The Outer Banks set reportedly grew heated.
During filming on Oct. 22, an alleged incident occurred in which executive producer Jonas Pate reportedly got physical with a female production assistant, TMZ reported, citing multiple sources with direct knowledge, and which People confirmed. Stars Madelyn Cline and Chase Stokes both intervened, per the outlets.
According to People, Jonas—who co-created the series alongside twin Josh Pate and Shannon Burke—screamed at the PA and allegedly shook her by the shoulders.
The alleged incident occurred during filming of the series’ fifth and final season in Croatia, per TMZ. According to the outlet, tensions had been high on set before the altercation allegedly occurred. The outlet reports that Chase separated the pair while Madelyn also stepped in in an attempt to deescalate the situation.
E! News has reached out to Netflix and as well as reps for Jonas, Chase and Madelyn for comment but has not yet heard back.
Since launching on Netflix in 2020, Outer Banks—which saw a ragtag group of teens from the eponymous region of North Carolina turn into international treasure hunters—has become a beloved series on the streaming platform.
