Sepideh Moafi Denies Rift With Noah Wyle, Clarifies On-Set Dynamics for The Pitt

Sepideh Moafi is setting the record straight regarding whispers of conflict with her The Pitt colleague Noah Wyle.

The actress joined the show's second season playing Dr Baran Al-Hashimi, stepping in as an interim replacement for Wyle's Dr Robby during his scheduled sabbatical. Following the season's launch, speculation emerged that her character's storyline served as payback for reported behind-the-scenes tension.

Moafi firmly rejected those claims in a recent conversation with Variety. "Absolutely not," she stated. "I do not have that power. We're really great colleagues. Noah and I have always had a great working relationship, which is why it actually felt safe to do the darker, dirtier work in episode 15, particularly because, between setups, we were shooting the sh-t and laughing."

She continued: "So that's completely false that there's a personal sort of beef or rivalry between us, at least not that I'm aware of. You can check with Noah, but I don't know about this."

The actress confirmed her participation in The Pitt's upcoming third season, though the scope of her involvement remains uncertain. "At the moment, I am. I'm not sure to what capacity," she said with a laugh. "I'm positive, I think? Nothing is clear to me as to what's happening with the story, how many episodes, all that, but I am coming back."
