RickAndMorty creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon reportedly had a falling out years ago and failed to reconcile their difference.
The Rick and Morty co-creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon reportedly had a falling out long before the recent Roiland controversies. The two creators elected to work together in 2012 to produce a show that would follow two characters from a Back to the Future parody that Roiland worked on previously.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While Rick and Morty became heavily successful, new reports about Roiland detail shocking behind-the-scenes issues. According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, Roiland and Harmon fell out years before Roiland's controversies came to light. Despite numerous attempts to resolve their relationship, the two were unable and unwilling to budge, allegedly causing long-term resentment and major problems in the writing room that hamstrung the series.
While Roiland was initially charged in 2020, the creator pleaded not guilty and was involved in several hearings since. The alleged victim was also granted a protective order against Roiland, forbidding him from coming within 100 feet of her at any point. Roiland's attorney has dismissed the reports of domestic abuse and imprisonment, indicating that they are inaccurate and that Roiland is innocent. Roiland intends to continue fighting the charges going forward.
Other incidents revolve around behind-the-scenes behavior during the development of Rick and Morty. Roiland sparked massive controversy across the media landscape after he reportedly discussed inappropriate topics at work, allegedly sexually harassed his coworkers, and sent disturbing messages through social media to regular viewers.
