Overview

  • Kove bit Hannah-Kim’s arm at Summer Con in Puyallup so hard it nearly drew blood, prompting event organizers to escort him from the convention.
  • Puyallup Police bodycam footage captures Kove admitting the bite was meant as a playful “jest” grounded in their on-set banter.
  • Hannah-Kim opted not to pursue charges but asked officers to file an official report in case of future incidents.
  • In April 2024, Sony Pictures Television probed a sexual harassment claim against Kove by an extra, leading to a formal warning.
  • A resurfaced 2013 interview with Bill Hader recounts a prior unsettling encounter in which Kove deliberately misled him and taunted him with a cookie and milkshake.
