Garlin and McLendon-Covey Clash Over 'Goldbergs' Exit, Citing Bipolar Diagnosis vs. 'Different' Memories
Jeff Garlin has reignited a public dispute with co-star Wendi McLendon-Covey regarding his 2021 departure from The Goldbergs. In a recent interview, Garlin attributed his exit to undiagnosed bipolar disorder, claiming he was 'mean' and miserable on set. McLendon-Covey publicly rejected this narrative, stating that she and the rest of the cast and crew remember the situation differently. The conflict resurfaces years after Garlin left the show following multiple HR investigations into his behavior.
