Grey’s Anatomy’s Actress Laura Ann Tull Lambasted For Calling Eric Dane A Bully

As tributes continue pouring in on social media for Eric Dane, actress Laura Ann Tull, in Grey’s Anatomy, was recently lambasted by fans after she called the San Francisco native a ‘bully’ a day after his death from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at 53.

The actress, who was an extra on the medical drama series, went on a searing tirade on Threads last week. Tull alleged she got Dane released from the show in 2012. She called Dane, who played the role of Dr Mark Sloan ‘evil’ as well as a ‘coward’ and a ‘jerk’. These were all in response to replies by fans who said she was acting like a bully.

She also alleged that Dane was a ‘narcissist’ who she claimed ‘abused’ her on set. ‘I am why he was fired from Grey’s,’ she wrote, though she did not offer any evidence for her accusations.

“He was a coward who abused me—bullied me. Made fun of me. When I had beaten cancer, when I was getting sick with an autoimmune disease, he was a stuck-on-himself narcissist,” her post read. “His dying doesn’t change the destruction he caused me,” she said.

Fans called out Tull, with one posting, “The man has died. He has young children. The fact that you are talking about this after his death from a terrible disease. You seem like the bully here.”

Another asked, “So why didn’t you speak to your story while he was alive?”

“You couldn’t say these things about him when he was alive and able to defend himself?”, and yet another fan asked.

“You’re both of those also for saying this about someone who just passed away,” someone else added, in response to Tull calling Dane a ‘bully’ and ‘an a hole.’

Dane’s character, Dr Mark Sloan, rose to prominence in 2005. Dane was removed from the series in Season 9 in 2012, but his character’s legacy lives on through the show’s fictional home base, Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

Many of his other co-stars from Grey’s Anatomy, including the show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes, shared moving tributes about the late actor.

Dane died on Thursday, February 19, following a year-long fight with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
