Clarence debuted with a rocky start. Just after the show aired its first season, a Cartoon Network employee came out with allegations against the title's creator and original voice of Clarence, Skyler Page.

Emily Partridge, an artist who worked on the channel's show Adventure Time, tweeted a thread in July 2014 claiming he had assaulted her. While she did not go into specifics in her thread, it had already leaked that Skyler was "known to grope women without their consent."

"I had heard rumors about Skyler being 'quirky' but nothing about his f--ked up behavior towards women until AFTER what happened to me," she tweeted. "If I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have let him catch me alone or be near me. I don't want the same thing to happen to anybody else."

A fellow Cartoon Network employee and former writer for Clarence also spoke out against Skyler on his Tumblr, claiming the creator's conduct was his reason for leaving the show.

"Obviously Skyler Page sexually assaulted a female artist at CN. Skyler's a piece of s--t, and CN should give him the boot," he wrote. "Emily Partridge is one badass chick for standing up to a guy who a lot of people wanted to cover up for. Skyler's a--hole behavior (though not yet sexual assault) was the main reason I quit the show more than a year ago."

Skyler was fired from Cartoon Network as a result of the allegations, and the show continued without him for some time.
