‘Modern Family’ star was a ‘tyrant’ on film set, co-star claims
“Modern Family” star Sarah Hyland was allegedly “rude to everyone” on the set of a film, according to her co-star.
Comedian Jeff Dye appeared on “The George Janko Show” podcast last week, sharing his side of his interactions with Hyland on the set of the 2019 film, “The Wedding Year.”
Dye acknowledged his role in the film was small, but in his time on set, he claimed Hyland was “such a tyrant” and “rude to everyone.”
He described the actress as a “pretty woman who chain-smokes and is terrible.”

According to Dye, Hyland complained that extras were at the craft services table, “like she was annoyed that some extras wanted some f—ing free granola bars … like it was in her kitchen or something.”

The 42-year-old comedian also says that Hyland “hated” him and told him directly, “You’re what is wrong with people.”
In Dye’s opinion, part of the issue is that he is “an actual man. She’s not used to ever masculine energy of any sort.”

Dye said another run-in occurred when the 34-year-old allegedly wanted to show members of the cast and crew the trailer for the live-action “Dumbo” movie on her phone.
“They’re all in this hierarchy of Hollywood where it’s like, she’s No. 1 on the call sheet, [so] we have to, like, pander to her. If she’s mean to us, just let her be mean to us, and if she’s sad, pretend like it’s OK that she’s sad, but she was a tyrant, she literally was a terrible person” he said.
Dye claimed that Hyland started crying while showing the trailer, “letting us know how moved she is,” he noted.
By his own admission, Dye said he wanted to “ruin the moment,” so he replied, “That looks gay,” adding he “didn’t even mean it.”

“I ruined her little showpiece of, like, ‘Look how much I’m into the arts that I’m moved by ‘Dumbo.’”
“She thinks she’s so important, and this is, like, the whole industry,” Dye said.
Host George Janko asked, “How do we know that it’s not you that rubs her the wrong way?”
In Dye’s opinion, he said he saw “the way she was behaving with everyone” and claimed he spoke with other people on set asking if they also thought she was “mean,” to which they agreed.

He concluded he wasn’t concerned about badmouthing Hyland and potentially losing work.
“Don’t care at all,” he said, “I’m just being honest,” as he complimented director Robert Luketic and actress Anna Camp, who played his partner in the film.
Dye had previously called out his ex-girlfriend, Kristin Cavallari, who he said exploited his 2023 DUI arrest “for clicks.”
On the “Smoochie Town with Marco DelVecchio” podcast, Dye said Cavallari had explained that she shared the story because it was an experience she had. He was with her when he was arrested.
“Interesting,” he said, “because, you know, when we were dating, I had a billion experiences with you that I didn’t just go share. I had experiences with you that I didn’t go tell everyone. Those were also my experiences when you were f—ing off with all these other people.”

Jeff Dye is looking back at working with Sarah Hyland, and he doesn’t have fond memories.
If you didn’t know, the 42-year-old comedian and the 34-year-old actress worked together on the 2019 movie The Wedding Year.
In a new interview, Jeff opened up about Sarah‘s alleged “terrible” behavior on set, claiming that she was “rude to everyone.”
“I did a movie. It was called The Wedding Year. I played Anna Camp‘s husband, so I’m on set for, I don’t know, 30 seconds, right? That’s how big my role was,” Jeff shared on the Thursday (February 13) episode of The George Janko Show.
“But in the time that I had to be on set, Sarah Hyland was the lead, from Modern Family,” Jeff recalled. “She’s, like, a pretty woman that chain smokes and is terrible.”
He went on to claim that Sarah is “such a tyrant” and “rude to everyone,” before sharing an alleged situation that happened on set where she complained to the director about the extras eating at the craft service table.
“Like, she was annoyed that some extras wanted f–king free granola bars, like it was in her kitchen or something,” he said.
“They’re all in this hierarchy of Hollywood where it’s like, she’s No. 1 on the call sheet, [so] we have to, like, pander to her,” Jeff explained about what it’s like on set. “If she’s mean to us, just let her be mean to us, and if she’s sad, pretend like it’s OK that she’s sad.”
Jeff also claimed that Sarah “hated me by the way,” adding, “Like just hated me. At one point, she said, and this is also a quote, ‘You’re what is wrong with people.’”
“Because I’m an actual man, you know?” he continued. “She’s not used to ever like, you know, masculine energy of any sort.”
Jeff went on to recall a moment on set when Sarah allegedly started “crying” in front of the cast and crew when she showed them the trailer for the 2019 live-action Dumbo movie on her phone.
“She starts crying to, like, let us know how moved she is by the Dumbo trailer, I just said — I didn’t even meant it, I just wanted to ruin the moment — I go, ‘Yeah, that looks gay,’” he said.
“She literally, if she could like have me removed from, like, a moment or anything, like, I ruined her little show, piece of, like, ‘Look how much I’m into the arts, that I’m moved by Dumbo,’ and I just wanted to ruin it. And I did,” Jeff said. “I ruined it, and she hated me. And I, you know, whatever, I was off the set the next day.”
When asked if Sarah rubbed the other cast and crew members the wrong way, Jeff claimed that she acted that way towards everyone.
He also alleged that he “checked in with everybody” on set and they all agreed that Sarah was “mean.” Jeff claimed that he and the others on set often joked about Sarah‘s alleged behavior, which he says brought them closer.
“I think, actually, people found camaraderie in hating her,” Jeff said. “Like, she was the island.”
He also said that he doesn’t “care at all” if he gets backlash for sharing Sarah‘s alleged “rude” behavior, insisting that he was “just being honest.”
As of right now, Sarah has not publicly responded to Jeff‘s allegations.
If you missed it, Sarah recently opened up about enduring an abusive relationship.
