Sepideh Moafi shuts down rumors of tension with The Pitt star Noah Wyle
In her interview with Variety, Sepideh Moafi denied rumors of a feud with Noah Wyle on the sets of The Pitt. She stated, “Absolutely not,” rubbishing allegations of her character arc leading to the rift, “I do not have that power. We’re really great colleagues.”
The 40-year-old continued, “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 shit and laughing.” She added, “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.”
Moafi noted that they can check with Wyle, but she doesn’t know about this. Moreover, the actress confirmed her comeback in the upcoming season but is unsure about the length of her role. She said, “At the moment, I am. I’m not sure to what capacity.” The Black Bird star further explained, “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.”
Talking about Moafi’s onscreen character in the show, Dr. Al-Hashimi was revealed to suffer from a chronic seizure disorder. Wyle’s Dr Robby asked her to disclose her condition to the hospital, but Al-Hashimi has a medical plan in place. Moafi shared that this is the arc she wanted to fight for.
“People with disabilities, people with health conditions, are not disposable, and let’s just be clear about that,” she stated. “They are not fucking disposable, and the idea of you did this, and so now you’re gone is outrageous and cruel,” the actress continued.
