A video showing the previously reported clash between the director of “Outer Banks” and a female production assistant has been revealed.
The incident first made headlines in October, with sources telling TMZ that director Jonas Pate grabbed, shook and screamed at the PA during production for the Netflix show’s fifth and final season.
The outlet reported that actors Madelyn Cline, 28, and Chase Stokes, 33, jumped in to intervene.
On Wednesday, TMZ obtained footage showing at least part of the ordeal.
In it, the PA in question was seen making her way through a room packed with cast and crew members as well as one main camera.
The girl walked in front of the camera and passed Pate, 56, who immediately turned around and grabbed her arm, prompting her to turn back around and face him as he spoke to her.
The published video does not contain audio, so his tone and volume are unclear. However, multiple people in the room did turn to face the pair.
Cline, who was sitting down on the opposite side of the camera, quickly stood up and walked over to the duo with her arm held up, seemingly pointing.
She continued to speak to Pate as the PA walked away, at which point the clip ended.
It’s unclear whether Stokes was present.
According to TMZ, Pate became frustrated because he had repeatedly instructed the PAs to not walk in front of the camera.
As for the PA, she was reportedly unhappy with and taken aback by the situation.
When news of the incident first broke, several production sources told the outlet that Pate’s alleged behavior was not “unusual,” with one even adding, “It’s about time that it’s made public.”
Tensions on the set were reportedly “high.”
Reps for Pate, Cline, Netflix and Stokes did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
