Silicon Valley actor Alice Wetterlund has responded to allegations of sexual misconduct against her former co-star Thomas Middleditch.
On Sunday (21 March), a Los Angeles Times investigation into sexual misconduct at the Hollywood club Cloak & Dagger was released.
In the report, a woman named Hannah Harding recalled Middleditch – who was a member of the club – making “lewd sexual overtures” towards her and her girlfriend in October 2019, as well as groping her and another woman on the dance floor.
Harding also shared direct messages sent to her on Instagram from Middleditch, in which the actor said that Harding probably wanted to “put me on blast as a monster” and that he was “so ashamed I made you uncomfortable”.
On Sunday, Wetterlund, who played the role of Carla Walton on HBO’s Silicon Valley from 2015 to 2016, responded to the allegations against Middleditch, the show’s star.

“Tried to warn you all about Middleditch but noooooo,” the actor and comedian tweeted. “Not everyone’s favorite tinyman who looks like he lives in a clock!”
It’s not the first time Wetterlund has tweeted about Middleditch. In 2019, she responded to an interview with Playboy in which the actor revealed that he and his then-wife Mollie Gates were “swingers” who had group sex with his female fans.
“The shocker here for me was that he HAS female fans?!?” Wetterlund posted in response to the story.
The year before, after Middleditch called the #MeToo movement scary following a sexual assault allegation against fellow Silicon Valley star TJ Miller, Wetterlund tweeted that her time on the show had been “kind of a nightmare”.
“Pretty much everyone who had any power on that (almost all male) set, including the male cast members, enabled [Miller] and were complicit in his unprofessionalism,” she wrote. “They can f*** off forever.”
The Independent has contacted Middleditch’s representatives for comment.
