According to an Instagram account operating under the moniker @vought_hq, one of the shows leading star, Antony Starr who portrays the series’ antagonist, Homelander has been called out for being toxic on set.

Via a series of Q and A with its followers, the account alleges Starr of being a bully to a number of the shows female co-stars. The account namedrops Dominique McElligott who portrayed Queen Maeve as part of the ensemble cast of The Boys as one of Antony Starr’s victims on set.

According to @vought_hq’s Q and A on their Instagram stories, Starr’s on set antics was the reason for McElligott’s exit from the series. The account goes on to call out Starr for being sexist and a bully so much that Dominique McElligott was forced out of the industry and would always fly back home than be with the cast.

The account in their words allege:

“I was told by someone in costumes that Antony Starr bullied Dominique McElligott so bad that she left the industry and would always fly back home instead of being with the cast because of him. He’s a bully, a sexist dickhead who has beaten up people on more than one occasion.”

@Vought_hq via their Instagram stories also revealed that a former actor on the show who they quote was a source they spoke with regularly, confirmed that Dominique McElligott was relentlessly bullied on the set of The Boys by Starr.

Starr is also alleged to have been inappropriate with female guest stars on the show, according to @Vought_hq’s source.

“Yes. A former actor of the show I spoke with regularly told me he bullied Dominique relentlessly and would be very inappropriate with the female guest stars. I’m not saying who told mebecause that will reveal who this actor is and it’s not fair to reveal them without permission.”

The social media account however paints Season 3’s series regular, Jensen Ackles who portrayed Soldier Boy on the show as stepping in to defend one of his co-stars from Starr.

“He even looked after Maxine when Starr screamed at her outside his trailer I was told”

Revealing how they came by the scoop on set, the Instagram account, credits the Covid-19 pandemic period playing a key role in getting the scoop.

@Vought_hq answered via the Q and A:

“So it was by accident at first. Remember the pandemic when everyone was playing animal crossing Stephan Fleet played it and I was sending him materials for his town and he started telling me all this stuff and I was shocked. Also Juliann Wilding would just tell stuff without asking just to feel great I guess? The rest of the stuff came anonymously.”

The alleged scoop from the set of The Boys should be taken with a pinch of salt though, but an interesting thing to note is how consistent the account has been in releasing spoilers from the show way before the episodes air.

So far, @Vought_hq has released episode spoilers that have all come out true after the episodes air, which in some way, hints at the account having insider scoop within the set of ‘The Boys’.
