Jonas Pate accused of grabbing PA as stars intervene on Dubrovnik set

Actors Madelyn Cline and Chase Stokes intervened on the Dubrovnik set of Outer Banks this week after Jonas Pate, a co-creator and director on the series, allegedly grabbed and shouted at a female production assistant, multiple production sources said. The episode occurred while the Netflix drama was filming its fifth and final season in Croatia.

According to those sources, Pate physically shook the production assistant and shouted in her face, prompting Stokes to step between them and separate the two. Cline then moved in to help deescalate the situation. Production reportedly continued after the incident. Several people working on the set described tensions as high in recent days and said the alleged outburst was part of a pattern of behavior, though those characterizations came from internal sources rather than studio officials.

Representatives for Pate and for the actors did not immediately provide comment, and Netflix has not announced any personnel changes or a formal response. It was not clear whether the company or producers had opened an internal investigation or what disciplinary steps, if any, might follow.
