The claims against Stallone emerged in a now-deleted X post from April 8 by TV writer Julie Benson which read: ‘Got this disturbing news from my Atlanta friend who’s background on Tulsa King this wk.
‘Casting agent quit because she was so disgusted. My friend is feeling anxious about working now.@TheSlyStallone what do you have to say for yourself, sir? Beyond disappointed, I’m livid.’
Rose Locke, a casting director on Tulsa King has quit the series.
The post included screenshots of a Facebook post which claim Stallone was heard saying to Zisk: ‘What the F*** is happening with these F****** ugly background’ – referring to the extras in a scene.
The post continued: ‘He and the director proceeded to call certain people terrible names and laughed at them. “Tub of lard, fat guy with cane” and was making fun of their weight and handicaps.’

The post further alleged ‘Sly said, “Bring in pretty young girls to be around me.”‘
Another background actor claimed on the CL Casting Facebook page: ‘I was there, right behind Mr. Stallone. He shouted to the director to come over here. Lot’s of F bombs dropped.
‘Stallone was very upset with the look of the background actors. Said they were hideous and old and fat. Next thing, people are being told to go back to holding and younger people were brought in.’
The Facebook post said Locke has resigned from the show and that background actors ‘all need to stand together’ in order to ‘show this production we don’t support this kind of disrespect in GA.’
Another screenshot was of an email allegedly from Locke in which she wrote she had gone to the set after being ‘informed of certain things.’
‘At the end of the day I resigned because it was a clear toxic environment that I was not comfortable putting myself or background artists in.’
The post continued: ‘He and the director proceeded to call certain people terrible names and laughed at them. “Tub of lard, fat guy with cane” and was making fun of their weight and handicaps’
She apologized to the recipients of the email and added her number to gather information about anything people ‘saw or heard. I will be sending the info to HR.’
The Facebook page for Rose Locke Casting – which refers visitors to the page for CL Casting posted a statement on April 7 announcing it had parted ways with Tulsa King.
The post read: ‘Hi team, we wanted to send you an update on the happenings here in our casting world. We have chosen to part ways with Tulsa King. We will be finishing up next week and the 12th will be our last day. We send well wishes to whomever takes over the show. We thank all of you great background artists for your continued support.
‘Love You Mean It
‘Rose, Bailey, Chicago, Patrick and Robb.’
One background actor wrote on Facebook in response: ‘I was there! I was 10 feet from Stallone and I did not hear him say those words BUT he did seem to not to want to be there.
‘He never spoke to any extras and he did call the Director over and whisper things and there was a heavy set man on a cane as an extra. I LOVE Stallone but I was very disappointed in him. He was only there for an hour and a half so I do not want to hear him say anymore how grueling shooting a tv show is.
