Zosia Mamet Says Showrunner’s On-Set Tirade Led Her to Quit a Hit TV Series

The account appears in an excerpt from her essay collection published by The Hollywood Reporter.

Overview

  • Mamet recounts a blocking rehearsal where the showrunner grabbed her hand and berated her for about 30 minutes in front of the crew.
  • She says she finished the day, then called her agents to resign despite being slated for additional episodes that season.
  • Her essay also describes an earlier demand from the showrunner for a drastic haircut that a stylist executed with a straight razor.
  • She withholds names, though outlets and fans have linked the details to Mad Men and Matthew Weiner based on episode and character clues.
  • Coverage places her account alongside a 2017 harassment allegation against Weiner that he denied, and representatives did not immediately respond to new requests for comment.
