Controversy
According to set costumer, Tasha Goldthwait (daughter of Bobcat Goldthwait), Max Landis created a hostile workplace that included sexual assault and harassment. Landis quickly began subjecting Goldthwait to what she described as "physical, sexual, and verbal abuse." "He would talk about his penis all the time to me, brag about the size of it." She continued, "On set he would touch me all the time, he would pick me up and turn me upside down and carry me around set. My shirt would come above my face and I'd be exposed. At one point we were on set with people around and he pushed me down and got on top of me on a bed. I raised my voice and told him to get off of me, and eventually managed to get him off."
