Freddie Prinze Jr. almost quit acting after working with Kiefer Sutherland on the television series, 24. According to Prinze, Jr., Sutherland came to work drunk and was extremely unprofessional.
Sutherland’s rep released a statement in response to Freddie Prinze’s accusations saying, worked with Freddie Prinze, Jr. more than 5 years ago, and this is the first he has heard of Freddie’s grievances,” his rep told ABC News.
“Kiefer worked with Freddie Prinze, Jr. more than 5 years ago, and this is the first he has heard of Freddie’s grievances. Kiefer enjoyed working with Freddie and wishes him the best.”
Fox Network is coming to Kiefer’s defense saying that Prinze’s accusations are totally off base. They also released a statement saying,Sutherland was “nothing but professional during the run of the show and is beloved by cast and crew. It’s so out of left field, 5 years later.”
Why would Prinze decide to speak out about how he felt about Kiefer Sutherland five years after the fact?
