On the morning of June 9, Vulture quietly published an interview with The Real O'Neals actor Noah Galvin that quickly turned into an internet sensation. Although the Q&A starts out innocently enough, Noah's candid opinions on X-Men: Apocalypse director Bryan Singer, Arrow actor Colton Haynes, Modern Family favorite Eric Stonestreet, and being gay in Hollywood in general earned the 22-year-old actor plenty of attention. Given the fact that this kind of unfiltered celebrity interview is a rarity these days, Noah was simultaneously praised and reviled, eventually leading him to issue an apology. An exact timeline of what went down is below. Noah's interview with Vulture was published. In the June

As they should. The show was on the fence about being renewed, and then once it gets picked up for a second season, he does something like this to jeopardize it all. He is great on the show, but in real life he comes off as a spoiled, entitled jerk.

This very good, but barely watched network show was renewed by the skin of its teeth

. One of the reasons was the star of the show’s ego and the way he demanded everyone treat him like the king of the set. Now comes word that the show actually will be canceled because of him and a recent interview he gave.

Can a press interview gone bad kill a television show?

On June 9, Noah Galvin, the openly gay star of ABC's The Real O'Neals
— a coming-of-age sitcom about a gay Chicago teen and his conservative
family — gave a brutally frank interview to New York magazine's
Vulture blog about Hollywood's "glass closet." In it, Galvin, 22,
described another gay actor, Colton Haynes, as "the worst" and Haynes'
recent coming out as "f—ing ***** bull****"; called Eric Stonestreet's
Emmy-winning performance as a gay dad on Modern Family "a caricature
of a caricature"; and, most controversially, targeted Bryan Singer
with a comment about underaged boys that later was stricken from the
story after the X-Men director's lawyers intervened.

Sources with knowledge of the events say ABC was blindsided by the
interview, which was set up by Galvin's personal publicist, Maria
Candida, as part of an Emmy push for the young star. (She declined
comment.) Galvin quickly apologized for his "brazen and hurtful
comments" on Twitter, but how all of this bad press affects the
low-rated bubble series — which, after an "abusive" waiting period
(Galvin's word), was renewed by the network May 12 — remains to be
seen. As the controversy raged, the specter of a reduced episode order
arose at ABC, according to one source. An executive producer who had
spent four years getting the series on the air was "begging the
network not to take action," says this source. (Reps for ABC declined
comment on the situation.)

And this was not the first such incident involving the actor's
behavior. Insiders say Galvin — a New York native who had only a
couple of small acting credits before landing the starring role on
Real O'Neals, which is based on sex columnist Dan Savage's childhood —
has been warned multiple times about matters of "ego and entitlement."
One show source says the set likely will be awkward when the cast
returns to film season two later this summer: "He caused a grade-A
**** show. ABC screamed at him all afternoon."
