Sarah Hyland Accused Of On-Set Misconduct By Former Co-Star Jeff Dye
His allegations, which include complaints about her treatment of extras and crew members, have reignited conversations about Hollywood hierarchy and on-set dynamics.
“In the time that I had to be on set, Sarah Hyland was the lead,” Dye shared on Thursday’s episode, acknowledging his role in the rom-com lasted only about “30 seconds.”
Dye, who previously dated Kristin Cavallari from 2020 to 2021, alleged that Hyland was “rude to everyone,” describing her as a “pretty woman who chain-smokes and is terrible.”
The 42-year-old comedian further claimed that Hyland once complained to director Robert Luketic about extras eating from the craft services table. “She was annoyed that some extras wanted some f-cking free granola bars … like it was in her kitchen or something,” Dye recounted.

He also alleged that Hyland “hated” him, recalling an instance in which she told him, “You’re what is wrong with people.” Dye speculated that Hyland’s disdain for him may have been due to his gender, claiming she is “not used to masculine energy of any sort.”

Jeff Dye Recalls Awkward On-Set Moment With Sarah Hyland
Another incident Dye recounted involved Hyland showing cast and crew members the trailer for the 2019 live-action "Dumbo" film on her phone.
“They’re all in this hierarchy of Hollywood where it’s like, she’s No. 1 on the call sheet, [so] we have to, like, pander to her. If she’s mean to us, just let her be mean to us, and if she’s sad, pretend like it’s OK that she’s sad,” Dye explained of the on-set dynamics.
He recalled Hyland tearing up while watching the trailer, to which he bluntly responded, “That looks gay.”
“I didn’t even mean it. I just wanted to ruin the moment,” he admitted on the podcast. “I ruined her little showpiece.”

Fortunately for Dye, this interaction allegedly took place on his final day on set. “She thinks she’s so important, and this is, like, the whole industry,” he continued.
When asked whether his own behavior contributed to Hyland’s alleged dislike, Dye insisted she treated everyone the same way. He claimed to have “checked in with everybody” on set, all of whom allegedly agreed that Hyland was “mean.”
Dye even joked that the cast and crew found unity in their shared frustrations with the actress. “I think, actually, people found camaraderie in hating her,” he said. “Like, she was the island.”
Despite potentially facing backlash for his comments, Dye remained unapologetic. “Don’t care at all,” he said, insisting he was “just being honest.”

 as released its first trailer and poster!
Based on the popular web novel of the same name, “Omniscient Reader” will tell the story of Kim Dok Ja (Ahn Hyo Seop), who suddenly finds himself living in the world of a fantasy novel he was reading. Armed with the knowledge of what happened in the novel, Kim Dok Ja sets out to save the world from ending. Lee Min Ho stars as Yoo Joong Hyuk, the protagonist from the novel that Kim Dok Ja read.
The new trailer begins with Kim Dok Ja reading a line from the first chapter of the novel: “The subway stopped in the middle of Dongho Bridge.” The text then becomes reality—the subway that Kim Dok Ja is riding stops exactly as described in the novel, and he realizes, “This is the same as the start of that novel.”
After the bridge collapses, Kim Dok Ja has a dramatic meeting with the once fictional Yoo Joong Hyuk, who asks him, “What are you?” The action-packed trailer then goes on to show glimpses of its star-studded cast, which also includes Chae Soo Bin, Shin Seung Ho, Nana, and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo.
Meanwhile, the new poster for the film bears the tagline, “The world inside the novel becomes reality.”
“Omniscient Reader” will hit theaters in July 2025. In the meantime, check out the new trailer and poster for the film below!
