Since the start of Season 2, there have been rumors swirling around the cast of “The Pitt,” which has inspired fanfiction, and, at times, has even gotten the fandom into a toxic frenzy.Warrick Page / Warrick Page/MAXSepideh Moafi, who stars as Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi in the series, officially shut down the rumor that there’s some ongoing, onset feud with her costar, Noah Wyle.Warrick Page/HBO Max“Absolutely not,” Moafi told Variety. “I do not have that power. We’re really great colleagues. Noah and I have always had a great working relationship, which is why it actually felt safe to do the darker, dirtier work in episode 15, particularly because, between setups, we were shooting the sh*t and laughing.”John Lamparski / Getty Images“So that’s completely false that there’s a personal sort of beef or rivalry between us, at least not that I’m aware of,” she continued. “You can check with Noah, but I don’t know about this.”Warrick Page / Warrick Page/MAXAnd since Season 2 ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, Moafi also shared that Dr. Al-Hashimi will return for “The Pitt” Season 3.Warrick Page / Warrick Page/MAX“At the moment, I am. I’m not sure to what capacity,” Moafi laughed. “I’m positive, I think? Nothing is clear to me as to what’s happening with the story, how many episodes, all that, but I am coming back.”Lisa O'connor / Getty ImagesIn response to Moafi shutting down any notion of beef between her and Wyle, people on Twitter are saying enough is enough when it comes to the toxic fandom of “The Pitt”:“the Pitt fanbase is filled with some of the daftest fans, they can’t make a distinction between the characters in the show and the actors.”“There is a study to be conducted on how such a great smart adult show like the Pitt, somehow attracted the dumbest most toxic weird fandom.”“Horrible that she had to clear that up bc there’s a really loud section of the fandom just saying bs bc they’re miserable”“I wasn’t aware of those rumors but considering how rotten some part of the fan base has become, ppl need to get out of this app and touch grass.”“Online fandoms always take things too far. Actors shouldn’t have to debunk fake rivalry theories every few months.”But although Moafi and Wyle have no issues with each other, the actor shared that she was willing to fight for one thing: the integrity of Dr. Al-Hashimi’s storyline as it relates to people navigating disabilities in the workplace.Warrick Page / Warrick Page/HBOMAX“People with disabilities, people with health conditions, are not disposable, and let’s just be clear about that,” Moafi said. “They are not f*cking disposable, and the idea of you did this, and so now you’re gone is outrageous and cruel.”Warrick Page / Warrick Page/MAX“The Pitt” Season 3 will start filming in June.Warrick Page / Warrick Page/MAX
