Paramount is looking into claims Sylvester Stallone allegedly used disparaging language about background actors on the set of “Tulsa King,” which streams on Paramount+, sources told CNN. The studio is investigating claims that first surfaced on social media in which Stallone was accused of referring to some performers working as extras on the set of the TV series as “ugly,” a “tub of lard” and a “fat guy with cane,” according to two sources close to the show. The social media posts detailing the allegations appear to have originated on Facebook groups about background actor experiences on the set of “Tulsa King,” but were made more widely public when purported screenshots were shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, by television writer Julie Benson.
