Hollywood’s no stranger to tough cookies, and Gary Busey? Well, he’s right in the mix. As reported by TMZ, while shooting “Mansion of Blood” in 2011, an unnamed woman claimed the actor made offensive remarks to her. A source told the outlet that Busey was ousted from the set and was replaced by another actor. Producers denied that he was fired, stating that the actor “committed no improper acts in connection with his role in the movie.” However, Busey’s rep shared, “The situation was plagued by contractual issues and misunderstandings from the outset. Gary considers this episode concluded and has no further comment on the matter.”

The previous month, Busey was a contestant on “Celebrity Apprentice” and befuddled his castmates with kooky antics, such as eating chicken and throwing the bones on the floor. Lisa Rinna likened him to a 3-year-old, and Penn Jillette stated, “If I’m going to be judged on how well I can keep Gary Busey in line, then I would be fired instantly.” Ultimately, Busey was the one who was fired after failing to deliver on a project. When asked what he had planned next, he told The Hollywood Reporter, “I’m learning how to stuff pantyhose into people’s mouths and duct-tape their lips when they talk too much.” Hopefully, he was just kidding!
