Damon Wayans claims his former Lethal Weapon costar Clayne Crawford was responsible for an onset injury he sustained.
Wayans, 57, made the allegations on Twitter Monday night after the Fox series was renewed for a third season and Crawford’s replacement announced.
As fans got upset about the news, Wayans defended the casting changes and he shared a video of himself in which he says he was hit by shrapnel during a small explosion on the set.
“Now that the fate of the show is solidified.. I’d like to address the TWITTER outrage with this video and image to follow. #directedby @ClayneCrawford,” Wayans tweeted.
Representatives for Fox, Warner Bros. TV and Crawford did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
In the video, something explodes behind Wayans and the actor is seen ducking with his face twisted in pain as he clutches his head. In the hashtag, Wayans included the episode in which he sustained the injury was directed by Crawford.
In a second tweet, Wayans shows a close-up look at his injury, a cut on the back of his head with blood dripping down his neck.
“How does the shrapnel from this hit me on the opposite side of the head? #directedby@claynecrawford,” he tweeted.
The star then shared what appeared to be an explanation he was given for the incident.
“Below is a rendering seeking to explain yesterday’s incident. It turns out there was a second shooter, to Damon’s left, on the other side of the pillar behind which his character was crouched, which accounts for what he heard from his left side.
@claynecrawford #noapology,” Wayans tweeted.In more tweets, Wayans alleged Crawford “hit another actor in the mouth with a bottle of green tea and busted his mouth open.”
“He hit another actor in the mouth with a bottle of green tea and busted his mouth open. @lancehenriksen a white man!!! #notanaccident #knowyourfacts!” he tweeted.
A representative for Henriksen did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Wayans then shared a photo of a sticker he said could be seen around the studio lot…
