00:00Fans of Grey's Anatomy are speaking out after a former extra, Laura Ann Tull,
00:04launched a blistering attack on late actor Eric Dane just days after his death.
00:09Tull dubbed Dane an evil bully in a fiery threads post that quickly sparked outrage online.
00:14In her lengthy rant, she also called the actor a coward, a jerk, and a narcissist,
00:19alleging that he abused her while they were on set together.
00:22She further claimed without offering evidence that she was the reason Dane was written off
00:26the hit medical drama back in 2012.
00:28I am why he was fired from Grey's, Tull wrote, alleging that she contacted an assistant
00:33to series creator Shonda Rhimes two weeks before his departure was announced.
00:38Rhimes, I doubt, will ever admit that, she added.
00:40The accusations immediately ignited backlash across social media, with many users criticizing
00:45the timing of her comments.
00:47One person questioned the purpose of speaking out now, writing that attacking someone who
00:51is now gone from this world felt indecent, especially when the actor could no longer
00:56defend himself.
00:57The commenter also expressed concern for Dane's family, saying they hoped his daughters would
01:01never see the vitriol being shared online.
01:04Another critic labeled Tull an attention-seeker, accusing her of chasing two minutes of fame.
01:09Others cast doubt on Tull's involvement with the long-running ABC series altogether.
01:13Some pointed out that Grey's Anatomy does not appear on her IMDb page, and one die-hard fan
01:18insisted they had watched the show from start to finish multiple times and had never seen her.
01:24Despite the backlash, Tull stood by her claims, arguing that Dane's death doesn't change the
01:29destruction he caused.
01:30She also noted that her allegations were not new.
01:33In June 2018, she published a Medium essay describing her experience.
01:38In that piece, she claimed she received an email from an elected SAG-AFTRA representative,
01:42stating that Dane had referred to her as weird.
01:45Tull further alleged that she never spoke to Dane directly, but overheard him speaking about her.
01:49She also drew Patrick Dempsey into the controversy, claiming he also seemed to comment about her.
01:55Dane, who also starred in Euphoria, was diagnosed with ALS in April 2025.
02:00He died last week following what his family described as a courageous battle with the disease.
02:05With Heavy Hearts, we shared that Eric Dane passed on February 19th following a courageous battle.
02:10His loved one said in a statement,
02:12Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he has received.
02:17As fans continue to mourn the actor's passing,
02:20debates surrounding Tull's remarks show no signs of slowing down.
