Report: Chicago P.D. star Jason Beghe's anger management issues led to Sophia Bush’s exit

Variety

Variety reports that NBC launched an investigation last year after receiving multiple complaints about Beghe’s behavior on set, with cast and crew complaining about "anger issues, volatile behavior, and offensive comments.” As one source put it to Variety, “people felt disrespected, he yelled a tremendous amount, he had a quick fuse and when it was set off it was unpleasant for everyone around him.” Sources also tell Variety “that his behavior played into Sophia Bush’s decision to leave the show.” In a statement, Beghe acknowledged his anger management issues. “I am deeply sorry for my behavior, which I know has been hurtful to my friends and colleagues,” he said. “I have struggled with anger issues for some time, and over the past year, I have been working with a coach to help me learn how to mitigate my temper.”
