A post by the Instagram user vought_hq alleges that Anthony Starr used to harass his The Boys co-actor Dominique McElligott on the sets, prompting her to leave the series and ultimately the film industry.

Her character was regularly harassed by Anthony Starr's character on the show throughout three seasons. Queen Maeve faked her death and went into hiding, prompting the exit of McElligott from the show.
