“I think that’s the tricky thing with all this stuff,” Middleditch said in an interview with The A.V. Club. “Speaking as a guy, as a man, as a male human, it’s kind of scary, with this fervor that’s surrounding it, where an allegation can just pop up and then it’s really incumbent upon you to fervently defend your character. I’m not gonna dive into what’s real or not. I’m just saying it’s a little bit scary.” He adds: “I mean, I thought the whole Aziz Ansari thing was kind of absurd. Like, there’s a difference between assault and just kind of strange sex.” As for Miller's decision to leave the HBO comedy, Middleditch says: “No one wants to be either on a show that they’re kind of ready to move on from, or around someone who’s on a show that they are ready to move on from."
