By all accounts Chevy Chase was an major asshole on community, would treat people like shit and would refuse to do scenes he didn't like (including a final scene in season 3 that needed to be rewritten). Dan Harmon also seems to be quite an asshole, making the entire cast say "Fuck You Chevy," playing Chevy's angry voicemail on his podcast, etc. Season 4 is really weird too, he's in like 25% of the episodes and the characters have to keep explaining away his absence.
Speaking to The New Yorker about his time on Community, Glover said he viewed Chase as a legend who refused to recognize he was at the nadir of his career. “I just saw Chevy as fighting time — a true artist has to be O.K. with his reign being over,” Glover said. “I can’t help him if he’s thrashing in the water. But I know there’s a human in there somewhere—he’s almost too human.”
Wow, that is simultaneously incredibly kind and brutally honest.
OK he's a lot worse than I thought. I figured he was just your standard boomer. Like I wasn't going to go out of my way to support the fucker to begin with. Fuck. OK ignore me I'm completely wrong, he's a piece of shit and fuck him.

I hadn't heard that, just the story about him dropping the n-word. Doesn't surprise me though, he's also pretty homophobic iirc.
