The first season of 'Tulsa King' premiered on November 13, 2022, and it is not known if these allegations will affect the development of the second season of the series, which is set to premiere at some point in late 2024.

According to a report by Variety, casting director Rose Locke has reportedly resigned from the project because of Stallone's mistreatment, and screenwriter Julie Benson has amplified extras' complaints about Stallone.

So far, Stallone's representatives have not responded to the accusations against the actor, but the series' director and executive producer, Craig Zisk, has dismissed the extras' claims, saying that the disparaging comments made by the Rocky actor were 'due to discrepancies in the selection of extras.

What is he said to have done?

The 77-year-old, famous for movies such as Rocky Balboa, Rambo and The Expendables, reportedly mocked cast members as "ugly" or a "tub of lard", whilst another man heard himself called a "fat guy with a cane".

It led to the casting company, Rose Locke Casting, to terminate their deal with the TV show and those trying to access them are redirected to CL Casting.

"We wanted to send you an update on the happenings here in our casting world," Rose Lock Casting said online. "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."
