HBO has halted production on its Watergate limited series “White House Plumbers” to investigate reports of “alleged unprofessional behavior” on the set.
“HBO has received reports of alleged unprofessional behavior on the set of ‘White House Plumbers,’” the network said in a statement Friday. “We take very seriously our responsibility to ensure a respectful work environment on all our productions, and we are investigating the matter fully.”
HBO did not comment any further.
Deadline, which first reported the production pause, cited unnamed sources who said the alleged behavior centered on an altercation between director and executive producer David Mandel and a member of the props department that occurred on Wednesday.
