The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan is shutting down rumors Norman Reedus is to blame for co-star Melissa McBride’s decision to drop out of AMC’s Daryl and Carol spinoff. After tweeting and calling out “toxic” Walking Dead fans for their “sh*tty” treatment of the Daryl Dixon actor on social media over “a call that was [McBride’s] alone,” Morgan made another tweet saying McBride’s sudden departure was “hard on both of them.” Reedus and McBride are longtime friends and the only actors to star in all eleven seasons of the Georgia-shot AMC zombie drama, making their first appearances together in a season one episode of The Walking Dead in 2010.
What?? Cmon? Nobody more gutted at Melissa’s decision than norman. Rumors aren’t from crew. They’re from some asshat who’s never seen a set before. I was there. It was hard on both of them because they do love each other. Y’all make assumptions that are really hurtful. Stop it.
