Sarah Hyland: The Set Tyrant? Co-Star’s Audio Drama from The Wedding Year
In a recent interview, comedian Jeff Dye accused Sarah Hyland of tyrannical behaviour on the set of their 2019 film, The Wedding Year. He recounted her complaints about extras eating free snacks and claimed she insulted him for embodying ‘what is wrong with people’ due to his masculinity. Dye also revealed how he took it upon himself to humorously ruin her heartfelt moment watching a Dumbo trailer, resulting in his departure from the set.
Once upon a time in 2019, Sarah Hyland, star of Modern Family, tried her hand at romantic comedy in The Wedding Year. Fast forward six years, and she’s been accused of pulling a real diva act on set. Comedian Jeff Dye, who had quite the brief role as Anna Camp’s on-screen hubby, told tales of Hyland’s allegedly tyrannical behaviour during an interview on The George Janko Show. Apparently, she wasn’t too happy with the free catering provided to extras — how dare they?!
Dye referenced a particular incident where Hyland was fuming about extras indulging in some granola bars, stating, “She was such a tyrant, rude to everyone.” Talk about being dramatic! And if that wasn’t enough, Colour me horrified — she also snapped at him: “You are what is wrong with people.” Ouch!
But wait, there’s more! Dye revealed he thought he’d spice things up (and not in a good way) by sabotaging an emotional scene Hyland was trying to orchestrate. When she began to cry over the live-action Dumbo trailer, he simply quipped, “Eh, that ‘looks gay.’” You could almost hear a collective gasp from the crew! Dye claimed he was booted off set the very next day — and we can only imagine the eye rolls!
The Wedding Year wasn’t a blockbuster hit, only getting a balmy 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s about Hyland’s character, Mara, grappling with wedding pressures while juggling her own relationship. Other stars included Jenna Dewan and Matt Shively, and the film is currently free to binge on Tubi — because, you know, you might want to see if all this drama is true!
So, after all the hullabaloo, the big question remains: will Sarah Hyland ever grace us with a Modern Family reboot? Spoiler alert — she just might, under some very specific circumstances!
Just imagine a world where tyrants take the lead in romantic comedies. What a plot twist!
In summary, Sarah Hyland has found herself amid drama six years after The Wedding Year premiered, with co-star Jeff Dye casting her as a ‘tyrant’ on set. As he shared his experiences, from unsolicited critiques of extras to ruining her emotional moments, there’s no denying that the behind-the-scenes antics could’ve made for a feature-length comedy of their own. Whether this incident tarnishes her reputation remains to be seen — but it certainly keeps the gossip mill churning!
