Fuller House creator sues "resentful" co-executive producer, claiming he took advantage of the #MeToo movement to get him fired

The Blast

Full House and Fuller House creator Jeff Franklin alleges that co-executive producer Bryan Behar was "resentful" of his success. “Motivated by a secret hatred of Franklin and hoping to take his place someday as showrunner, Behar concocted a plan to compile unflattering and distasteful information about Franklin that was either fabricated or twisted versions of events and presented it first to the media and then to Warner Brothers in an effort to get Franklin thrown off Fuller House,” the lawsuit states. Franklin was fired from the Netflix series in February 2018, resulting in Behar's elevation to an executive producer and co-showrunner role. Franklin claims in his lawsuit that Behar “secretly photographed Franklin and his female friends and female employees at work and at Franklin’s home” in order to paint him in a negative light, and he took advantage of the #MeToo movement when Warner Bros. was in a “particular vulnerable” position.
