According to CNN, "Rick and Morty" co-creator Dan Harmon is in hot water.
Harmon is apologizing for a 'distasteful' 2009 video which has recently resurfaced.
Created for Harmon's Channel 101 website, the video was a pilot for a "Dexter" parody.
"In 2009, I made a 'pilot' which strove to parody the series "Dexter" and only succeeded in offending... I quickly realized the content was way too distasteful and took the video down immediately. Nobody should ever have to see what you saw and for that, I sincerely apologize." Dan Harmon
The video recently resurfaced on a 4chan thread titled "Dan Harmon Pedo Exposed."
Harmon is the latest entertainment industry figure to have past actions come back to haunt them.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn was fired from the third film after past tweets.
Gunn's tweets from several years ago featured jokes about pedophilia and molestation.
Adult Swim, which broadcasts "Rick and Morty," provided a statement in support of Harmon.
"At Adult Swim, we seek out and encourage creative freedom and look to push the envelope in many ways, particularly around comedy. The offensive content of Dan's 2009 video that recently surfaced demonstrates poor judgement and does not reflect the type of content we seek out. Dan recognized his mistake at the time and has apologized. He understands there is no place for this type of content here at Adult Swim." Adult Swim
Following the controversy, Harmon deleted his Twitter account.
