What is going on!?

Outer Banks is shooting its fifth and final season in Dubrovnik, Croatia – and the show is in its first week of filming. On Wednesday 22nd October, TMZ alleges there was a physical confrontation on set where Outer Banks creator Jonas Pate got physical with a female production assistant and Madelyn Cline and Chase Stokes had to step in.

In a quote to PEOPLE, a source said Jonas Pate “was screaming at the female production assistant and grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her. He didn’t hurt her or try to hurt her. He just crossed a line. Putting your hands on someone is never, ever okay.”
