessly.

Can you believe a lot of people thought he had shit acting in banshee?

Oh god, I loved that show.

 

[Doczu]

Are they going to hang him twice?

The second noose is for his dick so that he won't be able to stand on it and survive the hanging.

 

[Varteras]

In today's world, calling someone a bully or sexist isn't worth much. It sucks if he really is a piece of shit by most anyone's view, but I have a hard time taking allegations like this seriously anymore.

 

[Little Mac]

Shame if true. Been a fan of Star since Banshee.

As someone who watches The Boys, I don't understand why the writers

Spoiler

faked Queen Maeve's death at the end of season 3 when the character dies in the comics. If the actress who plays Maeve quit the show because of Star, why preserve the the Maeve character? Then again, Stormfront and Soldier Boy are technically still alive too so maybe it's a plot point the writer's will use down the line.

 

[HL3.exe]

Sad if true. But also 'receipts please'!

The leakers website looks like it was made yesterday.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Antony Starr bullied Dominique McElligott to the point that she left the industry

It'll be pretty easy for this to get debunked if it's not true then.

 

[Sony]

Even Reeee doesn't think this is credible, so you know this is bullshit.

 

[EviLore]

It'll be pretty easy for this to get debunked if it's not true then.

Idle gossip attempting character assassination needs to be proven, not disproven. Or better yet, ignored.

 

[Hudo]

This. When did shit change from "innocent until proven guilty" to "guilty until proven innocent"?

 

[AJUMP23]

Is he a method actor?

 

[Banjo64]

Sounds like a bunch of Starlighters spreading bullshit about Homelander if you ask me.

Fuckin’ Commies.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Surely all that'll happen is she'll come out in support of a wrongly accused fellow actor? That's what I'd do if someone at my job was accused of bullying me and hadn't been.

EDIT: I'm assuming this is being discussed quite publicly, given that someone's made a thread.

 

[Mobilemofo]

But he can fly EviLore . Over to Alan....

Lovely, lovely stuff.

Not my words, but the words of shakin Stevens.

Shame that the last season of Banshee was weak.

 

[HoodWinked]

Are they sure that the costume crew member isn't just retarded?

Seems a bit too on the nose that Anthony Starr would be bullying and sexist to the Maeve actress. Which is a part of the show. Someone that works in costume would be that stupid to equate acting with real life.

 

[Hugare]

Dude always seemed weird in interviews and etc.

Not saying that he is guilty of any of these accusations because of that. He could be weird but decent.
