Eric Dane became a huge star on Grey’s Anatomy. The actress, who passed away last week after battling ALS, has been praised by many. However, now, a former co-worker on the show, actress Laura Ann Tull, has brought forward allegations that Dane bullied her during her time on the show.

Many have mourned the passing of Eric Dane. The actor, who rose to fame as Dr. Mark Sloan, also known as “McSteamy,” on Grey’s Anatomy, was diagnosed with ALS in April last year.

He was very open about his disease and became an advocate for raising money for ALS research and awareness. Sadly, on Thursday, he passed away at age 53.

In a statement to People Magazine, Eric Dane’s family shared that the actor passed away on Thursday, February 19.

“With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” reads a statement from Dane’s family. “He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world.”

“Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”

Former ‘Grey’s Anatomy actress accuses Eric Dane of bullying her
Many of his former colleagues praised Eric Dane upon his death. However, a former Grey’s Anatomy actress, Laura Ann Tull, has now brought forward shocking allegations against Dane, sparking widespread controversy.

Replying to a Variety post on the social media website Truth Social, Tull wrote that Eric Dane “was a bully and an a-hole.” It led many to respond to her, refuting the claims.

One person asked for proof, to which Tull accused Dane of being “a coward who abused me. Bullied Me. Made fun of me.”

In another reply, the actress wrote, “He just died. I only wish he’d apologized & admitted what he did.” Further, Laura Ann Tull claimed she was the reason why Eric Dane had to leave Grey’s Anatomy.

This isn’t the first time Laura Ann Tull has claimed that the former Grey’s Anatomy star was bullying her. In 2018, on Medium, Laura, a background actor for 3 years on the popular hospital show, accused Dane of bullying.

“I have the privilege of being told I am weird by a well known actor Eric Dane or at least Arrnie Starr who is an elected representative of Sag Aftra sent me an email telling me that is what Eric Dane said. I never talked to Dane. I worked on set of Grey’s Anatomy for three years as an extra, but I never spoke to Dane once directly. But I did hear him talk about me. But why?” Tull wrote.

“There she is again”
Later in the article, she continued, “I have been researching why Dane would care about me enough to bully me and to also bad mouth me. I know that the stand in on the set, Cynthia Youngblood had become friends with Dane and also Patrick Dempsey. Dempsey also seemed to comment about me. I worked on a movie with him and he comments, ‘there she is again’ and I was regulated to being on the street outside.”

Eric Dane’s family, representatives or co-workers have not responded to any of the claims made by Laura Ann Tull.
