Iain Armitage Responds to Young Sheldon Set Rumors: 'Grateful for Grace'

Iain Armitage is speaking up after claims surfaced that he was difficult on the Young Sheldon set. The rumors come from Jessica Radloff’s new oral history of the series, and Iain’s response is refreshingly honest: leading a show as a kid was a big undertaking, and he’s grateful to his castmates for giving him grace while he grew into the role. Costars Annie Potts and Wallace Shawn added their own perspective on his behavior and growth across the show’s run, which makes the whole story feel a lot more human than the headline suggests.

In other entertainment news, Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba denied favoritism claims after the audience booed her critique of Guillermo Rodriguez’s samba. Her stance was simple: a lower score doesn’t mean someone else is the favorite. And The Challenge alum Taylor Selfridge confirmed she initiated her breakup with Cory Wharton and had already moved out before he posted about it online.

So here’s the big question: when a behind-the-scenes book drops claims about a former child star, whose side are you taking? Should oral histories name names, or is some of this better left unsaid? Drop your take in the comments.
