The online trolling against Barrowman started after a 2015 video from a fan convention went viral. In the video, Noel Clarke alleged that Barrowman took “his [expletive] out every five minutes.”
Clarke also asked his co-star Camille Coduri if she remembered “that time he put it on your shoulder in the makeup truck?” to which she responded with, “Yes, I do.”
Barrowman later addressed the claims by denying all the accusations. He, however, admitted to “tomfoolery” on the set of the BBC show.
The Torchwood actor was involved in a similar incident back in 2008. He reportedly had to apologize after pulling down his trousers during an interview with BBC Radio 1.
At the time, he explained himself by saying that he had joined in “the light-hearted and fun banter of the show” but “went too far.”
Meanwhile, despite all the backlash and accusations, Barrowman and his husband have stayed strong.

As stated earlier, Gill even thanked the people who trusted them and sent supportive messages during their challenging times.
“To all of you who have sent us lovely messages - THANK YOU!” the actor’s longtime partner noted in his Instagram post.
