Even the global coronavirus pandemic crippling the film and entertainment industry around the world hasn’t stopped a reckoning from happening for showrunners or directors that have been accused of being abusive on set. The latest person to be held accountable is Peter Lenkov, the showrunner for MacGyver, Hawaii Five-O, and Magnum P.I.

Entertainment Weekly reports that Lenkov’s abuse on set was so severe that MacGyver lead star, Lucas Till, confessed that it made him feel “suicidal.” According to the 29-year-old actor, he experienced body-shaming, verbal abuse, and bullying under Lenkov, pushing him to his “breaking point.”

Till claims that Lenkov would make fun of his legs, calling them “f---ing hideous.” Lenkov would also, allegedly, shout at directors to tell Till to cover up because his body looks like that of a “little f---ing boy.” Till revealed that throughout the four seasons of the show, he has struggled to maintain “man weight” because of the demands of the production.

Till also alleged that he complained about Lenkov’s behavior to CBS’s human resources but that his concerns were dismissed as a ploy to be paid more for doing the series. However, a source says that Till’s complaint actually sparked the investigation into Lenkov’s behavior.

USA Today quotes Lenkov’s attorney as saying that all of Till’s accusations are “100 percent false and untrue." The attorney also claimed that Lenkov has always championed Till and that he has constantly supported him.

CBS, on the other hand, has said that they always work to have production environments that are respectful and safe. The broadcaster said that reporting options and staff training have been expanded and that they take every complaint seriously. They also promised that decisive action would be taken once it becomes clear that violations have occurred.

Lenkov’s removal as showrunner from MacGyver, Hawaii Five-O, and Magnum P.I. is just the latest story of a director or showrunner being called to account by the people in front of the camera.

A few weeks ago, Justice League director Joss Whedon was accused by one of his actors of being abusive on set. Ray Fisher, who portrayed Cyborg in the movie, claims that Whedon was unprofessional, abusive, and gross on the set.

Aside from Whedon, Fisher also called out former Warner Bros. co-president of production Jon Berg and former DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Geoff Johns as enablers of Whedon’s alleged unprofessional behavior. Berg has denied Fisher’s accusation.
