Fred Savage — ‘Wonder Years’ Star Hit With New Assault Claims

Fred Savage has been accused of abuse on the set, getting hit with a lawsuit from his short-lived sitcom with Rob Lowe — 25 years after "The Wonder Years" was canceled after he was hit with claims of sexual harassment!

Set costumer Youngjoo Hwang is going to court over her claims from "The Grinder," saying Savage "violently struck" her while preparing him for shooting. She also claims the actor verbally abused her in front of other people — and is suing both Savage and Twentieth Century FOX for harassment, assault, battery and discrimination. Savage denies the claims, and FOX executives say they found "no evidence of any wrongdoing."

It's still a horrific development after Savage had his earlier sex scandals brought to life in the wake of the #MeToo movement — as brave Hollywood women spoke out against the showbiz casting couch system. The National ENQUIRER had originally covered the 1993 sex scandal when Savage, then a child star, shut down "The Wonder Years" with his bad behavior.

Alley Mills shocked fans in Jan. 2018 when the star's TV mother reminded viewers that her young costar had been hit with a sexual harassment suit that she dismissed as "completely ridiculous." But while she praised Savage as a "wonderful, sweet human being," others had told The ENQUIRER that he had become a sex-crazed "Peeping Tom!"

Since then, however, Savage had rebuilt his reputation as both a popular star and television director. This new lawsuit, however, once again has put the career of the Hollywood veteran at risk!
