A very brief cameo from former Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., in Prime Video’s “Jury Duty: Company Retreat” is taking some viewers by surprise following sexual misconduct and harassment allegations that prompted his resignation.

“That’s wild,” one user wrote on X, saying she didn’t realize the former congressman, who she called “disgraced,” had made an appearance as an instructor on the show.

On Threads, one user described seeing Swalwell on the show as “kinda uncomfortable.”

Another, responding to someone who had questioned why no one had raised concerns about Swalwell’s appearance, said they were happy that his airtime was so “clipped.”

According to the entertainment news platform Decider, Swalwell’s appearance came around 18 minutes into Episode 8 of “Company Retreat.”

None of the seminar Swalwell is delivering appears in the episode, but he does appear in front of the cast and asks if anyone has questions, the outlet added.

After calling on one character who asks, “Can you speak on the corrosive influence of money in politics?” Swalwell put his hands in his pockets and lets out a sigh.

His full response was said to have been cut for time.

The show’s filming concluded approximately two years before recent allegations emerged against Swalwell, Decider stated.

Amazon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Swalwell’s scant appearance became a point of conversation as the former congressman faces a slew of sexual misconduct and harassment allegations from multiple women who recently came forward to recount their experiences.

Following the allegations, Swalwell suspended his campaign for California governor and resigned from his position in Congress.

While he has denied the allegations of misconduct, he has admitted to making mistakes in the past.

“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said in a statement announcing his resignation.

“I will fight the serious, false allegations made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating the multiple allegations against Swalwell, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Fox News Digital.

District attorneys for both Los Angeles and New York have also launched their own respective investigations.

The season finale of HBO’s medical drama “The Pitt” has sparked a divide among viewers, pitting the show’s gritty medical realism against a vocal online fanbase that is calling the latest plot points discriminatory.

The drama has tackled controversial storylines in previous episodes, but it now faces criticism from viewers on social media who argue the show’s focus on realism conflicts with expectations around diversity and inclusion.

At the center of the controversy is Hollywood veteran Noah Wyle, with some viewers calling his character’s focus on patient safety discriminatory and others directing criticism at the actor himself.

The season 2 finale saw months of tension culminate in a confrontation between Wyle’s character, Dr. Robby, and a female colleague who revealed she had been hiding a serious seizure disorder. When Wyle’s character argued she was unfit to run a high-pressure ER, some social media critics accused the show of ableism.

“I just don’t understand why he’s so against disabled people being able to work when they’ve been cleared to do so,” read one post online.

However, other viewers took to X to defend the show, pointing to the high stakes of emergency medicine. One post with more than 1.2 million views warned about the danger of a doctor seizing while a patient is paralyzed for intubation.

Another viral post added: “It’s so funny that ‘The Pitt’ fandom is unironically like ‘it’s actually fine for an ER doctor to have uncontrolled seizures, it’s fine if it happens while she’s in someone’s chest cavity or intubating them, because of woke.’”

Criticism of Wyle has since grown, in part because he is an executive producer and helps write the show.

Some viewers have blurred the line between Wyle and his character in the wake of a recent GQ interview discussing the role.

“I made jokes [on set] this season where I’d get done yelling at somebody and say, ‘Someone bring me another woman to yell at!’” Wyle said of his character’s gruff relationship with female staff.

He clarified that his character is simply pushing colleagues to be better and that actors come to his set “not to be comfortable, but to work.” The comments left some X users upset.

One user on X wrote, “I honestly think Noah Wyle should quit the arts and become a manosphere streamer,” while another called the remarks “misogynistic, borderline abusive jokes about the women on set.”

The backlash has also extended to the departure of actress Supriya Ganesh, who played Dr. Mohan. Some fans accused Wyle of writing out a woman of color while keeping white male leads, despite the character’s season-long storyline about burnout.

Wyle has said the show aims to reflect the high-turnover reality of the medical field.

Wyle’s team did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

The NBA playoffs hit different when the New York Knicks are involved.

The Knicks are in the conversation to represent the Eastern Conference for the first time since 1999, but first, they have to get through the Atlanta Hawks.

The Knicks and Hawks have had a bit of a rivalry since the 2021 postseason after Trae Young became a Knick killer and ultimate enemy.

The squads will begin their series on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, but for New York radio host Kazeem Famuyide, the battle began several days ago.

Famuyide, a part of “Mornings with Mero” on the famed New York hip-hop station new Hot 97, said on Monday that his station “should play no Atlanta artists until the series is over.”

That means no Usher, Ludacris, T.I., Lil Baby, and numerous others.

“Day one of my Atlanta music protest starts today, we ain’t trying to hear NONE of that until the first round over lol,” Famuyide posted to X the following day.

The station went Atlanta-less on Monday, and Famuyide said the music was “still good and current.”

The Athletic noted that Famuyide said he wanted to “show some New York solidarity” on Friday’s show. Famuyike also co-hosts a podcast with Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony.

If Atlanta decides to hold up to the same protest, they’d be negating some of the greatest artists of all time, including The Notorious B.I.G, JAY-Z, Nas, and Fabolous.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani took part in the Knicks-Hawks rivalry earlier this week, placing blame on the aforementioned Young for expensive playoff tickets at the Garden. Young, however, no longer plays for the Hawks.

The Hawks defeated the Knicks in five games in their last playoff meeting. New York has the third seed in the conference, while Atlanta finished with the sixth.
